Assume that the finishing times in a New York City 10-kilometer road race are normally distributed with a mean of 55 minutes and a standard deviation of 10 minutes. Let X be a randomly selected finishing time.

a. What percent of finish times was higher than 72 minutes? (Give your answers rounded to two decimal places)

b. What percent of finish times was between 52 and 70 minutes? (Give your answers rounded to two decimal places)

c. What is the 40th percentile finish time? (Round your answer to nearest tenth)

d. What is the 95th percentile finish time? (Round your answer to nearest tenth)

Answers

Answer 1

Using the normal distribution, it is found that:

a) 4.46% of finish times was higher than 72 minutes.

b) 55.11% of finish times was between 52 and 70 minutes.

c) The 40th percentile of finish times is 52.5 minutes.

d) The 95th percentile of finish times is 71.45 minutes.

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.

In this problem:

The mean is of 55 minutes, hence [tex]\mu = 55[/tex].The standard deviation is of 10 minutes, hence [tex]\sigma = 10[/tex]

Item a:

The proportion is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 72, hence:

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

[tex]Z = \frac{72 - 55}{10}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.7[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.7[/tex] has a p-value of 0.9554

1 - 0.9554 = 0.0446

0.0446 x 100% = 4.46%

4.46% of finish times was higher than 72 minutes.

Item b:

Th proportion is the p-value of Z when X = 70 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 52, hence:

X = 70:

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

[tex]Z = \frac{70 - 55}{10}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.5[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.5[/tex] has a p-value of 0.9332.

X = 52:

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

[tex]Z = \frac{52 - 55}{10}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.3[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.3[/tex] has a p-value of 0.3821.

0.9332 - 0.3821 = 0.5511

0.5511 x 100% = 55.11%

55.11% of finish times was between 52 and 70 minutes.

Item c:

The 40th percentile is X when Z has a p-value of 0.4, so X when Z = -0.253.

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

[tex]-0.253 = \frac{X - 55}{10}[/tex]

[tex]X - 55 = -0.253(10)[/tex]

[tex]X = 52.5[/tex]

The 40th percentile of finish times is 52.5 minutes.

Item d:

The 95th percentile is X when Z has a p-value of 0.95, so X when Z = 1.645.

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

[tex]1.645 = \frac{X - 55}{10}[/tex]

[tex]X - 55 = 1.645(10)[/tex]

[tex]X = 71.45[/tex]

The 95th percentile of finish times is 71.45 minutes.

In the final exams, 40% of the students failed chemistry, 25% failed physics, and 19% failed both chemistry and physics. What is the probability that a randomly selected student failed physics given that he passed chemistry?

I have answered the question in the image below, but I would like to know if it is correct. If it is not, please include an explanation of why, as well as the step by step to get the correct answer

Answers

Answer:

  10%

Step-by-step explanation:

If 40% failed chemistry then 60% passed chemistry.

If 19% failed both chemistry and physics, and 25% failed physics, then 6% passed chemistry and failed physics.

If we let p' represent failing physics and c represent passing chemistry, then ...

  P(p'|c) = P(p'c)/P(c)

  P(p'|c) = 6%/60% = 0.10 = 10%

If the randomly chosen student passed chemistry, the probability is 10% that he failed physics.

__

Your answer is correct.

To solve this problem, we can use conditional probability.

Let's assume that there were 100 students in the final exam.

According to the problem, 40% of the students failed chemistry, which means that 60% of the students passed chemistry.

We can see that 25% of the students failed physics, and 19% of the students failed both chemistry and physics.

To find the probability that a randomly selected student failed physics given that he passed chemistry, we need to use Bayes' theorem:

[tex]\sf P(Failed\: Physics | Passed\: Chemistry) = \dfrac{P(Failed\: Physics\: and\: Passed\: Chemistry)}{ P(Passed\: Chemistry)}[/tex]

We already know that P(Failed Physics and Passed Chemistry) = 6 students (from the Venn diagram), and P(Passed Chemistry) = 60 students (since 60% of the students passed chemistry).

