is this correct?
@Vocaloid
not quite "more than 3" means 4 bones and 5 bones only
4.5?
nope
look at the graph
how many people broke 4 bones? how many people broke 5 bones?
0.10 and 0.15
good now add them together
0.25
good that's your answer
@Vocaloid
1 < X < 5 in this case means X = 2,3,4 so add up the probabilities for 2, 3, and 4
still there?
yeah
what did you get?
0.51
good that's your answer
@Vocaloid
first step: add all the frequencies together 20 + 120 + 40 +20 = ?
128
check your math again, your answer should be a multiple of 10
20 + 120 = ?
140
good and 140 + 40 + 20 =?
200
good now you want to calculate the probability distribution for x = 1,2,3,4 as decimals
20/200 = ? 120/200 =? 40/200 =? 20/200 =?
0.1, 0.6 ,0.2, 0.1
good, those are the numbers you want to put as the heights of the bars so the first bar should be 0.1, second should be 0.6, etc. and that's your answer
they only go by fifth's like 0,5 to 0,10
0.1 = 0.10 0.6 = 0.60 0.2 = 0.20 0.1 = 0.10 those marks should be on the bars
ok then
same thing as before, add up the frequencies 4 + 12 + 20 + 32 + 12 = ?
80
good now we calculate the probabilities 4/80 =? 12/80=? 20/80=? 32/80=? 12/80=?
0.4 for the fourth one, thats the only one i need
oh ok, then yes, 0.4 is it
hm I forgot the shortcut method for this so I would just multiply the numbers and find the 16 possible products (sorry ;_:)
2*3 = ? 2*4 = ? 2*5 = ? 2*6 = ?
6,8,10,12
good 3*3 = ? 3*4 = ? 3*5 = ? 3*6 = ?
9,12,15,18
good 4*3 = ? 4*4 = ? 4*5 = ? 4*6 = ?
still there?
yeah, hang on
12,16,20,24
good, one more set of problems 5*3 = ? 5*4 = ? 5*5 = ? 5*6 = ?
good, now let's look over all the numbers we wrote 6,8,10,12 9,12,15,18 12,16,20,24 15,20,25,30 we have 5 numbers that are between 12 and 15 so I believe 5/16 would be our answer
A veterinarian is using a new vaccine for cats. The vaccine has a 10% probability of causing side effects. In which distributions does the variable X have a binomial distribution? Select each correct answer. When the vaccine is given to three cats, X is the number of cats that have side effects. When the vaccine is given to six cats, X is the number of cats that do not have any side effects. When the vaccine is given to multiple cats, X is the total number of cats that receive the vaccine. When the vaccine is given to multiple cats, X is the number of cats that receive the vaccine until one of them has side effects.
woah, that shouldnt be big...
since there are two outcomes for each cat (side effects vs. no) I believe it would just be the first two choices
hint: 75% of the data is below what value on the x-axis?
5?
not quite. 100% of the data is below 5 since the entire blue bar is below 5 what about 75% of the data? if you cut vertically through the boundary between the bottom 75% of the data and the top 25% what number do you hit on the x-axis?
like this:
|dw:1503950638522:dw|
4
good so your answer is 4
I'm not 100% sure but things that occur in nature tend to be normally distributed so heights and weights definitely yes, and number of rooms definitely not. I'm not sure about number of babies born but I would say yes.
The heights of the peach trees in an orchard are normally distributed with a mean of 12.5 feet and a standard deviation of 1.8 feet. What is the height of a peach tree with a z-score of −0.5−0.5 ? Enter your answer, rounded to the nearest tenth, in the box.
-0.5 = (height-mean)/standard deviation solve for height
hmm...
this is tricky
take the numbers from the problem and plug them into the equation
-0.5 = (height-mean)/standard deviation -0.5 = (height-12.5)/1.8 height = ?
i still dont get it...
yeah, im still stumped
multiply both sides by 1.8
-0.5*1.8 = height-12.5 height = ?
-0.9?
getting there
-0.9 = height - 12.5 height = ?
2.6?
-0.9 + 12.5 = ?
11.6
good that's it
wait
is it actually written as "−0.5−0.5 ?" as the z-score?
in that case you would re-do the calculation with the z-score as -1
-1 = (height - 12.5)/1.8 height = ?
11.6?
no, I said to re-do the calculation with z-score = -1 not -0.5 again, multiply both sides by 1.8
-1 = (height - 12.5)/1.8 -1.8 = height - 12.5 height = ?
@princeevee are you still there?
yeah
-1.8 = height - 12.5 height = ?
you are just solving for an unknown variable
11.3?
how do we get "height" by itself if we have "height - 12.5" on the right side?
we add the left then minus the ammount
???
what is the "opposite" of subtraction?
we add -1.8 to 12.5 then minus it
Forget -1.8 for a minute
if we have height - 12.5 how do we get "height" by itself?
what is the "opposite" of subtracting 12.5?
adding.
good, so if we have "height - 12.5" we can do the opposite of - 12.5 and add 12.5 to get height - 12.5 + 12.5 = height make sense?
25.0
no
height - 12.5 + 12.5 = height make sense?
yeah
so if we add 12.5 on one side we must add 12.5 on the other side
ok
-1.8 + 12.5 = height = ?
10.7 is what i got
good, that should be your answer
Use technology or a z-distribution table to find the indicated area. The masses of the eggs collected on a farm are normally distributed with a mean of 55 grams and a standard deviation of 4.2 grams. Approximately 80% of the eggs on the farm have a mass greater than which mass? 51.5 g 54.1 g 55.8 g 58.5 g
I used my calculator to find the z-square value corresponding to 80% which is 0.842 (InvNorm) so let's solve: 0.842 = (x-mean)/standard deviation let me know if you are having trouble
lets see....
i tried doing it and i got C, is that right?
0.842 = (x-mean)/standard deviation 0.842 = (x - 55)/4.2 x = ?
hmm...
multiply both sides by 4.2
0.842*4.2 = (x - 55)
x = ?
3.5364
if we have x - 55 how can we get "x" by itself?
...
what's the opposite of subtracting 55?
adding
adding what number?
...
if we have a hole that is 55 feet deep, then how much dirt do we have to add to fill up the hole?
do you take me as an idiot?
no
kinda sounds like you do
I'm sorry I was just losing my temper
i can just do these myself
