The score on an exam from a certain MAT 112 class, X, is normally distributed with μ=78.1 and σ=10.8.

NOTE: Assume for the sake of this problem that the score is a continuous variable. A score can thus take on any value on the continuum. (In real life, scores are often treated as if they were continuous values but are actually discrete in most cases.)

(a) Write the event ''a score less than 67.1'' in terms of X:
.

(b) Find the probability of this event:
(c) Find the probability that a randomly chosen score is greater than 89.1:
.

(d) Find the probability that a randomly chosen score is between 67.1 and 89.1:

Answers

Answer 1

a) [tex]X<67.1[/tex]

b) 0.1539

c) 0.1539

d) 0.6922

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

In this problem, the score on the exam is normally distributed with the following parameters:

[tex]\mu=78.1[/tex] (mean)

[tex]\sigma = 10.8[/tex] (standard deviation)

We call X the name of the variable (the score obtained in the exam).

Therefore, the event "a student obtains a score less than 67.1) means that the variable X has a value less than 67.1. Mathematically, this means that we are asking for:

[tex]X<67.1[/tex]

And the probability for this to occur can be written as:

[tex]p(X<67.1)[/tex]

b)

To find the probability of X to be less than 67.1, we have to calculate the area under the standardized normal distribution (so, with mean 0 and standard deviation 1) between [tex]z=-\infty[/tex] and [tex]z=Z[/tex], where Z is the z-score corresponding to X = 67.1 on the s tandardized normal distribution.

The z-score corresponding to 67.1 is:

[tex]Z=\frac{67.1-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{67.1-78.1}{10.8}=-1.02[/tex]

Therefore, the probability that X < 67.1 is equal to the probability that z < -1.02 on the standardized normal distribution:

[tex]p(X<67.1)=p(z<-1.02)[/tex]

And by looking at the z-score tables, we find that this probability is:

[tex]p(z<-1.02)=0.1539[/tex]

And so,

[tex]p(X<67.1)=0.1539[/tex]

c)

Here we want to find the probability that a randomly chosen score is greater than 89.1, so

[tex]p(X>89.1)[/tex]

First of all, we have to calculate the z-score corresponding to this value of X, which is:

[tex]Z=\frac{89.1-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{89.1-78.1}{10.8}=1.02[/tex]

Then we notice that the z-score tables give only the area on the left of the values on the left of the mean (0), so we have to use the following symmetry property:

[tex]p(z>1.02) =p(z<-1.02)[/tex]

Because the normal distribution is symmetric.

But from part b) we know that

[tex]p(z<-1.02)=0.1539[/tex]

Therefore:

[tex]p(X>89.1)=p(z>1.02)=0.1539[/tex]

d)

Here we want to find the probability that the randomly chosen score is between 67.1 and 89.1, which can be written as

[tex]p(67.1<X<89.1)[/tex]

Or also as

[tex]p(67.1<X<89.1)=1-p(X<67.1)-p(X>89.1)[/tex]

Since the overall probability under the whole distribution must be 1.

From part b) and c) we know that:

[tex]p(X<67.1)=0.1539[/tex]

[tex]p(X>89.1)=0.1539[/tex]

Therefore, here we find immediately than:

[tex]p(67.1<X<89.1)=1-0.1539-0.1539=0.6922[/tex]

For the following exercises, use the table of values that represent points on the graph of a quadratic function. By determining the vertex and axis of symmetry, find the general form of the equation of the quadratic function.

Answers

Answer:

y = x² + 2x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Same y value at x = -2 & x = 0

So line of symmetry is at:

x = (-2+0)/2

x = -1

Vertex: (-1,0)

y = a(x - -1)² + 0

y = a(x + 1)²

At x = 1, y = 4

4 = a(1 + 1)²

4 = 4a

a = 1

y = (x + 1)²

y = x² + 2x + 1

The general form of the equation of the quadratic function is x² + 2x + 1

The formula expressing the equation of the quadratic function will be expressed as:

y = a(x -h)² + k

From the table shown, we can see that the y-values are the same at where x = -2 and 0

Get the line of symmetry:

[tex]x =\frac{-2+0}{2}\\x=\frac{-2}{2} \\x=-1[/tex]

We can see that when x = -1, y = 0. Hence the vertex will be at (-1, 0)

h = -1

k = 0

Substitute into the formula y = a(x -h)² + k

y = a(x -(-1))² + 0

y = a(x+1)²

From the table at where x = 1, y = 4. On substituting to get "a" we have:

4 = a(1+1)²

4 = 4a

a = 1

Get the required quadratic function by substituting the parameters into the general formula as shown:

y = a(x -h)² + k

y = 1(x +1)² + 0

y = (x+1)²

y = (x+1) (x+1)

y = x² + x +x + 1

y = x² + 2x + 1

Hence the general form of the equation of the quadratic function is x² + 2x + 1

A bus with kids and a truck with their bags started moving from the school to the camp at the same time. The speed of the bus was 60 mph. The speed of the truck was 45 mph. It took kids 3 hours to reach the camp. How long did they have to wait for their bags?

