The time it takes a cell to divide (called mitosis) is normally distributed with an average time of one hour and a standard deviation of 5 minutes.

Required:
a. What is the probability that a cell divides in less than 45 minutes?
b. What is the probability that it takes a cell more than 65 minutes to divide?
c. By what time have approximately 99% of all cells completed mitosis?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) P[ Z < 45 ]  = 0,14 %

b)  P[ Z > 65  ]  = 16%

c) z = 71,65 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Distribution

Mean (μ₀)    1 hour    or  60 minutes

Standard Deviation     σ  =  5  (minutes)

a) The probability that a cell divides in less than 45 minutes is:

Let´s call Z standard normal random with distribution function Φ then:

P[ Z < 45 ]  =  ( Z - μ₀ ) / σ

P[ Z < 45 ]  = ( 45 - 60 ) / 5

P[ Z < 45 ]  = - 3

With this value we look in Z table and find the value 0,00135

P[ Z < 45 ]  = 0,00135  or

P[ Z < 45 ]  = 0,14 %

b)The probability of Z > 65 minutes is:

P[ Z > 65  ]  = 1 - P[ Z ≤ 65  ]

P[ Z ≤ 65  ]  = ( Z - μ₀ )/ σ

P[ Z ≤ 65  ]  = ( 65 - 60 ) / 5

P[ Z ≤ 65  ]  = 1

From Z table we find the reciprocate value of  0,84134 then

P[ Z ≤ 65  ] = 0,84134  and

P[ Z > 65  ]  = 1 - 0,84134

P[ Z > 65  ]  = 0,15866

P[ Z > 65  ]  = 0,16      or    P[ Z > 65  ]  = 16%

c) The time to get  99% of all cell completed the process is:

P [ Z ≤ z ] = ( z - 60 ) / σ

In Z table the value of  0,99010 which is a good aproximation of 0,99 (or 99%) reciprocate with the value 2,33 then

P [ Z ≤ z ] =  2,33 =  ( z - 60 ) / σ

2,33 * 5 = z - 60

11,65 + 60 = z

z = 71,65 minutes

As a matter of fact checking this value, we can see according to the empirical rule that 99,7 % of all values will occur

mean + 3σ     or   60 + 15  = 75

Answer 2

In this exercise we have to use statistical knowledge to calculate the probability of cells dividing, so we can say that:

a) [tex]P[ Z < 45 ] = 0,14 \%[/tex]

b)  [tex]P[ Z > 65 ] = 16\%[/tex]

c) [tex]Z = 71,65 minutes[/tex]

With the knowledge and information given about probability we have:

a) The probability that a cell divides in less than 45 minutes, so let´s call Z standard normal random with distribution function then:

[tex]P[ Z < 45 ] = ( Z - \mu_0 ) / \sigma\\P[ Z < 45 ] = ( 45 - 60 ) / 5\\P[ Z < 45 ] = - 3\\P[ Z < 45 ] = 0,00135 \ or \ P[ Z < 45 ] = 0,14 \%[/tex]

b)The probability of Z > 65 minutes is:

[tex]P[ Z > 65 ] = 1 - P[ Z \leq 65 ]\\P[ Z \leq 65 ] = ( Z - \mu_0 )/ \sigma\\P[ Z \leq 65 ] = ( 65 - 60 ) / 5\\P[ Z \leq 65 ] = 1\\P[ Z \leq 65 ] = 0,84134 \ and \ P[ Z > 65 ] = 1 - 0,84134\\P[ Z > 65 ] = 0,15866\\P[ Z > 65 ] = 0,16 \ or \ P[ Z > 65 ] = 16\%[/tex]

c) The time to get  99% of all cell completed the process is:

[tex]P [ Z\leq z ] = ( z - 60 ) / \sigma\\P [ Z \leq z ] = 2,33 = ( z - 60 ) / \sigma\\2,33 * 5 = z - 60\\11,65 + 60 = z\\z = 71,65 minutes[/tex]

Which theorem can be used to show that triangles QSN and LEJ are congruent?

A. HL
B. ASA
C. SAS
D. SSA

Answers

I'm pretty sure that ' HL ' stands for "hypotenuse and leg". That's the one.

-- We see the little boxes in the lower left corners, so we know that these are right triangles, and we can use the rules we know about for right triangles.

-- The hypotenuses of both triangles are marked with the same length.

-- The base legs of both triangles are marked with the same length.

-- So we have (the hypotenuse and one leg of one right triangle) equal to (the hypotenuse and corresponding leg of another right triangle). That's exactly the description of the HL conguence theorem, so we know that these two triangles are congruent.

Step-by-step explanation:

All the other questions are false and only answer a is correct because -2 is closer to 0 than -2 1/2.

Answer:

-2 is greater than -2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

B is wrong. This is because when you look on the number like you can see that the option for 1.5 is greater than one is false. This is because 1.5 is ahead of the 1 on the number line.

