Students at a major university are complaining of a serious housing crunch. Many of the university's students, they complain, have to commute too far to school because there is not enough housing near campus. The university officials respond with the following information:
The mean distance commuted to school by students is 17.1 miles, and the standard deviation of the distance commuted is 3.7 miles. Assuming that the university officials' information is correct, complete the following statements about the distribution of commute distances for students at this university.
1) According to Chebyshev's theorem, at least 36% of the commute distances lie between miles and miles. (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.)
2) According to Chebyshev's theorem, at least of the commute distances lie between 9.7 miles and 24.5 miles.
a) 56%
b) 75%
c) 84%
d) 89%
3) Suppose that the distribution is bell-shaped. According to the empirical rule, approximately of the commute distances lie between 9.7 miles and 24.5 miles.
a) 68%
b) 75%
c) 95%
d) 99.7%
4) Suppose that the distribution is bell-shaped. According to the empirical rule, approximately 68% of the commute distances lie between miles and miles.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1) Between 12.5 miles and 21.7 miles.

2) b) 75%

3) c) 95%

4) Between 13.7 miles and 20.5 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Empirical Rule:

The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean.

99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

Chebyshev Theorem:

The Chebyshev Theorem can also be applied to non-normal distribution. It states that:

At least 75% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean.

At least 89% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

An in general terms, the percentage of measures within k standard deviations of the mean is given by [tex]P = 100(1 - \frac{1}{k^{2}})[/tex].

1) According to Chebyshev's theorem, at least 36% of the commute distances lie between miles and miles.

Within k standard deviations of the mean, and k is found when [tex]P = 36[/tex]. So

[tex]P = 100(1 - \frac{1}{k^{2}})[/tex]

[tex]36 = 100 - \frac{100}{k^2}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{100}{k^2} = 64[/tex]

[tex]64k^2 = 100[/tex]

[tex]k^2 = \frac{100}{64}[/tex]

[tex]k = \sqrt{\frac{100}{64}}[/tex]

[tex]k = \frac{10}{8}[/tex]

[tex]k = 1.25[/tex]

Within 1.25 standard deviations of the mean.

1.25*3.7 = 4.6 miles

17.1 - 4.6 = 12.5 miles

17.1 + 4.6 = 21.7 miles

Between 12.5 miles and 21.7 miles.

2) According to Chebyshev's theorem, at least of the commute distances lie between 9.7 miles and 24.5 miles.

17.1 - 9.7 = 24.5 - 17.1 = 7.4 miles, so within 2 standard deviations of the mean, which is 75%, option B.

3) Suppose that the distribution is bell-shaped. According to the empirical rule, approximately of the commute distances lie between 9.7 miles and 24.5 miles.

Within 2 standard deviations of the mean, by the Empirical Rule, which is 95%, option c.

4) Suppose that the distribution is bell-shaped. According to the empirical rule, approximately 68% of the commute distances lie between miles and miles.

Within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

17.1 - 3.4 = 13.7

17.1 + 3.4 = 20.5

Between 13.7 miles and 20.5 miles.

Explain the difference between (-5)squared and -5squared.

Answers

Answer:

The major difference between square and rectangle is that a square has all its sides equal whereas a rectangle has its opposite sides equal. In Geometry, we have learnt different types of shapes such as square, rectangle, cube, cone, cylinder, parallelogram, rhombus, and so on.

All these shapes can fall under any one of the categories such as two-dimensional shapes or three-dimensional shapes. All the shapes can share a few characteristics. But they have many different characteristics properties that differentiate the shapes from each other. In this article, let us discuss the difference between a rectangle and a square in detail.

Find the mean, the median and the mode of 12, 13, 9, 8, 8, 7, 6, 8, 10​

Answers

Answer:

if I am not mistaken.. the median would be 9 and the the mean is also 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

first you order the numbers from least to greatest and the find with is the middle number to find the median.

6,7,8,8,8,9,10,12,13 (answer: 9)

To find the mean you will add all of the numbers up and then divide that number by the amount of numbers there are.

1) 6+7+8+8+8+9+10+12+13= 81

2) 81 ÷ 9 =9

Answer:

Mean: 9, Median: 8 Mode: 8

Step-by-step explanation:

MEAN:   The AVERAGE total of all the values divided by the numbers of values.

6 + 7+ 8 + 8 + 8 + 9 + 10 + 12 + 13 = 81        81/9 (set of #'s)= 9

MEDIAN:  The number in the MIDDLE of the list of values.

6, 7, 8, 8, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13         So, the middle value is 8

MODE:   The number that appears the most.

6, 7, 8, 8, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13         So, 8 appears 3 times.

1. The nominal rate on Sandra's loan is 7.125%. If the interest is compounded monthly, what rate of

interest is Sandra actually paying? (use the formula)

Answers

Answer:

She is actually paying a rate of 7.36% of interest.

Step-by-step explanation:

The real interest rate, as a decimal, is given by:

[tex]I = (1 + \frac{r}{n})^{n}[/tex]

In which r is the interest rate and n is the number of compoundings during an year.

The nominal rate on Sandra's loan is 7.125%, compounded monthly:

This means that [tex]r = 0.07125, n = 12[/tex]

So

[tex]I = (1 + \frac{0.07125}{12})^{12} = 1.0736[/tex]

As a percentage: 1.0736*100 = 107.36% - 100% = 7.36%

She is actually paying a rate of 7.36% of interest.

Answers

For question 1 and 2, you should keep in mind that the sum of all angles in a triangle is 180°. 1. If the measure of one angle of a triangle is 90 degrees, you can assume that the sum of the other two triangles should be 90 degrees. Because

180 - 90 = 90

The sum of the three angles of any triangle is equal to 180 degrees.

Angle 2=127 because 180-53=127.

Angle 3=23 because 180-30-127=53

Angle 1=37 because 90-53=37

Angle 4=90

Angle 1+4=127

The measure of ∠1 is 125° .

Next x+64=110. The reason why you can do this is because ∠R is going to be an opposite interior angle. Subtract 64 from the left and right sides. x=46

2) 1) A 6 ft tall lawn ornament standing next to a baby elephant casts a 18 ft shadow. If the baby elephant casts a shadow that is 12 ft long, then how tall is it?​

Answers

Answer: 4 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Proportion from lawn ornament to its shadow = 6ft : 18ft = 1 : 3

Proportion from baby elephant to its shadow = x : 12ft

These proportions have to be equal, because if it is the same time of day, the different object's shadows will have the same proportions.

In order to solve this problem, we need to cross multiply. (Attached image)  

So, 3x = 12.

By solving this equation, we find that x = 4

The height of the baby elephant is 4 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Options to the question are "a) N(.30, .10), b) N(.30, .09). c) N(.47, .09), d) N(.47, .008), e) N(.30, .008)"

Pο = 47% = 0.47

n = 30

Mean = Pο = 0.47

S.D = Pο(1-Pο) / n

S.D = 0.47 * 0.53 / 30

S.D = 0.09

Thus, the percentage of sleeping statistics of students follows a Normal distribution with mean = 0.47 and S..D = 0.09
