On average, indoor cats live to 16 years old with a standard deviation of 2.5 years. Suppose that the distribution is normal. Let X = the age at death of a randomly selected indoor cat. Round answers to 4 decimal places where possible.


a. What is the distribution of X? X ~ N([],[])


b. Find the probability that an indoor cat dies when it is between 17.2 and 19.6 years old.[]



c. The middle 20% of indoor cats' age of death lies between what two numbers?

Low: [] years

High: [] years

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) N (16, 2.5²)

(b) 0.241

(c) Low: 15.4 years

    High: 16.6 years

Step-by-step explanation:

The random variable X is defined as the age at death of a randomly selected indoor cat.

(a)

The distribution of X is:

[tex]X\sim N(\mu = 16, \sigma^{2}=2.5^{2})[/tex]

(b)

Compute the probability that an indoor cat dies when it is between 17.2 and 19.6 years old as follows:

[tex]P(17.2<X<19.6)=P(\frac{17.2-16}{2.5}<\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}<\frac{19.6-16}{2.5})[/tex]

                            [tex]=P(0.48<Z<1.44)\\=P(Z<1.44)-P(Z<0.48)\\=0.92507-0.68439\\=0.24068\\\approx 0.241[/tex]

Thus, the probability that an indoor cat dies when it is between 17.2 and 19.6 years old is 0.241.

(c)

Compute the two numbers within which 20% of indoor cats' age of death lies as follows:

[tex]P(x_{1}<X<x_{2})=0.20\\\\\Rightarrow P(-z<Z<z)=0.20\\\\P(Z<z)-P(Z<-z)=0.20\\\\P(Z<z)-[1-P(Z<z)]=0.20\\\\2P(Z<z)-1=0.20\\\\2P(Z<z)=1.20\\\\P(Z<z)=0.60[/tex]

The corresponding value of z is, 0.25.

Compute the value of x₁ and x₂ as follows:

[tex]z=\frac{x_{1}-\mu}{\sigma}\\\\0.25=\frac{x_{1}-16}{2.5}\\\\x_{1}=16+(0.25\times 2.5}\\\\x_{1}=16.625\\\\x_{1}\approx 16.6[/tex]                [tex]z=\frac{x_{1}-\mu}{\sigma}\\\\-0.25=\frac{x_{2}-16}{2.5}\\\\x_{2}=16-(0.25\times 2.5}\\\\x_{2}=15.375\\\\x_{2}\approx 15.4[/tex]

Low: 15.4 years

High: 16.6 years

How do you write 2x^5-9x^4-2x^2+10 in standard form?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]2x^5-9x^4+0x^3-2x^2+0x+10[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

A polynomial is in standard form when its terms are ordered from highest to lowest degree.

If the polynomial is missing terms, it must be completed by setting their coefficients to 0.

The given polynomial is:

[tex]2x^5-9x^4-2x^2+10[/tex]

The terms are ordered, but it's incomplete. The terms with exponent 3 and 1 must be included with zero coefficient.

Thus the polynomial in standard form is:

[tex]\boxed{2x^5-9x^4+0x^3-2x^2+0x+10}[/tex]

(60)x = 1, what are the possible values of x? Explain your answer.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\frac{1}{60}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Problem:

 The possible values of x in the equation (60)x = 1;

Solution:

Such a problem like this in which the highest power of the unknown is 1 will have just one solution.

       60x  = 1

To solve this, we take the multiplicative inverse of 60;

   the multiplicative inverse of 60 = [tex]\frac{1}{60}[/tex]

   Use this inverse to multiply both sides of the expression;

         [tex]\frac{1}{60}[/tex] [tex]x[/tex]  60x  = 1 x [tex]\frac{1}{60}[/tex]

                   x  = [tex]\frac{1}{60}[/tex]

17=17

Answer:

14+3=17or(2*7) +3=17basically 17=17

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+3=17 and x =7

Let's Substitute:(Because the variable is x and we have a value for it which is 7)(Bold and underlined is where the variable is in the equation)

Since x is equal to 7 we are going to substitute it in the equation.

So: (2*7) +3=1714+3=17

3. Mr. Matho has a garden in the shape of an equilateral triangle, He has planted a tree in each corner

of his garden; an oak tree, a maple tree, and a pine tree. In order to water his garden, he decides

that the best place to put a sprinkler would be in the middle of the garden, so it would be equidistant

from all three trees. If the perimeter of his garden is 36 m and the sprinkler is 2-3 m from the

fence joining the oak and maple tree, how far away is the sprinkler from any one of the trees?

Answers

Answer:

The distance the sprinkler is away from any one tree is 6.32 m if it is 2 m from the fence and 6.71 m if it is 3 m from the fence.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the perimeter of the triangle P = a + b + c where a, b and c are the length of sides. Since the triangle is an equilateral triangle, a = b = c. So,

P = 3a

a = P/3

Since the perimeter = 36 m,

a = 36 m/3 = 12 m.

Since the sprinkler is 2 m from the fence joining the oak tree and maple tree, thee line perpendicular from the sprinkler to the fence is thus 2 m. This line cuts the side at the midpoint of the fence which is 12 m/2 = 6 m.

Since this is now a right-angled triangle, we now use Pythagoras' theorem to find the distance from the sprinkler to each tree which is

L = √[(2 m)² + (6 m)²]

= √[ 4 m² + 36 m²}

= √40 m²

= 2√10 m

= 6.32 m

If the fence is 3 m from the sprinkler, the distance

L = √[(3 m)² + (6 m)²]

= √[ 9 m² + 36 m²}

= √45 m²

= 3√5 m

= 6.71 m

So, the distance the sprinkler is away from any one tree is 6.32 m if it is 2 m from the fence and 6.71 m if it is 3 m from the fence.

Answers

Answer:If you rotate trapezoid BEFG counter clockwise 90° then reflected across pointy you will have the image above

Step-by-step explanation:

Transformation involves changing the position of a shape

The transformation from T to T' is a 90 degree counterclockwise

From the figure, we can see that:

The angle between isosceles trapezoid T and its image T' is a right-angle (i.e. 90 degrees)Figure T' is at the right of T

This means that:

A 90 degree counterclockwise through point D will take trapezoid T to T'

Hence, the required transformation is a 90 degree counterclockwise through point D

what is the difference between the mean and the median of the set ( 3 ,8 ,10 ,15)

Answers

Answer:

You can think of the mean being acually mean because you have to do more work. When solving for the mean you add all the answers together then divide by the amount of numbers you have. For example,  you have the numers (1, 2, 3) add them together (1+2+3) to get 6 then divide by 3 (6/3) to get a mean of two. The median is also fairly easy to remember. You line your numbers up least to greatest, left to right. and mark one off of each side at a time. If you have a even amount of numbers and reach the center, you add the two centers together then divide by to to get the median. If you have an odd amount of numbers, there should be one in the exact center left over.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean) 3+8+10+15=36, 36/4=9 ANSWER=9

Median) 8+10=18, 18/2=9 ANSWER=9

In the case, the mean and median are the same and depending on context you could choose either method. It also helps that there is no outlyer. If there were on I would recomend finding the median.
