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.

In the diagram, the measure of angle 8 is 124°, and the measure of angle 2 is 84°.
Margaret [11]

m∠8 + m∠7 = 180°


therefore


m∠7 = 180° - m∠8


m∠8 = 124°


substitute:

m∠7 = 180° - 124° = 56°


Answer: 56 degrees

Maggie drew triangle and then triangle . Triangle is congruent to triangle only if ∠ is equal to what value?
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

Angle ABE = 58

Step-by-step explanation:

This would fulfill the AAA theorem, or 3 angles needing to be congruent. We got 58 by subtracting 89 and 62 from 180, then multiplying that answer by 2 (because it occupies both triangles).

Answer:

4th and 5th option

Step-by-step explanation:

you can easily add eqn 1 and 2 to get rid of the y term for 4th option and get rid of x term by addition as well for the 5th option

this is a topic on simultaneous equation. If you wish to explore more into this topic you can give me a follow on Instagram (learntionary) I'll be posting the notes for this topic and some other tips :)
