Composite scores on the ACT are normally distributed with a mean of 21 and a standard deviation of 5. find the Z score for a student that gets a 31

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]Z = 2[/tex]

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 of 21 and a standard deviation of 5.

This means that [tex]\mu = 21, \sigma = 5[/tex]

Find the Z score for a student that gets a 31

This is Z when X = 31. So

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

[tex]Z = \frac{31 - 21}{5}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2[/tex]

. Do the data provide sufficient evidence to indicate a difference in the mean stopping distances of the two types of automobiles? Give the attained significance level.

Answers

Answer:

The data provide sufficient evidence to indicate a difference in the mean stopping distances of the two types of automobiles

Step-by-step explanation:

Formulate the null and alternate hypothesis as

H0: u1= u2  against the claim Ha: u1≠ u2

The data given is

y`1=118,    y`2=109     s21=102,   s22=87

The test statistic used is t= y1`- y2`/ Sp√1/n1+ 1/n2

n1= n2= 64

And

Sp² = (n1-1) s12 + (n2-1) s22 / n1+n2-2

Sp² = 63*102+6*87/64+64-2

Sp² = 94.5

Sp= 9.7211

Putting the values in the test statistic

t= 118-108/9.7211√1/64+1/64

t= 5.237

Now finding the value of t at ∝=0.01 for two tailed test

t( 126,0.005)= ±2.6154

At alpha= 0.01  the null hypothesis is rejected.

Now finding the value of t at ∝=0.05 for two tailed test

t( 126,0.025)= ±1.979

Even at alpha= 0.05 the null hypothesis is rejected.

Also at alpha= 0.05 the null hypothesis is rejected because the critical value is  ±1.657

Hence it is concluded that the data provide sufficient evidence to indicate a difference in the mean stopping distances of the two types of automobiles


A rocket is launched from a tower. The height of the rocket, y in feet, is related to the
time after launch, x in seconds, by the given equation. Using this equation, find the
time that the rocket will hit the ground, to the nearest 100th of second.
y = -16x^2+ 181x + 59

Answers

Answer:

The rocket will hit the ground after about 11.63 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

A rocket is launched from a tower. Its height y in feet after x seconds is modeled by the equation:

[tex]y=-16x^2+181x+59[/tex]

We want to determine the time at which the rocket will hit the ground.

If it hits the ground, its height y above the ground will be 0. So, we can set y = 0 and solve for x:

[tex]0=-16x^2+181x+59[/tex]

Solve the quadratic. Factoring is too tedious or impossible, and completing the square is also very tedious. So, we can use the quadratic formula:

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

In this case, a = -16, b = 181, and c = 59. Substitute:

[tex]\displaystyle x=\frac{-(181)\pm\sqrt{(181)^2-4(-16)(59)}}{2(-16)}[/tex]

Evaluate:

[tex]\displaystyle x=\frac{-181\pm\sqrt{36537}}{-32}[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]\displaystyle x=\frac{181\pm\sqrt{36537}}{32}[/tex]

Hence, our solutions are:

[tex]\displaystyle x=\frac{181+\sqrt{36537}}{32}\approx 11.63\text{ or } x=\frac{181-\sqrt{36537}}{32}\approx-0.32[/tex]

Since time cannot be negative, we can ignore the second solution.

So, the rocket will hit the ground after about 11.63 seconds.

Find the total surface area of the solid below. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.
x= 11.6, y = 6.3, and z = 15.5

Answers

Answer:

494.16 units²

Step-by-step explanation:

Total surface area of the solid = 4(area of a triangular face) + area of the square base

Area of a triangular face = ½*b*h

b = x = 11.6

h = z = 15.5

Area = ½*11.6*15.5 = 89.9 units²

Area of the four triangular faces = 4(89.9) = 359.6 units²

Area of the square base = s²

s = x = 11.6

Area = 11.6²

Area = 134.56 units²

✔️Total surface area of the solid = 359.6 + 134.56 = 494.16 units²

NO LINKS TO FILES OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  about 15 or 16 items

Step-by-step explanation:

The break-even point is where revenue is equal to cost.

  150x = 7x +2200

  143x = 2200 . . . . . . . subtract 7x

  x ≈ 15.38 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 143 (multiply by the inverse of 143)

When 15 items are sold, revenue doesn't quite cover costs. Costs still exceed revenue by 55. When 16 items are sold, revenue exceeds costs by 95. (I would call this the break-even point, because I prefer a slight profit over a slight loss.)

Subtract 40° from each side

x = 90° - 40°

x = 50°

Problem 1

Answers:

It costs 1.72 dollars to send a letter that is 1.5 ounces

It costs 1.72 dollars   to send a letter that is 2 ounces

In short, both answers are  1.72 dollars

--------------------------------

Explanation:

The piecewise function may seem really ugly and complicated, and I can understand why many don't like them, but they aren't too bad once you get used to it.

