3.6 Triathlon times, Part II: The distribution for triathlon time varies depending on the population you are describing. The distribution for men ages 30 - 34 is N(μ=4378, σ=565). The distribution for women ages 25 - 29 is N(μ=5212, σ=849). Note, these distributions list the triathlon times in seconds. Use this information to compute each of the following. Report your answer to 2 decimal places.
a) The cutoff time for the fastest 5% of athletes in the men's group, i.e. those who took the shortest 5% of time to finish.
b) The cutoff time for the slowest 10% of athletes in the women's group.

Answers

Answer 1

Using the normal distribution, it is found that:

a) The cutoff time for the fastest 5% of athletes in the men's group is of 3448.58.

b) The cutoff time for the slowest 10% of athletes in the women's group is of 6298.72.

Normal Probability Distribution

In a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

It 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.

Item a:

For men, we have that [tex]\mu = 4378, \sigma = 565[/tex].

The cutoff for the fastest 5% of the athletes is the 5th percentile, which is X when Z has a p-value of 0.05, that is, X when Z = -1.645.

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]-1.645 = \frac{X - 4378}{565}[/tex]

[tex]X - 4378 = -1.645(565)[/tex]

[tex]X = 3448.58[/tex]

The cutoff time for the fastest 5% of athletes in the men's group is of 3448.58.

Item b:

For women, we have that [tex]\mu = 5212, \sigma = 849[/tex].

The cutoff is the 90th percentile, which is X when Z = 1.28, hence:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]1.28 = \frac{X - 5212}{849}[/tex]

[tex]X - 5212 = 1.28(849)[/tex]

[tex]X = 6298.72[/tex]

The cutoff time for the slowest 10% of athletes in the women's group is of 6298.72.

A crate is 3/4 yard long and 2/3 yard wide. The crate is also 2 feet tall. What is the area of the top of the crate?

Answers

Answer:

1/2 or 6/12

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the area of the crate's top, multiply the length and width together. Should not multiply the height by anything because it simply measures the height of the box and not the length or breadth of any of its bases (the top and bottom of the box). When you multiply the length by 3/4 and the breadth by 2/3, you should obtain 6/12, or 1/2 yard squared, as your answer for the area of the crate's top.

Do not round any intermediate computations, and round your final answers to the nearest cent. If necessary, refer to the list of financial formulas х 5 ? (a) Assuming no withdrawals are made, how much money is in Lashonda's account after 2 years? ​

Answers

Answer:

≈$3478.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the compound interest formula:

[tex]A = P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}[/tex]

A = Total

P = Principle
r = Interest Rate

n = No. of times applied in each time period

t = No. of periods

In this case,

P = 3400

r = 1.14% = 0.0114

n = 12 (months)

t = 2 (years)

Hence,

[tex]A = 3400(1+\frac{0.0115}{12})^{12*2}[/tex]

[tex]A = 3478.372836......[/tex]

A ≈ 3478.4 (nearest cent)

A rancher uses a bucket that holds 15,000 milliliters of water to fill a water trough for her horse. The trough holds 2.7 x 10^5 milliliters of water. How many buckets of water will the rancher need to fill the trough?

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

the volume of the bucket is

15,000 = 1.5 × 10⁴ ml

the trough holds

2.7 × 10⁵ ml

by calculating how often the volume of the bucket fits into the volume of the trough, we will know how many buckets of water are needed :

2.7 × 10⁵ / (1.5 × 10⁴) = 2.7/1.5 × 10⁵/10⁴ = 2.7/1.5 × 10¹ =

= 27/1.5 = 18

the rancher needs 18 buckets of water to fill the trough.

Prove that!

Recall that if |x| < 1, then

So if |a + bxᵐ| < 1, then

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{a+bx^m}{1 - (a+bx^m)} = \sum_{q=1}^\infty (a+bx^m)^q = \sum_{q=1}^\infty a^q \left(1 + \frac{bx^m}a\right)^q[/tex]

By the binomial theorem,

[tex]\displaystyle \left(1 + \frac{bx^m}a\right)^q = \sum_{r=0}^q \binom qr \left(\frac{bx^m}a\right)^r[/tex]

The binomial coefficient is defined as

[tex]\dbinom nk = \dfrac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}[/tex]

if 0 ≤ k ≤ n, and 0 otherwise. Then we can rewrite the sum as

and pulling out the first term,

The sample had a mean completion time of 64 minutes and a standard deviation of 11 minutes. Assume that the population of completion times under new management is normally distributed. At the 0.05 level of significance, can it be concluded that the mean completion time ,u, under new management is less than the scheduled mean?

After sitting out of a refrigerator for a while, a turkey at room temperature (72°F) is
placed into an oven. The oven temperature is 305°F. Newton's Law of Heating
explains that the temperature of the turkey will increase proportionally to the
difference between the temperature of the turkey and the temperature of the oven, as
given by the formula below:
T = T. + (T. – T.)e-kt
To = the temperature surrounding the object
To = the initial temperature of the object
t the time in hours
T = the temperature of the object after t hours
k = decay constant
The turkey reaches the temperature of 123°F after 2 hours. Using this information,
find the value of k, to the nearest thousandth. Use the resulting equation to
determine the Fahrenheit temperature of the turkey, to the nearest degree, after 4.5
hours.
Enter only the final temperature into the input box.

Answers

Answer:

  156 °F

Step-by-step explanation:

Newton's Law of Heating results in the exponential function you show in your problem statement. We can use the given starting and "in-progress" temperatures and times to solve for the value of the factor "k" in the exponential function.

  [tex]T(t)=T_\infty+(T_0-T_\infty)e^{-kt}\\\\T(2.5)=123=305+(72-305)e^{-k\cdot2.5}\qquad\text{substitute given temps and times}\\\\\dfrac{123-305}{72-305}=e^{-2.5k}=\dfrac{182}{233}\qquad\text{subtract 305, divide by $(72-305)$}\\\\k=\dfrac{-1}{2.5}\ln\dfrac{182}{233}\approx0.0988127\approx0.099\qquad\text{rounded to 3 places}[/tex]

Then the temperature after 4.5 hours is ...

  T(4.5) = 305 -233e^(-0.099·4.5) ≈ 156 . . . . °F

_____

Additional comment

It will take about 6.3 hours for the turkey temperature to reach 180 °F.

A = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] h (b₁ + b₂ )

where h is the perpendicular height between bases and b₁, b₂ are bases

here h = 3, b₁ = 3 , b₂ = 7 , then
