The weights for newborn babies is approximately normally distributed with a mean of 5.5 pounds and a standard deviation of 1.6 pounds.


Consider a group of 800 newborn babies:


1. How many would you expect to weigh between 3 and 8 pounds?


2. How many would you expect to weigh less than 6 pounds?


3. How many would you expect to weigh more than 5 pounds?


4. How many would you expect to weigh between 5.5 and 9 pounds?

Please help and STEP BY STEP PLZ.

Answers

Answer 1

Compute each probability. The strategy is to transform X, a random variable representing the weight of newborns, to another random variable Z that represents the same but scaled quantity so that Z is normally distributed with mean 0 and s.d. 1. To do this, we use the rule

X = 5.5 + 1.6 Z

or

Z = (X - 5.5)/1.6

then use a calculator to compute the probability, or look it up in a table. Multiply this probability by 800 to find the number of newborns in each category.

1.

Pr[3 ≤ X ≤ 8] = Pr[(3 - 5.5)/1.6 ≤ (X - 5.5)/1.6 ≤ (8 - 5.5)/1.6]

… ≈ Pr[-1.5625 ≤ Z ≤ 1.5625]

… ≈ 0.8818

Out of 800 babies, you would expect around 88% of them, or about 705 babies to weight between 3 and 8 pounds.

2.

Pr[X < 6] = Pr[(X - 5.5)/1.6 ≤ (6 - 5.5)/1.6]

… = Pr[Z ≤ 0.3125]

… ≈ 0.6227

Out of 800 babies, around 498 will weigh less than 6 pounds.

3.

Pr[X > 5] = Pr[(X - 5.5)/1.6 > (5 - 5.5)/1.6]

… = Pr[Z > -0.3125]

… ≈ 0.6227

same as (2) due to the symmetry of the distribution (Z is centered at zero). Out of 800 babies, you can expect around 498 in this group.

4.

Pr[5.5 ≤ X ≤ 9] = Pr[(5.5 - 5.5)/1.6 ≤ (X - 5.5)/1.6 ≤ (9 - 5.5)/1.6]

… = Pr[0 ≤ Z ≤ 2.1875]

… ≈ 0.4857

Out of 800 babies, around 388 will weigh between 5.5 and 9 pounds.

The mother is really tall (T) and the allele for this particular trait is dominant to the short (t) gene. The fathers phenotype is short (t). What will the genotype and phenotype percentages be for the the F1 generation? (hint: there may be more than one possible answer).

Answers

If tall is completely dominant over short, then the mother's genotype is either TT or Tt. The father is short so his genotype is tt.

Crossing TT with tt produces only heterzygous offspring with genotype Tt. Then the genotypic and phenotypic ratios are 0 TT : 1 Tt : 0 tt and 1 tall : 0 short, respectively. As percentages, these would

• geno:   0% TT : 100% Tt : 0% tt

• pheno:   100% tall : 0% short

Crossing Tt with tt on the other hand produces offspring with genotype either Tt or tt with equal probability, so that the geno and pheno ratios are 0 TT : 1 Tt : 1 tt and 1 tall : 1 short. As percentages,

• geno:    0% TT : 50% Tt : 50% tt

• pheno:   50% tall : 50% short

Answers

Question 1

Answer:  Choice A) -7

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

Explanation:

To compute f(g(2)), we'll first need to find g(2).

Locate 2 in the x row. Then read straight down until you get to the g(x) row. You should find that g(2) = 4

This means f(g(2)) becomes f(4). We then repeat the same process as before. Locate 4 in the x row, read straight down til you get to the f(x) row to find that f(4) =  -9

Overall, we can say f(g(2)) = -9

We do the same set of steps to compute g(f(-1)). You should find that f(-1) = -1 and g(f(-1)) = g(-1) = -2

Lastly, we subtract the results we got:  

f(g(2)) - g(f(-1)) = -9 - (-2) = -9+2 = -7

Question 3

Answer: Choice B[tex]-2x^2+250x-2000[/tex]

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

Explanation:

x = number of scooters made and sold

Each scooter costs $150 to make. If you made x of them, then it costs 150x dollars. Then tack on the fixed cost of $2000 to get the expression [tex]150x+2000[/tex]

The cost function is [tex]C(x) = 150x+2000[/tex]. We'll subtract this from the revenue function R(x) to get the profit P(x)

[tex]\text{Profit} = \text{Revenue} - \text{Cost}\\\\P(x) = R(x) - C(x)\\\\P(x) = (400x-2x^2) - (150x+2000)\\\\P(x) = 400x-2x^2-150x-2000\\\\P(x) = -2x^2+250x-2000\\\\[/tex]

