Silicone implant augmentation rhinoplasty is used to correct congenital nose deformities. The success of the procedure depends on various biomechanical properties of the human nasal periosteum and fascia. An article reported that for a sample of 10 (newly deceased) adults, the mean failure strain (%) was 24.0, and the standard deviation was 3.2.
Required:
a. Assuming a normal distribution for failure strain, estimate true average strain in a way that converys information about precision and reliability.
b. Predict the strain for a single adult in a way that conveys information about precision and reliability. How does the prediction compare to the estimate calculated in part (a)?
Solution :
Given information :
A sample of n = 10 adults
The mean failure was 24 and the standard deviation was 3.2
a). The formula to calculate the 95% confidence interval is given by :
[tex]$\overline x \pm t_{\alpha/2,-1} \times \frac{s}{\sqrt n}$[/tex]
Here, [tex]$t_{\alpha/2,n-1} = t_{0.05/2,10-1}$[/tex]
= 2.145
Substitute the values
[tex]$24 \pm 2.145 \times \frac{3.2}{\sqrt {10}}$[/tex]
(26.17, 21.83)
When the [tex]\text{sampling of the same size}[/tex] is repeated from the [tex]\text{population}[/tex] [tex]n[/tex] infinite number of [tex]\text{times}[/tex], and the [tex]\text{confidence intervals}[/tex] are constructed, then [tex]95\%[/tex] of them contains the [tex]\text{true value of the population mean}[/tex], μ in between [tex](26.17, 21.83)[/tex]

Answer:
See below
Step-by-step explanation:
a)
[tex]2\sin(x) +\sqrt{3} =0 \implies 2\sin(x)=-\sqrt{3} \implies \boxed{\sin(x)=-\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2} }[/tex]
[tex]\therefore x=\dfrac{4\pi }{3}[/tex]
But note, as sine does represent the [tex]y[/tex] value, [tex]\dfrac{5\pi }{3}[/tex] is also solution
Therefore,
[tex]x=\dfrac{4\pi }{3} \text{ and } x=\dfrac{5\pi }{3}[/tex]
This is the solution for [tex]x\in[0, 2\pi ][/tex], recall the unit circle.
Note: [tex]\sin(x)=-\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \implies \sin(x)=\sin \left(\pi +\dfrac{\pi }{3} \right)[/tex]
b)
[tex]\sqrt{3} \tan(x) + 1 =0 \implies \tan(x) = -\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{3} } \implies \boxed{ \tan(x) = -\dfrac{\sqrt{3} }{3} }[/tex]
Once
[tex]\tan(x) = -\dfrac{\sqrt{3} }{3} \implies \sin(x) = -\dfrac{1}{2} \text{ and } \cos(x) = \dfrac{\sqrt{3} }{2}[/tex]
As [tex]\tan(x) = \dfrac{\sin(x)}{\cos(x)}[/tex]
[tex]\therefore x=-\dfrac{\pi }{6}[/tex]
c)
[tex]4\sin^2(x) - 1 = 0 \implies \sin^2(x) = \dfrac{1}{4} \implies \boxed{\sin(x) = \pm \dfrac{\sqrt{1} }{\sqrt{4} } = \pm \dfrac{1}{2}}[/tex]
Therefore,
[tex]\sin(x)=\dfrac{1}{2} \implies x=\dfrac{\pi }{6} \text{ and } x=\dfrac{5\pi }{6}[/tex]
[tex]\sin(x)=-\dfrac{1}{2} \implies x=\dfrac{7\pi }{6} \text{ and } x=\dfrac{11\pi }{6}[/tex]
The solutions are
[tex]x=\dfrac{\pi }{6} \text{ and } x=\dfrac{5\pi }{6} \text{ and }x=\dfrac{7\pi }{6} \text{ and } x=\dfrac{11\pi }{6}[/tex]
A ball is thrown from an initial height of
1 meter with an initial upward velocity of
1 m/s. The ball's height h
(in meters) after t
seconds is given by the following. h=1+30t-5t^2
Find all values of t
for which the ball's height is 11
meters.
Round your answer(s) to the nearest hundredth.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If we are looking for the times that the ball was 11 meters off the ground, we sub in 11 for the height on the left and solve for t:
[tex]11=-5t^2+30t+1[/tex] and
[tex]0=-5t^2+30t-10[/tex] and factor this however it is you are factoring in class to solve for t to get
t = .35 seconds and t = 5.6 seconds
Because the ball reaches this point in its way up and then passes it again on its way down, the ball will have 2 times at this height.

