estimated the mean and standard deviation of the sampling distribution to be 4.9 letters and 0.15 letter, respectively.
Based on the estimates for the sampling distribution, which of the following provides the best estimates of the population parameters?

Mopeds (small motorcycles with an engine capacity below 50 cm^3) are very popular in Europe because of their mobility, ease of operation, and low cost. Suppose the maximum speed of a moped is normally distributed with mean value 46.8 km/h and standard deviation 1.75 km/h. Consider randomly selecting a single such moped.

Required:
a. What is the probability that maximum speed is at most 49 km/h?
b. What is the probability that maximum speed is at least 48 km/h?
c. What is the probability that maximum speed differs from the mean value by at most 2.5 standard deviations?

Answers

Answer:

a) 0.1038 = 10.38% probability that maximum speed is at most 49 km/h

b) 0.2451 = 24.51% probability that maximum speed is at least 48 km/h

c) 0.9876 = 98.76% probability that maximum speed differs from the mean value by at most 2.5 standard deviations

Step-by-step explanation:

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.

Mean value 46.8 km/h and standard deviation 1.75 km/h.

This means that [tex]\mu = 46.8, \sigma = 1.75[/tex]

a. What is the probability that maximum speed is at most 49 km/h?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 49. So

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

[tex]Z = \frac{49 - 46.8}{1.75}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.26[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.26[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.8962

1 - 0.8962 = 0.1038

0.1038 = 10.38% probability that maximum speed is at most 49 km/h.

b. What is the probability that maximum speed is at least 48 km/h?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 48. So

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

[tex]Z = \frac{48 - 46.8}{1.75}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.69[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.69[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.7549

1 - 0.7549 = 0.2451

0.2451 = 24.51% probability that maximum speed is at least 48 km/h.

c. What is the probability that maximum speed differs from the mean value by at most 2.5 standard deviations?

Zscores between Z = -2.5 and Z = 2.5, which is the pvalue of Z = 2.5 subtracted by the pvalue of Z = -2.5

Z = 2.5 has a pvalue of 0.9938

Z = -2.5 has a pvalue of 0.0062

0.9938 - 0.0062 = 0.9876

0.9876 = 98.76% probability that maximum speed differs from the mean value by at most 2.5 standard deviations

Length of the arc = theta/360 * 2πr

r is the radius = 1ft

theta = 125 degrees

Substitute into the formula

Length of the arc = 125/360 * 2(3.14)* 1

Length of the arc = 785/360

Length of the arc  = 2.18ft

What is a quadratic equation?

A quadratic equation is an equation whose leading coefficient is of second degree also the equation has only one unknown while it has 3 unknown numbers. It is written in the form of ax²+bx+c.

The roots of a quadratic equation can be found using the formula,

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

Given the quadratic equation 3x²-x+5 = 0. Comparing it with the general quadratic equation the value of a, b, and c will be 3, -1, and 5.

Now, if we substitute the values in the formula of the roots of the quadratic equation,

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

[tex]x = \dfrac{-(-1) \pm \sqrt{(-1)^2 - 4(3)(5)}}{2(3)}\\\\[/tex]

x = (1±√-59)/6

x = (1+√-59)/6, (1-√-59)/6

A private lake sells boating memberships and currently has 600 members. During the application process the potential members are asked which recreational activity they do the most. Their choices are fishing, skiing, boarding, swimming, or tubing. The lake manager chooses clients according to their interests to maximize the use of all areas of the lake. Every month, the lake rangers randomly sample the boats on the lake and categorize them according to the activity they are doing. The lake manager performs a chi-square goodness-of-fit test using the following null hypothesis to see whether their samples differ significantly from what the original applications claim.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

using the given null hypothesis to check if the samples differ from originally values

given that:  frequency ( f ) ≥ 5

N = 600

hence : n * 0.11 ≥ 5

therefore : n ≥ 45.45

next : also  n / N ≤ 0. 10

therefore: n  ≤  0.1 * 600
