A certain type of bird lives in two regions of a state. The distribution of weight for birds of this type in the northern region

is approximately normal with mean 10 ounces and standard deviation 3 ounces. The distribution of weight for birds of this type in the southern region is approximately normal with mean 16 ounces and standard deviation 2.5 ounces.(a) Calculate the z-scores for a weight of 13 ounces for a bird living in the northern region and for a weight of 13 ounces for a bird living in the southern region.(b) Is it more likely that a bird of this type with a weight greater than 13 ounces lives in the northern region or the southern region? Justify your answer.

Réponse :

a) Le score Z pour la région nord est 1, tandis que pour la région sud il est -1.2.

b) Il s'agit de la région sud.

Déroulement des calculs :

a) La formule du score Z est Z = (x – moyenne) / écart-type.

Soit x le poids des oiseaux.

Pour le nord :

Z = (13 – 10) / 3

Z = 1

Pour le sud :

Z = (13 – 16) / 2.5

Z = -1.2

b) Pour déterminer dans quelle région on trouve plus probablement un oiseau avec 13 onces, on calcule la probabilité associée à chaque score Z.

Dans la région nord :

P(x > 13) = P(Z > 1)

En utilisant la table des Z pour obtenir l'aire sous la courbe :

P(x > 13) = 0.1587

Dans la région sud :

P(x > 13) = P(Z > -1.2)

On regarde dans la table des Z :

P(x > 13) = 0.8849

Il est donc plus probable qu'un oiseau pesant plus de 13 onces habite dans la région sud.

Adam and his dad share the cost of the meal in the ratio of 2:3. Adam’s dad pays £52.20. What is the total cost of the meal
tester [12383]
Adam and his dad split the bill in a 2:3 ratio. The dad’s share equals the 3 parts and is £52.20, so one part is 52.20 ÷ 3 = £17.40. Adam’s portion (2 parts) is 2 × 17.40 = £34.80. The total cost is 34.80 + 52.20 = £87.00.

Ivan and Tanya share £150 in the ratio 4:1 how much more Ivan has then tanya
Zina [12379]

Hello!

--------------------------------------------------------

Solution:

The ratio is expressed as 4 to 1.

Add these parts together.

4 + 1 equals 5.

Now divide.

150 divided by 5 results in 30.

Next, multiply to find Ivan's share.

30 multiplied by 4 gives us 120.

30 multiplied by 1 equals 30 for Tanya.

Verify.

120 plus 30 totals 150.

Then subtract.

120 minus 30 equals 90.

--------------------------------------------------------

Answer:

Ivan possesses £90 more than Tanya!

--------------------------------------------------------

I hope this has been helpful! Best of luck!

Stanley is building a rectangular fence with 44 feet of fencing. If the width is two less than half the length, what is the widt
Zina [12379]

Response:

The fence's width is 6 feet.

Detailed explanation:

To start, let’s define some variables.

Let the width of the fence be denoted as w, and the length as l.

Next, determine the length: the width is 2 feet less than half of the length.

w = l/2 - 2

Alternatively, l/2 can be expressed as w + 2, leading to l = 2(w + 2).

The total perimeter of the fence is 44 feet. The perimeter for a rectangle can be calculated using the formula:

P = 2(l + w)

Inserting what we know:

P = 44 and l = 2(w + 2)

44 = 2(2(w+2) + w)

44 = 2(2w + 4 + w)

44 = 2(3w + 4)

44 = 6w + 8

6w = 36

w = 36/6

w = 6 feet

Suppose that you have two different algorithms for solving a problem. to solve a problem of size n, the first algorithm uses exa
tester [12383]
<span>We have two expressions: n(log(n)) and n3=2. The second expression involves fewer operations. From it, we can derive n = 2/3. For the left-hand side to equal the right-hand side, n cannot go beyond 2/3. No further operations can be applied at that level. Conversely, if we set n = 10, we find 10(log(10)) = 1. As we escalate n to 100, 100(log(100)) equals 200, and for n = 300, 300(log(300)) results in about 743.1. The logarithmic function increases without limit, while for the first operation, once n hits 2/3, it halts. Therefore, the second expression has fewer operations overall.</span>

Given A is between Y and Z and YA=22, AZ=16x, and YZ=166, find AZ
AnnZ [12381]


YA + AZ = YZ

22 + 16x = 166

16x = 166 - 22

16x = 144

x = 144/16

x = 9

AZ = 144
