Answer:
Please find attached sketch of the path of the ball, having plot area and plot points, created with MS Excel
Step-by-step explanation:
Question;
The equation representing the path of the ball obtained from a similar question posted online are;
h₁ = -4·(t + 1)·(t - 5), h₂ = -4·(t - 2)² + 36, h₃ = -4··t² + 16·t + 20
The above equations represent the same path
The equation, h₁ = -4·(t + 1)·(t - 5), gives the roots of the height function, h(t), used in determining the height of the ball after time <em>t</em>
At (t + 1) = 0 (t = -1) or at (t - 5) = 0 (t = 5), the ball is at ground level
The ball reaches the ground, is at ground level at t = 1, and at t = 5 seconds after being tossed, where h(t) = 0
The equation of the path of the ball in vertex form, y = a·(x - 2)² + k, is h₂ = -4·(t - 2)² + 36, where, by comparison, we have;
The vertex of the ball = The maximum height reached by the ball = (h, k) = (2, 36)
The coefficient of the quadratic term, t², is negative, therefore, the shape of the parabola is upside down, ∩, shape
The sketch of the path of the ball created with MS Excel, used in plotting the vertex, the initial value and the root points of the parabola, through which the ball passes and joining of the points with a 'smooth' curve is attached
Answer:
Probability that the average time spent studying for the sample was between 29 and 30 hours studying is 0.0321.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that the number of hours spent studying the week before final exams was normally distributed with mean 25 and standard deviation 15.
A sample of 36 students was selected.
<em>Let </em><em> = sample average time spent studying</em>
The z-score probability distribution for sample mean is given by;
Z = ~ N(0,1)
where, = population mean hours spent studying = 25 hours
= standard deviation = 15 hours
n = sample of students = 36
The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is away from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value (area) 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.
Now, Probability that the average time spent studying for the sample was between 29 and 30 hours studying is given by = P(29 hours < < 30 hours)
P(29 hours < < 30 hours) = P(
< 30 hours) - P(
29 hours)
P( < 30 hours) = P(
<
) = P(Z < 2) = 0.97725
P(
29 hours) = P(
) = P(Z
1.60) = 0.94520
<em>So, in the z table the P(Z </em><em> x) or P(Z < x) is given. So, the above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 2 and x = 1.60 in the z table which has an area of 0.97725 and 0.94520 respectively.</em>
Therefore, P(29 hours < < 30 hours) = 0.97725 - 0.94520 = 0.0321
Hence, the probability that the average time spent studying for the sample was between 29 and 30 hours studying is 0.0321.
