Porphyrin is a pigment in blood protoplasm and other body fluids that is significant in body energy and storage. Let x be a random variable that represents the number of milligrams of porphyrin per deciliter of blood. In healthy circles, x is approximately normally distributed with mean µ = 43 and standard deviation σ = 15. Find the following probabilities. (Round your answers to four decimal places.)

a. x is less than 60
b. x is greater than 16
c. x is between 16 and 60
d. x is more than 60

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) 0.8708 = 87.08% probability that x is less than 60

b) 0.9641 = 96.41% probability that x is greater than 16.

c) 0.8349 = 83.49% probability that x is between 16 and 60

d) 0.1292 = 12.92% probability that x is more than 60.

Step-by-step explanation:

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.

In this question, we have that:

[tex]\mu = 43, \sigma = 15[/tex]

a. x is less than 60

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 60. So

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

[tex]Z = \frac{60 - 43}{15}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.13[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.13[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.8708

0.8708 = 87.08% probability that x is less than 60

b. x is greater than 16

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 16. So

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

[tex]Z = \frac{16 - 43}{15}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.8[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.8[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.0359

1 - 0.0359 = 0.9641

0.9641 = 96.41% probability that x is greater than 16.

c. x is between 16 and 60

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 60 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 16. We found those in a and b, si:

0.8708 - 0.0359 = 0.8349

0.8349 = 83.49% probability that x is between 16 and 60

d. x is more than 60

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 60.

So

1 - 0.8708 = 0.1292

0.1292 = 12.92% probability that x is more than 60.

The degree of the polynomial function f(x) is 3.
The roots of the equation f(x) = 0 are - 1,0, and 4
Which graph could be the graph of f(x)?

Answers

Answer: Top right corner

This graph shows a curve going through x = -1, x = 0 and x = 4 on the x axis. These are the three roots or x intercepts.

The graph in the bottom right has a root of x = -4, but that's not one of the listed roots in the instructions. So we rule this graph out.

The other two graphs only have two roots, and not three, so we rule them out as well.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the degree of a polynomial function is an odd number, the ends of the graph will go in opposite directions. (one going up and one going down)

The graph must pass the x-axis at the points -1, 0, 4.

Only the top-right graph satisfies our conditions.

Step-by-step explanation:

у
A y = 4x
B y = 4x+12
1
y = -X
1 x +12
D
4

Answers

Answer:

Option A. y = 4x

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

X >> Y

3 >> 12

4 >> 16

5 >> 20

6 >> 24

7 >> 28

Next, we shall use each of the options to obtain the first two value of y to which will correspond to the table above. This is illustrated below:

For Option A:

1. y = 4x

x = 3

y = 4 × 3

y = 12

2. y = 4x

x = 4

y = 4 × 4

y = 16

For Option B:

1. y = 4x + 12

x = 3

y = 4(3) + 12

y = 12 + 12

y = 24

2. y = 4x + 12

x = 4

y = 4(4) + 12

y = 16 + 12

y = 28

For Option C:

1. y = ¼ x

x = 3

y = ¼ × 3

y = ¾

2. y = ¼ x

x = 4

y = ¼ × 4

y = 1

For Option D:

1. y = ¼x + 12

x = 3

y = ¼(3) + 12

y = ¾ + 12

y = 51/4

2. y = ¼x + 12

x = 4

y = ¼(4) + 12

y = 1 + 12

y = 13

From the calculations made above, only option A ie. y = 4x correspond to the data given in the table above.

A bicycle wheel has a diameter of 62cm. The wheel makes 80 complete
revolutions.
How far has the bicycle travelled?
Give your answer in metres

Answers

Answer:

The bicycle traveled 77.9 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Circumference of a Circle

Given a circle of radius r, the circumference or perimeter is calculated as follows:

[tex]C =2\pi r[/tex]

The radius of the bicycle wheel has a radius of r=62 cm. Converting to meters r=62/100=0.62 m.

Calculate the circumference:

[tex]C =2\pi \ 0.62[/tex]

[tex]C=3.8956\ m[/tex]

Given the wheel makes 80 complete revolutions, the total distance covered by the bicycle is:

[tex]D=20*3.8956\ m[/tex]

D = 77.9 m
