According to medical data, the ages at which patients have their first knee replacement surgery follows a normal distribution. The average age for a first knee replacement is 58 years of age, with a
standard deviation of 8.25 years. Therefore, doctors can expect the middle 68% of their knee
replacement surgery patients to be between what ages?

The doctors can expect the middle 68 % of their knee replacement surgery patients to be between 49.75 years and 66.25 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

68 % of the knee replacement surgery patients implies that the ages lies within x = x₀ ± σ where x₀ = mean age = 58 years and σ = standard deviation = 8.25 years

So, the ages lies between x₀ + σ and x₀ - σ

So, the ages lie between 58 - 8.25 = 49.75 years

and 58 + 8.25 = 66.25 years

So the doctors can expect the middle 68 % of their knee replacement surgery patients to be between 49.75 years and 66.25 years.

let f (x ) is a function and c be a positive real number,   the graph of the function g (x ) = f (cx ) is represented as follows.

when, c > 1,   the function compresses it in the x - direction.

when, 0 < c < 1, the function stretches it.

the function is g ( x ) = (9x )2.

the heighest power of x in g ( x ) = (9x )2 is 2, so the parent function is square function.

the equation of parent function is f ( x ) = x 2 .

the function is g ( x ) = (9x )2 and the parent function is f ( x ) = x 2 .

so, the functions f and g have the following relationship.

g ( x ) = f ( 9x ).

compare the function g ( x ) = f ( 9x ) with g (x ) = f (cx ).

c = 9 ( > 1 ).

so, the function g (x ) = (9x )2 compresses it in the x - direction.
