C = 220T + 1890.

Solve the equation for T.

220T = C - 1890

T = C/220 - 8.6

The steel produced is expected to be sold at a price of $310 per ton.

310 $/ton is a rate or slope. Write a linear equation where x is tons of steel produced and y is selling price of the steel.

y = 310x

Write and solve an equation to find the amount of steel produced if the selling price is equal to the cost of production.

* Here, note that the cost of production and tons of steel in the first equation is in the millions. The equation we just wrote for the selling price was in x tons of steel. This only matters in regards to the units you specify because; million/million = 1

The unit multiplier of all variables must be specified as same. Either everything is in millions or not.

Here, I'll leave everything in millions, change x (tons of steel) to T (mill tons steel) and "y" to "S" in million dollars selling price.

S = 310T

Set equal to Cost equation.

220T + 1980 = 310T

Solve for T, million tons of steel produced.

1980 = 310T - 220T

1980 = 90T

T = 1980/90

T = 22 million tons steel produced

According to a recent survey, the population distribution of number of years of education for self-employed individuals in a c

creativ13 [48]

Answer:

a) X: number of years of education

b) Sample mean = 13.5, Sample standard deviation = 0.4

c) Sample mean = 13.5, Sample standard deviation = 0.2

d) Decrease the sample standard deviation

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Mean, μ = 13.5 years

Standard deviation,σ = 2.8 years

a) random variable X

X: number of years of education

Central limit theorem:

If large random samples are drawn from population with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , then the distribution of sample mean will be normally distributed with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

b) mean and the standard for a random sample of size 49

$\mu_{\bar{x}} = \mu = 13.5\\\\\sigma_{\bar{x}} = \dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} = \dfrac{2.8}{\sqrt{49}} = 0.4$

c) mean and the standard for a random sample of size 196

$\mu_{\bar{x}} = \mu = 13.5\\\\\sigma_{\bar{x}} = \dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} = \dfrac{2.8}{\sqrt{196}} = 0.2$

d) Effect of increasing n

As the sample size increases, the standard error that is the sample standard deviation decreases. Thus, quadrupling sample size will half the standard deviation.
