Suppose that the walking step lengths of adult males are normally distributed with a mean of 2.5 feet and a standard deviation o

Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

0.0668 = 6.68% probability that an individual man’s step length is less than 1.9 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score 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 p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Normally distributed with a mean of 2.5 feet and a standard deviation of 0.4 feet.

This means that $\mu = 2.5, \sigma = 0.4$

Find the probability that an individual man’s step length is less than 1.9 feet.

This is the p-value of Z when X = 1.9. So

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

$Z = \frac{1.9 - 2.5}{0.4}$

$Z = -1.5$

$Z = -1.5$ has a p-value of 0.0668

0.0668 = 6.68% probability that an individual man’s step length is less than 1.9 feet.

According to a Los Angeles Times study of more than 1 million medical dispatches from to , the response time for medical aid var

-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

A)Mean :10.65

Median =10.7

Mode : 10.7

B)Range = 3.5

Standard deviation :0.89916

C)The response time of 8.3 minutes should be considered an outlier in comparison to the other response times

Step-by-step explanation:

A)

Data : 11.8 ,10.3, 10.7, 10.6, 11.5, 8.3, 10.5, 10.9, 10.7, 11.2

$Mean = \frac{\text{Sum of all observations}}{\text{No. of observations}}\\Mean = \frac{11.8 +10.3+ 10.7+ 10.6+ 11.5+ 8.3+ 10.5+ 10.9+ 10.7+ 11.2}{10}$

Mean = 10.65

Median: The mid value of the data

Data in ascending order

8.3

10.3

10.5

10.6

10.7

10.9

11.2

11.5

11.8

n=10(even)

$Median = \frac{(\frac{n}{2})\text{th term}+(\frac{n}{2}+1)\text{th term}}{2}\\Median = \frac{(\frac{10}{2})\text{th term}+(\frac{10}{2}+1)\text{th term}}{2}\\Median = \frac{10.7+10.7}{2}\\Median = 10.7$

Mode : the most occurring frequency

10.7 is occurring twice while others are occurring once

So, Mode is 10.7

B) Range = Maximum - Minimum=11.8-8.3=3.5

Standard deviation : $\sqrt{\frac{\sum(x-\bar{x})^2}{n}}$

Standard deviation : $\sqrt{\frac{(11.8-10.65)^2+(10.3-10.65)^2+......+(10.9-10.65)^2+(10.7-10.65)^2+(11.2-10.65)^2}{10}}$

Standard deviation :0.89916

C)

8.3

,10.3

,10.5

For Q1 ( Median of lower quartile )

8.3

,10.3

,10.5

,10.6

,10.7

$Median = \frac{n+1}{2}\text{th term} =\frac{5+1}{2}=3 \text{rd term}=10.5$

For Q3( Median of Upper quartile )

10.7

,10.9

,11.2

,11.5

,11.8

$Median = \frac{n+1}{2}\text{th term} =\frac{5+1}{2}=3 \text{rd term}=11.2$

IQR = Q3-Q1=11.2-10.5=0.7

Range :(Q1-1.5IQR, Q3-1.5IQR)

Range : $(10.5-1.5 \times 0.7, 11.2-1.5 \times 0.7)$

Range :(9.45, 10.15)

8.3 does not lie in this interval

So, the response time of 8.3 minutes should be considered an outlier in comparison to the other response times

Algebra I

Solving systems of equations using substitution/elimination

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define systems

3x + y = 10

y = x - 2

Step 2: Solve for x

Substitute: 3x + (x - 2) = 10
Combine like terms: 4x - 2 = 10
Isolate x term: 4x = 12
Isolate x: x = 3

Step 3: Solve for y

Define original equation: y = x - 2
Substitute in x: y = 3 - 2
Subtract: y = 1

And we have our answer!
