The probability of a random sample of 40 households having a sample means a number of at least 2.55 televisions per household is 0.48173.

Given: Mean(μ) = 2.24, Standard deviation(σ) = 1.38, Sample size(n) = 1.28 and a random variable for X = 2.55

What is a probability distribution?

A probability distribution is a kind of function for a discrete variable X, whose distribution over a certain interval is discrete or it shows the density of a random variable X that occurs over a given interval in the given distribution.

What is the z-score?

The z-score or the z-value shows the number of standard deviations unit away lies the given random variable from the mean.

Or it shows how dense is the value for a random variable near or away from the mean.

The formula to calculate the z-score from the mean. The standard deviation is:

z = (X - μ) / ( σ / √(n)) where,

z = z-score,

X = random variable,

μ = mean,

σ = standard deviation, and

n = sample size

Let's solve the given question:

We have,

Mean(μ) = 2.24,

Standard deviation(σ) = 1.38,

Sample size(n) = 1.28, and

a random variable for X = 2.55

As it is given sample means at least 2.55 so we have to find the Z(x ≥ 2.55).

Therefore, Z(x ≥ 2.55) = (2.55 - μ) / ( σ / √(n))

Substituting all values we get:

Z(x ≥ 2.55) = (2.55 - 2.24) / ( 1.38 / √(40))

Z(x ≥ 2.55) = 0.01 / 0.21819

Z(x ≥ 2.55) = 0.48173

Hence the probability of a random sample of 40 households having a sample means a number of at least 2.55 televisions per household is 0.48173.

Ted and Robin each gave a basket of green apples to their friend Lily. Ted’s basket contains 5 apples, each weighing ounces. Rob
Blababa [14]

<u>Question</u>:

Ted and Robin each gave a basket of green apples to their friend Lily. Ted’s basket contains 5 apples, each weighing 7 1/4 ounces. Robin’s basket contains 6 apples, each weighing 6 1/2 ounces. Whose basket is heavier and by how much?

<u>Answer</u>:

Robin’s basket is heavier than Ted’s basket  by  2.75 ounces

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

<u>Given</u>:

Ted’s basket contains  = 5 apples

Weight of each apple in Ted’s basket = 7 1/4 ounces

Robin’s basket contains  = 6 apples

Weight of each apple in Robin’s basket =  6 1/2 ounces

<u>To Find:</u>

Whose basket is heavier and by how much?

<u>Solution:</u>

<u>Step 1: Finding the weight of Ted’s basket </u>

Weight of Ted’s basket  = Number of apple in the basket X  Weight of each apple

Weight of Ted’s basket  = 5 \times 7\frac{1}{4}

Weight of Ted’s basket  = 5 \times \frac{29}{4}

Weight of Ted’s basket  = \frac{145}{4}

Weight of Ted’s basket  =  36.25 --------------------------------(1)

<u>Step 2: Finding the weight of Robin’s basket </u>

Weight of Robin’s basket  = Number of apple in the basket X  Weight of each apple

Weight of Robin’s basket  = 6 \times 6\frac{1}{2}

Weight of Robin’s basket  = 6 \times \frac{13}{2}

Weight of Robin’s basket  = \frac{78}{2}

Weight of Robin’s basket  = 39 ounces--------------------------(2)

<u>Comparing equation (1) and (2)</u>

39 - 36.25 = 2.75 ounces

Weight of Robin’s basket  >  Weight of Ted’s basket

If a,b,c are in arithmetic sequence then a = ...​
andriy [413]

Answer:

If a, b and c are in arithmetic progression, that means that a + c = 2b. So a + b, a + c and b + c are also in arithmetic progression.

This might help.
