Answer:

Rate of change of the diameter is equal to 0.053cm/min

Step-by-step explanation:

A snowball is of the shape of a sphere

Surface area of Sphere (S)= 4*pi*R^2

Rate of change of surface area

dS/dt = -4cm^2/min

the negative sign indicates the surface area is decreasing.

Radius = d/2 where d represents diameter

using this is the surface area equation

S = 4*pi*(d/2)^2

   = pi*d^2

dS/dt = 2*pi*d*d(d)/dt

4 = 2*pi*d*(d)/dt

d(d)/dt = 2/12*pi= \frac{1}{6pi} cm/min

so the rate of change of the diameter is equal to 0.053cm/min

gregori [183]

Answer:

a) 48.80% probability that his travel time to work is less than 30 minutes

b) The mean is 30.7 minutes and the standard deviation is of 3.83 minutes.

c) 13.13% probability that in a random sample of 36 NJ workers commuting to work, the mean travel time to work is above 35 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

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

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using 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.

In this question, we have that:

\mu = 30.7, \sigma = 23

a. If a worker is selected at random, what is the probability that his travel time to work is less than 30 minutes?

This is the pvlaue of Z when X = 30. So

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

Z = \frac{30 - 30.7}{23}

Z = -0.03

Z = -0.03 has a pvalue of 0.4880.

48.80% probability that his travel time to work is less than 30 minutes

b. Specify the mean and the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the sample means, for samples of size 36.

n = 36

Applying the Central Limit Theorem, the mean is 30.7 minutes and the standard deviation is s = \frac{23}{\sqrt{36}} = 3.83

c. What is the probability that in a random sample of 36 NJ workers commuting to work, the mean travel time to work is above 35 minutes?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 35. So

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

Z = \frac{35 - 30.7}{3.83}

Z = 1.12

Z = 1.12 has a pvalue of 0.8687

1 - 0.8687 = 0.1313

13.13% probability that in a random sample of 36 NJ workers commuting to work, the mean travel time to work is above 35 minutes

A student wanted to construct a 95% confidence interval for the mean age of students in her statistics class. She randomly selec
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

19.1-3.355\frac{1.5}{\sqrt{9}}=17.42    

19.1+3.355\frac{1.5}{\sqrt{9}}=20.78    

And the best option would be:

C. [17.42,20.78]

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

\bar X=19.1 represent the sample mean

\mu population mean (variable of interest)

s=1.5 represent the sample standard deviation

n=9 represent the sample size  

Solution to the problem

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}   (1)

In order to calculate the critical value t_{\alpha/2} we need to find first the degrees of freedom, given by:

df=n-1=9-1=8

Since the Confidence is 0.99 or 99%, the value of \alpha=0.01 and \alpha/2 =0.005, and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-T.INV(0.005,8)".And we see that t_{\alpha/2}=

Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1):

19.1-3.355\frac{1.5}{\sqrt{9}}=17.42    

19.1+3.355\frac{1.5}{\sqrt{9}}=20.78    

And the best option would be:

C. [17.42,20.78]

Use the information giving in the figure to find the length FH. If applicable, round your answer to the nearest whole number.
Dimas [21]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  FH = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

ΔGHE is a 5-12-13 triangle.

ΔEHF is a 3-4-5 triangle with a scale factor of 4, so side FH is 4·4 = 16 units.

_____

(3, 4, 5), (5, 12, 13), (7, 24, 25), (8, 15, 17) are all commonly used Pythagorean triples. The first two on the list are used in these triangles.

If you like, you can work out the numbers using the Pythagorean theorem, which tells you the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

For ΔEHG, that is ...

  GE² = EH² + HG²

  13² = EH² + 5²

  EH² = 13² -5² = 169 -25 = 144

And for ΔEHF, ...

  FE² = EH² +HF²

  20² = 144 + HF²

  400 -144 = HF² = 256

  HF = √256 = 16

The length of side FH is 16 units.
