Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]Mean = 4[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]f(x) =\left \{ {{\frac{c}{x^3} \ x\ge 2} \atop {0\ x<2}} \right.[/tex]

Required

The mean of x

Given that:

[tex]f(x) = \frac{c}{x^3}[/tex]     [tex]x \ge 2[/tex]

First, solve for c using;

[tex]\int\limits^a_b {f(x)} \, dx = 1[/tex]

Substitute [tex]f(x) = \frac{c}{x^3}[/tex] and [tex]x \ge 2[/tex]

[tex]\int\limits^{\infty}_2 {\frac{c}{x^3}} \, dx = 1[/tex]

Isolate c

[tex]c\int\limits^{\infty}_2 {\frac{1}{x^3}} \, dx = 1[/tex]

Rewrite as:

[tex]c\int\limits^{\infty}_2 {x^{-3}} \, dx = 1[/tex]

[tex]c[\frac{x^{-3+1}}{-3 +1}]|\limits^{\infty}_2 = 1[/tex]

[tex]c[\frac{x^{-2}}{-2}]|\limits^{\infty}_2 = 1[/tex]

[tex]-\frac{c}{2} [x^{-2}]|\limits^{\infty}_2 = 1[/tex]

Expand

[tex]-\frac{c}{2} [{\infty}^{-2} - {2}^{-2}]= 1[/tex]

[tex]-\frac{c}{2} [0 - \frac{1}{4}]= 1[/tex]

[tex]-\frac{c}{2} *- \frac{1}{4}= 1[/tex]

[tex]\frac{c}{8}= 1[/tex]

Solve for c

[tex]x = 8 * 1[/tex]

[tex]x = 8[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]f(x) = \frac{c}{x^3}[/tex]     [tex]x \ge 2[/tex]

[tex]f(x) = \frac{8}{x^3}[/tex]     [tex]x \ge 2[/tex]

So, the mean is calculated as:

[tex]Mean = \int\limits^a_b {x * f(x)} \, dx[/tex]

This gives;

[tex]Mean = \int\limits^{\infty}_2 {x * \frac{8}{x^3}} \, dx[/tex]

[tex]Mean = \int\limits^{\infty}_2 {\frac{8}{x^2}} \, dx[/tex]

[tex]Mean = 8\int\limits^{\infty}_2 {\frac{1}{x^2}} \, dx[/tex]

Rewrite as:

[tex]Mean = 8\int\limits^{\infty}_2 {x^{-2} \, dx[/tex]

Integrate

[tex]Mean = 8 {\frac{x^{-2+1}}{-2+1}|\limits^{\infty}_2[/tex]

[tex]Mean = 8 {\frac{x^{-1}}{-1}}|\limits^{\infty}_2[/tex]

[tex]Mean = -8x^{-1}|\limits^{\infty}_2[/tex]

Expand

[tex]Mean = -8[(\infty)^{-1} - 2^{-1}][/tex]

[tex]Mean = -8[0 - \frac{1}{2}][/tex]

[tex]Mean = -8* - \frac{1}{2}[/tex]

[tex]Mean = 8* \frac{1}{2}[/tex]

[tex]Mean = 4[/tex]

As an avid golfer, you want to estimate your average score for 18 holes of golf. Suppose you know that the standard deviation of your score is 16.425 strokes and you want to find a sample mean that is within 5.947 strokes of your true average for all rounds of golf with 90% confidence. How many rounds would you need to play to determine this

Answers

Answer:

21

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

The holes of golf is 18

The standard deviation of the score is 16.425 strokes

The sample mean is 5.947

And, there is 90% confidence

We need to find out the number of rounds

So,

At 90% confidence interval, the critical value is +/- 1.645

Margin of error = 5.947

Z_0.05 × SD/sqrt (n) = 5.947

1.645 × 16.425/sqrt (n) = 5.947

sqrt(n) = 1.645 × 16.425 ÷ 5.947

sqrt(n) = 4.54

Brayden saves $1,500 at a yearly simple interest rate of 2.5%. How many years
does it take for the amount he has saved to be double the original amount.

Answers

Answer:

40 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

The simple interest formula is given by:

[tex]E = P*I*t[/tex]

In which E is the amount of interest earned, P is the principal(the initial amount of money), I is the interest rate(yearly, as a decimal) and t is the time.

Brayden saves $1,500 at a yearly simple interest rate of 2.5%.

This means that [tex]P = 1500, I = 0.025[/tex]

How many years does it take for the amount he has saved to be double the original amount?

This will happen when the earned money is the principal, that is, E = 1500. So

[tex]E = P*I*t[/tex]

[tex]1500 = 1500*(0.025)*t[/tex]

[tex]t = \frac{1}{0.025}[/tex]

[tex]t = 40[/tex]

40 years.

Answer: $0.05

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean of a given set of numbers simply means that one should find the average of the numbers. Therefore, the mean change of the stock prices will be:

= ($1.25 + -$0.75 + $1.25 + -$0.75 + -$0.75) / 5

= $0.25 / 5

= $0.05

The sample survey showed that 67% of internet users said the internet has generally strengthened their relationship with family and friends. Develop a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of respondents who say the internet has strengthened their relationship with family and friends. (Round your answers to four decimal places.)

Answers

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the proportion of respondents who say the internet has strengthened their relationship with family and friends is [tex](0.67 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.67*0.33}{n}}, 0.67 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.67*0.33}{n}})[/tex], in which n is the size of the sample.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of [tex]\pi[/tex], and a confidence level of [tex]1-\alpha[/tex], we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

[tex]\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

In which

z is the z-score that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}[/tex].

67% of internet users said the internet has generally strengthened their relationship with family and friends.

This means that [tex]\pi = 0.67[/tex]

95% confidence level

So [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975[/tex], so [tex]Z = 1.96[/tex].

The lower limit of this interval is:

[tex]\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.67 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.67*0.33}{n}}[/tex]

The upper limit of this interval is:

[tex]\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.67 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.67*0.33}{n}}[/tex]

The 95% confidence interval for the proportion of respondents who say the internet has strengthened their relationship with family and friends is [tex](0.67 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.67*0.33}{n}}, 0.67 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.67*0.33}{n}})[/tex], in which n is the size of the sample.

Answer A and Answer B.​

Answers

Answer:

Approximately 92

Step-by-step explanation:

Using technology, the linear regression model obtained by fitting the data points is:

Y = 0.0914X1 - 0.3741

Where x = test score ; y = average sleep

Slope = 0.0914 ; intercept = - 0.3741

The test score of a student that sleeps 8 hours

y = 8

8 = 0.0914X1 - 0.3741

8 + 0.3741 = 0.0914X1

X = 8.3741 / 0.0914

X = 91.62

A cylindrical package to be sent by a postal service can have a maximum combined length and girth (perimeter of a cross section) of 141 inches. Find the dimensions of the package of maximum volume that can be sent. (The cross section is circular.)
radius = ? in.
length = ? in.

Answers

Answer:

radius r = 47/π in

length l = 23.5 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us recall that:

Volume of a cylinder = [tex]\pi r^2 h[/tex] --- (1)

The girth g = [tex]2 \pi r + h[/tex]      ----- (2)

Given that:

height (h) + girth (g) = 141

Then g = 141 - h   ----- (3)

Equating equation (2) and (3), we have:

141 - h = 2πr + h

2h = 141 - 2πr

h = 70.5 - πr      ------ (4)

From, here now, we can now replace the value of h into equation (1)

i.e.

V = πr²(70.5 - πr)

V = 70.5πr² -  π²r³

Taking the differential of the above equation with respect to r, we have:

[tex]\dfrac{dv}{dr} = 141 \pi r- 3\pi ^2 r^2[/tex]

By further differentiation:

[tex]\dfrac{d^2v}{dr^2} = 141 \pi - 6\pi ^2 r[/tex]

Let set [tex]\dfrac{dv}{dr}= 0[/tex], Then:

141πr - 3π²r² = 0

141πr = 3π²r²

Divide both sides by πr

141 = 3πr

r = 141/3π

r = 47/π in

Replacing the value of r = 47/π into equation (4), we have:

h = 70.5 - πr

h = 70.5 - π(47/π)

h = 70.5 - 47

h = 23.5 in

From equation (3);

h + g = 141

23.5 + g = 141

g = 141 - 23.5

g = 117.5 in

Volume = πr²h

V = π × (47/π )² × 23.5

V = 16523.94 in³
