The weight of National Football League (NFL) players has increased steadily, gaining up to 1.5 lb. per year since 1942. Accordin

g to ESPN, the average weight of a NFL player is now 252.8 lb. Assume the population standard deviation is 25 lb. If a random sample of 50 players is selected, what is the probability that the sample mean will be more than 262 lb.

Answer:

The probability that the sample mean weight will be more than 262 lb is 0.0047.

Step-by-step explanation:

The random variable <em>X</em> can be defined as the weight of National Football League (NFL) players now.

The mean weight is, <em>μ</em> = 252.8 lb.

The standard deviation of the weights is, <em>σ</em> = 25 lb.

A random sample of <em>n</em> = 50 NFL players are selected.

According to the Central Limit Theorem if we have an unknown population with mean <em>μ</em> and standard deviation <em>σ</em> and appropriately huge random samples (<em>n</em> > 30) are selected from the population with replacement, then the distribution of the sample means will be approximately normally distributed.

Then, the mean of the sample means is given by,

\mu_{\bar x}=\mu

And the standard deviation of the sample means is given by,

\sigma_{\bar x}=\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

The sample of players selected is quite large, i.e. <em>n</em> = 50 > 30, so the central limit theorem can be used to approximate the distribution of sample means.

\bar X\sim N(\mu_{\bar x}=252.8,\ \sigma_{\bar x}=3.536)

Compute the probability that the sample mean weight will be more than 262 lb as follows:

P(\bar X>262)=P(\frac{\bar X-\mu_{\bar x}}{\sigma_{\bar x}}>\frac{262-252.8}{3.536})\\\\=P(Z>2.60)\\\\=1-P(Z

*Use a <em>z</em>-table for the probability.

Thus, the probability that the sample mean weight will be more than 262 lb is 0.0047.

What is the range of the function f(x)=7-3x when the domain is {-4, -2, 0, 2}?
klemol [59]

Answer:

{19,13,7,1}

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the domain is the input we have to plug in each of those numbers to get the range ( or the output.) When we plug in -4 we get 19. When we plug in -2 we get 13, when we plug in 0 we get 7 and when we plug in 2 we get 1. (:

Gauge pressure in the tank = 24045.29 Pa

Absolute pressure= 125370.29Pa

Step-by-step explanation:

Full question:sp.gr=0.8.The fluid in the nanometer is ethyl iodide with sp.gr =1.93. The manometric fluid height is 50 inches. What is the gauge pressure and absolute pressure in the tank?

Converting 50inches to metres. Multiply by 0.0254

50×0.0254=1.27m

Gauge pressure in tank is given by:

P = pgh

Where p= density,g= acceleration due to gravity, h= height

P= 1.93× 1000× 9.81× 1.27= 24045.29Pa

Absolute pressure=Ptotal= Pliquid + Patm

Absolute pressure =24045.29 + 101325=125370.29pa

Which of the following are solutions to the quadratic equation? Check all that
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

\boxed{\sf \ \ \ x=-9 \ \ or \ \ x=2 \ \ \ }

Step-by-step explanation:

hello,

2x^2+7x-14=x^2+4\\ 2x^2+7x-14-x^2-4=0\\ x^2+7x-18=0\\x^2-2x+9x-18=0\\ x(x-2)+9(x-2)=0\\ (x+9)(x-2)=0\\ x+9 = 0 \  \text{or} \ x-2=0\\ x = -9 \  \text{or} \ x=2

hope this helps
