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.

Separate the x- and y-values with a comma.<br> X=-3+y<br> 26x - 5y = 6
labwork [276]

Answer:

The solution of the given system is (x,y) = (1,4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given system of equation is:

x  = -3 + y

26 x - 5 y =  6

Now, substitute x  = -3 + y in the second equation , we get

26 x - 5 y =  6  ⇒   26 (-3 + y) - 5 y =  6

or, 26(-3)  + 26(y)  - 5y = 6

⇒ - 78 + 26 y - 5y = 6

⇒   21 y =  84

⇒  y = 84 / 21 = 4   or ,   y =  4

So x  = -3 + y  =  -3 + 4 = 1

Hence, the solution of the given system is (x,y) = (1,4)

Solve each equation.<br> 1. 25 - 3x = 40<br> 2. } (x – 10) = -4
nordsb [41]

Step-by-step explanation:

For no 1

<em>2</em><em>5</em><em> </em><em>-</em><em> </em><em>3x </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>4</em><em>0</em><em> </em>

<em>-</em><em> </em><em>3x </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>4</em><em>0</em><em> </em><em>-</em><em> </em><em>2</em><em>5</em><em> </em>

<em>-</em><em> </em><em>3x </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em>5</em><em> </em>

<em> </em><em>-</em><em> </em><em>x </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em>5</em><em> </em><em>/</em><em> </em><em>3</em>

<em>Therefore </em><em> </em><em>x </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>-</em><em> </em><em>5</em><em> </em>

<em>Now </em><em>for </em><em>no. </em><em> </em><em>2</em>

<em>1</em><em>/</em><em>3</em><em> </em><em>(</em><em> </em><em>x </em><em>-</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em>0</em><em>)</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>-</em><em> </em><em>4</em><em> </em>

<em>(</em><em> </em><em>x </em><em>-</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em>0</em><em> </em><em>)</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>-</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em>2</em><em> </em>

<em>x </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>-</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em>2</em><em> </em><em>+</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em>0</em>

<em>Therefore </em><em> </em><em>x </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>-</em><em> </em><em>2</em><em> </em>

<em>Hope </em><em>it </em><em>will </em><em>help </em><em>:</em><em>)</em>

If two triangles have three corresponding angles and three corresponding sides that are equal in measure, are the two triangles
nikitadnepr [17]
Yes, they are.

If the triangles have three corresponding angles equal means that they are either similar or congruent.

The definition of congruent means that the sides have the same length. That is precisely what the statement says.

So, being the lengths of the corresponding angles the same the two triangles are identical, this is they are congruent.
