Suppose that the walking step lengths of adult males are normally distributed with a mean of 2.5 feet and a standard deviation of 0.4 feet. A sample of 45 men’s step lengths is taken. Step 1 of 2 : Find the probability that an individual man’s step length is less than 1.9 feet. Round your answer to 4 decimal places, if necessary.
Answer:
0.0668 = 6.68% probability that an individual man’s step length is less than 1.9 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
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.
Normally distributed with a mean of 2.5 feet and a standard deviation of 0.4 feet.
This means that [tex]\mu = 2.5, \sigma = 0.4[/tex]
Find the probability that an individual man’s step length is less than 1.9 feet.
This is the p-value of Z when X = 1.9. So
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{1.9 - 2.5}{0.4}[/tex]
[tex]Z = -1.5[/tex]
[tex]Z = -1.5[/tex] has a p-value of 0.0668
0.0668 = 6.68% probability that an individual man’s step length is less than 1.9 feet.

Answer:
[tex]\begin{array}{cc}{Class}& {Frequency} & 138 - 202 & 14 & 203 - 267 & 5 & 268 - 332 & 3 & 333 - 397 & 1 & 398 - 462 & 3 \ \end{array}[/tex]
The class with the greatest is 138- 202 and the class with the least relative frequency is 333 - 397
Step-by-step explanation:
Solving (a): The frequency distribution
Given that:
[tex]Lowest = 138[/tex] --- i.e. the lowest class value
[tex]Class = 5[/tex] --- Number of classes
From the given dataset is:
[tex]Highest = 459[/tex]
So, the range is:
[tex]Range = Highest - Lowest[/tex]
[tex]Range = 459 - 138[/tex]
[tex]Range = 321[/tex]
Divide by the number of class (5) to get the class width
[tex]Width = 321 \div 5[/tex]
[tex]Width = 64.2[/tex]
Approximate
[tex]Width = 64[/tex]
So, we have a class width of 64 in each class;
The frequency table is as follows:
[tex]\begin{array}{cc}{Class}& {Frequency} & 138 - 202 & 14 & 203 - 267 & 5 & 268 - 332 & 3 & 333 - 397 & 1 & 398 - 462 & 3 \ \end{array}[/tex]
Solving (b) The relative frequency histogram
First, we calculate the relative frequency by dividing the frequency of each class by the total frequency
So, we have:
[tex]\begin{array}{ccc}{Class}& {Frequency} & {Relative\ Frequency} & 138 - 202 & 14 & 0.53 & 203 - 267 & 5 & 0.19 & 268 - 332 & 3 & 0.12 & 333 - 397 & 1 & 0.04 & 398 - 462 & 3 & 0.12 \ \end{array}[/tex]
See attachment for histogram
The class with the greatest is 138- 202 and the class with the least relative frequency is 333 - 397
Allie rode her bike up a hill at an average speed of 12 feet/second. She then rode back down the hill at an average speed of 60 feet/second. The entire trip took her 2 minutes. What is the total distance she traveled. [Hint: use t = time traveling down the hill]
Answer:
The total distance Allie traveled was 0.81 miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since Allie rode her bike up a hill at an average speed of 12 feet / second, and she then rode back down the hill at an average speed of 60 feet / second, and the entire trip took her 2 minutes, to determine what is the total distance she traveled, the following calculation must be performed:
12 + 60 = 72
72 x 60 = 4320
1000 feet = 0.189394 miles
4320 feet = 0.8181818 miles
Therefore, the total distance Allie traveled was 0.81 miles.
Two mechanics worked on a car. The first mechanic worked for 10 hours, and the second mechanic worked for 5 hours. Together they charged a total of $1125. What was the rate charged per hour by each mechanic if the sum of the two rates was $140 per hour?
Answer:
The first mechanic charged $ 85 an hour, and the second mechanic charged $ 55 an hour.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that two mechanics worked on a car, and the first mechanic worked for 10 hours, and the second mechanic worked for 5 hours, and together they charged a total of $ 1125, to determine what was the rate charged per hour by each mechanic if the sum of the two rates was $ 140 per hour, the following calculation must be performed:
1125/15 = X
75 = X
80 x 10 + 60 x 5 = 800 + 300 = 1100
85 x 10 + 55 x 5 = 850 + 275 = 1125
Therefore, the first mechanic charged $ 85 an hour, and the second mechanic charged $ 55 an hour.

