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.

Solve the equation. Write your answer as an integer or simplified fraction.

<u>Corrected question :</u>

Solve the equation. Write your answer as an integer or simplified fraction.

  • 8n - 7 (n - 2) = 18

<u>Required Solution :</u>

The given equation,

  • 8n - 7 (n - 2) = 18

★ Multiplying -7 into (n - 2),

>> 8n - 7 × (n - 2) = 18

>> 8n - 7n + 14 = 18

★ On substracting 7n from 8n we gets,

>> n + 14 = 18

★ Now transposing 14 which is in L.H.S. into R.H.S. (Remember that sign would be . So 14 would be -14),

>> n = 18 - 14

>> n = 14

★ Therefore,

  • Value of n is 14.

If f(x)=.5x+15 , what is the value of f(-4)​
Levart [38]
  • <em>Answer:</em>

<em>f(-4) = 13</em>

  • <em>Step-by-step explanation:</em>

<em>Hi there ! </em>

<em>f(x) = 0.5x + 15</em>

<em>replace x = - 4</em>

<em>f(-4) = 0.5×(-4) + 15</em>

<em>= - 2 + 15</em>

<em>= 15 - 2</em>

<em>= 13</em>

<em>Good luck !</em>
