How large a sample must be withdrawn so that the average number of particles per mL in the sample is between 48 and 52 with probability 95%?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) 0.6579

(b) 0.2961

(c) 0.3108

(d) 240

Step-by-step explanation:

The random variable X can be defined as the number of particles in a suspension.

The concentration of particles in a suspension is 50 per ml.

Then in 5 mL volume of the suspension the number of particles will be,

5 × 50 = 250.

The random variable X thus follows a Poisson distribution with parameter, λ = 250.

The Poisson distribution with parameter λ, can be approximated by the Normal distribution, when λ is large say λ > 10.  

The mean of the approximated distribution of X is:

μ = λ  = 250

The standard deviation of the approximated distribution of X is:

σ = √λ  = √250 = 15.8114

Thus, [tex]X\sim N(250, 250)[/tex]

(a)

Compute the probability that the number of particles withdrawn will be between 235 and 265 as follows:

[tex]P(235<X<265)=P(\frac{235-250}{15.8114}<\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}<\frac{265-250}{15.8114})[/tex]

                             [tex]=P(-0.95<Z<0.95)\\=P(Z<0.95)-P(Z<-0.95)\\=P(Z<0.95)-[1-P(Z<0.95)]\\=2P(Z<0.95)-1\\=(2\times 0.82894)-1\\=0.65788\\\approx 0.6579[/tex]

Thus, the value of P (235 < X < 265) = 0.6579.

(b)

Compute the probability that the average number of particles per mL in the withdrawn sample is between 48 and 52 as follows:

[tex]P(48<\bar X<52)=P(\frac{48-50}{15.8114/\sqrt{5}}<\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\sigma/\sqrt{n}}<\frac{52-50}{15.8114/\sqrt{5}})[/tex]

                             [tex]=P(-0.28<Z<0.28)\\=P(Z<0.28)-P(Z<-0.28)\\=P(Z<0.28)-[1-P(Z<0.28)]\\=2P(Z<0.28)-1\\=(2\times 0.64803)-1\\=0.29606\\\approx 0.2961[/tex]

Thus, the value of [tex]P(48<\bar X<52)=0.2961[/tex].

(c)

A 10 mL sample is withdrawn.

Compute the probability that the average number of particles per mL in the withdrawn sample is between 48 and 52 as follows:

[tex]P(48<\bar X<52)=P(\frac{48-50}{15.8114/\sqrt{10}}<\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\sigma/\sqrt{n}}<\frac{52-50}{15.8114/\sqrt{10}})[/tex]

                             [tex]=P(-0.40<Z<0.40)\\=P(Z<0.40)-P(Z<-0.40)\\=P(Z<0.40)-[1-P(Z<0.40)]\\=2P(Z<0.40)-1\\=(2\times 0.65542)-1\\=0.31084\\\approx 0.3108[/tex]

Thus, the value of [tex]P(48<\bar X<52)=0.3108[/tex].

(d)

Let the sample size be n.

[tex]P(48<\bar X<52)=P(\frac{48-50}{15.8114/\sqrt{n}}<\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\sigma/\sqrt{n}}<\frac{52-50}{15.8114/\sqrt{n}})[/tex]

                             [tex]0.95=P(-z<Z<z)\\0.95=P(Z<z)-P(Z<-z)\\0.95=P(Z<z)-[1-P(Z<z)]\\0.95=2P(Z<z)-1\\P(Z<z)=\frac{1.95}{2}\\\\P(Z<z)=0.975[/tex]

The value of z for this probability is,

z = 1.96

Compute the value of n as follows:

[tex]z=\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\sigma/\sqrt{n}}\\\\1.96=\frac{48-50}{15.8114/\sqrt{n}}\\\\n=[\frac{1.96\times 15.8114}{48-50}]^{2}\\\\n=240.1004\\\\n\approx 241[/tex]

Thus, the sample selected must be of size 240.

Find the distance between the two numbers on a number line. Write your answer as a decimal.
-1.85 , 7.36

Answers

Answer:

9.21

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm pretty sure you just add the two numbers as positive numbers :/

The required distance on the number line between the points -1.85 and 7.36 is 9.21.

