Erin and her friends are taking a road trip. She has agreed to drive between hours 3 and 6 of the trip. If h represents the hour

s of the trip Erin will be driving, then h ≥ 3 and h≤ 6 represents her portion of the driving. While she is driving, her distance and time are modeled by the inequality d < 70h. What are the possible hours and distances Erin could be driving?

Solution:

As given

h =Hours of the trip Erin will be driving.

Also , 3 ≤ h ≤ 6

d = Distance traveled

The relation between hours of drive and distance traveled is given by inequality

→d < 70 h

→ h > $\frac{d}{70}$

→ As 3 ≤ h ≤ 6

→3 ≤ $\frac{d}{70}$ ≤ 6

→3 × 70 ≤ d ≤ 70 × 6

→ 210 ≤ d ≤ 420

So, h ∈ [3,6] then d ∈ (210,420)

Alex is x years old. Addison is y years younger. Find their combined age in 10 years’ time.

stira [4]

Answer:

x+10-y

Step-by-step explanation:

i'm not 100% sure about this response, but i'd assume the answer is like this for the following reasons:

alex is x years old, and 10 years have passed, meaning 10 years are added onto his age (x+10). addison is still the same amount of years apart from him in age, so you subtract y from that (x+10-y).

Approximate the area under the curve y = x² from x = 2 to x = 5 using a Right Endpoint approximation with 6 subdivisions.

Tanzania [10]

Answer:

$\text{Area}\,=36.75$

Step-by-step explanation:

Using right estimation point simply means to form a bunch of rectangles between the two limits, x =2 and x = 5. and add the areas of all those rectangles.

There must be 6 subdivisions between 2 and 5. so, to do that:

$\Delta{x}=\dfrac{5-2}{6}=0.5$

the length of each subdivision is 0.5 units. That also means that the 6 rectangles in between the limits will each have the base length of 0.5 units.

So the endpoints of each subdivision from 3 to 5 will be:

$\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|c|}3&3.5&4&4.5&5\\\end{tabular}$

By <em>right </em>endpoint approx<em>, </em>we mean that the height of the rectangles will be determined by the right endpoint of each subdivision, that is, it must be equal to the function value of the first limit.

$\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|}subdivision&$x$&height($y=x^2$)&3 to 3.5&3.5&12.25&3.5 to 4&4&16&4 to 4.5&4.5&20.25&4.5 to 5&5&25\end$

Note that we have used the right-end-point of the subdivision to determine the height the rectangles.

All that's left to do now is to simply calculate the areas of the each of the rectangles. And add them up.

the base of each of the rectangle is $\Delta{x}=0.5$

and the height is determined in the table above.

$\text{Area}\,=(0.5\times12.25)+(0.5\times16)+(0.5\times20.25)+(0.5\times25)$

$\text{Area}\,=0.5(12.25+16+20.25+25)$

$\text{Area}\,=36.75$

According to the WHO MONICA Project the mean blood pressure for people in China is 128 mmHg with a standard deviation of 23 mmHg

Sati [7]

Answer:

a) Mean blood pressure for people in China.

b) 38.21% probability that a person in China has blood pressure of 135 mmHg or more.

c) 71.30% probability that a person in China has blood pressure of 141 mmHg or less.

d) 8.51% probability that a person in China has blood pressure between 120 and 125 mmHg.

e) Since Z when X = 135 is less than two standard deviations from the mean, it is not unusual for a person in China to have a blood pressure of 135 mmHg

f) 157.44mmHg

Step-by-step explanation:

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

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.

If X is two standard deviations from the mean or more, it is considered unusual.

In this question:

$\mu = 128, \sigma = 23$

a.) State the random variable.

Mean blood pressure for people in China.

b.) Find the probability that a person in China has blood pressure of 135 mmHg or more.

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 135.

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{135 - 128}{23}$

$Z = 0.3$

$Z = 0.3$ has a pvalue of 0.6179

1 - 0.6179 = 0.3821

38.21% probability that a person in China has blood pressure of 135 mmHg or more.

c.) Find the probability that a person in China has blood pressure of 141 mmHg or less.

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 141.

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{141 - 128}{23}$

$Z = 0.565$

$Z = 0.565$ has a pvalue of 0.7140

71.30% probability that a person in China has blood pressure of 141 mmHg or less.

d.)Find the probability that a person in China has blood pressure between 120 and 125 mmHg.

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 125 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 120. So

X = 125

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{125 - 128}{23}$

$Z = -0.13$

$Z = -0.13$ has a pvalue of 0.4483

X = 120

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{120 - 128}{23}$

$Z = -0.35$

$Z = -0.35$ has a pvalue of 0.3632

0.4483 - 0.3632 = 0.0851

8.51% probability that a person in China has blood pressure between 120 and 125 mmHg.

e.) Is it unusual for a person in China to have a blood pressure of 135 mmHg? Why or why not?

From b), when X = 135, Z = 0.3

Since Z when X = 135 is less than two standard deviations from the mean, it is not unusual for a person in China to have a blood pressure of 135 mmHg.

f.) What blood pressure do 90% of all people in China have less than?

This is the 90th percentile, which is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.28. So X when Z = 1.28. Then

X = 120

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$1.28 = \frac{X - 128}{23}$

$X - 128 = 1.28*23$

$X = 157.44$

So

157.44mmHg
