The College Student Journal (December 1992) investigated differences in traditional and nontraditional students, where nontradit

ional students are defined as 25 years old or older and working. Based on the study results, we can assume the population mean and standard deviation for the GPA of nontraditional students is
μ
= 3.5 and
σ
= 0.5.

Suppose a random sample of 100 nontraditional students is selected and each student's GPA is calculated. What is the probability that the random sample of 100 nontraditional students has a mean GPA greater than 3.42?

Answer:

94.52% probability  that the random sample of 100 nontraditional students has a mean GPA greater than 3.42.

Step-by-step explanation:

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, a large sample size can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using 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.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 3.5, \sigma = 0.5, n = 100, s = \frac{0.5}{\sqrt{100}} = 0.05

What is the probability that the random sample of 100 nontraditional students has a mean GPA greater than 3.42?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 3.42.

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

Z = \frac{3.42 - 3.5}{0.05}

Z = -1.6

Z = -1.6 has a pvalue of 0.0548.

So there is a 1-0.0548 = 0.9452 = 94.52% probability  that the random sample of 100 nontraditional students has a mean GPA greater than 3.42.

PLEASE HELP ME :(<br> God bless.
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

x - 99 ≤ -104 → 2nd line

x - 51 ≤ -43 → 1st line

150 + x ≤ 144 → 4th line

75 < 69 - x → 3rd line

Step-by-step explanation:

Ugh! Wow, this is going to be tedious, thanks alot, bro (jk, I got your back).

x - 99 ≤ -104

 + 99   + 99

x ≤ -5

There should be a line going from -5 to negative infinity (AKA the left) with a FILLED circle. So, the second one is correct.

x - 51 ≤ -43

 + 51   + 51

x ≤ 8

There should be an arrow with a FILLED circle going to negative infinity (AKA the left). So, the first one is correct.

I'm going to take a shortcut and notice that one of the lines has a filled circle while the other one has an empty circle. So the empty circle must relate to the question without a ≤ or ≥, but with a < or >. We see that 75 < 69 doesn't have ≤ or ≥ but a '<.' So this one must have the empty circle, which is on line 3. The last equation has to be on line 4.

A food manufacturer uses an extruder (a machine that makes bite size cookies)that yields revenue for the firm at a rate of $200
julsineya [31]

Answer:

$1300

Step-by-step explanation:

The extruder yields a revenue of $200per hour

Y denotes the number of breakdown per day.

The daily revenue generated is given as

R = 1600 - 50Y^2

We have an average of 2 breakdown per day

Lamda = 2

Represent lamda as β

E(Y) = β

E(Y(Y-1)) = β^2

E(Y^2) = E[Y(Y-1)] + E(Y)

= β^2 + β

E(R) = E(1600 - 50Y^2)

= 1600 - 50E(Y^2)

= 1600 - 50(β^2 +β)

Recall that β = lamda = 2

= 1600 - 50(2^2 + 2)

= 1600 - 50(4+2)

= 1600 - 50(6)

= 1600 - 300

= 1300

$1300

The expected daily revenue of the extruder is $1300
