a. What is the approximate percentage of women with platelet counts within standard of the​ mean, or between and ​?
b. What is the approximate percentage of women with platelet counts between and ​?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) Approximately 95% of women with platelet counts within 2 standard deviations of the​ mean.

(b) Approximately 99.7% of women have platelet counts between 65.2 and 431.8.

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is: The blood platelet counts of a group of women have a​ bell-shaped distribution with a mean of 248.5 and a standard deviation of 61.1. ​(All units are 1000 ​cells/mu​l.) using the empirical​ rule, find each approximate percentage below.

a. What is the approximate percentage of women with platelet counts within 2 standard deviations of the​ mean, or between 126.3 and 370.7​?

b. What is the approximate percentage of women with platelet counts between 65.2 and 431.8​?

We are given that the blood platelet counts of a group of women have a​ bell-shaped distribution with a mean of 248.5 and a standard deviation of 61.1.

Let X = the blood platelet counts of a group of women

The z-score probability distribution for the normal distribution is given by;

                             Z  =  [tex]\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]  ~ N(0,1)

where, [tex]\mu[/tex] = population mean = 248.5

            [tex]\sigma[/tex] = standard deviation = 61.1

Now, the empirical rule states that;

68% of the data values lie within 1 standard deviation away from the mean. 95% of the data values lie within 2 standard deviations away from the mean. 99.7% of the data values lie within 3 standard deviations away from the mean.

(a) The approximate percentage of women with platelet counts within 2 standard deviations of the​ mean, or between 126.3 and 370.7 is given by;

As we know that;

P([tex]\mu-2\sigma[/tex] < X < [tex]\mu+2\sigma[/tex]) = 0.95

P(248.5 - 2(61.1) < X < 248.5 + 2(61.1)) = 0.95

P(126.3 < X < 370.7) = 0.95

Hence, approximately 95% of women with platelet counts within 2 standard deviations of the​ mean.

(b) The approximate percentage of women with platelet counts between 65.2 and 431.8​ is given by;

Firstly, we will calculate the z-scores for both the counts;

z-score for 65.2 = [tex]\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

                           = [tex]\frac{65.2-248.5}{61.1}[/tex] = -3

z-score for 431.8 = [tex]\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

                           = [tex]\frac{431.8-248.5}{61.1}[/tex] = 3

This means that approximately 99.7% of women have platelet counts between 65.2 and 431.8.

Answers

I think the answer is B

The equation that has a constant rate of change of 25 is

25x = y

Option B is the correct answer.

What is an equation?

An equation is a mathematical statement that is made up of two expressions connected by an equal sign.

We have,

A)

x + 25 = y

When x = 1, y = 26

When x = 2, y = 27

The constant rate of change.

= (27 - 26)/(2 - 1) = 1/1 = 1

B)

25x = y

When x = 1, y = 25

When x = 2, y = 50

The constant rate of change.

= (50 - 25)/(2 - 1) = 25/1 = 25

C)

x - y = 25

When x = 1, y = -24

When x = 2, y = -23

The constant rate of change.

= (-23 + 24)/(2 - 1) = 1/1 = 1

D)

5x = y

When x = 1, y = 5

When x = 2, y = 10

The constant rate of change.

= (10 - 5)/(2 - 1) = 5/1 = 5

Thus,

The interpretation is

  There is  88% confidence that the true proportion of those that dislike  cilantro lie within the upper(0.200 ) and the lower(0.120) limit of the calculate confidence interval.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The number sample size is n = 200

The number of people that dislike cilantro is k = 32

Generally the sample proportion is mathematically represented as

[tex]\r p = \frac{k}{N}[/tex]

=> [tex]\r p = \frac{32}{200}[/tex]

=> [tex]\r p = 0.16[/tex]

Generally 2SD confidence interval is mathematically represented as

[tex]\r p \pm 2\sqrt{\frac{\r p(1 - \r p)}{n} }[/tex]

substituting value

[tex]0.16 \pm 2\sqrt{\frac{0.16(1 - 0.16)}{200} }[/tex]