Answers

The kids have to wait for 1 hour to get their bags.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

A bus with kids and a truck with their bags started moving from the school to the camp at the same time.

The speed of the bus was 60 mph.It took kids 3 hours to reach the camp.

To find the distance traveled by the bus :

Distance = Speed × Time

⇒ 60 × 3

⇒ 180 m

∴ The distance is 180 m.

To find the time taken by the truck to reach the camp :

The speed of the truck was 45 mph.We found the distance as 180 m.

Time taken = distance / speed.

⇒ 180 / 45

⇒ 4 hours.

∴ The time taken by the truck to reach the camp is 4 hours.

To find how long the kids have to wait for their bags :

The time taken by the truck to reach the camp - the time it took for the kids to arrive.

⇒ 4 hours - 3 hours

⇒ 1 hour.

∴ The kids have to wait for 1 hour to get their bags.

The bus traveled 180 miles to the camp in 3 hours at 60 mph, while the truck took 4 hours at 45 mph to cover the same distance. Hence, the kids had to wait 1 hour for their bags to arrive.

Travel Time and Waiting Time

To determine how long the kids had to wait for their bags, we need to calculate the time it took for the truck to reach the camp.

The bus travels at a speed of 60 mph and it took the kids 3 hours to reach the camp. The distance to the camp can be calculated using the formula:

Distance = Speed × TimeTherefore, the distance is 60 mph × 3 hours = 180 miles.

Next, we calculate the time it took for the truck, traveling at 45 mph, to cover the same distance:

Time = Distance / SpeedThus, the truck's travel time is 180 miles / 45 mph = 4 hours.Since the kids took 3 hours to reach the camp and the truck took 4 hours, the kids had to wait for:4 hours - 3 hours = 1 hour.

Therefore, the kids had to wait for 1 hour for their bags to arrive.

The cruising speed of the bullet train will be at least 170 miles per hour. Use s to represent the train's cruising speed (in miles per hour). Write an inequality to represent the situation

Answers

Answer:

s ≥ 170

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem raises the following statement: "The cruising speed of the bullet train will be at least 170 miles per hour"

Which means that the train has a speed of 170 miles for now or higher, knowing this we can pose the inequality.

Knowing that "s" is the train's cruising speed (in miles per hour), we have to:

s ≥ 170

This would be the inequality that the statement represents.

The inequality representing the bullet train's cruising speed being at least 170 miles per hour is s ≥ 170.

The situation described involves finding an inequality for the train's cruising speed. To represent the train's cruising speed in miles per hour, we use the variable s.

Given that the cruising speed of the bullet train will be at least 170 miles per hour, we need an inequality that expresses this condition.

The inequality is:

s ≥ 170

This means that the cruising speed s can be 170 miles per hour or higher.

Answers

Final answer:

The length of arc QS in circle R is approximately 22.9 units. This is determined by using the formula for arc length in a circle, which is the radius times the angle (in radians). The angle was first converted from degrees to radians.

Explanation:

To find the length of arc QS in circle R, we need to use the formula for the arc length. The arc length of a circle is given by the formula Length = radius * angle (in radians). The angle is provided as 82 degrees, and the radius QR is given as 16 units.

First, we need to convert the angle from degrees to radians. We use the formula: radians = degrees * (π / 180). Hence, 82 degrees is approximately 1.43117 radians.

Now, let's substitute our values into the formula. Length = 16 units * 1.43117 radians.

Hence, the arc length of QS is approximately 22.9 units when rounded to the nearest hundredth.

Josie found a small bird bath at a garage sale. The bird bath has a circular opening with a radius of 10 cm, as shown in the diagram below. Using 3.14 for pi, Josie calculates that the water in the small bird bath has 314 cm2 of surface area. Josie lives in a wooded area with lots of birds, so she plans to use the bird bath she found as a scale model to build a much larger bird bath. If she doubles the dimensions of the scale model, how many square centimeters of surface area will the larger bird bath have for bathing?

Answers

Answer: 1256cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Final answer:

When Josie doubles the radius of the bird bath to build a larger one, the new surface area will be 1256 cm², as surface area quadruples when doubling the radius of a circle.

Explanation:

Josie calculated that the surface area of her small bird bath with a radius of 10 cm is 314 cm^2. If she doubles the dimensions for a larger bird bath, the new radius will be 20 cm. To find the surface area of the larger bird bath, we use the formula for the area of a circle, A = πr².

Plugging in the new radius:

A = 3.14 × (20 cm)^2

A = 3.14 × 400 cm^2

A = 1256 cm2

This means the surface area for the larger bird bath Josie plans to build will have 1256 cm^2 for bird bathing. This calculation demonstrates how the surface area of a circle quadruples when the radius is doubled, which is consistent with the principle that surface area scales with the square of the dimension changes.
