A solar eclipse occurs when the moon gets between Earth and the sun, and the moon casts a shadow over Earth. A solar eclipse can only take place at the phase of new moon, when the moon passes directly between the sun and Earth and its shadows fall upon Earth's surface.

Y is inversely proportional to x.
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that y is inversely proportional to x then the equation relating them is

y = \frac{k}{x} ← k is the constant of proportionality

To find k use the condition that y = 7, x = 9

k = yx = 7 × 9 = 63, thus

y = \frac{63}{x} ← equation of proportion

When x = 21, then

y = \frac{63}{21} = 3

A charity receives 2025 contributions. Contributions are assumed to be mutually independent and identically distributed with mea
uysha [10]

Answer:

The 90th percentile for the distribution of the total contributions is $6,342,525.

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 normally distributed samples are 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.

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.

For sums of size n, the mean is \mu*n and the standard deviation is s = \sqrt{n}*\sigma

In this question:

n = 2025, \mu = 3125*2025 = 6328125, \sigma = \sqrt{2025}*250 = 11250

The 90th percentile for the distribution of the total contributions

This is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.9. So it is X when Z = 1.28. Then

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

1.28 = \frac{X - 6328125}{11250}

X - 6328125 = 1.28*11250

X = 6342525

The 90th percentile for the distribution of the total contributions is $6,342,525.
