Does the choice of the base affect the perimeter of a triangle?

forsale [732]

No.
The perimeter is the distance all the way around the triangle.
So it's the sum of the lengths of the three sides.

The sum of three numbers doesn't depend on what order you
add them ... I think that's the 'commutative' property of addition.

So it doesn't matter which side you start with, or even what order
the sides are arranged in. The perimeter is always the same.

In the following problem, check that it is appropriate to use the normal approximation to the binomial. Then use the normal dist

frosja888 [35]

Answer:

a) 0.9920 = 99.20% probability that 15 or more will live beyond their 90th birthday

b) 0.2946 = 29.46% probability that 30 or more will live beyond their 90th birthday

c) 0.6273 = 62.73% probability that between 25 and 35 will live beyond their 90th birthday

d) 0.0034 = 0.34% probability that more than 40 will live beyond their 90th birthday

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve this question using the normal approximation to the binomial distribution.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

$E(X) = np$

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

$\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}$

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed distributions can be 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.

When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that $\mu = E(X)$ , $\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}$ .

In this problem, we have that:

Sample of 723, 3.7% will live past their 90th birthday.

This means that $n = 723, p = 0.037$ .

So for the approximation, we will have:

$\mu = E(X) = np = 723*0.037 = 26.751$

$\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{723*0.037*0.963} = 5.08$

(a) 15 or more will live beyond their 90th birthday

This is, using continuity correction, $P(X \geq 15 - 0.5) = P(X \geq 14.5)$ , which is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 14.5. So

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

$Z = \frac{14.5 - 26.751}{5.08}$

$Z = -2.41$

$Z = -2.41$ has a pvalue of 0.0080

1 - 0.0080 = 0.9920

0.9920 = 99.20% probability that 15 or more will live beyond their 90th birthday

(b) 30 or more will live beyond their 90th birthday

This is, using continuity correction, $P(X \geq 30 - 0.5) = P(X \geq 29.5)$ , which is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 29.5. So

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

$Z = \frac{29.5 - 26.751}{5.08}$

$Z = 0.54$

$Z = 0.54$ has a pvalue of 0.7054

1 - 0.7054 = 0.2946

0.2946 = 29.46% probability that 30 or more will live beyond their 90th birthday

(c) between 25 and 35 will live beyond their 90th birthday

This is, using continuity correction, $P(25 - 0.5 \leq X \leq 35 + 0.5) = P(X 24.5 \leq X \leq 35.5)$ , which is the pvalue of Z when X = 35.5 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 24.5. So

X = 35.5

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

$Z = \frac{35.5 - 26.751}{5.08}$

$Z = 1.72$

$Z = 1.72$ has a pvalue of 0.9573

X = 24.5

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

$Z = \frac{24.5 - 26.751}{5.08}$

$Z = -0.44$

$Z = -0.44$ has a pvalue of 0.3300

0.9573 - 0.3300 = 0.6273

0.6273 = 62.73% probability that between 25 and 35 will live beyond their 90th birthday.

(d) more than 40 will live beyond their 90th birthday

This is, using continuity correction, P(X > 40+0.5) = P(X > 40.5), which is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 40.5. So

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

$Z = \frac{40.5 - 26.751}{5.08}$

$Z = 2.71$

$Z = 2.71$ has a pvalue of 0.9966

1 - 0.9966 = 0.0034

0.0034 = 0.34% probability that more than 40 will live beyond their 90th birthday

Maile is walking around a circular track. if the radius is 100m, how far did she walk if she is 1/3 the way around

Stolb23 [73]

The full length of the circumference is
C = 2πr
C = 2π*100 m ≈ 628.32 m

1/3 that distance is (628.32 m)/3 ≈ 209.44 m

Maile walked about 209.4 m.