A piecewise function is simply a collection of many functions glued together. Instead of listing four different functions, your teacher has combined them all into one super function of sorts.

Here are the rules for this function

If [tex]0 < w \le 1[/tex], then F(w) = 1.15If [tex]1 < w \le 2[/tex], then F(w) = 1.72If [tex]2 < w \le 3[/tex], then F(w) = 2.29If [tex]3 < w \le 3.5[/tex], then F(w) = 2.86

As you can see, the definition of F(w) will change depending on what w is.

If the weight is w = 1.5 ounces, then we're on the interval [tex]1 < w \le 2[/tex] since 1.5 is between 1 and 2. So we go for the second definition shown above and we conclude that it will cost $1.72 to send this 1.5 ounce letter.

If you wanted, you could rewrite those four bulleted points into this equivalent form

If [tex]0 < w \le 1[/tex], then the cost is $1.15 to send the letterIf [tex]1 < w \le 2[/tex], then the cost is $1.72 to send the letterIf [tex]2 < w \le 3[/tex], then the cost is $2.29 to send the letterIf [tex]2 < w \le 3.5[/tex], then the cost is $2.86 to send the letter

which is a less mathematical way of stating it. It might also help to make it into a chart, which would help customers better who may not want to deal with math.

A letter that's 2 ounces will cost $1.72 as well since w = 2 makes [tex]1 < w \le 2[/tex] true.

In short, both the 1.5 ounce and 2 ounce letters cost $1.72 each.

Problem 2

Answer: The graph is shown below (attached image)

--------------------------------

Explanation:

We have what is called a step function, or a staircase function. Either name will work. The graph consists of the horizontal portion of the stairs, but the vertical parts of the stairs are not drawn (or else we wouldn't have a function due to the vertical line test).

Note the placement of the open and closed endpoints. An open endpoint excludes the value in question, while a closed endpoint includes the value.

For instance, we have an open endpoint at (1, 1.72) while there's a closed endpoint at (1, 1.15). Each closed endpoint is directly connected to the "or equal to" portion of the inequality sign, and each open endpoint does not have the "or equal to" portion.

As the graph shows, we basically have the a certain flat cost for the four different regions. This corresponds to the costs given in the piecewise function. Each height is drawn from the list {1.15, 1.72, 2.29, 2.86}

The point labels of A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H are optional. I only put them in there to help identify which endpoints are open or closed. Points on the left side of each segment, or horizontal stair component, are open endpoints. Points on the right side are closed endpoints.

Step-by-step explanation:

You put a circle above the number used in the inequality.

The circle is closed if the inequality is greater than or equal to, or less than or equal to. This indicates that the number is included.

The circle is open if the inequality is greater than, or less than. This indicates that the number is not included.

The arrow goes to the left if it is less than, and to the right if it is greater than.

So, for your problem, an open circle goes about the number 4 and points left.

There are three angles to choose from since there are three angles in a triangle. Of these, the 90° angle can't be used (90° angles don't work with trigonometric ratios), and neither can the 44° (we're told to use a different one from this), so we're left with the unmarked angle on the bottom right. Since the angles in a triangle add to 180, and the other two angles total 134 (90+44=134), we can say this angle is 46°.

Since cos46 is our only option that involves this angle (and since cos46=x/9), this is the option which could be used to find x.

Fitness can be measured by the rate of oxygen consumption during exercises with more fit people having higher rates. Unfortunately, this measurement is quite costly to obtain, and so an experiment was done to see if this measurement could be predicted from the time it takes (in minutes) to run 1500 m. The following computer output was obtained. Which of the following is NOT CORRECT?

a. For every additional minute it takes to run the 1500 m the estimated oxygen consumption rate decreases by 3.31.
b. The fitted regression line is approximately Y = 82.42(runtime)
c. A person who runs 1500 m in 10 minutes would have an estimated oxygen consumption rate of about 50.
d. There is good evidence that there is a relationship between oxygen consumption and the run time.
e. The slope is 82.42.

Answers

Answer:

b. The fitted regression line is approximately Y = 82.42(runtime)

Step-by-step explanation:

The regression line is Y=  aX + b

here b= 82.42   a = -3.31

Hence the regression equation is

Y= 82.42- 3.31 X

where x is the runtime and the slope  is given by b.

Option  a is correct because from the above equation we see that for every additional minute it takes to run the 1500 m the estimated oxygen consumption rate decreases by 3.31.

Option b is incorrect because the runtime is not given by Y it is given by X.

Option C is correct  as  

Y= 82.42-3.31*10

Y= 82.42-33.1

Y= 49.32  almost 50

Option d is also correct that the equation line shows a relationship between oxygen consumption and the run time.

Option e is also correct because the slope is given by b and b= 82.42
