A) Graham drove 31.75 miles in one hour.

My Work/Reasoning:
To find how much Graham drove in 1 hour, you divide the distance by time. 42 1/3 / 1 1/3
Then you convert the mixed fractions into improper fractions. 127/3 / 4/3
Finally, you solve the equation and learn that Graham drove 31.75 miles in one hour.

b) 4/127 hours

My Work/Reasoning:
In this case, you reverse the equation from (a). 1 1/3 / 42 1/3
Then you convert the mixed fractions into improper factions. 4/3 / 127/3
Finally, you solve the equation and learn that Graham takes 4/127 hours to drive one mile.

Suppose you mark n points on a circle, where n is a whole number greater than 1. The number of segments you can draw that connec

leonid [27]

The expression for the number of segments drawn out of the n number of points in the circle is,
n² / 2 - n / 2
Substituting directly to the expression the number of points, n, which is equal to 8,
8² / 2 - 8 / 2 = 28
Thus, there are 28 segments that can be drawn from the points.

Answer:

a) By the Central Limit Theorem, the distribution would be approximately normal, with mean $\mu = 0.45$ and standard deviation $s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}} = \sqrt{\frac{0.45*0.55}{100}} = 0.0497$

b) 4.02 standard deviations below the mean.

c) Making 25 or less shots has a pvalue of -4.02. Z-scores lower than -2 are considered surprising, so yes, it would be surprising for him to make only 25 of these shots.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we are going to 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 proportions, we have that the mean is $\mu = p$ and the standard deviation is $s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}$

In this problem, we have that:

$p = 0.45, n = 100$

a)By the Central Limit Theorem, the distribution would be approximately normal, with mean $\mu = 0.45$ and standard deviation $s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}} = \sqrt{\frac{0.45*0.55}{100}} = 0.0497$

b)This is Z when X = 0.25.

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

$Z = \frac{0.25 – 0.45}{0.0497}$

$Z = -4.02$

4.02 standard deviations below the mean.

c) Making 25 or less shots has a pvalue of -4.02. Z-scores lower than -2 are considered

surprising, so yes, it would be surprising for him to make only 25 of these shots.
