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%.

Explanation:

1) sin(37º)=x/10.3————>trigonometric ratio (sine)

2)7²+10²=c²—————-> pythagorean theorem

3) using sine—————> sin(51º)=9/x

using tangent —————> tan(51º)=9/x and x = 7.3 (rounded)

4)using pythagorean theorem————> 6²+7²=c²

angle b is tanx=6/7 where x = 40.6 degrees, angle a is tanx=7/6 where x = 49.4

Answers:

1)x= 6.2

2)x= 12.2

3)x= 11.6 (rounded)

4)x= 9.2

Answer:

41

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the correct order of operations and do one step at a time to avoid making mistakes.

16 \div 4 + 2^3 \times 5 - 3 =

= 4 + 8 \times 5 - 3

= 4 + 40 - 3

= 44 - 3

= 41
