The number of accidents per week at a hazardous intersection varies with mean 2.2 and standard deviation 1.4. The distribution of this particular variable is very right skewed.(a) Suppose we let (X-bar) be the mean number of accidents per week at the intersection during 9 randomly chosen weeks. What is the probability that (X-bar) is less than 2?(b) Now let X be the mean number of accidents per week at the intersection during a year (52 weeks). What is the probability that X is less than 2?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The probability that sample mean is less than 2  is 0.1423.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X denote the number of accidents per week at a hazardous intersection.

It is provided that the mean and standard deviation of X are, μ = 2.2 and σ = 1.4.

(a)

According to the Central Limit Theorem if an unknown population is selected with mean μ and standard deviation σ and appropriately huge random samples (n > 30) are selected from this population with replacement, then the distribution of the sample means will be approximately normally.  

Then, the mean of the sample means is given by,

[tex]\mu_{\bar x}=\mu[/tex]

And the standard deviation of the sample means is given by,

[tex]\sigma_{\bar x}=\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

As the sample size is not large enough, i.e. n = 9 < 30, the Central Limit Theorem cannot be applied to approximate the sampling distribution of the mean number of accidents per week at the intersection.

And since the distribution of X is not specified, the probability cannot be computed.

(b)

In this case, the sample size is large enough, i.e. n = 52 > 30, the Central Limit Theorem can be applied to approximate the sampling distribution of the mean number of accidents per week at the intersection.

Compute the probability that sample mean is less than 2 as follows:

[tex]P(\bar X<2)=P(\frac{\bar X-\mu_{\bar x}}{\sigma_{\bar x}}<\frac{2-2.2}{1.4/\sqrt{56}})\\\\=P(Z<-1.07)\\\\=0.14231\\\\\approx 0.1423[/tex]

Thus, the probability that sample mean is less than 2  is 0.1423.

a line has the equation 3x-4y=1 choose the equation of a line that is parallel to the given line

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the given line is 3x - 4y = 1

A line parallel to the given line will have slope that is the same as this one.

The equation of a straight line is expressed as;

           y  = mx + c

y and x are the coordinates

   m is the slope

    c is the y-intercept

  Now, we write the given line in the slope - intercept form;

       3x - 4y  = 1

            -4y  = -3x + 1

  Divide through by -4

       [tex]\frac{-4y}{-4}[/tex]   = [tex]\frac{-3x}{-4}[/tex]  + [tex]\frac{1}{-4}[/tex]  

          y  = [tex]\frac{3}{4} x[/tex] - [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]  

The slope of this line is [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex]  

Any line with the slope  [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex]  will be parallel to the given line.

Suppose that a population of bacteria triples every hour and starts with 700 bacteria.
(a) Find an expression for the number n of bacteria after t hours.
(b) Estimate the rate of growth of the bacteria population after 1.5 hours.

Answers

Answer:

(a) An expression for the number n of bacteria after t hours is n(t)=700*[tex]3^{t}[/tex]

(b) The rate of growth of the bacteria population after 1.5 hours is 3,996 number of bacteria per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

An exponential function is one in which the independent variable x appears in the exponent and has a constant a as its base. Its expression is:

f(x)=aˣ

being a real positive.

When 0 <a <1, then the exponential function is a decreasing function and when a> 1, it is an increasing function.

An exponential function allows us to refer to phenomena that grow faster and faster, such as population growth.

In that case, the formula used to model the growth of a population is given by:

P(t)=P0*[tex]a^{t}[/tex]

where the function P (t) grows exponentially and represents the quantity of the population at time t; a represents the constant of growth or decrease and P0 represents the initial population at time zero.

In this case:

P0=700a=3

Replacing, you get:

P(t)=700*[tex]3^{t}[/tex]

An expression for the number n of bacteria after t hours is n(t)=700*[tex]3^{t}[/tex]

The derivative of this function P (t) is:

n'(t)=700*ln(3)*[tex]3^{t}[/tex]

and reflects the growth rate of the bacteria population.

So, the rate of growth of the bacteria population after 1.5 hours is:

n(1.5)=700*ln(3)*[tex]3^{1.5}[/tex]

Solving, you get:

n(1.5)≅ 3,996

The rate of growth of the bacteria population after 1.5 hours is 3,996 number of bacteria per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the only correct option, given the relevant population mean range.  Option B is not correct as the population mean cannot range between 0 and 0.583120 as given by the option.  Options 'a' and 'd' are not relevant to the question because they have 1% confidence level, instead of the stated 99% confidence level.

Ruben bought 2 large popcorn buckets and 4 small drinks for $20. Lucia bought 2 large popcorn buckets and 2 small drinks for $14. What was the cost of the large popcorn and the small drink?

Answers

Answer:

$3 for the small drinks and $4 for the large popcorn

Step-by-step explanation:

so we know that 2 popcorns and 4 small drinks give us $20 and 2 popcorns and 2 drinks gives us 14. so $6 was taken away because of two drinks and 6÷2 equals 3 therefore $3 is how much a small drink costs. after taking away another 6 from 14 because we found the costs of drinks we get $8 for two popcorns and 8÷2 is 4 so a large popcorn costs $4

Answer:

The large popcorn bucket cost $4 and the small drink cost $3.

where:

x₁ = pounds of corn

x₂ = pounds of soybean

constraints:

x₁ + x₂ ≥ 800

0.09x₁ + 0.60x₂ ≥ 0.30(800) ⇒ 0.09x₁ + 0.60x₂ ≥ 240

0.02x₁ + 0.06x₂ ≤ 0.05(800) ⇒ 0.02x₁ + 0.06x₂ ≤ 40

x₁ ≥ 0

x₂ ≥ 0

the optimal solution is: 470.59x₁ + 329,41x₂ = $437.65

 

What value of x makes the equation -0.2(3x – 25) = -0.1x + 7 true?

Answers

x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok first let's put the equation.

-0.2(3x – 25) = -0.1x + 7 (first distribute the -.2 to 3x and -25)

-0.6x + 5 = -0.1x + 7 (subtract 5 on both sides)

-0.6x = -0.1x + 2 (add -0.1x on both sides)

-0.5x = 2 (divide by -0.5 on both sides)

x = -4

The solutions to a quadratic equation is whenever the graph crosses the x-axis. The solutions are also known as the roots or zeros of the quadratic.

Our quadratic crosses the x-axis at -3 and 1. So, at those two points, f(x) is 0. Namely, we have the two points (-3, 0) and (1, 0).

So, our two solutions are -3 and 1.

Hence, our answer is B.

Answer:

I think it would be B

If f(x) is 0, that means the value of x would not change at all. and since its only on the x-axis and neither numbers are used for the y-axis, the solutions would most likely be -3 and 1.
