The daily high temperature in Chicago for the month of August is approximately normal with mean 78 degrees F, and standard deviation 9 degrees F. a. What is the probability that a randomly selected day in August will have a high temperature greater than the mean daily high temperature of 78 degrees F?
b. What is the percentile for a day in August with a high temperature of 75 degrees F?
c. What is the 75th percentile for the daily high temperature for the month of August?
d. What is the interquartile range for the daily high temperature for the month of August?

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer:

a) $P(X>78) = P(Z> (78-78)/(9)) = P(Z>0)= 0.5$

b) $P(X<75)= P(Z< (75-78)/(9)) = P(Z<-0.333) = 0.370$

So then 75 F correspond to approximately the 37 percentile

c) $z=0.674<(a-78)/(9)$

And if we solve for a we got

$a=78 +0.674*9=84.07$

So the value of height that separates the bottom 75% of data from the top 25% is 84.07 F.

d) $IQR = 84.07-71.93= 12.14$

See explanation below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".

Part a

Let X the random variable that represent the daily high temperature in Chicago for the month of August of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

$X \sim N(78,9)$

Where $\mu=78$ and $\sigma=9$

We are interested on this probability

$P(X>78)$

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

$z=(x-\mu)/(\sigma)$

Using the z score we got:

$P(X>78) = P(Z> (78-78)/(9)) = P(Z>0)= 0.5$

Part b

For this case we can find the percentile with the following probability:

$P(X<75)$

If we use the z score formula we got:

$P(X<75)= P(Z< (75-78)/(9)) = P(Z<-0.333) = 0.370$

So then 75 F correspond to approximately the 37 percentile

Part c

For this part we want to find a value a, such that we satisfy this condition:

$P(X>a)=0.25$ (a)

$P(X<a)=0.75$ (b)

Both conditions are equivalent on this case. We can use the z score again in order to find the value a.

As we can see on the figure attached the z value that satisfy the condition with 0.75 of the area on the left and 0.25 of the area on the right it's z=0.674. On this case P(Z<0.674)=0.75 and P(z>0.674)=0.25

If we use condition (b) from previous we have this:

$P(X<a)=P((X-\mu)/(\sigma)<(a-\mu)/(\sigma))=0.75$

$P(z<(a-\mu)/(\sigma))=0.75$

But we know which value of z satisfy the previous equation so then we can do this:

$z=0.674<(a-78)/(9)$

And if we solve for a we got

$a=78 +0.674*9=84.07$

So the value of height that separates the bottom 75% of data from the top 25% is 84.07 F.

Part d

For this case we know that $IQR = Q_3 - Q_1 = P_(75)-P_(25)$

So then we just need to find the percentile 25.

$P(X>a)=0.25$ (a)

$P(X<a)=0.75$ (b)

Both conditions are equivalent on this case. We can use the z score again in order to find the value a.

As we can see on the figure attached the z value that satisfy the condition with 0.25 of the area on the left and 0.75 of the area on the right it's z=-0.674. On this case P(Z<-0.674)=0.25 and P(z>-0.674)=0.75

If we use condition (b) from previous we have this:

$P(X<a)=P((X-\mu)/(\sigma)<(a-\mu)/(\sigma))=0.25$

$P(z<(a-\mu)/(\sigma))=0.25$

But we know which value of z satisfy the previous equation so then we can do this:

$z=-0.674<(a-78)/(9)$

And if we solve for a we got

$a=78 -0.674*9=71.93$

So the value of height that separates the bottom 25% of data from the top 75% is 71.93 F.

So then the interquartile range would be:

$IQR = 84.07-71.93= 12.14$

The mortgage department of a large bank is interested in the nature of loans of first-time borrowers. This information will be used to tailor their marketing strategy. They believe that 40% of first-time borrowers take out smaller loans than other borrowers. They perform a hypothesis test to determine if the percentage is the same or different from 40%. They sample 100 first-time borrowers and find 53 of these loans are smaller than the other borrowers. For the hypothesis test, they choose a 5% level of significance. What would be the null and alternative hypotheses

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The null hypothesis is the statement or claim that is believed or assumed to be true. In this case, the null hypothesis is "They believe that 40% of first-time borrowers take out smaller loans than other borrowers". Since we are dealing with proportion, we will denote it with p. The null hypothesis would be

p = 0.4

The alternative hypothesis is what the researcher expects or predicts. It is the statement that is believed to be true if the null hypothesis is rejected. The alternative hypothesis is "They perform a hypothesis test to determine if the percentage is the same or different from 40%". It would be written as

p ≠ 0.4

A recipe for orange water says, “Mix 3 teaspoons of yellow water with 1 teaspoon red water.” For this recipe, we might say: “The ratio of teaspoons of yellow water to teaspoons of red water is 3:1.” 1. Write a ratio for 2 batches of this recipe. 2. Write a ratio for 4 batches of this recipe

Answers

Well, we know that 3:1 is one batch of orange water. We also know that there are 2 things to focus on.

1. Must write ratio for 2 batches of the recipe.

2. Must write ratio for 4 batches of the recipe.

To make this equation simple, double the ratio to find 2 batches because all it means is 2x more water.

3:1

6:2

So, the ratio would be 6:2 to make 2 batches.

To make it easier again, we just multiply the ratio of 2 batches by 2 which would find the ratio for 4 batches.

6:2

12:4

So that means, that it is 6:2 for 2 batches, and 12:4 for four batches.

Which if the following quartic functions has x = 1 and x =

Answers

Answer:

y = x⁴ +4x³ +4x² +4x +3

Step-by-step explanation:

The coefficients of the offered quartics (in order) have 1, 1, 1, and 0 sign changes, respectively. Descartes' rule of signs tells you this means the first three choices all have one (1) positive real root, so the negative real roots -1 and -3 are not the only ones.

The only possible polynomial is the last one. Synthetic division of that polynomial by roots -1 and -3 leave the remaining factor as x²+1, which has only complex zeros.

The appropriate choice is ...

... y = x⁴ +4x³ +4x² +4x +3
