Normal Probability Distribution:
Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
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 p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
Normally distributed with a mean of 49 pounds, and a standard deviation of 6 pounds.
This means that [tex]\mu = 49, \sigma = 6[/tex]
a. Find the percentage of dogs of this breed that weigh less than 53 pounds.
The proportion is the p-value of Z when X = 53. So
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{53 - 49}{6}[/tex]
[tex]Z = 0.67[/tex]
[tex]Z = 0.67[/tex] has a p-value of 0.7486.
0.7486*100% = 74.86%, which is percentage of dogs of this breed that weigh less than 53 pounds.
b. Find the percentage of dogs of this breed that weigh less than 49 pounds.
p-value of Z when X = 49, so:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{49 - 49}{6}[/tex]
[tex]Z = 0[/tex]
[tex]Z = 0[/tex] has a p-value of 0.5
0.5 = 50% of dogs of this breed that weigh less than 49 pounds.
c. Find the percentage of dogs of this breed that weigh more than 49 pounds.
1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 49, so:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{49 - 49}{6}[/tex]
[tex]Z = 0[/tex]
[tex]Z = 0[/tex] has a p-value of 0.5.
1 - 0.5 = 0.5 = 50% of dogs of this breed that weigh more than 49 pounds.

Classify each differential equation as separable, exact, linear, homogeneous, or Bernoulli. Some equations may be more than one kind. Do not solve.
a) dy/dx = (x − y)/x
b) (x + 1)dy/dx = −y + 20
c) dy/dx = 1/(x(x − y2))
d) dy/dx =(y^2 + y)/(x^2 + x)
e) dy/dx = 5y + y^2

k) (x^2 + 2y/x) dx = (3 − ln x^2) dy
l) (y/x^2) dy/dx + e^(2x^3) + y^2 = 0
Here, we have to classify each differential equation based on their characteristics:

b) (x + 1)dy/dx = −y + 20This is a linear first-order differential equation because it can be rearranged to the form y' + P(x)y = Q(x), where P(x) = -1/(x + 1) and Q(x) = 20/(x + 1).
c) [tex]dy/dx = 1/(x(x - y^2))[/tex]This is a separable differential equation because the variables x and y can be separated on different sides of the equation.

f) [tex]y dx = (y - xy^2) dy[/tex]This is a separable differential equation because the variables x and y can be separated on different sides of the equation.
g) [tex]x dy/dx = ye^{(xy)} - x[/tex]This is a linear first-order differential equation because it can be rearranged to the form y' + P(x)y = Q(x), where P(x) = -1/x and [tex]Q(x) = e^{(xy)} - x^{(-1)[/tex].
h) [tex]2xyy' + y^2 = 2x^2[/tex]This is a linear first-order differential equation because it can be rearranged to the form y' + P(x)y = Q(x), where P(x) = -2/x and Q(x) = 2x.

(Report answer accurate to 8 decimal places).
P(at most four) =
Answer:
P(at most four) = 0.00960541
Step-by-step explanation:
For each employee hired, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is a women, or it is not. The probability of an employee being a women is independent of any other employee, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.
Binomial probability distribution
The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]
And p is the probability of X happening.
19 new employees.
This means that [tex]n = 19[/tex]
Approximately equal number of qualified men as qualified women.
This means that [tex]p = 0.5[/tex]
Probability of getting four or fewer women when 19 people are hired
This is:
[tex]P(X \leq 4) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4)[/tex]
In which
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{19,0}.(0.5)^{0}.(0.5)^{19} = 0.00000191[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 1) = C_{19,1}.(0.5)^{1}.(0.5)^{18} = 0.00003624[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 2) = C_{19,2}.(0.5)^{2}.(0.5)^{17} = 0.00032616[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 3) = C_{19,3}.(0.5)^{3}.(0.5)^{16} = 0.00184822[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 4) = C_{19,4}.(0.5)^{4}.(0.5)^{15} = 0.00739288[/tex]
Then
[tex]P(X \leq 4) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) = 0.00000191 + 0.00003624 + 0.00032616 + 0.00184822 + 0.00739288 = 0.00960541[/tex]
So
P(at most four) = 0.00960541
The interarrival time of nuclear particles in a Monte Carlo simulation of a reaction is designed to have a uniform distribution over an interval from 0 to 0.5 milliseconds. Determine the probability that the interarrival time between two particles will be:
Answer:
Incomplete question, but you can use the formulas given to solve it.
Step-by-step explanation:
Uniform probability distribution:
An uniform distribution has two bounds, a and b.
The probability of finding a value of at lower than x is:
[tex]P(X < x) = \frac{x - a}{b - a}[/tex]
The probability of finding a value between c and d is:
[tex]P(c \leq X \leq d) = \frac{d - c}{b - a}[/tex]
The probability of finding a value above x is:
[tex]P(X > x) = \frac{b - x}{b - a}[/tex]
Uniform distribution over an interval from 0 to 0.5 milliseconds
This means that [tex]a = 0, b = 0.5[/tex]
Determine the probability that the interarrival time between two particles will be:
Considering [tex]a = 0, b = 0.5[/tex], and the question asked, you choose one of the three formulas above.

