Suppose that in one region of the country the mean amount of credit card debt perhousehold in households having credit card debt

is $15,250 with standard deviation $7,125.
The probability that the mean amount of credit card debt in a sample of 1600 such households will be within $300 of the population mean is roughly______.

Answer:

The probability that the mean amount of credit card debt in a sample of 1600 such households will be within $300 of the population mean is roughly 0.907 = 90.7%.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we have 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 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 s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 15250, \sigma = 7125, n = 1600, s = \frac{7125}{\sqrt{1600}} = 178.125

The probability that the mean amount of credit card debt in a sample of 1600 such households will be within $300 of the population mean is roughly

This probability is the pvalue of Z when X = 1600 + 300 = 1900 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 1600 - 300 = 1300. So

X = 1900

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

Z = \frac{1900 - 1600}{178.125}

Z = 1.68

Z = 1.68 has a pvalue of 0.9535.

X = 1300

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

Z = \frac{1300 - 1600}{178.125}

Z = -1.68

Z = -1.68 has a pvalue of 0.0465.

0.9535 - 0.0465 = 0.907.

The probability that the mean amount of credit card debt in a sample of 1600 such households will be within $300 of the population mean is roughly 0.907 = 90.7%.

Anne owns a used car lot and in order to get cars to sell, she buys used cars at an
azamat

Answer:

It would be 2,000x+200

Step-by-step explanation:

okay it costs $200 to attend so that's a cost you are going to have to pay regardless. The $2,000 depends on how many cars you buy. So it would be 2,000 (times how ever many cars you buy) plus the $200.

Y=6x+20 substitution​
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

-10/3 or -3.33

Step-by-step explanation:

substitute 0 for y

0 = 6x + 20  

-20 = 6x + 20 - 20               subtract 20 on both sides  

-20 = 6x                               divide by 6 on each side

-20/6 = 6x/6

x = -20/6                             simplify

x =   -10/3
