Answer:

Area = 12a m²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information,

→ Length = 4a m

→ Width = 3a m

Now we have to,

→ find the area of rectangular park.

Formula we use,

→ Area = L × W

Then the area of rectangle is,

→ L × W

→ 4a × 3a

→ (4 × 3)a

→ 12a m²

Therefore, the area is 12a m².

Finding the values of d and the value of m with the algebraic working will give us the the value of d to be 7 and the value of m to be 3.

Finding the value of d, we know that the sum of the first n terms of an arithmetic series is given by:

S = n/2 * (2a + (n-1)d)

Since the sum of the first n terms is S and the sum of the first 2m terms is S2m, we can set up the following equation:

S = m/2 * (2a + (m-1)d)

S2m = 2m/2 * (2a + (2m-1)d)

Substituting the given values for S and S2m into these equations, we get:

39 = m/2 * (2a + (m-1)d)

320 = 2m/2 * (2a + (2m-1)d)

Solving for d in each equation, we find that d = -7 in the first equation and d = 7 in the second equation. Since d must be a prime number, the only possible value for d is 7.

Now that we know the value of d, we can solve for m. Substituting the value of d back into one of the equations and solving for m, we get:

39 = m/2 * (2a + (m-1)7)

78 = m * (2a + (m-1)7)

78 = m * 2a + 7m^2 - 7m

7m^2 - m - 78 = 0

We can solve for m using the quadratic formula:

m = (-1 +/- sqrt(1^2 - 4*7*(-78)))/(2*7)

= (-1 +/- sqrt(2521))/14

= (-1 + 49)/14 = 3

= (-1 - 49)/14 = -7

Since m must be a positive integer, the only possible value for m is 3.

Therefore, the value of d is 7 and the value of m is 3.

The distribution of Z = X/Y is  λ₁ / (λ₁+λ₂).

The probability distribution of random variables is described using the cumulative distribution function. The probability for a discrete, continuous, or mixed variable may be described using it. The cumulative probability for a random variable is calculated by adding the probability density function.

Given:

X and Y are independent exponential random variables with respective parameters λ₁ and λ₂.

To find the distribution of Z = X/Y:

First, we have

[tex]f_x_y[/tex](x,y) = λ₁λ₂[tex]e^{-\lambda_1x[/tex][tex]e^{-\lambda_2y[/tex]

First, we find the cumulative distribution function (CDF) for Z = X/Y.

Derivative of Z, f(z) and put  a = x/y

[tex]F_z[/tex](a)  = P (X/Y ≤ a)

        = P (X ≤ aY)

        = [tex]\int\limits^{\infty}_ {x} \ \int\limits^{ay}_0 {\lambda_1\lambda_2e^{-\lambda_1x}e^{-\lambda_2y}\ dx dy[/tex]

       [tex]= \int\limits^{\infty}_ {0} {\lambda_1\lambda_2e^{-\lambda_2y}\ dy [ -1/{\lambda_1}{e^{-\lambda_1x}]\limits^{ay}_ {0}[/tex]

       [tex]= \lambda_2\int\limits^{\infty}_ {0} {e^{-\lambda_2y} - e^{-y(\lambda_2 + \lambda_1a)} \ dy[/tex]

        [tex]= \lambda_2[ [{1/{\lambda_2}+{\lambda_1a]-{e^{-\lambda_2y} + e^{-y(\lambda_2 + \lambda_1a)}]\limits^{\infty}_ {0}[/tex]

        [tex]= -[({\lambda_2}/{\lambda_2 + \lambda_1) - 1][/tex]

        [tex]= -[({\lambda_2}/{\lambda_2 + \lambda_1a) - 1][/tex]

So, P(X<Y) = P (X/Y <1)

For the normal distribution of helium porosity (in percentage) of coal samples,

a) 95% CI for the true average porosity of a certain seam is equals to ( 4.56 , 5.14 ).

b) A 98% CI for true average porosity of another seam based on 14 specimens is equals to (4.11 , 5.01).

c) Sample size with width of confidence interval 0.42 is 45.

d) Necessary Sample size to estimate true average porosity to within 0.24 is 60.

We have Assume that the helium porosity (in percentage) of coal samples taken from any particular seam is normally distributed.

