A person's level of blood glucose and diabetes are closely related. Let x be a random variable measured in milligrams of glucose

per deciliter (1/10 of a liter) of blood. Suppose that after a 12-hour fast, the random variable x will have a distribution that is approximately normal with mean μ = 90 and standard deviation of σ = 21 What is the probability that, for an adult after a 12-hour fast, x is less than 53?

Answer:

3.92% probability that, for an adult after a 12-hour fast, x is less than 53

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 90, \sigma = 21

What is the probability that, for an adult after a 12-hour fast, x is less than 53?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 53.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{53 - 90}{21}

Z = -1.76

Z = -1.76 has a pvalue of 0.0392

3.92% probability that, for an adult after a 12-hour fast, x is less than 53

Solving quadratic equation using the completing method.<br>(a).x^2+6x+1=0​
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

x = -3 + 2\sqrt2  \ , \ x = -3 - 2\sqrt2

Step-by-step explanation:

x² + 6x + 1 = 0

a = 1 , b = 6 , c = 1

x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}\\\\x = \frac{-6 \pm \sqrt{36-4}}{2}\\\\x=\frac{-6 \pm \sqrt{32}}{2}\\\\x= \frac{-6 \pm \sqrt{16 \times 2}}{2}\\\\x = \frac{-6 +4\sqrt2 }{2}\\\\x = -3 + 2\sqrt2  \ , \ x = -3 - 2\sqrt2

denis-greek [22]

Take note that they spent $18 afterwards having $28 on the card so they're spending money off the card so...

x-18=28

would be the equation for this and to solve do the following.

First add 18 to both sides making the equation.

x=46

Paul [167]

Answer: can u check out the image cuz the answer is in the photo and hope this helps can u give me brainliest

Step-by-step explanation:

24=3(n-5)

Distribute.

24=3(n) + 3(-5)

24 = 3n -15

Add 15 to both sides.

39 = 3n

Divide both sides by 3.

n = 13.

I hope this helps!.

The rule below shows how to find the position of an object thrown upward with initial velocity of 15 feet per second. Which answ
nekit [7.7K]

Here we're applying a basic physics rule for vertical motion where the only pull on the object is gravity.


This rule has the form


h(t) = h + v t + (1/2)a*t^2

o o


To adapt this rule to this particular question replace h with 0, as the

o

upward path of the object begins at 0 ft. Replace v with +15 ft/sec.

o


Replace "a" with (-32.2 ft/(sec^2); this is the acceleration due to gravity.


Then we have the following, with the label F(t):


F(t) = 0 + (15 ft/sec)t + (1/2)(-32.2 ft)/(sec^2), or


F(t) = 15t - 16.1t^2. Thus, Choice D is correct.


Please note: To avoid confusion, please use " ^ " to denote exponentiation:


F(t) = -16t^2 + 15t