C is wrong. This is because the number 1 is greater than -1.5. The number one is ahead of the number -1.5.

D is wrong. D is wrong because when a smaller number is negative then it is bigger than a larger number that is negative. So -1.5 is smaller than -0.5.

So the answer is A. -2 is greater than -2.5. It can be proved because of the rule written that a smaller number is negative then it is bigger than a larger number that is negative. So -2.5 is smaller than -2. And the reciprocal is true. -2 is larger than -2.5.

what is the slope of a line of duty hat is parallel to the line whose equation is 5y+2x=12

Answers

Answer:

-2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of two parallel lines will be the same.

Here, our equation is 5y + 2x = 12. Let's find the slope by isolating y:

5y + 2x = 12

5y = -2x + 12

y = (-2/5)x + 12/5

So, the slope is -2/5.

Thus, the slope of the line parallel to the given one will be -2/5.

Answer:

-2/5

5y+2x=12

y = -2/5x +12/5

Find the length of ST to the nearest meter.

Answers

Answer:

42 m

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find <S

<S = 180 - (41+113) [ sum of angles in a triangle)

<S = 180 - 154 = 26°

Next is to find length of ST, using the law of sines: a/sin A = b/sinc B = c/sin C

Let a = RT = 28m

A = <S = 26°

b = ST

B = <R = 41°

Thus, we have:

28/sin(26°) = b/sin(41°)

Cross multiply

28*sin(41°) = b*sin(26°)

28*0.6561 = b*0.4384

18.3708 = b*0.4384

Divide both sides by 0.4384 to make b the subject of formula

18.3708/0.4384 = b

41.9041971 = b

b ≈ 42m (rounded to nearest meter)

Length of ST to nearest meter = 42 meters

Answers

Answer:

5249 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Half-Life of Carbon-14 is approximately 5730 years.

When we want to determine the age of a fossil using carbon dating, we use the formula:

[tex]t=\dfrac{\ln(N/N_0)}{-0.693} \cdot t_{1/2}[/tex]

Where:

[tex]t_{1/2}[/tex]  is the half-life of the isotope carbon 14, t = age of the fossil (or the date of death) and ln() is the natural logarithm function

In this case:

N(t)=100

[tex]N_o=53\\t_{1/2}\approx 5730$ years[/tex]

Therefore, the age of the mummy

[tex]t=\dfrac{\ln(53/100)}{-0.693} \cdot 5730\\=5249.43$ years\\t \approx 5249$ years[/tex]

Answer:

a) 135 seconds

b) 3.71 standard deviations below the mean

c) Z = -3.71

d) Unusual

Step-by-step explanation:

Z-score:

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore 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 pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question:

[tex]\mu = 245, \sigma = 36.4[/tex]

a. What is the difference between a duration time of 110 sec and the mean?

Duration of 110 seconds.

Mean of 245

245 - 110 = 135 seconds

b. How many standard deviations is that (the difference found in part (a))?

This is |Z|

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{110 - 245}{36.4}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -3.71[/tex]

[tex]|Z| = 3.71[/tex]

3.71 standard deviations below the mean

c. Convert the duration time of 110 sec to a z score

From b, Z = -3.71

d. If we consider "usual" duration times to be those that convert to z scores between -2 and 2, is a duration time of 110 sec usual or unusual?

Z is not in the interval of -2 and 2, so a duration time of 110 sec is unusual

What is the probability that the mean of my sample will be between 24 and 25 cm?

Answers

Answer:

The probability that the mean of my sample will be between 24 and 25 cm

P(24 ≤X⁻≤25) = 0.4772

Step-by-step explanation:

Step(i):-

Given mean of the Population  'μ'= 25c.m

Given standard deviation of the Population 'σ' = 8c.m

Given sample size 'n' = 256

Let X₁ = 24

[tex]Z_{1} = \frac{x_{1}-mean }{\frac{S.D}{\sqrt{n} } } = \frac{24-25}{\frac{8}{\sqrt{256} } } = -2[/tex]

Let X₂ = 25

[tex]Z_{2} = \frac{x_{2}-mean }{\frac{S.D}{\sqrt{n} } } = \frac{25-25}{\frac{8}{\sqrt{256} } } = 0[/tex]

Step(ii):-

The probability that the mean of my sample will be between 24 and 25 cm

P(24 ≤X⁻≤25) = P(-2≤ Z ≤0)

                     = P( Z≤0) - P(Z≤-2)

                     = 0.5 + A(0) - (0.5- A(-2))

                     = A(0) + A(2)        ( ∵A(-2) =A(2)

                     = 0.000+ 0.4772

                     = 0.4772

Final answer:-

The probability that the mean of my sample will be between 24 and 25 cm

P(24 ≤X⁻≤25) = 0.4772