Given that,
To determine the distance between the two numbers on a number line points are -1.85 and 7.36.

What is a number line?

A number line is defined as the number marked on the line calibrated into an equal number of units. For example -1, 0, 1, and so on.

Here,
On the number line, -1.85 lies on the left of the zero, and 7.36 lies on the right so the required distance would be the addition of the two points. So,
Distance = 7.36 - (-1.85)
Distance = 7.36 + 1.86
Distance = 9.21

Thus, the required distance on the number line between the points -1.85 and 7.36 is 9.21.

The value of y is directly PROPORTIONAL to the value of x. If y=44 when x= 240, what is the value of y when x=84?

Answers

Answer:    y = 15.4

If you need the answer in fraction form, then it would be 77/5

This is equivalent to the mixed number 15 & 2/5

======================================================

Work Shown:

y = k*x ..... general direct proportion equation

44 = k*240 .... plug in x = 240 and y = 44

240k = 44

k = 44/240

k = 11/60 .... divide both parts by 4

y = k*x   .... go back to the general form

y = (11/60)x .... plug in the k value we found earlier

y = (11/60)*84 .... plug in x = 84

y = 15.4

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

Extra info:

15.4 = 15 + 0.4

15.4 = 15 + 4/10

15.4 = 15 + 2/5

15.4 = 15 & 2/5 .... mixed number form

and

15.4 = 15 + 2/5

15.4 = 75/5 + 2/5

15.4 = (75+2)/5

15.4 = 77/5 ... improper fraction

3x-29=6x-7 what is x

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to get x on one side and the constants on the other. First subtract both sides by 3x to get:

Now add 7 to both sides to get:

-22 = 3x

Divide each side by 3 to get:

x = -22/3

3x-29=6x-7

Graph the image of the given triangle after the transformation that has the rule (x, y)→(x−5, y+6). Select the Polygon tool. Then, click the points of the triangle vertices to create the triangle by connecting the sides.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Transformation involves changing the position of a shape in the coordinate.

See attachment for the image of the triangle

Assume the triangle is triangle ABC.

The coordinates of ABC are:

[tex]\mathbf{A = (-1,-4)}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{B = (-2,-7)}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{C = (5,-6)}[/tex]

The transformation rule is given as:

[tex]\mathbf{(x,y) \to (x -5,y+6)}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{A' = (-1 -5,-4+6)}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{A' = (-6,2)}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{B' = (-2 -5,-7+6)}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{B' = (-7,-1)}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{C' = (5 -5,-6+6)}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{C' = (0,0)}[/tex]

So, the coordinates of the new triangle would be:

[tex]\mathbf{A' = (-6,2)}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{B' = (-7,-1)}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{C' = (0,0)}[/tex]

240 in a ratio of 3:5?

Answers

ANSWER: let the ratios are 3x and 5x
therefore,3x+5x=240
8x=240
x=30
so,3x=3×30=90
5x=5×30=150
so,we divide 240 in 90 and 150 to get ratio 3:5

The number who needs to be made into a ratio = 240

Total number of parts = 3 + 5

= 8 parts

Each part = 240 ÷ 8

= 30

Then three parts = 30 × 3 = 90

Five parts = 30 × 5 = 150

Then , the ratio will be = 90 : 150

Therefore , 240 in a ratio of 3 : 5 = 90 : 150 .

{-4, 3), (-2.-1), (-7, 8)}  = Function

{-4,-2,-7, 7} = Function (I think?)

Answer: [tex]5 \frac{1}{3}[/tex] miles

For the rate of 8 miles in 3 hours, you divide.

For the rate of - miles in 2 hours, multiply.

8 x 2 = 3x

Answer:

Length: 25 inches

Width: 7 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter = 2L + 2W

Length: 3w + 4

Width: w

64 = 2(3w + 4) + 2w

64 = 6w + 8 + 2w

64 = 8w + 8

56 = 8w

w = 7

Length: 3(7) + 4 = 25

Width: 7
