The length of stay at a specific emergency department in Phoenix, Arizona, in 2009 had a mean of 4.6 hours with a standard deviation of 2.9. Assume that the length of stay is normally distributed.
a. What is the probability of a length of stay greater than 10 hours?
b. What length of stay is exceeded by 25% of the visits?
c. From the normally distributed model, what is the probability of a length of stay less than 0 hours? Comment on the normally distributed assumption in this example.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) the probability of a length of stay greater than 10 hours is 0.03144

b) the length of stay is exceeded by 25% of the visits is 6.5 hrs

c)

P( X < 0 ) = 0.0559

The probability of length of stay less than 0 hours is 0.0559, length of stay cannot be less than 0. When the normal model is used, we assume that the LOF is approximately normally distributed.

The LOF is better modeled by the normal distribution near the mean and worse in the tails.

The probabilities in the left tail for the vales of X < 0  can be neglected.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

mean μ = 4.6

standard deviation σ = 2.9

let x represent length of stay;

a. What is the probability of a length of stay greater than 10 hours?

p( x > 10 ) = p( x-μ/σ > 10-4.6 / 2.9 )

= p( Z > 1.86)

= P( Z < - 1.86 )

FROM THE Z SCORE TABLE;( Z < - 1.86 ) = 0.03144

p( x > 10 )  = 0.03144

Therefore, the probability of a length of stay greater than 10 hours is 0.03144

b) What length of stay is exceeded by 25% of the visits?

p( X > x ) = 0.25

so

p( X < x ) = 0.75

p( x-μ/σ < x-4.6 / 2.9 ) = 75

p( Z < x-4.6 / 2.9 ) = 0.75 ----- 1

also, from the standard normal table; P( Z < 0.67 ) = 0.75 ------ 11

from equation 1 and 11

x-4.6 / 2.9 = 0.67

x-4.6 = 2.9 × 0.67

x - 4.6 = 1.943

x = 4.6 + 1.943

x = 6.543 ≈ 6.5

Therefore, the length of stay is exceeded by 25% of the visits is 6.5 hrs

c)  From the normally distributed model, what is the probability of a length of stay less than 0 hours?

P( X < 0 ) = p( x-μ/σ < 0-4.6 / 2.9 )

= P( Z - 1.59)

from table;( Z - 1.59) = 0.0559

P( X < 0 ) = 0.0559

The probability of length of stay less than 0 hours is 0.0559, length of stay cannot be less than 0. When the normal model is used, we assume that the LOF is approximately normally distributed.

The LOF is better modeled by the normal distribution near the mean and worse in the tails.

The probabilities in the left tail for the vales of X < 0  can be neglected.

Step-by-step explanation:

The points on a unit circle will not have coordinate values greater than 1 (eliminates √2). The coordinates will only be 0 or 1 if the point is on one of the axes. The coordinates (a, b) of the point at 45° are ...

  (cos(45°), sin(45°)) = (a, b) = (√2/2, √2/2)

The coordinate of point (a, b) is (√2/2, √2/2)

Coordinate of a point on a circle

Note that the points on a unit circle will not have coordinate values greater than 1.

The coordinates will only be 0 or 1 if the point is on one of the axes. The coordinates (a, b) of the point at 45° is given according to the coordinate point (cos45, sin45)

a = cos45 = √2/2

b = sin45 = √2/2

Hence the coordinate of point (a, b) is (√2/2, √2/2)

Ryan earns $20 for every lawn that he mows.
Which set of ordered pairs represents the relationship between the number
of lawns Ryan mows and the money he earns?
Oa. (20,1),(40,2), (60, 3) Ob.(1, 20), (2, 40), (3, 60)
Oc. (0,20), (1, 40), (2, 60) Od. (1, 20), (2, 30), (3, 40)

Answers

Answer:

A is the correct answer

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

The first number should represent the lawns, and the second should represent the money he makes on each lawn.

A is incorrect because the numbers are swapped; Ryan does not earn one dollar for mowing 20 lawns.

C is wrong because if Ryan mows zero lawns, how can he make money. Although the multiplication is correct, it does not start at zero.

D is wrong because it is counting the price up by ten instead of adding 20.

B is right because every lawn is 20 more dollars, and that is what is shown.  

Question 5. What is the mean of 51, 60, 80, 32, 47, 30 * A.50 B.6 c. 60 D40​

Answers

Answer:

A (50)

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean is the total numbers added up divided by the # of numbers.

There are 6 numbers.

51 + 60 + 80 + 32 + 47 + 30 = 300

300/6 = 50

Therefore, the answer is A.

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Because to find the mean you add up all the numbers.

51+60+80+32+47+30=300

Then your suppose to divide by the sum.

300/6=50

After being rejected for employment, Kim Kelly learns that the Bellevue Credit Company has hired only three women among the last 21 new employees. She also learns that the pool of applicants is very large, with an approximately equal number of qualified men as qualified women. Help her address the charge of gender discrimination by finding the probability of getting three or fewer women when 21 people are hired, assuming that there is no discrimination based on gender.
Does the resulting probability really support such a charge?

Answers

Answer:

0.00071 = 0.71% probability of getting three or fewer women when 21 people are hired. This probability, which is very small, supports the charge of gender discrimination.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each employee hired, the are only two possible outcomes. Either it is a man, or it is a woman. The probability of a person hired being a man or a woman is independent of any other person. This means that we use the binomial probability distribution 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.

21 new employees.

This means that [tex]n = 21[/tex]

She also learns that the pool of applicants is very large, with an approximately equal number of qualified men as qualified women.

This means that [tex]p = 0.5[/tex]

Help her address the charge of gender discrimination by finding the probability of getting three or fewer women when 21 people are hired.

This is

[tex]P(X \leq 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3)[/tex]

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{21,0}.(0.5)^{0}.(0.5)^{21} \approx 0[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 1) = C_{21,1}.(0.5)^{1}.(0.5)^{20} = 0.00001[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 2) = C_{21,2}.(0.5)^{2}.(0.5)^{19} = 0.0001[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 3) = C_{21,3}.(0.5)^{3}.(0.5)^{18} = 0.0006[/tex]

[tex]P(X \leq 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) = 0 + 0.00001 + 0.0001 + 0.0006 = 0.00071[/tex]

0.00071 = 0.71% probability of getting three or fewer women when 21 people are hired. This probability, which is very small, supports the charge of gender discrimination.

Area of the triangular sides = 2(Area of the triangular base)

                                              = 10 × 12

                                              = 120 ft²

Area of the rectangular sides = (Perimeter of the triangular side)(Height of the prism)    

= (10 + 13 + 13)(15)

Surface area of the prism = 120 + 540
