What is the EXACT volume of the cylinder?

The average American man consumes 9.8 grams of sodium each day. Suppose that the sodium consumption of American men is normally

Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

(a) The distribution of X is N (9.8, 0.8²).

(b) The probability that an American consumes between 8.8 and 9.9 grams of sodium per day is 0.4461.

(c) The middle 30% of American men consume between 9.5 grams to 10.1 grams of sodium.

Step-by-step explanation:

The random variable X is defined as the amount of sodium consumed.

The random variable X has an average value of, μ = 9.8 grams.

The standard deviation of X is, σ = 0.8 grams.

(a)

It is provided that the sodium consumption of American men is normally distributed.

The random variable X follows a normal distribution with parameters μ = 9.8 grams and σ = 0.8 grams.

Thus, the distribution of X is N (9.8, 0.8²).

(b)

If X ~ N (µ, σ²), then $Z=\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ , is a standard normal variate with mean, E (Z) = 0 and Var (Z) = 1. That is, Z ~ N (0, 1).

To compute the probability of Normal distribution it is better to first convert the raw score (X) to z-scores.

Compute the probability that an American consumes between 8.8 and 9.9 grams of sodium per day as follows:

$P(8.8$

$=P(-1.25$

Thus, the probability that an American consumes between 8.8 and 9.9 grams of sodium per day is 0.4461.

(c)

The probability representing the middle 30% of American men consuming sodium between two weights is:

$P(x_{1}$

Compute the value of z as follows:

$P(-z$

The value of z for P (Z < z) = 0.65 is 0.39.

Compute the value of x₁ and x₂ as follows:

$-z=\frac{x_{1}-\mu}{\sigma}\\-0.39=\frac{x_{1}-9.8}{0.8}\\x_{1}=9.8-(0.39\times 0.8)\\x_{1}=9.488\\x_{1}\approx9.5$ $z=\frac{x_{2}-\mu}{\sigma}\\0.39=\frac{x_{1}-9.8}{0.8}\\x_{1}=9.8+(0.39\times 0.8)\\x_{1}=10.112\\x_{1}\approx10.1$

Thus, the middle 30% of American men consume between 9.5 grams to 10.1 grams of sodium.

Charlie used a regression calculator to generate the equation f(x) = –0.15x + 20.1 for the ordered pairs (2, 15), (4, 21), (6, 2

Setler79 [48]

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

According to the given situation, The r-value associated with the ordered pairs for the linear function is very nearest to zero which does not results in adequate presentation of the outcome.

A quadratic model could properly comprise of a combination of data, as the set of data has a turning point.

This result in data rises and falls which represents the graph of quadratic's graph

James and Terry open a savings account that has a 2.75% annual interest rate, compounded monthly. They deposit $500 into the acc

katovenus [111]

Answer:

<h2>Option A is the answer(here the answer is calculated taking the whole value, without approximating it to a nearest value)</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Annual interest rate is 2.75%. Hence, the monthly interest rate is $\frac{2.75}{12}$

The amount will be compounded $(20\times12) = 240$ times.

Every month they deposits $500.

In the first month that deposited $500 will be compounded 240 times.

It will be $500\times [1 + \frac{2.75}{1200} ]^{240}$

In the second month $500 will be deposited again, this time it will be compounded 239 times.

It will give $500\times [1 + \frac{2.75}{1200} ]^{239}$

Hence, the total after 20 years will be $500\times [1 + \frac{2.75}{1200} ]^{240} + 500\times [1 + \frac{2.75}{1200} ]^{239} + ........+ 500\times [1 + \frac{2.75}{1200} ]^{1} = 160110.6741$

I believe the answer would be 18,618

25,600/11= 2,327
2327*8= 18,618

You are in a bike race. When you get to the first checkpoint, you are 25 of the distance to the second checkpoint. When you get

Rom4ik [11]

Question:

You are in a bike race. When you get to the first checkpoint, you are 2/5 of the distance to the second checkpoint. When you get to the second check point, you are 1/4 of the distance to the finish. If the entire race is 40 miles, what is the distance between the start and the first check point?

Answer: 4 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let distance between start to first checkpoint = x

First checkpoint to second checkpoint = 2/5 of x

Distance of start to checkpoint 1 = ( 2/5 of start to checkpoint 2)

Distance of start to checkpoint 2 = (1/4 of start to finish)

If start to checkpoint 2 = 1/4 of start to finish

Then,

Distance of start to checkpoint 1 = ( 2/5 * 1/4 of start to finish)

Distance of start to checkpoint 1 = 2/20 of start to finish = 1/10 of start to finish

Entire race = 40 miles = distance from start to finish

1/ 10 of 40

= ( 1/10) × 40

= 4 miles
