The value of x is 5, if a, b, and c are collinear points.

According to the given question.

a, b, and c are collinear points.

Which means points a, b, and c both lie in a same line.

b is between a nd c .

Also, ab = 12

bc = 5x - 2

and ac = 3x + 20

Since, b lies in between a and c

Therefore,

ab + bc = ac

12 + 5x - 2 = 3x + 20

⇒ 10 + 5x = 3x + 20

⇒ 5x - 3x = 20 - 10

⇒ 2x = 10

⇒ x = 10/ 2

⇒ x = 5

Therefore, the value of x is 5.

A small town has 2000 families. The average number of children per family is mu = 2.5, with a standard deviation sigma = 1.7. A
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

Let X the random variable that represent the number of children per fammili of a population, and for this case we know the following info:

Where \mu=2.5 and \sigma=1.7

We select a sample of n =64 >30 and we can apply the central limit theorem. From the central limit theorem we know that the distribution for the sample mean \bar X is given by:

\bar X \sim N(\mu, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})

And for this case the standard error would be:

\sigma_{\bar X} = \frac{1.7}{\sqrt{64}}= 0.2125

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

The central limit theorem states that "if we have a population with mean μ and standard deviation σ and take sufficiently large random samples from the population with replacement, then the distribution of the sample means will be approximately normally distributed. This will hold true regardless of whether the source population is normal or skewed, provided the sample size is sufficiently large".

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the number of children per fammili of a population, and for this case we know the following info:

Where \mu=2.5 and \sigma=1.7

We select a sample of n =64 >30 and we can apply the central limit theorem. From the central limit theorem we know that the distribution for the sample mean \bar X is given by:

\bar X \sim N(\mu, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})

And for this case the standard error would be:

\sigma_{\bar X} = \frac{1.7}{\sqrt{64}}= 0.2125

What is the volume of a cylinder, in cubic centimeters, with a height of 7 centimeters
devlian [24]

Answer:

The volume of a cylinder is 1782\ cm^3.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have,

Height of cylinder, h = 7 cm

Diameter of cylinder, d = 18 cm

Radius, r = 9 cm

It is required to find volume of cylinder. The formula of the volume of cylinder is given by :

V=\pi r^2h\\\\V=\dfrac{22}{7}\times (9)^2\times 7\\\\V=1782\ cm^3

So, the volume of a cylinder is 1782\ cm^3.
