Supposing a normal distribution, we find that:

The diameter of the smallest tree that is an outlier is of 16.36 inches.

--------------------------------

We suppose that tree diameters are normally distributed with <u>mean 8.8 inches and standard deviation 2.8 inches.</u>

<u />

In a normal distribution 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, which is the percentile of X.<u> </u>

<u />

In this problem:

  • Mean of 8.8 inches, thus \mu = 8.8.
  • Standard deviation of 2.8 inches, thus \sigma = 2.8.

<u />

The interquartile range(IQR) is the difference between the 75th and the 25th percentile.

<u />

25th percentile:

  • X when Z has a p-value of 0.25, so X when Z = -0.675.

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

-0.675 = \frac{X - 8.8}{2.8}

X - 8.8 = -0.675(2.8)

X = 6.91

75th percentile:

  • X when Z has a p-value of 0.75, so X when Z = 0.675.

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

0.675 = \frac{X - 8.8}{2.8}

X - 8.8 = 0.675(2.8)

X = 10.69

The IQR is:

IQR = 10.69 - 6.91 = 3.78

What is the diameter, in inches, of the smallest tree that is an outlier?

  • The diameter is <u>1.5IQR above the 75th percentile</u>, thus:

10.69 + 1.5(3.78) = 16.36

The diameter of the smallest tree that is an outlier is of 16.36 inches.

Which is the equation of the line with slope 3 that contains point (-1, 5)?

\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{-1}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{5})~\hspace{10em} slope = m\implies 3 \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-5=3[x-(-1)] \\\\\\ y-5=3(x+1)\implies y-5=3x+3\implies y=3x+8

Determine the direction that is parabola opens: y = -5x^2 -10x -13
Lunna [17]
The parabola opens down, since the 'a' value of the equation is a negative value.

Please help 8th time posting
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

Graham: -50x + 14,040

Max:  20x + 12,500

  Graham = Max

-50x + 14,040 = 20x + 12,500

   +50x +50x              

       14,040 = 70x + 12,500

          -12,500-12.500

            1,540  = 70x

               220 = x

Answer: 220 minutes (3 hours 40 minutes)

Y = 2x + 4<br> 6x – 3y = -12<br> System by substitution 10 points
Burka [1]

Answer:

(-2, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 2x+4

6x - 3y = -12

Start by simplifying the second equation by dividing everything by 3 (this will make the math easier)...

2x - y = -4

Then, substitute 2x+4 for y into the second equation (this is because y = 2x+4)...

2x-3(2x+4)=-4

Distribute the -3

2x-3(2x)-3(4)=-4

2x-6x-12=-4

Combine like terms

-4x-12=-4

Add 12 to both sides

-4x-12+12=-4+12

-4x=8

Divide both sides by -4

x=-2

Plug -2 back in for x to solve for y:

y = 2(-2) + 4

y=-4+4

y=0

(x, y) = (-2, 0)
