Suppose 4-year-olds in a certain country average 3 hours a day unsupervised and that most of the unsupervised children live in rural areas, considered safe. Suppose that the standard deviation is 1.8 hours and the amount of time spent alone is normally distributed. We randomly survey one 4-year-old living in a rural area. We are interested in the amount of time the child spends alone per day. What percent of the children spend over 10 hours per day unsupervised?

Answers

Answer 1

A Z-score helps us to understand how far is the data from the mean. The percentage of children who spend over 10 hours per day unsupervised is 0.005%.

What is Z-score?

A Z-score helps us to understand how far is the data from the mean. It is a measure of how many times the data is above or below the mean. It is given by the formula,

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

Where Z is the Z-score,

X is the data point,

μ is the mean and σ is the standard variable.

Given that the average time that is unsupervised is 3 hours and the standard deviation is 1.8 hours. The percentage of children who spend over 10 hours per day unsupervised is,

P(X>10) = 1 - P(X<10)

            [tex]= 1 - P(Z < \dfrac{10-3}{1.8})[/tex]

            = 1 - P(Z< 3.889)

            = 1 - 0.99995

            = 0.00005

Hence, The percentage of children who spend over 10 hours per day unsupervised is 0.005%.

Answer 2

Less than 0.01% of rural 4-year-olds spend over 10 hours unsupervised per day based on mean, standard deviation, and normal distribution.

To find the percentage of children spending over 10 hours per day unsupervised, we can use the z-score formula to standardize the value and then find the area under the normal distribution curve.

The formula for the z-score is:

[tex]\[ z = \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma} \][/tex]

Where:

[tex]- \( x \) is the value we're interested in (10 hours per day)\\- \( \mu \) is the mean (3 hours per day)\\- \( \sigma \) is the standard deviation (1.8 hours)[/tex]

Let's calculate the z-score:

[tex]\[ z = \frac{10 - 3}{1.8} = \frac{7}{1.8} \approx 3.89 \][/tex]

Now, we'll find the area to the right of this z-score in the standard normal distribution table (or using a calculator). This represents the percentage of children spending over 10 hours per day unsupervised.

From the standard normal distribution table or calculator, a z-score of 3.89 corresponds to approximately 0.9999.

This means that approximately 99.99% of the children spend less than 10 hours per day unsupervised.

However, if you're looking for the percentage of children spending over 10 hours per day unsupervised, you'd subtract this from 100%:

100% - 99.99% =approx 0.01%

So, only about 0.01% of the children spend over 10 hours per day unsupervised.

A correlation coefficient of .89 indicates that _____.

Answers

Final answer:

The correlation coefficient indicates the strength of the relationship between variables. The closer it is to 1, the stronger the relationship. If it is 0, there is no relationship.

Explanation:

The number portion of the correlation coefficient indicates the strength of the relationship. The closer the number is to 1 (be it negative or positive), the more strongly related the variables are, and the more predictable changes in one variable will be as the other variable changes. The closer the number is to zero, the weaker the relationship, and the less predictable the relationships between the variables becomes. For instance, a correlation coefficient of 0.9 indicates a far stronger relationship than a correlation coefficient of 0.3. If the variables are not related to one another at all, the correlation coefficient is 0.

Mr. Potts, the college Pastry Chef, baked three apple pies, two blueberry pies, five cherry pies, and six key lime pies for the student fundraiser. What percent of the pies were apple?

Answers

3 apple, 2 blueberry, 5 cherry, 6 key lime.....for a total of 16 pies

what percent of the pies were apple...

3/16 = 0.1875 = 18.75% <=

Answer:

18.75%

Step-by-step explanation:

Mr. Potts, the college Pastry Chef baked pies for the student fundraiser.

He baked apple pies = 3

Blueberry pies = 2

Cherry pies = 5

Key lime pies = 6

We have to calculate the percentage of the apple pies.

Total number of pies that he baked =  3 + 2 + 5 + 6 = 16 pies

Percentage of Apple pies = [tex]\frac{3}{16}[/tex] × 100

                                           = 0.1875 × 100

                                           = 18.75%

18.75% was apple pie.

If the population decreases with a constant rate of change and the decrease is 7% in the first year, what will the town's population be in 6 years? (round to the nearest person)

Answers

Given that the population of a town today is 33,000 people.

If the population decreases with a constant rate of change and the decrease is 7% in the first year.

The decrease in the population of the town in the first year is given by 0.07 x 33,000 = 2,310

The decrease in the population of the town in 6 years is given by 2,310 x 6 = 13,860

Therefore, in 6 years, the town's population will be 33,000 - 13,860 = 19,140

The base of the building is an equilateral triangle 180 meters on each side. The height of the prism is 25m. Find the height, of the triangular base.

Answers

The height of the triangular base is  155.46 m.

To find the height of the equilateral triangle base of the prism, we'll first determine the height of one of its constituent triangles.

The height ( h ) of an equilateral triangle is given by [tex]\( h = \sqrt{3}/2 \times \text{side length} \).[/tex]

Calculate the height of one triangle:

[tex]\[ h = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \times 180 \, \text{m} = \frac{\sqrt{3} \times 180}{2} = \frac{180\sqrt{3}}{2} = 90\sqrt{3} \, \text{m} \][/tex]

Calculate the total height of the prism:

The height of the prism is given as 25 m.

Calculate the total height:

Total height = height of one triangle + height of the prism

[tex]\[ \text{Total height} = 90\sqrt{3} \, \text{m} + 25 \, \text{m} = 90\sqrt{3} + 25 \, \text{m} = 155.46 \, \text{m} \][/tex]

So, the height of the triangular base is  155.46 m

Answers

Now we need to find the percentage of scores that are below -1.75. To do this, we need to look -1.75 up in the normal distribution table (your teacher should have given you one or there should be one in your textbook). If we do this, we find that approximately 4% of scores are below -1.75. z = (X - M)/S, where X is a score, M is the mean and S is the standard deviation. In your case, we have z = (1 - 2.4)/.8. This gives us a z-score of -1.75.

​if a population of scores is normally distributed, has a mean of 45 and a standard deviation of 6, the most extreme 5% of the scores lie beyond the score(s) of _________.
a. 35.13
c. 56.76 and 33.24
b. 45.99
d. 45.99 and 35.13

Answers

Final answer:

To find the most extreme 5% of normally distributed scores with a mean of 45 and a standard deviation of 6, we look for scores beyond the z-score cut-offs corresponding to 2.5% and 97.5%. The z-score around 1.96 gives us two scores: 56.76 on the high end and 33.24 on the low end, indicating that answer 'c' is correct.

Explanation:

To determine the most extreme 5% of the scores in a normally distributed population with a mean of 45 and a standard deviation of 6, we need to find the z-score that corresponds to the tails of the distribution where the cumulative area is either less than 2.5% or greater than 97.5% (since 5% is split into two tails of the distribution).

Using a standard normal distribution table or a calculator, the z-score that corresponds to the upper 97.5% is typically about 1.96 (or sometimes 1.645 for a one-tailed test). To find the actual scores corresponding to these z-scores, we use the formula for transforming a z-score into an actual value which is:
X = μ + (z • σ)

For the upper extreme:
X = 45 + (1.96 • 6) = 56.76

For the lower extreme:
X = 45 - (1.96 • 6) = 33.24

Thus, the most extreme 5% of the scores lie beyond scores of 56.76 and 33.24. Therefore, the correct answer is c. 56.76 and 33.24.