Suppose 42% of the population has myopia. If a random sample of size 442 is selected, what is the probability that the proportion of persons with myopia will differ from the population proportion by less than 3%
Answer:
0.7994 = 79.94% probability that the proportion of persons with myopia will differ from the population proportion by less than 3%.
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.
For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean [tex]\mu = p[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}[/tex]
Suppose 42% of the population has myopia.
This means that [tex]p = 0.42[/tex]
Random sample of size 442 is selected
This means that [tex]n = 442[/tex]
Mean and standard deviation:
[tex]\mu = p = 0.42[/tex]
[tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}} = \sqrt{\frac{0.42*0.58}{442}} = 0.0235[/tex]
What is the probability that the proportion of persons with myopia will differ from the population proportion by less than 3%?
Proportion between 0.42 + 0.03 = 0.45 and 0.42 - 0.03 = 0.39, which is the p-value of Z when X = 0.45 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 0.39.
X = 0.45
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
By the Central Limit Theorem
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{0.45 - 0.42}{0.0235}[/tex]
[tex]Z = 1.28[/tex]
[tex]Z = 1.28[/tex] has a p-value of 0.8997
X = 0.39
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{0.39 - 0.42}{0.0235}[/tex]
[tex]Z = -1.28[/tex]
[tex]Z = -1.28[/tex] has a p-value of 0.1003
0.8997 - 0.1003 = 0.7994
0.7994 = 79.94% probability that the proportion of persons with myopia will differ from the population proportion by less than 3%.

Answer:
See explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is incomplete, as the vertices of the triangle are not given.
A general explanation is as follows;
To calculate distance between two points, we use:
[tex]d = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}[/tex]
Take for instance;
[tex]A = (1,4)[/tex]
[tex]B = (3,-2)[/tex]
Distance AB is:
[tex]AB = \sqrt{(1 - 3)^2 + (4 - -2)^2}[/tex]
[tex]AB = \sqrt{(- 2)^2 + (4 +2)^2}[/tex]
[tex]AB = \sqrt{(- 2)^2 + (6)^2}[/tex]
Evaluate the exponents
[tex]AB = \sqrt{4 + 36}[/tex]
[tex]AB = \sqrt{40}[/tex]
[tex]AB = 6.32[/tex]

Before VAT is added, Simon pays 12p per unit of
electricity plus a fixed charge of £87 per year.
How much does Simon pay in VAT if he uses 3000 units of electricity in one year?
er hour
Shane and Space
Simon will pay £18 in VAT for using 3000 units of electricity in one year.
The VAT rate for gas and electric is 5%.
Therefore, Simon will pay VAT on his electricity usage.
Let's calculate Simon's annual electricity cost without VAT:
Cost per unit of electricity = 12p
= £0.12
Number of units used in one year = 3000
Electricity cost without VAT = Cost per unit × Number of units
= £0.12 × 3000
= £360
Now, let's calculate the VAT amount:
VAT rate = 5% = 0.05
VAT amount = Electricity cost without VAT × VAT rate
= £360 × 0.05
= £18
Therefore, Simon will pay £18 in VAT for using 3000 units of electricity in one year.

Suppose triangle ABC is reflected over the x-axis. If the distance between point A and A’ is 14, what is the distance between the x-axis and A’.
1. 7
2. -7
3. 3.5
4. There is not enough information given.
Given:
The triangle ABC is reflected over the x-axis.
The distance between point A and A’ is 14.
To find:
The distance between the x-axis and A’.
Solution:
If a figure is reflected across the x-axis then the corresponding parts are mirror image of each other about the x-axis.
It means the distance between A and x-axis is same as the distance between x-axis and A'.
The distance between point A and A’ is 14.
Let d be the distance between the x-axis and A’. Then,
[tex]d+d=14[/tex]
[tex]2d=14[/tex]
[tex]d=\dfrac{14}{2}[/tex]
[tex]d=7[/tex]