A group of hens lays 69 eggs in a single day. On one particular day, there were 7 brown eggs and 62 white eggs. If four eggs are selected at random, without replacement, what is the probability that all four are brown?
Answer:
The probability will 4.32%.
The probability that all four are brown is 35/8,64,501.
Given that, A group of hens lays 69 eggs in a single day. On one particular day, there were 7 brown eggs and 62 white eggs.
What is the probability without replacement?Probability without replacement means once we draw an item, then we do not replace it back to the sample space before drawing a second item. In other words, an item cannot be drawn more than once.
If four eggs are selected at random, without replacement, the probability that all four are brown is 7/69 × 6/68 × 5/67 × 4/66
= 7/69 × 3/34 × 5/67 × 2/33
=7/23 × 1/17 × 5/67 × 1/33
=35/8,64,501
Therefore, the probability that all four are brown is 35/8,64,501.

A shop sells a particular of video recorder. Assuming that the weekly demand for the video recorder is a Poisson variable with the mean 3, find the probability that the shop sells. . (a) At least 3 in a week. (b) At most 7 in a week. (c) More than 20 in a month (4 weeks).
Answer:
a) 0.5768 = 57.68% probability that the shop sells at least 3 in a week.
b) 0.988 = 98.8% probability that the shop sells at most 7 in a week.
c) 0.0104 = 1.04% probability that the shop sells more than 20 in a month.
Step-by-step explanation:
For questions a and b, the Poisson distribution is used, while for question c, the normal approximation is used.
Poisson distribution:
In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:
[tex]P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\lambda}*\lambda^{x}}{(x)!}[/tex]
In which
x is the number of successes
e = 2.71828 is the Euler number
[tex]\lambda[/tex] is the mean in the given interval.
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.
The Poisson distribution can be approximated to the normal with [tex]\mu = \lambda, \sigma = \sqrt{\lambda}[/tex], if [tex]\lambda>10[/tex].
Poisson variable with the mean 3
This means that [tex]\lambda= 3[/tex].
(a) At least 3 in a week.
This is [tex]P(X \geq 3)[/tex]. So
[tex]P(X \geq 3) = 1 - P(X < 3)[/tex]
In which:
[tex]P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)[/tex]
Then
[tex]P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\lambda}*\lambda^{x}}{(x)!}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.0498[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.1494[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 2) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{2}}{(2)!} = 0.2240[/tex]
So
[tex]P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = 0.0498 + 0.1494 + 0.2240 = 0.4232[/tex]
[tex]P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = 1 - 0.4232 = 0.5768[/tex]
0.5768 = 57.68% probability that the shop sells at least 3 in a week.
(b) At most 7 in a week.
This is:
[tex]P(X \leq 7) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 7)[/tex]
In which
[tex]P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\lambda}*\lambda^{x}}{(x)!}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.0498[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.1494[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 2) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{2}}{(2)!} = 0.2240[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 3) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{3}}{(3)!} = 0.2240[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 4) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{4}}{(4)!} = 0.1680[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 5) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{5}}{(5)!} = 0.1008[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 6) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{6}}{(6)!} = 0.0504[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 7) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{7}}{(7)!} = 0.0216[/tex]
Then
[tex]P(X \leq 7) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 7) = 0.0498 + 0.1494 + 0.2240 + 0.2240 + 0.1680 + 0.1008 + 0.0504 + 0.0216 = 0.988[/tex]
0.988 = 98.8% probability that the shop sells at most 7 in a week.
(c) More than 20 in a month (4 weeks).
4 weeks, so:
[tex]\mu = \lambda = 4(3) = 12[/tex]
[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{\lambda} = \sqrt{12}[/tex]
The probability, using continuity correction, is P(X > 20 + 0.5) = P(X > 20.5), which is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 20.5.
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{20 - 12}{\sqrt{12}}[/tex]
[tex]Z = 2.31[/tex]
[tex]Z = 2.31[/tex] has a p-value of 0.9896.
1 - 0.9896 = 0.0104
0.0104 = 1.04% probability that the shop sells more than 20 in a month.
The probability of the selling the video recorders for considered cases are:
P(At least 3 in a week) = 0.5768 approximately.P(At most 7 in a week) = 0.9881 approximately.P( more than 20 in a month) = 0.0839 approximately.What are some of the properties of Poisson distribution?Let X ~ Pois(λ)
Then we have:
E(X) = λ = Var(X)
Since standard deviation is square root (positive) of variance,
Thus,
Standard deviation of X = [tex]\sqrt{\lambda}[/tex]
Its probability function is given by
f(k; λ) = Pr(X = k) = [tex]\dfrac{\lambda^{k}e^{-\lambda}}{k!}[/tex]
For this case, let we have:
X = the number of weekly demand of video recorder for the considered shop.
Then, by the given data, we have:
X ~ Pois(λ=3)
Evaluating each event's probability:
Case 1: At least 3 in a week.
[tex]P(X > 3) = 1- P(X \leq 2) = \sum_{i=0}^{2}P(X=i) = \sum_{i=0}^{2} \dfrac{3^ie^{-3}}{i!}\\\\P(X > 3) = 1 - e^{-3} \times \left( 1 + 3 + 9/2\right) \approx 1 - 0.4232 = 0.5768[/tex]
Case 2: At most 7 in a week.
[tex]P(X \leq 7) = \sum_{i=0}^{7}P(X=i) = \sum_{i=0}^{7} \dfrac{3^ie^{-3}}{i!}\\\\P(X \leq 7) = e^{-3} \times \left( 1 + 3 + 9/2 + 27/6 + 81/24 + 243/120 + 729/720 + 2187/5040\right)\\\\P(X \leq 7) \approx 0.9881[/tex]
Case 3: More than 20 in a month(4 weeks)
That means more than 5 in a week on average.
[tex]P(X > 5) = 1- P(X \leq 5) =\sum_{i=0}^{5}P(X=i) = \sum_{i=0}^{5} \dfrac{3^ie^{-3}}{i!}\\\\P(X > 5) = 1- e^{-3}( 1 + 3 + 9/2 + 27/6 + 81/24 + 243/120)\\\\P(X > 5) \approx 1 - 0.9161 \\ P(X > 5) \approx 0.0839[/tex]

