Engineers are designing a large elevator that will accommodate 44 people. The maximum weight the elevator can hold safely is 8228 pounds. According to the National Health Statistics Reports, the weights of adult U.S. men have mean 186 pounds and standard deviation 60 pounds, and the weights of adult U.S. women have mean 157 pounds and standard deviation 69 pounds.
a. If 44 people are on the elevator, and their total weight is 8228 pounds, what is their average weight?
b. If a random sample of 44 adult men ride the elevator, what is the probability that the maximum safe weight will be exceeded?
c. If a random sample of 44 adult women ride the elevator, what is the probability that the maximum safe weight will be exceeded?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) Their average weight is of 187 pounds.

b) 0.4562 = 45.62% probability that the maximum safe weight will be exceeded.

c) 0.002 = 0.2% probability that the maximum safe weight will be exceeded

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 normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set 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]

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 p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

a. If 44 people are on the elevator, and their total weight is 8228 pounds, what is their average weight?

8228/44 = 187

Their average weight is of 187 pounds.

b. If a random sample of 44 adult men ride the elevator, what is the probability that the maximum safe weight will be exceeded?

For men, we have that [tex]\mu = 186, \sigma = 60[/tex]

Sample of 44 means that [tex]n = 44, s = \frac{60}{\sqrt{44}}[/tex]

This probability is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 187. So

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

[tex]Z = \frac{187 - 186}{\frac{60}{\sqrt{44}}}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.11[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.11[/tex] has a p-value of 0.5438.

1 - 0.5438 = 0.4562

0.4562 = 45.62% probability that the maximum safe weight will be exceeded.

c. If a random sample of 44 adult women ride the elevator, what is the probability that the maximum safe weight will be exceeded?

For women, we have that [tex]\mu = 157, \sigma = 69[/tex]

Sample of 44 means that [tex]n = 44, s = \frac{69}{\sqrt{44}}[/tex]

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

[tex]Z = \frac{187 - 157}{\frac{69}{\sqrt{44}}}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2.88[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2.88[/tex] has a p-value of 0.998.

1 - 0.998 = 0.002.

0.002 = 0.2% probability that the maximum safe weight will be exceeded

For the equation y=log(x-k), the domain depends on the value of K. Sliding K moves the left bound of the domain interval. The range and the right end behavior stay the same. For the equation y=log x+k, the domain is fixed, starting at an x-value of 0. The vertical asymptote is also fixed. The range of the equation depends on K.

he following chart reports the number of cell phones sold at a big-box retail store for the last 26 days. a. What are the maximum and the minimum numbers of cell phones sold in a day? b. Using the median, what is the typical number of cell phones sold?

Answers

Answer:

Maximum = 19

Minimum = 4

Median = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The maximum number of phone sold per day is the value to the right of the horizontal axis as the values are arranged in ascending order ; Hence, the maximum number of phones sold per day is 19

Also, the minimum number of phones sold per day is the value to the left of the plot, Hence, minimum number of phones sold per day is 14.

The Median value : 4, 9, 14, 19

The median = 1/2(n+1)th term

1/2(5)th term = 2.5 th term

Median (9 + 14) /2 = 13 /2 = 11.5 = 12 phones

Answers

Answer:

See answers below

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following functions:

r(x) = x - 6

s(x) = 2x²

r(s(x)) = r(2x²)

Replacing x with 2x² in r(x) will give;

r(2x²) = 2x² - 6

r(s(x)) = 2x² - 6

(r-s)(x) = r(x) - s(x)

(r-s)(x) = x - 6 - 2x²

Rearrange

(r-s)(x) = - 2x²+x-6

(r+s)(x) = r(x) + s(x)

(r-s)(x) = x - 6 + 2x²

Rearrange

(r-s)(x) = 2x²+x-6
