In an analysis of healthcare data, ages have been rounded to the nearest multiple of 5 years. The difference between the true ag

e and the rounded age is assumed to be uniformly distributed on the interval from -2.5yrs to +2.5yrs. The healthcare data are based on a random sample of 48 people.What is the approximate probability that the mean of the rounded ages within 0.25 years of the mean of the true ages?

Answer:

The approximate probability that the mean of the rounded ages within 0.25 years of the mean of the true ages is P=0.766.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a uniform distribution from which we are taking a sample of size n=48. We have to determine the sampling distribution and calculate the probability of getting a sample within 0.25 years of the mean of the true ages.

The mean of the uniform distribution is:

\mu=\dfrac{Max+Min}{2}=\dfrac{2.5+(-2.5)}{2}=0

The standard deviation of the uniform distribution is:

\sigma=\dfrac{Max-Min}{\sqrt{12}}=\dfrac{2.5-(-2.5)}{\sqrt{12}}=\dfrac{5}{3.46}=1.44

The sampling distribution can be approximated as a normal distribution with the following parameters:

\mu_s=\mu=0\\\\\sigma_s=\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{1.44}{\sqrt{48}}=\dfrac{1.44}{6.93}=0.21

We can now calculate the probability that the sample mean falls within 0.25 from the mean of the true ages using the z-score:

z=\dfrac{X-\mu}{\sigma}=\dfrac{0.25-0}{0.21}=\dfrac{0.25}{0.21}=1.19\\\\\\P(|X_s-\mu|

MrRissso [65]

To find the mean of the data, you will combine all values together and then spread them all out evenly to create one value that represents the data.


In math this involves adding the data together and then dividing the sum by how many pieces of data there are.


682 + 601 + 744 + 674 + 701 + 790 + 676 + 638 + 773 = 6279


6279/9 = 697.66...


The rounded credit score is 698 (Choice A).

"Which of the following are continuous functions? (Select all that apply.)
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

  □ The temperature at a specific location as a function of time.

  □ The temperature at a specific time as a function of the distance due west from New York City.

  □ The altitude above sea level as a function of the distance due west from New York City.

Step-by-step explanation:

Temperature tends to vary continuously over distance and time.

Altitude rarely changes so abruptly we'd have to say it is a discontinuous function. Even a cliff has a (very high) defined slope.

Taxi charges tend to increment according to a rate schedule. That is, for each passing minute or fraction of a mile, the amount due jumps to a new value. We'd have to say those are discontinuous.

The nature of electrical circuits is such that current is never discontinuous. Even when the circuit is disconnected by a switch, the arcing at the switch contacts ensures the current is continuous as it rapidly goes to zero.

PLEASE HELP!! ASAP!!! 20 POINTS. David proved the Law of Cosines with reference to triangle abc using a different method.Arrange
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

Top-to-bottom, the boxes have this order in the proof: 1, 7, 4, 3, 9, 8, 5, 2, 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

The basic idea is to use the Pythagorean theorem to write two expressions for the length of altitude BD, also called "k", then equate them and simplify the result. This leaves an expression for DC, also called "x", which is replaced by a cosine expression to complete the proof.

Finally, the variations involving other combinations of sides and angles are suggested as being provable in the same way.

ella [17]
So the ceiling takes 5/6 gallon to paint. We know that you already have 1/30 gallon and another gallon in addition to that. We must convert the 5/6 into ?/30 so we can see how much we need to use. So if we convert 5/6 to out of 30, we get 25/30. So the first can has 1/30 gallon so we subtract that amount from the total paint needed. So now we only need 24/30 gallon to paint the ceiling. If we subtract that amount needed from the full (30/30) can we have left, that will give us the remaining amount of paint we have left. 30/30-24/30= 6/30. This reduces to 1/5. So there is 1/5 gallon of paint left over after painting the ceiling.
