Answer:

\bar X = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_i}{n}

And if we find the expected value for this statistic we got:

E(\bar X) = E(\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_i}{n})= \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n E(X_i)}{n}

And assuming that each observation have the same expected value \mu we got:

E(\bar X) = \frac{n \mu}{n}=\mu

So then the expected value for the sample mean would be:

b.75

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the information about the population:

\mu = 75 represent the mean

\sigma = 8 represent the deviation

We select a sample size of n = 800, a very large sample indeed. We know that the sample mean is given by:

\bar X = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_i}{n}

And if we find the expected value for this statistic we got:

E(\bar X) = E(\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_i}{n})= \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n E(X_i)}{n}

And assuming that each observation have the same expected value \mu we got:

E(\bar X) = \frac{n \mu}{n}=\mu

So then the expected value for the sample mean would be:

b.75

Answer:

b.75

Step-by-step explanation:

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}}.

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

In this problem:

Mean of the population is 75.

By the Central Limit Theorem,

The mean of the sample, \bar{x}, is expected to be also 75.

So the correct answer is:

b.75

The fish tank has side lengths 20in, 10in and height 15in. The water level is two inches below the top of the tank. A glass sphe
Kitty [74]

Answer:

Part 1) The new distance from the water to the top of the tank is 1.979\ in

Part 2) The maximum number of balls that can be put into the tank with the tank not overflowing is 95

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the total volume of the tank

V=20*10*15=3,000\ in^{3}

step 2

Find the volume of the tank if the water level is two inches below the top of the tank

V=20*10*(15-2)=2,600\ in^{3}

step 3

Find the volume of the glass sphere

The volume of the glass sphere is equal to

V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}

we have

r=1\ in

assume

\pi=3.14

substitute

V=\frac{4}{3}(3.14)(1)^{3}

V=4.2\ in^{3}

step 4

What is the new distance from the water to the top of the tank?

we know that

2 in -----> represent (3,000-2,600)=400\ in^{3}

so

using proportion

Find how many inches correspond a volume of 4.2\ in^{3}

\frac{2}{400}\frac{in}{in^{3}}=\frac{x}{4.2}\frac{in}{in^{3}}\\ \\x=4.2*2/400\\ \\x=0.021\ in

The new distance from the water to the top of the tank is

2-0.021=1.979\ in

step 5

Find how many of these balls can be put into the tank with the tank not overflowing

we know that

The volume of one ball is equal to  4.2\ in^{3}

using proportion

\frac{1}{4.2}=\frac{x}{400}\\ \\x=400/4.2\\ \\x=95.23\ balls

therefore

The maximum number of balls that can be put into the tank with the tank not overflowing is 95

SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

Answer are in bold below

Step-by-step explanation:

Question: 1

Jessica = $8

Ciara = $12 + 4 $16

Now we times both values.

16 x 8 = $128

8 x 16 = $128

They would both need to work 8 hours ft=or the same money.

Question 2:

$8 x 5 = $40

$16 x 5 =$80

Jessica will be less expensive.
