In order to study the relationship between playing football and traumatic brain injuries, researchers placed accelerometers in t

he helmets of many high school football teams. Accelerometers measure the amount of hits that boys playing high school football absorb during a season. Suppose the average number of hits absorbed by a helmet during a season was 355 hits with a standard deviation of 80 hits. What is the probability on a randomly selected team of 48 players that the average number of head hits per player is between 340 and 360 hits

Answer:

56.96% probability on a randomly selected team of 48 players that the average number of head hits per player is between 340 and 360 hits

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution

When the distribution is normal, we use 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.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

For a single player:

\mu = 355, \sigma = 80

For the sample mean(of 48 playes).

n = 48, s = \frac{80}{\sqrt{48}} = 11.547

What is the probability on a randomly selected team of 48 players that the average number of head hits per player is between 340 and 360 hits?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 360 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 340. So

X = 360

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

Z = \frac{360 - 355}{11.547}

Z = 0.43

Z = 0.43 has a pvalue of 0.6664

X = 340

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

Z = \frac{340 - 355}{11.547}

Z = -1.30

Z = -1.30 has a pvalue of 0.0968

0.6664 - 0.0968 = 0.5696

56.96% probability on a randomly selected team of 48 players that the average number of head hits per player is between 340 and 360 hits

Prove that sin(Π÷14)sin(3Π÷14)sin(5Π÷14)=2​
Oxana [17]

Answer:

The correct prove will be:

sin(\frac{\pi }{14})sin(\frac{3\pi }{14})sin(\frac{5\pi }{14}) = \frac{1}{8}

Step-by-step explanation:

    sin(\frac{\pi }{14})sin(\frac{3\pi }{14})sin(\frac{5\pi }{14})

            Multiply and Divide by 2cos(\frac{\pi }{14})

= \frac{2sin(\frac{\pi }{14})cos(\frac{\pi }{14})sin(\frac{3\pi }{14})sin(\frac{5\pi }{14})}{2cos(\frac{\pi }{14})}

⇒ Let \frac{\pi }{14} = Ф  and 7Ф = \frac{\pi }{2}

= sin2Ф sin3Ф sin5Ф ÷ 2cosФ

= 1/2(2sin2Фsin5Ф)sin3Ф ÷ 2cosФ

= (cos3Ф - cos7Ф) sin3Ф ÷ 4cosФ

= 1/2(2cos3Ф sin3Ф) ÷ 4cosФ               ∵cos7Ф = 0      

= sin6Ф ÷ 8cosФ

= sin(7Ф - Ф) ÷ 8cosФ                              

= (sin7ФcosФ - cos7ФsinФ) ÷ 8cosФ      ∵sin7Ф = 1  

= cosФ ÷ 8cosФ

= 1/8

Hence, The correct prove will be:

sin(\frac{\pi }{14})sin(\frac{3\pi }{14})sin(\frac{5\pi }{14}) = \frac{1}{8}

On Monday, Florencia's hair was hhh centimeters long. She got a haircut on Tuesday, so her hair was only 75%,of the length it wa
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

.75h

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that length of the hair of Florencia on Monday = h centimeters. So new length of the hair of Florencia on Tuesday = 75% of Monday value

= 75% of (h)

= 0.75* (h)

= 0.75h
