A particular variety of watermelon weighs on average 22.4 pounds with a standard deviation of 1.36 pounds. Consider the sample mean weight of 64 watermelons of this variety. Assume the individual watermelon weights are independent.

Required:
a. What is the expected value of the sample mean weight?
b. What is the standard deviation of the sample mean weight?
c. What is the approximate probability the sample mean weight will be less than 22.02?
d. What is the value c such that the approximate probability the sample mean will be less than c is 0.9?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) 22.4 pounds.

b) 0.17 pounds.

c) 0.0127 = 1.27% approximate probability the sample mean weight will be less than 22.02.

d) c = 22.62

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.

Average 22.4 pounds with a standard deviation of 1.36 pounds.

This means that [tex]\mu = 22.4, \sigma = 1.36[/tex]

Consider the sample mean weight of 64 watermelons of this variety.

This means that [tex]n = 64, s = \frac{1.36}{\sqrt{64}} = 0.17[/tex]

a. What is the expected value of the sample mean weight?

By the Central Limit Theorem, 22.4 pounds.

b. What is the standard deviation of the sample mean weight?

By the Central Limit Theorem, 0.17 pounds.

c. What is the approximate probability the sample mean weight will be less than 22.02?

This is the p-value of Z when X = 22.02. So

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

[tex]Z = \frac{22.02 - 22.4}{0.17}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2.235[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2.235[/tex] has a p-value of 0.0127.

0.0127 = 1.27% approximate probability the sample mean weight will be less than 22.02.

d. What is the value c such that the approximate probability the sample mean will be less than c is 0.9?

This is the 90th percentile, that is, [tex]X = c[/tex] when z has a p-value of 0.9, so X when Z = 1.28.

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

[tex]1.28 = \frac{c - 22.4}{0.17}[/tex]

[tex]c - 22.4 = 1.28*0.17[/tex]

[tex]c = 22.62[/tex]

Differentiate y = sin^2x - cos^2x

Answers

Using the power and chain rules, the derivative of

y = sin²(x) - cos²(x)

is

dy/dx = 2 sin(x) cos(x) - 2 cos(x) (-sin(x))

dy/dx = 2 sin(x) cos(x) + 2 sin(x) cos(x)

dy/dx = 4 sin(x) cos(x)

and using the double angle identity for sine, this is equivalent to

dy/dx = 2 sin(2x)

Alternatively, we can first simplify y using the double angle identity for cosine:

cos(2x)= cos²(x) - sin²(x)

so that

y = -cos(2x)

and the derivative is

dy/dx = sin(2x) • 2

dy/dx = 2 sin(2x)

The school band is selling items to raise​ $9,500 for a trip. For each item​ sold, the​ band's profit is a percent of the selling​ price, as shown in the table. The​ flutists' goal is to raise​ 18% of the total amount needed. The​ trumpeters' goal is​ 85% of the​ flutists' goal. If both of these groups meet their​ goals, which group raised more​ money? What was the difference in the amounts the students​ raised?

Answers

The goal amount of the student groups are given in percentages, which are fractions based on one hundred.

The flutist raised more money than the trumpetersThe difference in the amounts the student raised is $256.5

Reasons:

The amount the school band is raising for the trip = $9,500

Goal of the flutist = To raise 18% of the total amount

Goal of the trumpeters = 85% of the flutist's goal

Required:

The group that raise more money, given that their goals are met

Solution:

Given that the goal of the trumpeters trumpeters is 85% of the goal of the flutist, the flutist raised more money.

Required:

The difference in the amount raised by the students

Solution:

The amount raised by the flutist = 18% of $9,500 = 0.18 × $9,500 = $1,710

Amount the trumpeters raised = 85% of $1,710 = 0.85 × $1,710 = $1,453.5

The difference in the amount raised = $1,710 - $1,453.5 = $256.5

SELECT ALL CORRECT ANSWERS

Vertical stretch
Vertical Shift
Vertical Compression
Reflection over the x-axis
Horizontal Shift

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

g(x) = -2f(x)

Vertical stretch                       by virtue of the factor 2

Reflection over the x-axis      by virtue of the factor -1

The transformations which must be applied to function F to produce the graph of function g are vertical stretch and reflection over the x-axis.

To transform the function f(x)=12ˣ into the function  g(x)=−2(12)ˣ

Since g(x) is multiplied by -2 compared to f(x), this represents a vertical compression.

The absolute value of the multiplier indicates the degree of compression/stretch.

The negative sign in front of 2(12)ˣ in g(x) reflects the graph over the x-axis. This means that the graph of g(x) is reflected below the x-axis compared to f(x).

Hence, vertical stretch and reflection over the x-axis are the transformations which must be applied to function F to produce the graph of function g.

s is displacementu is initial velocity, u = 0 [ from rest ]a is acceleration, a = 2 m/s²t is time, t = 10s

Distance Covered

To find the distance covered by the object, we have to use the formula

of velocity. But we are not given the velocity or speed of the object here.

where s and t are the distance and time respectively.

But from acceleration,

[tex]a = v/t\\v = a*t\\v = 2 * 10 \\v = 20m/s[/tex]

The velocity of the object is 20m/s

A particle moves along the x-axis so that at time t ≥ 0 its position is given by x(t) = 2t3 - 21t2 + 72t - 53. At what time t is the particle at rest?

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

The particle is at rest when the derivative of x(t), which is its velocity, is zero, i.e.,

[tex]\dfrac{d}{dt}[x(t)] = \dot{x}(t) = 0[/tex]

Since [tex]x(t) = 2t^3 - 21t^2 + 72t - 53,[/tex] its derivative is

[tex]\dot{x}(t) = 6t^2 - 42t + 72[/tex]

Equating this to zero, we get

[tex]6t^2 - 42t + 72 = 0 \Rightarrow t^2 - 7t + 12 = 0[/tex]

This is a familiar quadratic equation whose roots are

[tex]t = \dfrac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}[/tex]

Part B: Solve for k in each type of transformation.
Part C: Write an equation for each type of transformation that can be used to transform f(x) to g(x).

Answers

Answer:

Part A: The two types of types of transformation are

1) Rotation of 11.3° about (1, 2)

2) By algebraic transformation

Part B:

Rotation by 11.3° and T(2 - y)×1/2 + x, 0)

Part C: The transformation that can be used to transform f(x) to g(x) is T(2 - y)×1/2 + x, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinates through which the linear function f(x) passes = (1. 3) and (3, 13)

The coordinates through which the linear function g(x) passes = (1, 3) and (1, 13)

The equation for f(x) in slope and intercept form. y = m·x + c is given as follows;

The slope, m = (13 - 3)/(3 - 1) = 5

The equation in point and slope form is y - 3 = 5×(x -1)

y = 5·x - 5 + 3 = 5·x - 3

y = 5·x - 3

The equation for g(x) in slope and intercept form. y = m·x + c is given as follows;

The slope, m = (13 - 3)/(1 - 1) = ∞

∴ The equation in point and slope form is x = 1

Therefore, the two equations meet at the point (1, 2)

The transformation that can be used to transform f(x) to g(x) is T(2 - y)×1/2 + x, 0)

2) Another transformation that can be used is to rotate f(x) by the vertex angle as follows

Vertex angle is 90° - tan⁻¹(m) = 90° - tan⁻¹(5) ≈ 11.3°

Rotation of f(x) by 11.3° about (1, 2) gives g(x)
