According to the World Health Organization (WHO) Child Growth Standards, the head circumference for boys at birth is normally di

Elena L [17]

Answer:

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

This z score tell to us how many deviations we are below or above the mean for a given normal distribution.

For the case of Eddie we got:

$z= \frac{33.2-34.5}{1.3}= -1$

And for the case of Sue we got:

$z = \frac{32.7-33.9}{1.2}= -1$

So then for both cases we see that Eddie and Sue are 1 deviation below the true mean for each gender so then the best conclusion for this case would be:

C.They are the same size relative to other children of the same sex.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can define the random variable X as the head circumference for boys at birth and we know that the distribution for X is given by:

$X\sim N(\mu = 34.5, \sigma=1.3)$

Similarly we can define the random variable Y as the head circumference for boys at birth and we know that the distribution for Y is given by:

$Y\sim N(\mu = 33.9, \sigma=1.2)$

And we know that Eddie was born with 33.2 cm and Sue with 32.7 cm for the head circumference . Since we are interested to determine which child's head circumference is smaller relative to other children of the same sex, we can use the z score formula given by this formula:

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

This z score tell to us how many deviations we are below or above the mean for a given normal distribution.

For the case of Eddie we got:

$z= \frac{33.2-34.5}{1.3}= -1$

And for the case of Sue we got:

$z = \frac{32.7-33.9}{1.2}= -1$

So then for both cases we see that Eddie and Sue are 1 deviation below the true mean for each gender so then the best conclusion for this case would be:

C.They are the same size relative to other children of the same sex.

Foggy Optics, Inc., makes laboratory microscopes. Setting up each production run costs $2500. Insurance costs, based on the aver

Ray Of Light [21]

Answer: 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let N be the total number of runs.

The microscopes per year will be equal to the total number of runs * microscopes per run

total number of microscopes = total number of runs * microscopes per run

now we have each run to cost 2500, therefore:

run costs = 2500 * total runs = 2500*N

we also have insurance and storage costs (note the average thats why we divide by 2):

storage costs = 20* microscopes per run /2 = 20*N/2

insurance costs = 15 * microscopes per run = 15*N

the costs are:

costs = run costs + storage + insurance

now the comany sells 1600 microscopes a year, so in order to figure out the number of microscopes per run we divide 1600 by the total number of runs N and replace in the costs

costs = 2500N + 40000/N => C(N) = 2500N + 40000/N

now derivate the function with respect to N and equal to 0:

$\frac{d}{dN}(2500N + 40000/N) = 2500(1-16/N^2) \\\\ 2500(1-16/N^2) = 0\\$

this gives you two solutions, N = -4 which is not eligible (you cant make negative microscopes lol) and N = 4 which is the answer

have a nice day
