b. Using the Empirical Rule and your answer to part a, what percentage of whale pregnancies will have a gestation period between 13.8 and 15 months?
c. Would it be unusual for a whole to have a gestation period of 21 months? Why or why not?
The standard score associated with a gestation period of 13.8 months is __________.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) The standard score associated with a gestation period of 13.8 months is of [tex]Z = -1[/tex]

b) 34% of whale pregnancies will have a gestation period between 13.8 and 15 months.

c) Since when [tex]X = 21[/tex], [tex]Z = 5 \geq 2[/tex], it would be unusual for a whale to have a gestation period of 21 months.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

Approximately 68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

Approximately 95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean.

Approximately 99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

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 zscore 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 pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

If [tex]Z \geq 2[/tex] or [tex]Z \leq -2[/tex], the measure X is considered to be unusual.

According to a website, the mean gestation period for a whale is 15 months. Assume the distribution of gestation periods is Normal with a standard deviation of 1.2 months.

I corrected to 1.2 because it is what makes sense considering the questions.

This means that [tex]\mu = 15, \sigma = 1.2[/tex]

a. Find the standard score associated with a gestation period of 13.8 months

This is Z when X = 13.8. So

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

[tex]Z = \frac{13.8 - 15}{1.2}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1[/tex]

The standard score associated with a gestation period of 13.8 months is of [tex]Z = -1[/tex]

b. Using the Empirical Rule and your answer to part a, what percentage of whale pregnancies will have a gestation period between 13.8 and 15 months?

The standard score associated with a gestation period of 13.8 months is of [tex]Z = -1[/tex], which means that it is one standard deviation below the mean.

The normal distribution is symmetric, which means that of the approximately 68% of measures within one standard deviation of the mean, 68%/2 = 34% are within one standard deviation below the mean(in this case, 13.8) and the mean(in this case 15), and 34% are within the mean and one standard deviation above the mean.

So 34% of whale pregnancies will have a gestation period between 13.8 and 15 months.

c. Would it be unusual for a whale to have a gestation period of 21 months? Why or why not?

Let's find the z-score

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

[tex]Z = \frac{21 - 15}{1.2}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 5[/tex]

Since when [tex]X = 21[/tex], [tex]Z = 5 \geq 2[/tex], it would be unusual for a whale to have a gestation period of 21 months.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

[Linear System with Two Variables]

Given that:

y = 7x - 53y = -4x + 35

(i) Find the value of x

Substitute the value of y in -4x + 35 with 7x - 53

Therefore we get

7x - 53 = -4x + 35

-4x to the left side of "=" = + 4x

-53 to the right side of "=" = + 53

we get:

7x + 4x = 53 + 35

11x = 88

x = 8 ✅

(ii) Find the value of y

y = 7x - 53

put x = 8 after the coefficient = 7

y = 7·8 - 53

y = 56 - 53

y = 3 ✅

The value of (x, y) =

Which equation is equivalent to 3-4x=12

Answers

We have a linear equation here.

3 - 4x = 12

Subtract 3 from both sides.

3 - 3 - 4x = 12 - 3

-4x = 9

Divide both sides by -4 to find x.

-4x/-4 = 9/-4

x = -9/4

The value of solution of expression is,

⇒ x = - 9 / 14

WE have to given that;

A mathematical expression is,

⇒ 3 - 4x = 12

Now, WE can simplify as;

⇒ 3 - 4x = 12

Add 4x both side,

⇒ 3 - 4x + 4x = 12 + 4x

⇒ 3 = 12 + 4x

Subtract 12 both side, we get;

⇒ 3 - 12 = 14x

⇒ - 9 = 14x

⇒ x = - 9 / 14

Thus, The value of solution of expression is,

⇒ x = - 9 / 14

Answer:

[tex]P(X=8) = 0.0194[/tex]

[tex]P(X \ge 8)= 0.9820[/tex]

[tex]P(X \ge 1)= 1[/tex]

[tex]P(X\le 1) = 0.0000049[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]\lambda = 15[/tex]

Poisson distribution is given by:

