What you do is plug the z value (first column) into the formula (second column), and solve for y. For instance, the first one would be y = -1-2, or -3. The x would be the x in the ordered pair, and the final ordered pair would be (-1,-3). Make sense?

Tony sees an outfit that he

REY [17]

Answer:

He need 345 $

Step-by-step explanation:

Data :

Shirt = 50 $

Pant = 75 $

Shoes = 375 $

Now add them

50 + 75 + 375 = 500 $ value 1

He has 155 $ value 2

Subtrate value 2 from value 1

500 - 155 = 345 $

The mean of a population is 74 and the standard deviation is 15. The shape of the population is unknown. Determine the probabili

Lena [83]

Answer:

a) 0.0548 = 5.48% probability of a random sample of size 36 yielding a sample mean of 78 or more.

b) 0.9858 = 98.58% probability of a random sample of size 150 yielding a sample mean of between 71 and 77.

c) 0.5793 = 57.93% probability of a random sample of size 219 yielding a sample mean of less than 74.2

Step-by-step explanation:

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

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score 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 p-value, 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 $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .

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

The mean of a population is 74 and the standard deviation is 15.

This means that $\mu = 74, \sigma = 15$

Question a:

Sample of 36 means that $n = 36, s = \frac{15}{\sqrt{36}} = 2.5$

This probability is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 78. So

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

$Z = \frac{78 - 74}{2.5}$

$Z = 1.6$

$Z = 1.6$ has a pvalue of 0.9452

1 - 0.9452 = 0.0548

0.0548 = 5.48% probability of a random sample of size 36 yielding a sample mean of 78 or more.

Question b:

Sample of 150 means that $n = 150, s = \frac{15}{\sqrt{150}} = 1.2247$

This probability is the pvalue of Z when X = 77 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 71. So

X = 77

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

$Z = \frac{77 - 74}{1.2274}$

$Z = 2.45$

$Z = 2.45$ has a pvalue of 0.9929

X = 71

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

$Z = \frac{71 - 74}{1.2274}$

$Z = -2.45$

$Z = -2.45$ has a pvalue of 0.0071

0.9929 - 0.0071 = 0.9858

0.9858 = 98.58% probability of a random sample of size 150 yielding a sample mean of between 71 and 77.

c. A random sample of size 219 yielding a sample mean of less than 74.2

Sample size of 219 means that $n = 219, s = \frac{15}{\sqrt{219}} = 1.0136$

This probability is the pvalue of Z when X = 74.2. So

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

$Z = \frac{74.2 - 74}{1.0136}$

$Z = 0.2$

$Z = 0.2$ has a pvalue of 0.5793

0.5793 = 57.93% probability of a random sample of size 219 yielding a sample mean of less than 74.2

Please please answer this correctly I have to finish this today as soon as possible

Simora [160]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at where -2 is on the x-axis (the left side of the horizontal line), and go another half a box in, that is -2.5. But then go down one box from there, and plot the point. that is (-2.5,-1).

Next go half a box to the right and two boxes up, and plot your point there. that is (.5,2).

If a=-3/2 b=5/4 and c=7/8 prove that a(b+c) = ab +ac.<br> Thank you in advance

scoundrel [369]

Answer:

You would figure this out by the method of substitution

Step-by-step explanation:

a= -3/2

b= 5/4

c=7/8

a(b+c) = a(b)+a(c)

Substitute

-3/2(5/4 +7/8) = -3/2(5/4)+-3/2(7/8)

-51/16 =-51/16
