The next three problems refer to the following situation: Suppose that a sample of 15 randomly chosen people were put on a special weight loss diet. The amount of weight lost, in pounds, follows an unknown distribution with mean equal to 12 pounds and standard deviation equal to 3 pounds. Assume that the distribution for the weight loss is normal.

To find the probability that the mean amount of weight lost by 15 people is no more than 14 pounds, the random variable should be:

• The number of people who lost weight on the special weight loss diet
• The number of people who were on the diet
• The mean amount of weight lost by 15 people on the special weight loss diet
• The total amount of weight lost by 15 people on the special weight loss diet

C

Find the probability asked for in the previous problem.

0.9951

Find the 90th percentile for the mean amount of weight lost by 15 people.

The next three questions refer to the following situation: The time of occurrence of the first accident during rush-hour traffic at a major intersection is uniformly distributed between the three hour interval 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. Let $X$ = the amount of time (hours) it takes for the first accident to occur.

• So, if an accident occurs at 4 p.m., the amount of time, in hours, it took for the accident to occur is _______.
• $\mu =$ _______
• ${\sigma }^{2}=$ _______

What is the probability that the time of occurrence is within the first half-hour or the last hour of the period from 4 to 7 p.m.?

B

What follows is information about the students who receive financial aid at the local community college.

• 1st quartile = $250 • 2nd quartile =$700

• 50
• 250
• 150
• Cannot be determined

• 150

The next two problems refer to the following information: $P\left(A\right)=0\text{.}2$ , $P\left(B\right)=0\text{.}3$ , $A$ and $B$ are independent events.

$P\left(A\phantom{\rule{2pt}{0ex}}\text{AND}\phantom{\rule{2pt}{0ex}}B\right)=$

• 0.5
• 0.6
• 0
• 0.06

D

$P\left(A\phantom{\rule{2pt}{0ex}}\text{OR}\phantom{\rule{2pt}{0ex}}B\right)=$

• 0.56
• 0.5
• 0.44
• 1

C

If $H$ and $D$ are mutually exclusive events,  $P\left(H\right)=0\text{.}\text{25}$ , $P\left(D\right)=0\text{.}\text{15}$ , then $P\left(H|D\right)$

• 1
• 0
• 0.40
• 0.0375

B

can someone help me with some logarithmic and exponential equations.
20/(×-6^2)
Salomon
okay, so you have 6 raised to the power of 2. what is that part of your answer
I don't understand what the A with approx sign and the boxed x mean
it think it's written 20/(X-6)^2 so it's 20 divided by X-6 squared
Salomon
I'm not sure why it wrote it the other way
Salomon
I got X =-6
Salomon
ok. so take the square root of both sides, now you have plus or minus the square root of 20= x-6
oops. ignore that.
so you not have an equal sign anywhere in the original equation?

what is a good calculator for all algebra; would a Casio fx 260 work with all algebra equations? please name the cheapest, thanks.

algebra 2 Inequalities:If equation 2 = 0 it is an open set?
or infinite solutions?
Kim
The answer is neither. The function, 2 = 0 cannot exist. Hence, the function is undefined.

In this morden time nanotechnology used in many field . 1-Electronics-manufacturad IC ,RAM,MRAM,solar panel etc 2-Helth and Medical-Nanomedicine,Drug Dilivery for cancer treatment etc 3- Atomobile -MEMS, Coating on car etc. and may other field for details you can check at Google
Azam
anybody can imagine what will be happen after 100 years from now in nano tech world
Prasenjit
after 100 year this will be not nanotechnology maybe this technology name will be change . maybe aftet 100 year . we work on electron lable practically about its properties and behaviour by the different instruments
Azam
name doesn't matter , whatever it will be change... I'm taking about effect on circumstances of the microscopic world
Prasenjit
how hard could it be to apply nanotechnology against viral infections such HIV or Ebola?
Damian
silver nanoparticles could handle the job?
Damian
not now but maybe in future only AgNP maybe any other nanomaterials
Azam
can nanotechnology change the direction of the face of the world
At high concentrations (>0.01 M), the relation between absorptivity coefficient and absorbance is no longer linear. This is due to the electrostatic interactions between the quantum dots in close proximity. If the concentration of the solution is high, another effect that is seen is the scattering of light from the large number of quantum dots. This assumption only works at low concentrations of the analyte. Presence of stray light.
the Beer law works very well for dilute solutions but fails for very high concentrations. why?
how did you get the value of 2000N.What calculations are needed to arrive at it
