We will assume that we have a function relating between the time and the temperature. Any point in this function can be expressed as (x,y) where x is the time and y is the temperature (any point is expressed as (time, temperature)).
We have two points given:
<span>At 7 p.m. the temperature is 72 degrees F: First point is (7,72)
</span><span>At 10 p.m. the temperature is 52 degrees F: Second point is (10,52)
The rate of change is simply the slope of this function, this slope can be calculated as:
rate of change = (y2-y1) / (x2-x2)
we have y2= 52, y1= 72, x2= 10 and x1= 7
Substituting in the equation, we can calculate the rate of change as follows:
rate of change = (52-72) / (10-7) = -6.667 degrees/hours
Note: The negative sign indicated a DECREASE in the temperature.</span>
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Let's substitute -3 for
Now, let's solve
Hope this helps
Part a)
It was given that 3% of patients gained weight as a side effect.
This means
The mean is
The standard deviation is
We want to find the probability that exactly 24 patients will gain weight as side effect.
P(X=24)
We apply the Continuity Correction Factor(CCF)
P(24-0.5<X<24+0.5)=P(23.5<X<24.5)
We convert to z-scores.
Part b) We want to find the probability that 24 or fewer patients will gain weight as a side effect.
P(X≤24)
We apply the continuity correction factor to get;
P(X<24+0.5)=P(X<24.5)
We convert to z-scores to get:
Part c)
We want to find the probability that
11 or more patients will gain weight as a side effect.
P(X≥11)
Apply correction factor to get:
P(X>11-0.5)=P(X>10.5)
We convert to z-scores:
Part d)
We want to find the probability that:
between 24 and 28, inclusive, will gain weight as a side effect.
P(24≤X≤28)=
P(23.5≤X≤28.5)
Convert to z-scores:
The answer is A because it’s 1/5