the hypotenuse side, c = 23.1 cmangle A = 41.26 ⁰angle B = 48.74 ⁰Step-by-step explanation:
Given;
first leg of the right triangle, a = 15.21 cm
second leg of the right triangle, b = 17.34 cm
Angle C = 90 ⁰
The missing parameters;
the hypotenuse side = cangle Aangle BUse Pythagoras theorem to calculate the missing side "c", which is the hypotenuse
c² = a² + b²
c² = (15.21)² + (17.34)²
c² = 532.02
c = √532.02
c = 23.1 cm
The missing angle A is calculated as;
[tex]tan(A) = \frac{a}{b} \\\\tan(A) = \frac{15.21}{17.34} \\\\tan(A) = 0.8772 \\\\A = tan^{-1} (0.8772)\\\\A = 41.26^0[/tex]
The missing angle is calculated as;
B = 90⁰ - A
B = 90⁰ - 41.26⁰
B = 48.74⁰

Consider the probability that no less than 37 out of 295 cell phone calls will be disconnected. Choose the best description of the area under the normal curve that would be used to approximate binomial probability.
a. Area to the right of 36.5
b. Area to the right of 37.5
c. Area to the left of 36.5
d. Area to the left of 37.5
e. Area between 36.5 and 37.5
==========================================================
Explanation:
The phrasing "no less than" means the same as "at least".
Saying "at least 37" means 37 is the lowest we can go.
If x is the number of disconnected calls, then [tex]x \ge 37[/tex] and we want to find the probability of this happening (the max being 295).
We could use the binomial distribution to find the answer, but that would require adding 295-37+1 = 259 different values which could get tedious. So we could use the normal approximation to make things relatively straight forward.
Assuming this binomial meets the requirements of the normal approximation, then we'd look under the normal curve for the area to the right of 36.5; which is why the answer is choice A.
Why 36.5 and not 37? This has to do with the continuity correction factor when translating from a discrete distribution (binomial) to a continuous one (normal).
If we used 37, then we'd be missing out on the edge case. So we go a bit beyond 37 to capture 36.5 instead. It's like a fail safe to ensure we do account for that endpoint of 37. It's like adding a buffer or padding.
------------
Side notes:
Choice B would be the answer if we wanted to excluded 37 from the group, ie if we wanted to calculate [tex]P(x > 37)[/tex] instead of [tex]P(x \ge 37)[/tex]. So we're moving in the opposite direction of choice A to avoid that edge case. We go with "right" instead of "left" since this is what the inequality sign says.y + x + z =762500
z : x = 15/9 : 2
y : x = 1 : 3/4

A chemical company makes two brands of antifreeze the first brand contains 65% pure antifreeze and the second brand contains 80% pure antifreeze in order to obtain 60 gallons of a mixture that contains 70% pure antifreeze how many gallons of each brand of antifreeze must be used
Answer:
30 gallons of each brand
Step-by-step explanation:
1 gallon of 60% + 1 gallon of 80% = 2 gallons 70% (60/2 = 30)

During the first part of a 6-hour trip, you travel 240 miles at an average speed of r miles per hour. For the next 72 miles of the trip, you
increase your speed by 10 miles per hour. What were
your two average speeds?
9514 1404 393
Answer:
50 mph for 4.8 hours60 mph for 1.2 hoursStep-by-step explanation:
One way to write the relationship between time, speed, and distance is ...
time = distance/speed
For the first part of the trip, the time is ...
t1 = 240/r
For the second part of the trip, the time is ...
t2 = 72/(r+10)
The total time is 6 hours, so we have ...
t1 +t2 = 6
240/r +72/(r+10) = 6
We can simplify this a bit by multiplying by (r)(r+10)/6 to get ...
40(r+10) +12(r) = r(r+10)
r² -42r -400 = 0 . . . . . . . . subtract the left side and collect terms
(r -50)(r +8) = 0 . . . . . . . . factor
r = 50 . . . . . the positive solution of interest.
The two average speeds were 50 mph and 60 mph.
Please help me in this question
Answer:
3/8
Step-by-step explanation:
the total number of possible results is 4×4=16.
out of these 16 only the results
1 2
1 3
1 4
2 2
2 3
3 2
are desired results. these are 6.
so the probability of a desired result is 6/16 = 3/8
