Question 4

<h3>Answer: Choice D</h3>

Explanation:

If the initial point is the origin, the coordinates of the terminal point form the vector itself in component form. We go from (-8,6) to <-8,6>. The notation change is from ordered pair to vector format.

We have a right triangle with legs of 8 and 6 units. The pythagorean theorem will help us determine the hypotenuse is 10. Therefore, the vector length is 10 units and we would say ||v|| = 10. We have a 6-8-10 right triangle.

Question 5

<h3>Answer: Choice B</h3>

Explanation:

Vector v starts at (2,5) and ends at (-3,-2).

The x component of the vector is x2-x1 = -3-2 = -5 meaning we move 5 units to the left when going from the start point to the endpoint.

At the same time we move 7 units down because y2-y1 = -2-5 = -7 which is the y component of the vector.

The component form of vector v is

v = <-5, -7>

it says "move 5 units left, 7 units down".

Apply the pythagorean theorem to find the length of the vector.

a^2+b^2 = c^2

c = sqrt(a^2 + b^2)

||v|| = sqrt( (-5)^2 + (-7)^2 )

||v|| = 8.602 which is approximate.

Now let's use the arctangent function to find the angle

theta = arctan(b/a)

theta = arctan(-7/(-5))

theta = 54.462 which is also approximate.

There's a problem however. This angle is in Q1 but the vector <-5,-7> is in Q3. An easy fix is to add on 180 to rotate to the proper quadrant.

54.462+180 = 234.462

which is the proper approximate angle for theta.

An Epson inkjet printer ad advertises that the black ink cartridge will provide enough ink for an average of 245 pages. Assume t

Neko [114]

Answer:

35.2% probability that the sample mean will be 246 pages or more

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:

$\mu = 245 \sigma = 15, n = 33, s = \frac{15}{\sqrt{33}} = 2.61$

What the probability that the sample mean will be 246 pages or more?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 246. So

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

$Z = \frac{246 - 245}{2.61}$

$Z = 0.38$

$Z = 0.38$ has a pvalue of 0.6480.

1 - 0.6480 = 0.3520

35.2% probability that the sample mean will be 246 pages or more