Therefore,

[tex]\sf P(Failed\: Physics | Passed\: Chemistry) = \dfrac{6}{60} = 0.1\: or\: 10\%[/tex]

So the probability that a randomly selected student failed physics given that he passed chemistry is 10%.

Solve for z.
57 = –10z +7

Answers

Answer:

z = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We are given the equation 57 = -10z + 7, and we want to solve for z

In order to solve an equation for a variable, we want to isolate that variable on one side; in other words, we want just z on one side of the equation.

So that means that we'll need to get rid of everything else that's also on the right side. That starts with subtracting 7 from both sides:

57 = -10z + 7

-7             -7

_____________

50 = -10z

Now on the right side, there aren't any other extra terms, but remember: we want just z (also written as 1z, with the coefficient of 1), not z written with a coefficient of -10

If you divide a number by itself, the result is 1. For example. [tex]\frac{3}{3}[/tex]= 1. So in order to get a coefficient of 1, let's divide both sides by -10

[tex]\frac{50}{-10} = \frac{-10z}{-10}[/tex]

Divide, and cancel:

The zeros cancel out, leaving the equation as:

[tex]\frac{5}{-1} = \frac{-1z}{-1}[/tex]

Dividing a number by -1 is pretty much the same as multiplying a number by -1; it simply changes the sign of the number

So 5/-1 will become -5, while -1z/-1 will become 1z, or z

Hence:

-5 = z, or written the other way: z = -5

We found z.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

brand a is better option why because we have paint and paint roller

If you buy 1 gallon can of paint both brands will cost $30 and brand B paint is a better option because it costs less.

What is the equation?

An equation is a statement that two expressions, which include variables and/or numbers, are equal. In essence, equations are questions, and efforts to systematically find solutions to these questions have been the driving forces behind the creation of mathematics.

Suppose y is the total cost and x is the gallons cases,

The equations according to the given condition are,

y = 27 x + 3

y = 2x +5

The values obtained after solving the above equation will be (1,30). As a result, 1 gallon of paint cost you $ 30.

For condition 2 Juanita needs 15 gallons of paint, x =15

For A, y = 408

For B, y = 380

The brands A and B cost $408 and $380.So the brand costs Juanita more.

Thus, if you buy 1 gallon can of paint both brands will cost $30 and brand B paint is a better option because it costs less.

An indoor track is made up of a rectangular region with two semi-circles at the ends. The distance around the track is 400 meters. What dimensions for the rectangular region maximize the area of the rectangular region?

Answers

Answer:

width of rectangle = 2R = (200/π) = 400/π meters

length of rectangle = 400 - π(200/π) = 400 - 200 = 200 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance around the track (400 m) has two parts:  one is the circumference of the circle and the other is twice the length of the rectangle.

Let L represent the length of the rectangle, and R the radius of one of the circular ends.  Then the length of the track (the distance around it) is:

Total = circumference of the circle + twice the length of the rectangle, or

         =                    2πR                    + 2L    = 400 (meters)  

This equation is a 'constraint.'  It simplifies to πR + L = 400.  This equation can be solved for R if we wish to find L first, or for L if we wish to find R first.  Solving for L, we get L = 400 - πR.

We wish to maximize the area of the rectangular region.  That area is represented by A = L·W, which is equivalent here to A = L·2R = 2RL.  We are to maximize this area by finding the correct R and L values.