What is fraction?
A fraction is a mathematical term that represents a part of a whole or a ratio between two quantities. It is a way of expressing a number as a quotient of two integers, where the top number is called the numerator, and the bottom number is called the denominator.
x²-3x-10/x²-6x+5 • x-2/x-5
We can factor the numerator and denominator of the first fraction as follows: (x-5)(x+2) / (x-5)(x-1)
Notice that there's a common factor of x-5 in both the numerator and denominator. We can cancel them out, leaving: (x+2) / (x-1)
Now let's simplify the second fraction:
x-2 / x-5
We can't simplify this fraction any further, so we leave it as is.
Putting it all together, we get:
(x+2) / (x-1) * (x-2) / (x-5)
Multiplying the two fractions, we get:
(x+2)(x-2) / (x-1)(x-5)
This is the simplified form of the expression.

(Simplify your answer.)
To express the phrase "Three times a number, decreased by five" as an algebraic expression, we can use the variable x to represent the unknown number: 3x - 5
Now, let's simplify this expression: Given that the unknown number is represented by x, we can substitute it into the expression above. Substituting x into the expression, we have: [tex]3(x) - 5 3x - 5[/tex] Therefore, the algebraic expression representing "Three times a number, decreased by five" is [tex]3x - 5.[/tex] At this point, there is no further simplification possible since the expression is already in its simplest form.
For example, let's assume the unknown number x is 7. We can plug in this value to evaluate the expression: [tex]3(7) - 5 = 21 - 5 = 16[/tex] Similarly, if x is -2, the calculation would be: [tex]3(-2) - 5 = -6 - 5 = -11[/tex] In conclusion, the algebraic expression 3x - 5 represents the phrase "Three times a number, decreased by five."

A crew clears brush from 1/3 acre of land in 2 days. How long will it take the same crew to clear the entire plot of 2 1/ 2 acres?
Answer:
15 days
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
Time taken to clear 1/3 acre = 2 days
This means that, they will be able to clear ;
1/3 ÷ 2 = 1/3 * 2 /1 = 1/6 acre in one day
1/6 acres per day :
Hence, the number of days it will take to clear 2 1/2 acres will be :
2 1/2 acres ÷ 1/6
5 / 2 ÷ 1/ 6
5/2 * 6 /1 = (5*6) / (2*1) = 30/2 = 15
Hence, it will take 15 days to clear 2 1/2 acres
A man, 1.5m tall, is on top of a building. He observes a car on the road at an angle of 75°. If the building is 30m, how far is the car from the building?
Answer:
The answer to this question is 8.44 m.
Step-by-step explanation:
This problem is best illustrated in the photo below.
First, we must know that the angle stated in the problem is the angle of depression. Angle of depression is the angle between the horizontal and the line of sight of the observer. On the other hand, if the observer is looking upward, then the angle between the horizontal and his line of sight is called the angle of elevation.
Since we have the given angle of depression, we must use its complementary angle to solve for the distance of the car from the building.
Let x = complementary angle of 75°
y = distance of the car from the building
To solve for x,
To solve for y, we need to use a trigonometric function that will relate the adjacent of 15° and the opposite of 15°. Let us look at the mnemonics
SOH: Sine =
CAH: Cosine =
TOA: Tangent =
Therefore we must use the tangent function to solve for y.
