Using the normal distribution, there is a 0.4826 = 48.26% probability that the sample mean is between 15 and 16 grams per day.

<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}}.

For this problem, the parameters are given as follows:

\mu = 15, \sigma = 3, n = 40, s = \frac{3}{\sqrt{40}} = 0.4743

The probability is the <u>p-value of Z when X = 16 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 15</u>, hence:

X = 16:

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

Z = \frac{16 - 15}{0.4743}

Z = 2.11

Z = 2.11 has a p-value of 0.9826.

X = 15:

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

Z = \frac{15 - 15}{0.4743}

Z = 0

Z = 0 has a p-value of 0.5.

0.9826 - 0.5 = 0.4826 = 48.26% probability that the sample mean is between 15 and 16 grams per day.

saw5 [17]

Answer:

<u>Alejandro went to 8 matinee shows and 4 evening shows.</u>

<u>Our system of equations:</u>

<u>x + y = 12</u>

<u>7x + 12y = 104</u>

Correct statement and question:

Alejandro loves to go to the movies. He goes both at night and during the day. The cost of a matinee is 7 dollars. The cost of an evening show is 12 dollars.

Alejandro went to see a total of 12 movies and spent $ 104. How many of each type of movie did he attend? Write a system of equations.

Source:

Previous question that can be found at brainly

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

Let x to represent the number of matinee shows Alejandro went to.

Let y to represent the number of evening shows Alejandro went to.

Now, let's write our system of equations:

x + y = 12

7x + 12y = 104

*********************

x = 12 - y

*********************

7 (12 - y) + 12y = 104

84 - 7y + 12y = 104

5y = 104 - 84

5y = 20

y = 20/5

<u>y = 4 ⇒ x = 12 - 4 = 8</u>

<u>Alejandro went to 8 matinee shows and 4 evening shows.</u>

Im confused, can someone help?

Well, the y-intercept is represented by B. So b would be the dot crossing the y-axis in each graph (which you already circled). Next, the slope for top left is: -1.5, top right is: -1.7, bottom left is: 3, and bottom right is: 1.33. I got those by using this very helpful website named Desmos. Now, I’m order to write the equation for each graph is very simple, all you have to do is put in the slope and y-intercept into the equation. For example, the top left one would be:
y = -1.5x + 4 since we know that the slope is equal to -1.5 and the y-intercept is equal to 4. Hope this helps :)