[tex]P(X=x) = \frac{\lambda^x e^{-\lambda}}{x!}[/tex]

Solving (a): 8 bugs

This implies that:

[tex]x = 8[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]P(X=8) = \frac{15^8 * e^{-15}}{8!}[/tex]

[tex]P(X=8) = \frac{783.99418938}{40320}[/tex]

[tex]P(X=8) = 0.0194[/tex]

Solving (b): At least 8 bugs

This is represented as: [tex]P(X \ge 8)[/tex]

Using complement rule:

[tex]P(X \ge 8)= 1 - P(X<8)[/tex]

Where

[tex]P(X<8) = P(X=1) + P(X=2) + P(X=3) + P(X=4) + P(X=5) + P(X=6) + P(X=7)[/tex]

[tex]P(X<8) = \frac{15^1 * e^{-15}}{1!} + \frac{15^2 * e^{-15}}{2!} + \frac{15^3 * e^{-15}}{3!} + \frac{15^4 * e^{-15}}{4!} + \frac{15^5 * e^{-15}}{5!} + \frac{15^6 * e^{-15}}{6!} + \frac{15^7 * e^{-15}}{7!}[/tex]

[tex]P(X<8) = (\frac{15^1}{1!} + \frac{15^2}{2!} + \frac{15^3 }{3!} + \frac{15^4}{4!} + \frac{15^5}{5!} + \frac{15^6}{6!} + \frac{15^7}{7!}) e^{-15}[/tex]

[tex]P(X<8) = (15 + 112.5 + 562.5 + 2109.375 + 6328.125 + 15820.3125 + 33900.6696429) *e^{-15}[/tex]

[tex]P(X<8) = 58848.4821429 *e^{-15}[/tex]

[tex]P(X<8) = 0.0180[/tex]

So:

[tex]P(X \ge 8)= 1 - P(X<8)[/tex]

[tex]P(X \ge 8)= 1 - 0.0180[/tex]

[tex]P(X \ge 8)= 0.9820[/tex]

Solving (c): At least 1

This is represented as: [tex]P(X \ge 1)[/tex]

Using complement rule:

[tex]P(X \ge 1)= 1 - P(X<1)[/tex]

[tex]P(X<1) = P(X = 0)[/tex]

[tex]P(X<1) = \frac{15^0 e^{-15}}{0!}[/tex]

[tex]P(X<1) = \frac{e^{-15}}{1}[/tex]

[tex]P(X<1) = e^{-15}[/tex]

So:

[tex]P(X \ge 1)= 1 - P(X<1)[/tex]

[tex]P(X \ge 1)= 1 - e^{-15[/tex]

[tex]P(X \ge 1)= 0.99999969409[/tex]

[tex]P(X \ge 1)= 1[/tex]

Solving (d): Not more than 1

This implies at most 1.

It is represented as:

[tex]P(X\le 1)[/tex]

It is calculated using:

[tex]P(X\le 1) = P(X = 0) + P(X =1)[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = e^{-15}[/tex]

[tex]P(X=1) = \frac{15^1 * e^{-15}}{1!}[/tex]

[tex]P(X=1) = 15 * e^{-15}[/tex]

So:

[tex]P(X\le 1) = e^{-15} + 15 * e^{-15}[/tex]

[tex]P(X\le 1) = 0.00000489443[/tex]

[tex]P(X\le 1) = 0.0000049[/tex]

The answer to number 7: 140.673538 rad

Step-by-step explanation:

For number 6: To find area, it is length times width times height. In this case, the length is 7.2. The width is 8. The height is 4.

So length (7.2) times width (8) times height (4).

7.2 times 8 is 57.6

57.6 times 4 is 230.4

For number 7: To find the area it is length times width times height. In this case, the length is 62°. The width is 13. The height is 10.

So length (62°) times width (13) times height (10).

62° times 13 is 14.0673538 rad

14.0673538 rad times 10 is 140.673538 rad

= 8 : 1 : : 152 : x

We know that,

8 * x = 1 * 152

8x = 152

x = 152/8