Hopefully you can see that this is an isosceles triangle and remembering the inequality theorem of a triangle (4,4,11 triangle cannot exist). Iso triangle has two side the same length - as well as two angles the same.
If the lengths of the legs of a right triangle are 5 and 12, what is the length of the hypotenuse?
Answer:
13
Step-by-step explanation:
If we have a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the hypotenuse
a^2+b^2 = c^2 where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse
5^2 + 12^2 = c^2
25+144= c^2
169 = c^2
Take the square root of each side
sqrt(169) = sqrt(c^2)
13= c
Answer:
The length of the hypotenuse is 13.
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]a^{2}[/tex] = [tex]b^2 + c^2[/tex]
[tex]a^2 = 12^2 + 5^2[/tex]
[tex]a^2 = 144 + 25[/tex]
[tex]a^2 = 169[/tex]
a=[tex]\sqrt{169}[/tex]
a= 13
Here we use the idea of the Pythagoras' theorem. Which suggests that [tex]a^{2}[/tex] = [tex]b^2 + c^2[/tex] in which [tex]a^{2}[/tex] is the hypotenuse of the triangle and [tex]b^2[/tex] and [tex]c^{2}[/tex] are the two other lengths of the triangle.

At a sale this week, a desk is being sold for $312. This is a 35% discount from the original price.
What is the original price?
Answer:
$480
Step-by-step explanation:
Let original price be x
{Original price - discount amount = sale price}
So, x - (x * 35/100) = 312
x - 35x/100 = 312
100x - 35x / 100 = 312
65x/100 = 312
65x = 31200
x = 31200/65
x = $480
So I think the original price of desk was $480
The original price of the desk is $480.
What is discount?A discount is the reduction of either the monetary amount or a percentage of the normal selling price of a product or service.
Given that, a desk is being sold for $312.
Let the original price of the desk be x.
Here, x-35% of x =312
x- 35/100 ×x=312
x-0.35x=312
0.65x=312
x=312/0.65
x=480
Therefore, the original price of the desk is $480.

According to the report, "the margin of sampling error is / percentage points with a % level of confidence." Find and interpret a % confidence interval for the percentage of all adults in the country who favor a plan to break up the megabanks.
Answer:
(42% ; 48%)
We are 99% confident that the percentage of all adults in the country who favor a plan to break up the megabanks is between 42% and 48%
Step-by-step explanation:
The confidence interval is used to estimate the range of values for which the population value may lie at a certain level of confidence.
Given that :
Phat = 45%
Margin of error = ±3%
The confidence interval is defined as :
C. I = Phat ± margin of error
C. I = 45% ± 3%
Lower boundary :
45% - 3% = 42%
Upper boundary :
45% + 3% = 48%
C.I = (42% ; 48%)
We are 99% confident that the percentage of all adults in the country who favor a plan to break up the megabanks is between 42% and 48%

The height of a triangle is 4 yards greater than the base. The area of the triangle is 70 square yards. Find the length of the base and the height of the triangle.
9514 1404 393
Answer:
base: 10 yardsheight: 14 yardsStep-by-step explanation:
Let b represent the length of the base. Then (b+4) is the height and the area of the triangle is ...
A = 1/2bh
70 = 1/2(b)(b+4)
b² +4b -140 = 0 . . . . . multiply by 2, put in standard form
(b +14)(b -10) = 0 . . . . factor
b = 10 . . . . the positive solution
The base of the triangle is 10 yards; the height is 14 yards.