We have already solved the constraint equation for L:  L = 400 - πR.  We can substitute this 400 - πR for L in

the area formula given above:    A = L·2R = 2RL = 2R)(400 - πR).  This product has the form of a quadratic:  A = 800R - 2πR².  Because the coefficient of R² is negative, the graph of this parabola opens down.  We need to find the vertex of this parabola to obtain the value of R that maximizes the area of the rectangle:        

                                                                   -b ± √(b² - 4ac)

Using the quadratic formula, we get R = ------------------------

                                                                            2a

                                                   -800 ± √(6400 - 4(0))           -1600

or, in this particular case, R = ------------------------------------- = ---------------

                                                        2(-2π)

            -800

or R = ----------- = 200/π

            -4π

and so L = 400 - πR (see work done above)

These are the dimensions that result in max area of the rectangle:

width of rectangle = 2R = (200/π) = 400/π meters

length of rectangle = 400 - π(200/π) = 400 - 200 = 200 meters

A pennant flag that is 2 inches high with a base of 1.5 inches has an area of 1.5 square inches. The
area of a triangle varies jointly with the base and height. Find the area of a flag whose base
measures 2 inches and height is 2.5 inches.

Answers

Answer:

2.5 sq. inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation is given in the pic attached.

Area of triangle= 1/2* base* height

Hope this helps!

The area of the flag when the base is 2 inches and the height is 2.5 inches is 2.5 square inches

From the question, we understand that the area (A) of the flag varies jointly with the base (B) and the height (H)

This variation is represented as:

[tex]\mathbf{A\ \alpha\ B \times H}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{A\ \alpha\ BH}[/tex]

Express as an equation

[tex]\mathbf{A\ =k BH}[/tex]

When the area is 1.5 square inches, the base is 1.5 inches and the height is 2 inches, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{A\ =k BH}[/tex]

This gives

[tex]\mathbf{1.5\ =k \times 1.5 \times 2}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{1.5\ =k \times 3}[/tex]

Divide both sides by 3

[tex]\mathbf{\frac 12 =k }[/tex]

Rewrite as:

[tex]\mathbf{k = \frac 12}[/tex]

When the base is 2 inches and the height is 2.5 inches, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{A\ =k BH}[/tex]

This gives

[tex]\mathbf{A = \frac 12 \times 2 \times 2.5}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{A = 2.5}[/tex]

Hence, the area of the flag is 2.5 square inches

So, [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] x [tex]\frac{6}{1}[/tex]. We multiply across, so 2 x 6 is 12, and 3 x 1 is 3, which gets us to [tex]\frac{12}{3}[/tex].

Given the definitions of f(x) and g(x) below, find the value of g(f(-3)). f(x) = 5x + 11 g(x) = x2 + 4x – 11 ​

Answers

Answer:

g(f(-3)) = -11

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we evaluate f(-3) and then plug that value into g(x) for x:

f(x) = 5x + 11

f(-3) = 5(-3) + 11 = -15 + 11 = -4

Therefore:

g(f(-3)) = (-4)^2 + 4(-4) - 11 = 16 - 16 - 11 = 0 - 11 = -11

Answer: -11

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the value of g(f(-3)) given the two equations:

f(x) = 5x + 11

g(x) = x² + 4x - 11

Plug -3 into equation f(x).

f(-3) = 5(-3) + 11

Solve for f(x).

-4 = f(-3)

Plug -4 into the equation of g(x).

g(-4) = (-4)² + 4(-4) - 11

Solve for g(x).

g(-4) = (16) + (-16) - 11

g(-4) = -11

The value of g(f(-3)) is -11.

function when t=5. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.
A=

When t=5, f(5)=

Answers

The initial amount is the first number = 1500

Rate of growth is inside the parentheses and is added to 1, the rate of growth is 7.4%

Replace t with 5 and solve

1500(1.074) ^5 = $2143.45

Answer:

The growth rate is 7.4% and the initial amount is 1500. The answer when t=5 is 2143.45.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming this is actually supposed to be written as 1500*(1.074)^t, then this equation follows the standard growth form y = A(1+r)^t where A represents the initial amount, r represents the rate as a decimal, and t represents time. This means that 1500 (A) would be the initial amount, and if you subtract 1 from what's inside the paratheses, you will get the r rate as a decimal. To get this as a percent, simply multiply it by 100, so you will get 7.4% as your growth rate.

To find what the answer would be when t = 5, just plug in 5 for the value of t in the equation.

f(5) = 1500*(1.074^5)

f(5) = 1500*(1.42896)

f(5) = 2143.45