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

Question 4

Answer: Choice B

[tex]\left\{x\in \mathbb{R} \big| \ x \ne -2, x \ne 1\right\}[/tex]

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

Explanation:

[tex]g(x) = \frac{1}{x+1}\\\\g(f(x)) = \frac{1}{f(x)+1}\\\\g(f(x)) = \frac{1}{x^2+x-3+1}\\\\g(f(x)) = \frac{1}{x^2+x-2}\\\\g(f(x)) = \frac{1}{(x+2)(x-1)}\\\\(g\circ f)(x) = \frac{1}{(x+2)(x-1)}\\\\[/tex]

I started with the outer function g(x) and replaced each x with f(x) in the second step. Then I plugged in f(x) = x^2+x-3 and simplified. Factoring the denominator is helpful to determine where the denominator becomes zero. Specifically, it happens when x = -2 and x = 1. These x values must be kicked out of the domain to avoid a division by zero error.

So we start off with the real number line, and poke holes at x = -2 and x = 1.

The notation [tex]x \in \mathbb{R}[/tex] means x is a real number. Then we tack on [tex]x \ne -2, x \ne 1[/tex]

Overall, the domain is [tex]\left\{x\in \mathbb{R} \big| \ x \ne -2, x \ne 1\right\}[/tex]

Let's see what happens if we tried plugging x = -1 into this composite function:

[tex](g \circ f)(x) = \frac{1}{(x+2)(x-1)}\\\\(g \circ f)(-1) = \frac{1}{(-1+2)(-1-1)}\\\\(g \circ f)(-1) = \frac{1}{(1)(-2)}\\\\(g \circ f)(-1) = \frac{1}{-2}\\\\(g \circ f)(-1) = -0.5\\\\[/tex]

We don't get a division by zero error, so x = -1 is allowed. The same can be said about any other x value as long as it's not -2 and not 1 either.

Answer:

102 degrees below horizontal

Step-by-step explanation:

if the first angle is 78 degrees, the angle on the other side of the line is 102 degrees because a straight line is 180 degrees, and a box would have a total of 360 degrees in it

because the same line passes through both horizontal lines, the angle 3 is equal to the opposite angle to the 78

180-78 = 102

another way to look at it is that the 78 degrees is the same angle directly above angle 3 because the horizontal lines are parallel, and if it is 78 degrees, that makes the angle below it (angle 3) 102 degrees since a straight line must add to 180 degrees

A professional guitarist charges a flat amount for performances at restaurants and events. He played 6 performances over 2 weeks and made a total of $420. Write an equation and solve for the amount he makes for each performance.

Answers

Answer:

The guitarist makes 70$ a performance

Step-by-step explanation:

To find how much he makes per performance we need to make an equation where how much he makes per performance is x

The equation would be:

x=420

Then we would divide both sides by 6

6÷6×x=420÷6

which would make the equation

x=70

meaning that the guitarist makes 70$ per performance

Let performances be x

[tex]\\ \sf{:}\dashrightarrow 6x(2)=420[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf{:}\dashrightarrow 12x=420[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf{:}\dashrightarrow x=420/12[/tex]

How much pure alcohol must a pharmacist add to 10 cm of a 10% alcohol solution to strengthen it to a 70% solution? ASAP

Answers

20 cm³ of pure alcohol is added to 10 cm of a 10% alcohol solution to strengthen it to a 70% solution.

Let x represent the volume of pure alcohol (100%) in cm³ needed to be added. Hence:

x * 100% + 10 cm³ * 10% = 70% * (x + 10 cm³)

x * 1 + 10 * 0.1 = 0.7 * (x + 10)

x + 1 = 0.7x + 7

x - 0.7x = 7 - 1

0.3x = 6

x = 20 cm³

Therefore 20 cm³ of pure alcohol is added to 10 cm of a 10% alcohol solution to strengthen it to a 70% solution.

Answers

Answer:

17/12

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to add fractions, you have to have a common denominator. The denominators in these fractions are 3, 2, and 4 (the bottom numbers). To get a common denominator, figure out what number all three of them can go into. Their common factor would be 12 because all three numbers go into 12.

Multiply each numerator in the fraction (the top number) by how much it takes to get from our current denominators (3,2,4) to our final denominator (12).

For example, in 2/3 we know that 3 times 4 equals 12. Multiply the top number by 4 to get 8/12.

In 1/2 we know that 2 times 6 equals 12. Multiply by 6 to get 6/12.

In 1/4 we know that 4 times 3 equals 12. Multiply by 3 to get 3/12.

Add the fractions to get 17/12.
