Answer:

0.0228 = 2.28% probability that the average score of the 64 golfers exceeded 76.

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.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 75, \sigma = 4, n = 64, s = \frac{4}{\sqrt{64}} = 0.5

Find the probability that the average score of the 64 golfers exceeded 76.

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 64.

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

Z = \frac{76 - 75}{0.5}

Z = 2

Z = 2 has a pvalue of 0.9772

1 - 0.9772 = 0.0228

0.0228 = 2.28% probability that the average score of the 64 golfers exceeded 76.

If a drink costs 2.32, how many drinks can you buy with 13 dollars?
Llana [10]

Answer:

5 drinks

Step-by-step explanation:

If the drinks cost $2.32 and you have $13 you can divide 13 by 2.32

13/2.32+ 5.6034...

You cannot buy a partal drink so you look at only the whole number which is 5.

Find the number b such that the line y = b divides the region bounded by the curves y = 36x2 and y = 25 into two regions with eq
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

b = 15.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets find the interception points of the curves

36 x² = 25

x² = 25/36 = 0.69444

|x| = √(25/36) = 5/6

thus the interception points are 5/6 and -5/6. By evaluating in 0, we can conclude that the curve y=25 is above the other curve and b should be between 0 and 25 (note that 0 is the smallest value of 36 x²).

The area of the bounded region is given by the integral

\int\limits^{5/6}_{-5/6} {(25-36 \, x^2)} \, dx = (25x - 12 \, x^3)\, |_{x=-5/6}^{x=5/6} = 25*5/6 - 12*(5/6)^3 - (25*(-5/6) - 12*(-5/6)^3) = 250/9

The whole region has an area of 250/9. We need b such as the area of the region below the curve y =b and above y=36x^2 is 125/9. The region would be bounded by the points z and -z, for certain z (this is for the symmetry). Also for the symmetry, this region can be splitted into 2 regions with equal area: between -z and 0, and between 0 and z. The area between 0 and z should be 125/18. Note that 36 z² = b, then z = √b/6.

125/18 = \int\limits^{\sqrt{b}/6}_0 {(b - 36 \, x^2)} \, dx = (bx - 12 \, x^3)\, |_{x = 0}^{x=\sqrt{b}/6} = b^{1.5}/6 - b^{1.5}/18 = b^{1.5}/9

125/18 = b^{1.5}/9

b = (62.5²)^{1/3} = 15.75

What is the porosity of the gravel sample?(The sediment volume for each sample is 400ml. ) a. 23. 75% b. 28. 75% c. 55. 75% d. 8
Anna [14]

The porosity of the gravel sample is 28.75%

We have to determine.

What is the porosity of the gravel sample?

<h3>The porosity of the gravel sample;</h3>

Porosity is the term which is defined as the volume of voids present in the soil to the total volume of the soil.

The formula used to calculate the Porosity is;

\rm Porosity =\dfrac{Volume \ of \ voids \ present \ in soil}{Volume \ of \ soil}

A sponge is a case of a permeable fabric because it incorporates a huge number of purge spaces compared to its volume.

Porosity is the property of a question that communicates the entire volume of purge or pore space within the material.

Hence, the porosity of the gravel sample is 28.75%

Angelina_Jolie [31]

p\%=\dfrac{p}{100}\\\\37.5\%=\dfrac{37.5}{100}=\dfrac{37.5\cdot10}{100\cdot10}=\dfrac{375}{1000}\\\\\dfrac{375}{1000}=\dfrac{375:125}{1000:125}=\dfrac{3}{8}\\\\\dfrac{375}{1000}=0.375\\\\Answer:\ \boxed{37.5\%=\dfrac{3}{8}=0.375}
