Paleomagnetic studies of Canadian volcanic rock known as the Carmacks Group have recently been completed. The studies revealed that the northward displacement of the rock units has an approximately normal distribution with a standard deviation of 500 kilometers (Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences, Vol. 27, 1990). One group of researchers estimated the mean displacement at 1,200 kilometers, whereas a second group estimated the mean at 1,000 kilometers.

Required:
a. Assuming the mean is 1500 kilometers, what is the probability of a northward displacement of less than 500 kilometers?
b. Assuming the mean is 1200 kilometers, what is the probability of a northward displacement of less than 500 kilometers?
c. If, in fact, the northward displacement is less than 500 kilometers, which is the more plausible mean, 1200 or 1500 kilometers?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) 0.0228 = 2.28% probability of a northward displacement of less than 500 kilometers

b) 0.0808 = 8.08% probability of a northward displacement of less than 500 kilometers

c) 1200 kilometers, because in this case, the will be a higher probability of a northward displacement that is less than 500 kilometers.

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 zscore 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 pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Standard deviation of 500 kilometers

This means that [tex]\sigma = 500[/tex]

a. Assuming the mean is 1500 kilometers, what is the probability of a northward displacement of less than 500 kilometers?

Mean of 1500 km means that [tex]\mu = 500[/tex]

The probability is the pvalue of Z when X = 500. So

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

[tex]Z = \frac{500 - 1500}{500}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.0228

0.0228 = 2.28% probability of a northward displacement of less than 500 kilometers.

b. Assuming the mean is 1200 kilometers, what is the probability of a northward displacement of less than 500 kilometers?

Now [tex]\mu = 1200[/tex]

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

[tex]Z = \frac{500 - 1200}{500}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.4[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.4[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.0808

0.0808 = 8.08% probability of a northward displacement of less than 500 kilometers.

c. If, in fact, the northward displacement is less than 500 kilometers, which is the more plausible mean, 1200 or 1500 kilometers?

1200 kilometers, because in this case, the will be a higher probability of a northward displacement that is less than 500 kilometers.

What is the probability that the mean age exceeds 73 years

Answers

Answer:

a) Approximately normal.

b) The mean is 75 years and the standard deviation is 0.8485 years.

c) 0.9909 = 99.09% probability that the mean age exceeds 73 years

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 estabilishes 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.

Sample of 50 retirees

This means that [tex]n = 50[/tex]

Mean age and standard deviation are 75 and 6 years

This means that [tex]\mu = 75, \sigma = 6[/tex]

a. Describe the shape of the sampling distribution of the sample mean in this case

By the Central Limit Theorem, approximately normal.

b. Find the mean and standard error of the sampling distribution of the sample mean.

By the Central Limit Theorem, the mean is 75 and the standard error is [tex]s = \frac{6}{\sqrt{50}} = 0.8485[/tex]

c. What is the probability that the mean age exceeds 73 years?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 73.

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

[tex]Z = \frac{73 - 75}{0.8485}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2.36[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2.36[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.0091

1 - 0.0091 = 0.9909

0.9909 = 99.09% probability that the mean age exceeds 73 years

Step-by-step explanation:

75 /100 = .75

.75n = 45

45/.75 = 60

60 is n

60/90 = .666667

.666667 * 100 = 66.67%

Answer: for this problem, I will be using proportions.

Step-by-step explanation:

Find n

45 x 100 = 4,5000

4,5000 / 75 = 60

n = 60

60 x 100 = 6,000

6,000 / 90 = 66.66%

So, n is equal to 60 and n is 66.66% of 90.

A music therapist was interested in investigating whether listening to music or composing music had an influence on both anxiety levels and oxygen saturation in children who were hospitalized for asthma-related illnesses. Thirty-two children spent 20 minutes listening to classical waltzes played on a piano. On a different day, they spent 20 minutes composing their own short pieces of music using a software program.
When listening to music: For the physiological measure, the critical value for t was larger than the test statistic for the observed data. For the anxiety measure, the critical value for t was smaller than the test statistic for the observed data.
When composing music: For the physiological measure, the critical value for t was larger than the test statistic for the observed data. For the anxiety measure, the critical value for t was larger than the test statistic for the observed data.
When writing the results of the music therapist's study, which of these statements reflects the correct conclusions that should be drawn from the results and then included as part of the interpretation paragraph?Question 8 options:
a) Music therapists should make pediatric asthma patients compose music in order to increase their oxygen saturation.
b) Music therapists should make pediatric asthma patients listen to music in order to reduce their anxiety.
c) Pediatric asthma patients should listen to music in order to increase their oxygen saturation.
d) Additional information is needed to draw a proper conclusion.

Answers

Answer:

The correct conclusion is;

d) Additional information is needed to draw a proper conclussion

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

When listening to music;

Physiological measure Critical t > Test statistic Accept H₀

Anxiety measure Critical t < Test statistic Reject H₀

When composing music;

Physiological measure Critical t > Test statistic Accept H₀

Anxiety measure Critical t > Test statistic Accept H₀

When the test statistic is larger the critical 't'

Therefore, the test suggest that there is no difference between physiological and anxiety influence of composing music on pediatric asthma patients

There is sufficient statistical evidence to suggest that listening to music has an influence on the anxiety of pediatric asthma patients however, the nature of the influence is not specified and more information is needed to draw a proper conclusion

Eight percent of all college graduates hired by companies stay with the same company for more than five years. The probability, rounded to four decimal places, that in a random sample of 11 such college graduates hired recently by companies, exactly 2 will stay with the same company for more than five years is: the absolute tolerance is /-0.0001

Answers

Answer:

0.1662 = 16.62% probability that exactly 2 will stay with the same company for more than five years

Step-by-step explanation:

For each graduate, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they stay for the same company for more than five years, or they do not. Graduates are independent. This means that we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

And p is the probability of X happening.

Eight percent of all college graduates hired by companies stay with the same company for more than five years.

This means that [tex]p = 0.08[/tex]

Sample of 11 college graduates:

This means that [tex]n = 11[/tex]

The probability, rounded to four decimal places, that in a random sample of 11 such college graduates hired recently by companies, exactly 2 will stay with the same company for more than five years is: the absolute tolerance is +-0.0001

The tolerance means that the answer is rounded to four decimal places.

The probability is P(X = 2). So

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 2) = C_{11,2}.(0.08)^{2}.(0.92)^{11} = 0.1662[/tex]

0.1662 = 16.62% probability that exactly 2 will stay with the same company for more than five years

What is Multiplication?

Multiplication of two numbers is defined as the addition of one of the number repeatedly until the times of the other number.

a × b means that a is added to itself b times or b is added to itself a times.

Given expression is (3x² - 2) (4x² + 5x).

This can be written as,

(3x² - 2) (4x² + 5x) = 3x² (4x² + 5x) - 2 (4x² + 5x)

We have to use distributive property here.

a(b + c) = ab + ac for any three numbers or expressions, a, b and c.

(3x² - 2) (4x² + 5x) = 3x² (4x² + 5x) - 2 (4x² + 5x)

                              = (12x⁴ + 15x³) - (8x² + 10x)

                              = 12x⁴ + 15x³ - 8x² - 10x

Hence the product is 12x⁴ + 15x³ - 8x² - 10x.