Standard deviations, σ = 0.72

a)Average porosity of specimens , X-bar = 4.85

Sample size, n = 23

Confidence level , alpha = 95% = 0.95

From Normal Distribution table

Z for 95% Confidence Interval = 1.96

so,95% Confidence interval = (x-bar - Z× σ/sqrt(n) , x-bar + Z×σ/sqrt(n) )

plugging all known values in above formula,

= ( 4.85-1.96×0.72/sqrt(23) , 4.85+1.96×0.72/sqrt(23) )

So, 95% Confidence interval = ( 4.56 , 5.14 )

b)Now, Sample size, n = 14

sample mean, X-bar = 4.56

from normal distribution Z- table

Z-score for 98% CI is equal to 2.33

so,98% CI = (x-bar-Z×σ/sqrt(n) , x-bar+Z×σ/sqrt(n) )

= ( 4.56-2.33×0.72/√14 , 4.56+2.33×0.72/√14 )

98% CI = ( 4.11 , 5.01 )

c)Using the normal Distribution Z- table

Z for 95% CI = 1.96

Width of confidence interval = 0.42

we have to determine the sample size, n .

Using formula, Width = 2×Z×σ/sqrt(n)

=> n = (2×Z×sd/width)²

=> n= (2×1.96×0.72/0.42)²

=> n = 45.15

=> n = 45 ( whole number)

d) From normal distribution table

Z for 99% CI = 2.58

Margin of error, ME = 0.24

margin of error = ME = Z×σ/sqrt(n)

=> n = (Z× σ/ME)²

=> n= (2.58×0.72/0.24)²

=> n = 59.9

=> n = 60

Hence, required sample size is 60.

The change in volume of the sphere or best approximation to the increase in the volume of the sphere is 3.6π cubic inches.

In simple words, when a sphere is placed in the space or three-dimension space, then the total space acquired by the sphere generally shows the volume of the sphere. The mathematical formula needed to determine the volume of a sphere is shown below,

[tex]V = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3[/tex]

Given- The initial radius of the sphere is r1 = 3 inch and the final radius of the sphere is r2 = 3.1 inch.

Now , the change in the radius of the sphere is [tex]dR =[/tex][tex]r2 - r1 =\\[/tex] 3.1 - 3 = 0.1 inch.

The mathematical expression of the volume of a sphere is shown below,

[tex]V = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3[/tex]   (here, [tex]r[/tex] is the radius of sphere)

Differentiate the above shown expression with respect to radius ([tex]r[/tex]) as shown below,

[tex]\frac{d}{dr} (V) = \frac{d}{dr} (\frac{4}{3} ) \pi r^3[/tex]

∴

dV/dR = 4/3 π × d/dR(r^3)

Let x be the length of the shorter wall of the rectangular room and y be the length of the longer wall of the rectangular room. Since the longer wall is 7 ft longer than the shorter wall, we can write the equation y = x + 7. We can also express the diagonal of the rectangular room using the Pythagorean theorem as x^2 + y^2 = 13^2. We can solve for x and y by substituting the equation y = x + 7 into the equation x^2 + y^2 = 13^2 and then solving for x. Doing this, we get x^2 + (x + 7)^2 = 13^2. Expanding the square on the right side of the equation and then rearranging the terms, we get x^2 + 2x^2 + 14x + 49 = 169. Combining like terms, we get 3x^2 + 14x - 120 = 0. This quadratic equation can be factored as (x - 8)(3x + 15) = 0. Since the length of a side of a rectangle must be positive, we can ignore the solution x = -15/3. So, the length of the shorter wall of the rectangular room is x = 8 ft. The length of the longer wall can be found by substituting this value into the equation y = x + 7, giving us y = 8 + 7 = 15 ft. Therefore, the dimensions of the rectangular room are 8 ft by 15 ft.

The answers reasonably approximates the requested value of the sample mean with justification is c. "Bar-w"=13.70 since we can use a normal approximation by the CLT.

Since the sample size is large (n=50), we can use the central limit theorem (CLT) to approximate the sampling distribution of the sample mean with a normal distribution.

The mean of the sampling distribution of the sample mean is equal to the mean of the population, which is 13 feet in this case. The standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the sample mean is equal to the standard deviation of the population divided by the square root of the sample size. This is known as the standard error of the mean, and is denoted by SE(Bar-W).

In this case, SE(Bar-W) = 2.4/sqrt(50) = 0.48.

To find the 98th percentile of a normal distribution with mean 13 and standard deviation 0.48, we can use a standard normal table or a calculator to find that the 98th percentile is approximately 2.05.

Therefore, the value that 98% of samples will have the realized value of Bar-W less than is approximately 13 + 2.05 * 0.48 = 13.70. This means that the correct answer is (c) "Bar-w"=13.70 since we can use a normal approximation by the CLT.

Answer: -32

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the equation -128 = 4x for x, we need to isolate the x variable on one side of the equation. We can do this by dividing both sides of the equation by 4. This gives us:

-128/4 = 4x/4

Dividing -128 by 4 gives us -32, so we have:

-32 = 4x/4

We can simplify this by dividing both sides by 4/4 to get:

-32 = x

Thus, the solution to the equation -128 = 4x is x = -32.
