A certain length measurement is performed 500 times. The mean value is 5.0m, and the standard deviation is 2cms. Assuming a normal distribution for the error in the measurement, how many readings fall within 5.15cm of the mean value

Answers

Answer 1

Using the normal distribution, it is found that 495 readings fall within 5.15cm of the mean value.

In a normal distribution 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]

It 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, which is the percentile of X.

In this problem:

Mean of 5m, hence [tex]\mu = 5[/tex].Standard deviation of 2 cm, hence [tex]\sigma = 0.02[/tex]

To find the proportion of readings that fall within 5.15cm of the mean value, first we need to find the following z-score:

[tex]z = \frac{0.0515}{0.02}[/tex]

[tex]z = 2.575[/tex]

The proportion is P(|z| < 2.575), which is the p-value of z = 2.575 subtracted by the p-value of z = -2.575.

Looking at the z-table, z = -2.575 has a p-value of 0.005, and z = 2.575 has a p-value of 0.995.

0.995 - 0.05 = 0.99

Out of 500 measurements:

(0.99)500 = 495

495 readings fall within 5.15cm of the mean value.

Find the indefinite integral|(12x+5)dx

Answers

[tex]\int {12x+5} \, dx[/tex]

For this problem, let's first apply the intergral sum rule.

[tex]\int {12x+5} \, dx = \int{12x} \, dx + \int{5}x \,dx[/tex]

Then, we'll use the reverse power rule on each of these integrals.

[tex]\int{12x} \,dx = 6x^2+C[/tex]

[tex]\int{5} \,dx = 5x+C[/tex]

So the indefinite integral of [tex]\int{12x+5} \,dx[/tex] is [tex]6x^2+5x+C[/tex].

Remember that we need our constant of integration, [tex]C[/tex], because of if we take the derivative of a constant, it'll be 0.

Hope this helps!

Hi there!

[tex]\int\limits {12x+5} \, dx[/tex]

Answers

The amount that will be spent is $24.50, the amount saved will be $10.50, and the percentage saved will be 30%.

The amount that will be spent will be:

= 7/10 × $35 = $24.50

The amount that will be saved will be:

Begin by noting that [tex]e^{-\frac{1}{2}[/tex] is a constant and can be pulled out front of the integration symbol:

[tex]e^{-\frac{1}{2}}\int\limits^\pi _0 {e^{-x}} \, dx[/tex]

Choose u = -x, so du/dx = -1 and -du = dx. Put that - out front along with what's already there to get:

[tex]-e^{-\frac{1}{2}}\int\limits^\pi _0 {e^{-u}} \, du[/tex]

The antiderivative of e^-u is e^-u, so putting it all together and applying the First Fundamental Theorem of Calculus:

[tex]-e^{-\frac{1}{2}}(e^{-\pi }-e^0)[/tex] which simplifies to

[tex]-e^{-\frac{1}{2}}(e^{-\pi }-1)[/tex] which simplifies to

(8×8)-(8×4)

The figure below shows the graph of function f with domain [-1,1] and range [0,1].

Answers

The domain are the possible input while the range are the possible output

of a function.

(a) The domain = [-√2, √2], the range = [0, 2](b) The domain = [-1, 1], the range = [0, 1](c) The domain = [-1, 1], the range = [0, -1](d) The domain = [0, 2], the range = [0, 1](e) The domain = [-(2 + √2), (√2 - 2)], the range = [0, 2]

Reasons:

The given functions can be expressed by the equation; (-x + 1)·(x + 1) = -x² + 1

Therefore, we have;

(a) y = f(x) + 1 = -x² + 1 + 1 = -x² + 2

The x-intercept of the above function are, x = √2, and x = -√2

Which gives;

The domain = [-√2, √2]

The range = [0, 2]

(b) y = 3·f(x) = 3 × (-x² + 1) = -3·x² + 3

At the x–intercepts, we have;

-3·x² + 3 = 0

x = ±1

The domain = [-1, 1]

The maximum value of y is given at x = 0, therefore;

= -3 × 0² + 3 = 3

The range = [0, 1]

(c) y = -f(x) = -(-x² + 1) = x² - 1

At the x–intercepts, x² - 1 = 0

x = ± 1

The domain = [-1, 1]

The minimum value of y is given at x = 0, which is y = -1

The range = [0, -1]

(d) y = f(x - 1) = -(x - 1)² + 1 = -x² + 2·x

At the x–intercepts, we have;  -x² + 2·x = 0, which gives;

(-x + 2)·x = 0

Which gives, x = 0, or x = 2

The domain = [0, 2]

The maximum value of y is given when x = -b/(2·a) = -2/(2×(-1)) = 1

y = f(1) =  -1² + 2×1 = 1

Therefore;

The range = [0, 1]

(e) y = f(x + 2) + 1 = (-(x + 2)² + 1) + 1 = -x² - 4·x - 2

At the x–intercepts, we have;  -x² - 4·x - 2 = 0, which gives;

x = -(2 + √2) or x = x = √2 - 2

The domain = [-(2 + √2), (√2 - 2)]

The maximum value of y is given when x = -4/(2)) = -2

Which gives;

-(-2)² - 4·(-2) - 2 = 2

The range = [0, 2]

A = -5/4B = -0.5C = 2

=====================================

Explanation:

The fraction -5/4 converts to -1.25 after using your calculator or long division. It represents the mixed number -1 & 1/4. So we go 1 full unit to the left to arrive at -1, then we move another 1/4 unit to the left to get to point A. That's why point A is located at -5/4 = -1.25 = -1 & 1/4.

Point B is directly midway between 0 and -1, so it must be at -0.5; you can use the midpoint formula.
