Two 5-year girls, Alyse and Jocelyn, have been training to run a 1-mile race. Alyse's 1 mile time A is approximately Normally di

stributed with a mean of 13.5 and standard deviation of 2.5 minutes. Jocelyn's 1-mile time J is approximately Normally distributed with a mean of 12 minutes and a standard deviation of 1.5 minutes. Assuming A and J are independent random variables, what is the probability that Alyse has a smaller time than Jocelyn in a 1 mile race on a randomly selected day?

Answer:

1.7 × 10⁻⁴

Step-by-step explanation:

The question relates to a two sample z-test for the comparison between the means of the two samples  

The null hypothesis is H₀:  μ₁ ≤ μ₂

The alternative hypothesis is Hₐ: μ₁ > μ₂

z=\dfrac{(\bar{x}_1-\bar{x}_2)-(\mu_{1}-\mu _{2} )}{\sqrt{\dfrac{\sigma_{1}^{2} }{n_{1}}-\dfrac{\sigma _{2}^{2}}{n_{2}}}}

Where;

\bar {x}_1 = 13.5

\bar {x}_2 = 12

σ₁ = 2.5

σ₂ = 1.5

We set our α level at 0.05

Therefore, our critical z = ± 1.96

For n₁ = n₂ = 23, we have;

z=\dfrac{(13.5-12)-(0)}{\sqrt{\dfrac{2.5^{2} }{23}-\dfrac{1.5^{2}}{23}}} = 3.5969

We reject the null hypothesis at α = 0.05, as our z-value, 3.5969 is larger than the critical z, 1.96 or mathematically, since 3.5969 > 1.96

Therefore, there is enough statistical evidence to suggest that Alyse time is larger than Jocelyn in a 1 mile race on a randomly select day and the probability that Alyse has a larger time than Jocelyn is 0.99983

Therefore;

The probability that Alyse has a smaller time than Jocelyn is 1 - 0.99983 = 0.00017 = 1.7 × 10⁻⁴.

Suppose that fanf g are continuous functions,
shtirl [24]

The required result based on given continuous functions is: 207. See the explanation for same below.

<h3>What are continuous functions?</h3>


A continuous function in mathematics is one in which a continuous variation (that is, a change without a jump) of the argument causes a continuous variation of the function's value.

<h3>What is the calculation for the above solution?</h3>

Since G and F are continuous functions,

\int_{12}^{28}) \, f(x) dx = 19

\int_{12}^{28}) \, f(x) dx = 35

Therefore,

\int_{12}^{28}) \, [K g(x) - 2 f(x)] dx

= K \int_{12}^{28}) \, g(x) dx -2 \int_{12}^{28}) \, f(x) dx

So, given that K = 7, we have

7 x 35 - 2 x 19
= 245 - 38
= 207

How do you convert improper fractions to proper fractions
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

Step- for example, 27/6. The fraction bar means you need to divide 27 by 6.

Divide 27 by 6. The answer is 4, with a remainder of 3. Use the answer as the whole number part of the mixed number, and place the remainder over the original denominator: 4 3/6.