=> [tex]0.16 \pm 0.052[/tex]

This can also be represented as

[tex](0.16 - 0.052 , 0.06 + 0.052)[/tex]

=> [tex](0.108 , 0.212 )[/tex]

Generally this confidence interval can be interpreted as

There is 95% confidence that the true proportion of those that dislike cilantro lie within the upper and the lower limit of the calculate confidence interval

Using theory-based method estimate 95% confidence interval

Generally from the question the confidence level is 95% hence the level of significance is calculated as

[tex]\alpha = (100 - 95)\%[/tex]

=> [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex]

The critical value of [tex]\frac{\alpha }{2}[/tex] from the normal distribution table is

[tex]Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = 1.96[/tex]

Generally the confidence level using theory base method is

[tex]0.16 \pm 1.96 \sqrt{\frac{0.16 (1- 0.16)}{200} }[/tex]

=>     [tex]0.16 \pm 0.051[/tex]

This can also be represented as

[tex](0.16 - 0.051 , 0.06 + 0.051)[/tex]

=> [tex](0.109 , 0.211 )[/tex]

Generally this confidence interval can be interpreted as

There is 95% confidence that the true proportion of those that dislike cilantro lie within the upper(0.211) and the lower(0.109) limit of the calculate confidence interval

Using theory-based method estimate 88% confidence interval

Generally from the question the confidence level is 95% hence the level of significance is calculated as

[tex]\alpha = (100 - 88)\%[/tex]

=> [tex]\alpha = 0.12[/tex]

The critical value of [tex]\frac{\alpha }{2}[/tex] from the normal distribution table is

[tex]Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } =Z_{\frac{0.12 }{2} } = 1.55[/tex]

Generally the confidence level using theory base method is

[tex]0.16 \pm 1.55 \sqrt{\frac{0.16 (1- 0.16)}{200} }[/tex]

=>     [tex]0.16 \pm 0.040[/tex]

This can also be represented as

[tex](0.16 - 0.040 , 0.06 + 0.040)[/tex]

=> [tex](0.120 , 0.200 )[/tex]

Generally this confidence interval can be interpreted as

There is 88% confidence that the true proportion of those that dislike cilantro lie within the upper(0.200 ) and the lower(0.120) limit of the calculate confidence interval

Answers

Answer: MAD= 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the mean of the data set

31+24+32+28+29+36/6= 30

subtract EACH data by the mean, find the absolute value of the answer

31-30= 1 (absolute value)

24-30= 6 (absolute value)

32-30= 2 (absolute value)

28-30= 2 (absolute value)

29-30= 1 (absolute value)

36-30= 6 (absolute value)

Now find the mean of the values

1+6+2+2+1+6/6=3

B y = 40+ 3x
C y= 3 + 40x
D y=4 + 30x
IM IN A HURRY

Answers

So 40 is the flat cost. 40 is not dependent on the amount of movies so it would be the y intercept. Well that cancels out everything except B.
Each move is 3 dollars so for 1 movie it’s $43, for 2 it’s $46, etc.
That further makes B the right answer

Answers

Answer:

(about) 11.18034

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the distance formula to find the distance:

d = sqr (x2 - x1) + (y2 - y1)

Fill in the variables with what you know:

d = sqr ((6 - (-4)) + (2 - (-3)))

(Honestly it doesn't matter what order you put the x and y, as long as x2 and y2 make up the coordinates of one point and x1 and y1 make up the coordinates of the other)

 = sqr ((6 + 4)^2 + (2 +3)^2)

 = sqr ((10)^2 + (5)^2)

 = sqr (100 + 25)

 = sqr (125)

 = (about) 11.1803

find all the points (x,6) that are 10 units from the point P (-17,-2)

Answers

Answer:

The points that are 10 units from P(-17,-2) are (-23,6) and (-11,6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance Between Points in the Plane

Given two points A(x,y) and B(w,z), the distance between them is:

[tex]d=\sqrt{(z-y)^2+(w-x)^2}[/tex]

It can be also expressed as:

