When you estimate the sum to the nearest you add one number if the decimal is over 5. 29+79+42 = 150

I rounded each number to the nearest whole number and added those.

29 + 79 + 42 = 150

If you add the original numbers you would get 149.5, which rounds to 150.

Ivenika [448]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If we input 11 into the equation, we get: 10 + 5(11) = 65.

5 x 11 = 55

55 + 10 = 65

Therefore x = 11

A population has a mean of 200 and a standard deviation of 50. Suppose a sample of size 100 is selected and x is used to estimat

zmey [24]

Answer:

a) 0.6426 = 64.26% probability that the sample mean will be within +/- 5 of the population mean.

b) 0.9544 = 95.44% probability that the sample mean will be within +/- 10 of the population mean.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

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

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .
