A roller coaster is being designed that will accommodate 60 riders. The maximum weight the coaster can hold safely is 12,000 pounds. According to the National Health Statistics Reports, the weights of adult U.S. men have mean 189 pounds and standard deviation 63 pounds, and the weights of adult U.S. women have mean 165 pounds and standard deviation 76 pounds.
a. If 60 people are riding the coaster, and their total weight is 12,000 pounds, what is their average weight?
b. If a random sample of 60 adult men ride the coaster, what is the probability that the maximum safe weight will be exceeded?
c. If a random sample of 60 adult women ride the coaster, what is the probability that the maximum safe weight will be exceeded?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a. Their average weight is of 200 pounds.

b. 0.0875 = 8.75% probability that the maximum safe weight will be exceeded

c. 0.0002 = 0.02% probability that the maximum safe weight will be exceeded

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.

a. If 60 people are riding the coaster, and their total weight is 12,000 pounds, what is their average weight?

12000/60 = 200 pounds

Their average weight is of 200 pounds.

b. If a random sample of 60 adult men ride the coaster, what is the probability that the maximum safe weight will be exceeded?

Men means that [tex]\mu = 189, \sigma = 63[/tex].

Sample of 60 means that [tex]n = 60, s = \frac{63}{\sqrt{60}} = 8.13[/tex]

Safe weight will be exceeded if the sample mean is above 200 pounds, which has probability of 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 200. So

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

[tex]Z = \frac{200 - 189}{8.13}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.35[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.35[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.9115

1 - 0.9115 = 0.0875

0.0875 = 8.75% probability that the maximum safe weight will be exceeded.

c. If a random sample of 60 adult women ride the coaster, what is the probability that the maximum safe weight will be exceeded?

Women means that [tex]\mu = 165, \sigma = 76[/tex]

Sample of 60 means that [tex]n = 60, s = \frac{76}{\sqrt{60}} = 9.81[/tex]

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

[tex]Z = \frac{200 - 165}{9.81}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 3.57[/tex]

[tex]Z = 3.57[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.9998

1 - 0.9998 = 0.0002

0.0002 = 0.02% probability that the maximum safe weight will be exceeded

Answer:

log ( 28 )

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we will use this property of logarithms:

If x= a ^ y

then log an (x) = y, where a is the base

 So if e^9 = y  , or y = e^9

then log e (y) = 9

NB: log e (y) is also referred to as the natural log of y, or ln y.

So it can also be written as:

Answer: ln y = 9, or log e (y) = 9

Rosa is making a poster that has a rainbow as part of the design. Using a compass she draws a semicircle with a radius of 18 cm. She draws another semicircle that has a radius of 12 cm as shown. What is the area of the shaded part of the rainbow?

Answers

Answer:

282.7 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello There!

To find the area of the shaded area we are going to want to find the area of the whole semi circle and subtract it by the area of the smaller semi circle

To find the area of a semicircle we use this formula

[tex]A=\frac{\pi r^2}{2}[/tex]

where r = radius

For the large semi circle

The radius of the larger semi circle is 18 cm so we plug in 18 into r in the formula

So..

[tex]A=\frac{\pi 18^2}{2} \\18^2=324\\324\pi =1017.87602\\\frac{1017.87602}{2} =508.9380099[/tex]

So the area of the whole semi circle is 508.9380099 cm²

Now to find the area of the smaller semi circle

The radius for the smaller semi circle is 12 cm so we plug in 12 into r in the formula

[tex]A=\frac{12^2\pi }{2} \\12^2=144\\144\pi =452.3893421\\\frac{452.3893421}{2} =226.1946711[/tex]

so the area of the smaller semi circle is 226.1946711cm²

Finally we want to subtract the area of the smaller semi circle from the area of the whole semi circle

508.9380099 - 226.1946711 = 282.7433388

Finally we want to round to the nearest tenth and we get that the area of the rainbow is 282.7 cm²

Example:

You have no money, you decide to swipe your credit card to purchase something for $17. Again, you did so for another item paying $24. You are now $41 in debt. Your mom decides to pay for your debt which is $41. You decide to actually go to your part-time job and earn $23. When was the time you had the most money in this example? When you earned the $23 becuase you started with none.

Answer:

23

Step-by-step explanation:

It adds 10 every time, so you will add 1100 to -7 which is 1093.

Can I get marked as the brainliest, please?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the nth term of a sequence is a+(n - 1 )d, where a is the first term and d is the difference between each term. Here, a is -7 and d is 10 (terms go up by ten each time).

So, the nth term = -7+(n-1)10 = -7+10n-10 = 10n-17

So, the 110th term = 10(110)-17=1100-17=1083

You are testing the claim that the mean GPA of night students is different from the mea GPA of day students. You sample 20 night students, and the sample mean GPA is 2.84 with a standard mean GPA is 2.55 with a standard deviation of 0.45. Test the claim using a 1% level of significance. Assume the population standard deviations are unequal and that GPAs are normally distributed. Give answer to at least 4 decimal places. What are the correct hypotheses

Answers

Answer:

As the calculated value of z does not lie in the critical region the null hypothesis is accepted that the GPA mean of the night students is the same as the GPA mean of the day students.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here n= 20

Sample mean GPA = x`= 2.84

Standard mean GPA = u= 2.55

Standard deviation = s=  0.45.

Level of Significance.= ∝ = 0.01

The hypothesis are formulated as

H0: u1=u2   i.e the GPA of night students is same as the mean GPA of day students

against the claim

Ha: u1≠u2

i.e the GPA of night students is different from the mea GPA of day students

For two tailed test  the critical value is  z ≥ z∝/2= ± 2.58

The test statistic

Z= x`-u/s/√n

z= 2.84-2.55/0.45/√20

z= 0.1441

As the calculated value of z does not lie in the critical region the null hypothesis is accepted that the GPA mean of the night students is the same as the GPA mean of the day students.

Answers

Answer:

It grows 221 centimeters in 13 weeks.

Step-by-step explanation:

Each meter has 100 centimeters.

A coral reef grows 0.17 m every week

So it grows 0.17*100 = 17 cm every week.

How much does it grow in 13 weeks?

17 cm every week for 13 weeks, so

17*13 = 221

It grows 221 centimeters in 13 weeks.