[tex]d^2=(z-y)^2+(w-x)^2[/tex]

Substituting the values of both points, and knowing the distance is 10:

[tex]10^2=(6-(-2))^2+(x+17)^2[/tex]

[tex]100=8^2+(x+17)^2[/tex]

Swapping both sides:

[tex]64+(x+17)^2=100[/tex]

Moving the constants to the right side:

[tex](x+17)^2=100-64=36[/tex]

Taking the square root:

[tex]x+17=\pm 6[/tex]

We get two possible answers:

[tex]x=-17-6=-23[/tex]

[tex]x=-17+6=-11[/tex]

Thus the points that are 10 units from the point P(-17,-2) are (-23,6) and (-11,6)

A plane directly above Denver, Colorado, (altitude 1650 meters) flies to Bismark, North Dakota (altitude 550 meters). It travels at 625 km/hour at a constant height of 7500 meters above the line joining Denver and Bismark. Bismark is about 850 km in the direction 60∘ north of east from Denver. Find parametric equations describing the plane's motion. Assume the origin is at sea level beneath Denver, that the x-axis points east and the y-axis points north, and that the earth is flat. Measure distances in kilometers and time in hours.

Answers

The final parametric equations describing the plane's motion are:

x(t) = 0 + (425 km - 0) * t = 425t

y(t) = 0 + (736.6 km - 0) * t = 736.6t

z(t) = 1650 meters

where t varies from 0 to 1.36 hours.

Let's set up a coordinate system with the origin at sea level beneath Denver.

We'll use the x-axis to point east, the y-axis to point north, and the z-axis to point upward.

The plane starts directly above Denver at an altitude of 1650 meters.

We can represent this as the initial point P₀(0, 0, 1650).

The plane then flies to Bismark, which is about 850 km in the direction 60° north of east from Denver.

Let's represent the position of Bismark as the point P₁(x, y, z), where x and y are the horizontal displacements (east and north, respectively), and z is the altitude above sea level.

Since the plane flies at a constant height of 7500 meters above the line joining Denver and Bismark, the altitude z remains constant at 7500 meters.

Let's calculate the horizontal displacements x and y:

The eastward displacement x can be found using the cosine of the angle (60°) and the distance to Bismark (850 km):

x = 850 km * cos(60°) ≈ 425 km

The northward displacement y can be found using the sine of the angle (60°) and the distance to Bismark (850 km):

y = 850 km * sin(60°) ≈ 736.6 km

Now, we can write the parametric equations for the plane's motion:

x(t) = x₀ + (x₁ - x₀) * t

y(t) = y₀ + (y₁ - y₀) * t

z(t) = z

where:

x₀ = 0 (initial x-coordinate at Denver)

y₀ = 0 (initial y-coordinate at Denver)

z = 1650 meters (altitude above sea level at Denver)

x₁ = 425 km (x-coordinate at Bismark)

y₁ = 736.6 km (y-coordinate at Bismark)

The parameter t represents the time in hours.

The plane's motion is constant, so t will vary from 0 to the time it takes to travel from Denver to Bismark at a speed of 625 km/hour.

To find the time it takes, we can use the distance formula:

Distance = Speed * Time

850 km = 625 km/hour * Time

Time = 850 km / 625 km/hour ≈ 1.36 hours

A plane directly above Denver, Colorado, (altitude 1650 meters) flies to Bismark, North Dakota (altitude 550 meters).

It travels at 625 km/hour at a constant height of 7500 meters above the line joining Denver and Bismark. Bismark is about 850 km in the direction 60∘ north of east from Denver.

Assume the origin is at sea level beneath Denver, that the x-axis points east and the y-axis points north, and that the earth is flat. Measure distances in kilometers and time in hours.

So, the time it takes for the plane to travel from Denver to Bismark is approximately 1.36 hours.

The final parametric equations describing the plane's motion are:

x(t) = 0 + (425 km - 0) * t = 425t

y(t) = 0 + (736.6 km - 0) * t = 736.6t

z(t) = 1650 meters

where t varies from 0 to 1.36 hours.
