Let x be a random variable that represents the weights in kilograms (kg) of healthy adult female deer (does) in December in a national park. Then x has a distribution that is approximately normal with mean ? = 64.0 kg and standard deviation ? = 8.3 kg. Suppose a doe that weighs less than 55 kg is considered undernourished.

(a) What is the probability that a single doe captured (weighed and released) at random in December is undernourished? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)


(b) If the park has about 2200 does, what number do you expect to be undernourished in December? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)
does

(c) To estimate the health of the December doe population, park rangers use the rule that the average weight of n = 60 does should be more than 61 kg. If the average weight is less than 61 kg, it is thought that the entire population of does might be undernourished. What is the probability that the average weight  x for a random sample of 60 does is less than 61 kg (assuming a healthy population)? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)



(d) Compute the probability that  x < 65 kg for 60 does (assume a healthy population). (Round your answer to four decimal places.)



Suppose park rangers captured, weighed, and released 60 does in December, and the average weight was  x = 65 kg. Do you think the doe population is undernourished or not? Explain.

Since the sample average is below the mean, it is quite unlikely that the doe population is undernourished.

Since the sample average is above the mean, it is quite unlikely that the doe population is undernourished.    

Since the sample average is above the mean, it is quite likely that the doe population is undernourished.

I am supposed to answer these conceptual questions with this lab simulator, but I can never get the simulator to work https://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/legacy/energy-skate-park

Help please?

Energy State Park Lab Handout

Click on the “Energy State Park Simulation” link to perform simulations in the setup satisfying the given conditions.

Upon opening the simulation, the skate should be alternating between the walls of the skate park with no friction added and with Earth’s gravity. Click on the Show Pie Chart under the Energy Graphs section.

  1. With no friction, will his motion every stop?

  1. What principle can be applied to this situation?

  1. What type of forces are applied here? (Conservative/Non-conservative)

  1. What happens to the skater’s potential energy has he falls down a wall to the valley? What about when he moves up a wall from the valley?

  1. What happens to the skater’s kinetic energy has he falls down a wall to the valley? What about when he moves up a wall from the valley?

  1. Will any kinetic energy be transformed into thermal energy? If so , why? If not, why?

  1. Where does the skater have the maximum potential energy?

  1. Where does the skater have the maximum kinetic energy?

Now change the coefficient of friction to half way between None and Lots.

  1. Are there any non-conservative forces in this simulation? If so what force?

  1. With friction, will the skater ever stop?

  1. Would thermal energy be created with this situation?

Conceptual Questions:

  1. What is the formula for kinetic energy?

  1. What is the formula for gravitational potential energy?

  1. If the 75 kg skater reaches a maximum height of 5 feet, what is his maximum gravitational potential energy? (Hint: remember to convert to meters).

  1. Is gravitational potential energy a conservative or non-conservative force? Is friction force a conservative or non-conservation force?

An article in the Wall Street Journal on the parking problems at​ Tesla's Fremont, California factory...

An article in the Wall Street Journal on the parking problems at​ Tesla's Fremont, California factory notes​ that: "Tesla has tried to encourage alternatives to​ driving, such as​ biking, public transportation and the shuttle buses provided from around the Bay Area​ ..."

If Tesla auctioned off the right to park in its​ lot, would the firm need to provide other encouragement for employees to use alternative means of​ transportation? Briefly explain.

A.

​Yes, it would remain necessary to provide alternatives to driving because the price of parking spaces would rise.

B.

​No, it would not be necessary because the spaces would be allocated to those most willing to pay for them.

C.

​No, encouraging the use of transportation alternatives would not be necessary due to a shortage of spaces.

D.

​Yes, encouraging driving alternatives would still be necessary because the supply of spaces would be unchanged.

Is the most economically efficient allocation of parking spaces in​ Tesla's lot likely to result from auctioning off the right to park or from keeping parking free while encouraging employees to use alternative means of getting to​ work? Briefly explain.

A.

Keeping parking​ free, because no one has to pay anything for parking.

B.

Keeping parking​ free, because those with less income may get a parking space.

C.

Auctioning off the right to​ park, because the people who get the parking spaces would be determined randomly.

D.

Auctioning off the right to​ park, because those who benefit the most from the parking spaces would receive them.

Given your answer​ above, why​ hasn't Tesla considered charging employees for parking in its​ lot?

A.

Employees may consider this method to be unfair.

B.

Tesla workers are not rational.

C.

Managers may believe that they should not be charged for parking.

D.

Charging employees for parking is too​ time-consuming.
