Using the normal distribution and the central limit theorem, we have that:

  • The distribution of X is X \approx N(60,11).
  • The distribution of \bar{X} is \bar{X} \approx (60,3.1754).
  • 0.0637 = 6.37% probability that a single person consumes between 59.3 mL and 61.2 mL.
  • 0.2351 = 23.51% probability that the sample mean of the consumption of 12 people is between 59.3 mL and 61.2 mL. Since the sample size is less than 30, a normal distribution has to be assumed.

<h3>Normal Probability Distribution</h3>

The z-score of a measure X of a normally distributed variable with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma is given by:

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

  • The z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is above or below the mean.
  • Looking at the z-score table, the p-value associated with this z-score is found, which is the percentile of X.
  • By the Central Limit Theorem, the sampling distribution of sample means of size n has standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

In this problem, the parameters are given as follows:

\mu = 60, \sigma = 11, n = 12, s = \frac{11}{\sqrt{12}} = 3.1754.

Hence:

  • The distribution of X is X \approx N(60,11).
  • The distribution of \bar{X} is \bar{X} \approx (60,3.1754).

The probabilities are given by the <u>p-value of Z when X = 61.2 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 59.3</u>, hence, for a single individual:

X = 61.2:

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

Z = \frac{61.2 - 60}{11}

Z = 0.11

Z = 0.11 has a p-value of 0.5398.

X = 59.3:

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

Z = \frac{59.3 - 60}{11}

Z = -0.06

Z = -0.06 has a p-value of 0.4761.

0.5398 - 0.4761 = 0.0637.

0.0637 = 6.37% probability that a single person consumes between 59.3 mL and 61.2 mL.

For the sample of 12, we have that:

X = 61.2:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

Z = \frac{61.2 - 60}{3.1754}

Z = 0.38

Z = 0.38 has a p-value of 0.6480.

X = 59.3:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

Z = \frac{59.3 - 60}{3.1754}

Z = -0.22

Z = -0.22 has a p-value of 0.4129.

0.6480 - 0.4129 = 0.2351 = 23.51% probability that the sample mean of the consumption of 12 people is between 59.3 mL and 61.2 mL. Since the sample size is less than 30, a normal distribution has to be assumed.

Which expression is equivalent to
pychu [463]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

i cannot find an answer from the expression but i can guess if you didnt follow pemdas, it would be d

3.5 × 102  is 357

(8 × 10−4) + (6 × 10−4)  is 132

132/357= .369 or .37 or 0 simplified

d is 4*10-10

10-10 is 0

4*0 is 0

A table is on sale for 26 % off. The sale price is $ 333 . What is the original price?
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

$450

Step-by-step explanation:

The sale price is computed from ...

... sale price = original price - discount

where ...

... discount = (original price) × 26%

Putting these together, we get ...

... sale price = (original price) - 0.26×(original price)

... sale price = (original price) × (1 - 0.26) = 0.74×(original price)

Dividing by 0.74, we find ...

... original price = (sale price)/0.74

... $333/0.74 = $450 = original price
