A particular employee arrives at work sometime between 8:00 a.m. and 8:30 a.m. Based on past experience the company has determined that the employee is equally likely to arrive at any time between 8:00 a.m. and 8:30 a.m. Find the probability that the employee will arrive between 8:15 a.m. and 8:25 a.m. Round your answer to four decimal places, if necessary.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

0.3333 = 33.33% probability that the employee will arrive between 8:15 a.m. and 8:25 a.m.

Step-by-step explanation:

A distribution is called uniform if each outcome has the same probability of happening.

The uniform distributon has two bounds, a and b, and the probability of finding a value between c and d is given by:

[tex]P(c \leq X \leq d) = \frac{d - c}{b - a}[/tex]

A particular employee arrives at work sometime between 8:00 a.m. and 8:30 a.m.

We can consider 8 am = 0, and 8:30 am  = 30, so [tex]a = 0, b = 30[/tex]

Find the probability that the employee will arrive between 8:15 a.m. and 8:25 a.m.

Between 15 and 25, so:

[tex]P(15 \leq X \leq 25) = \frac{25 - 15}{30 - 0} = 0.3333[/tex]

0.3333 = 33.33% probability that the employee will arrive between 8:15 a.m. and 8:25 a.m.

Jana paid an initial fee of $75 to join a fitness gym. She pays $15 per month for her membership. How many months did she have the membership if she spent a total of $255.

asap ill give brainlyist

Answers

Answer:

12 months

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up a formula; 75 + 15x = 255

Now, solve for x, which is number of months.

subtract 75 from both sides.

15x = 180

divide both sides by 15.

x = 12

x is equal to 12 - she would have had to have the subscription for 12 months to spend 255$.

Identify the key features of these functions:

f(x) = 3(x + 5)2 − 10

g(x) = 200(0.95)x

h(x) = -0.25(x + 3)(x − 1)

The vertex of f(x) is at
. The function g(x) is decreasing at a rate of
%. The zeros of h(x) are at
and
.

Answers

Answer:

The vertex of f(x) is at (-5,-10).

The function g(x) is decreasing at a rate of 5%.

The zeros of h(x) are at x = -3 and x = 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertex of a quadratic function:

Suppose we have a quadratic function in the following format:

[tex]f(x) = ax^{2} + bx + c[/tex]

It's vertex is the point [tex](x_{v}, f(x_{v})[/tex]

In which

[tex]x_{v} = -\frac{b}{2a}[/tex]

If a<0, the vertex is a maximum point, that is, the maximum value happens at [tex]x_{v}[/tex], and it's value is [tex]f(x_{v})[/tex]

Decaying exponential function:

A decaying exponential function has the following format:

[tex]A(x) = A(0)(1-r)^{x}[/tex]

In which A(0) is the initial quantity and r is the decay rate.

Zeros of a function:

Given a polynomial f(x), this polynomial has roots [tex]x_{1}, x_{2}, x_{n}[/tex] such that it can be written as: [tex]a(x - x_{1})*(x - x_{2})*...*(x-x_n)[/tex], in which a is the leading coefficient.

Vertex of f:

The function f is given by:

[tex]3(x+5)^2 - 10[/tex]

Expanding the calculations to place at the correct format:

[tex]3(x+5)^2 - 10 = 3(x^2 + 10x + 25) - 10 = 3x^2 + 30x + 75 - 10 = 3x^2 + 30x + 65[/tex]

Which means that

[tex]a = 3, b = 30, c = 65[/tex]

The x-value of the vertex is:

[tex]x_{v} = -\frac{30}{2*3} = -5[/tex]

The y-value of the vertex is:

[tex]f(-5) = 3(-5+5)^2 - 10 = -10[/tex]

The vertex of f(x) is at (-5,-10).

Decreasing rate of g(x).

We have that:

1 - r = 0.95

So

r = 1 - 0.95 = 0.05

Which means that the decreasing rate is of 5%.

The zeros of h(x) are

The zeros are

x + 3 = 0 -> x = -3

x - 1 = 0 -> x = 1

So

The zeros of h(x) are at x = -3 and x = 1.

y - 4 = (1/3)(x - 9)  or x - 3y = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we're told that the slope is 1/3 and that (9, 4) is a point on the line.  Use the point-slope formula  y - k = m(x - h).  Substitute 4 for k, 9 for h and 1/3 for m:

y - 4 = (1/3)(x - 9)  (point-slope formula)

3y - 12 = x - 9  (standard form of the same equation) = >

     -12 + 9 = x - 3y, or x - 3y = -3 (standard form)

An experiment on the teaching of reading compares two methods, A and B. The response variable is the Degree of Reading Power (DRP) score. The experimenter uses Method A in a class of 100 students and Method B in a comparable class of 100 students. Students are assigned to the two classes at random. Suppose that in the population of all children of this age the DRP score has the N(75, 30) distribution if Method A is used and the N(74, 40) distribution if Method B is used. Let us call the mean DRP score for 100 students in the A group. Let us call the mean DRP score for 100 students in the B group ý.

Required:
What is the probability that the mean score for the B group will be at least five points higher than the mean score for the A group?

Answers

Answer:

0% probability that the mean score for the B group will be at least five points higher than the mean score for the A group

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution, the central limit theorem, and subtraction of normal variables:

Normal probability distribution

When the distribution is normal, we use 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.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

Subtraction of normal variables:

When we subtract two normal variables, the mean is the subtraction of the mean of each variable, while the standard deviation is the square root of the sum of each variance.

Method A:

One student: N(75,30), so [tex]\mu = 75, \sigma = 30[/tex]

Samples of 100 students: [tex]n = 100, s = \frac{30}{\sqrt{100}} = 0.3[/tex]

Method B:

One student: N(74,40), so [tex]\mu = 74, \sigma = 40[/tex]

Samples of 100 students: [tex]n = 100, s = \frac{40}{\sqrt{100}} = 0.4[/tex]

What is the probability that the mean score for the B group will be at least five points higher than the mean score for the A group?

This is the probability that B - A >= 5. So

[tex]\mu_{B-A} = \mu_B - \mu_A = 74 - 75 = -1[/tex]

[tex]s_{B-A} = \sqrt{s_A^{2}+S_B^{2}} = \sqrt{(0.3)^2+(0.4)^2} = 0.5[/tex]

We have to find 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 5. So

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

[tex]Z = \frac{5 - (-1)}{0.5}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 12[/tex]

[tex]Z = 12[/tex] has a pvalue of 1

1 - 1 = 0, so

0% probability that the mean score for the B group will be at least five points higher than the mean score for the A group
