Split up each force into horizontal and vertical components.

• 300 N at N30°E :

(300 N) (cos(30°) i + sin(30°) j)

• 400 N at N60°E :

(400 N) (cos(60°) i + sin(60°) j)

• 500 N at N80°E :

(500 N) (cos(80°) i + sin(80°) j)

The resultant force is the sum of these forces,

∑ F = (300 cos(30°) + 400 cos(60°) + 500 cos(80°)) i

… … … + (300 sin(30°) + 400 sin(60°) + 500 sin(80°)) j N

∑ F ≈ (546.632 i + 988.814 j) N

so ∑ F has a magnitude of approximately 1129.85 N and points in the direction of approximately N61.0655°E.

Answer:

96.49% probability that the mean rent is more than $1100

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .
