Answer:

Probability that the average salary of the 400 players exceeded $1.1 million is 0.99999.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that one year, professional sports players salaries averaged $1.5 million with a standard deviation of $0.9 million.

Suppose a sample of 400 major league players was taken.

<em>Let </em>\bar X<em> = sample average salary</em>

The z-score probability distribution for sample mean is given by;

                 Z = \frac{ \bar X -\mu}{{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }} }  ~ N(0,1)

where, \mu = mean salary = $1.5 million

            \sigma = standard deviation = $0.9 million

             n = sample of players = 400

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is away from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value (area) 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.

So, probability that the average salary of the 400 players exceeded $1.1 million is given by = P(\bar X > $1.1 million)

    P(\bar X > $1.1 million) = P( \frac{ \bar X -\mu}{{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }} } >  \frac{ 1.1-1.5}{{\frac{0.9}{\sqrt{400} } }} } ) = P(Z > -8.89) = P(Z < 8.89)

<em>Now, in the z table the maximum value of which probability area is given is for critical value of x = 4.40 as 0.99999. So, we can assume that the above probability also has an area of 0.99999 or nearly close to 1.</em>

Therefore, probability that the average salary of the 400 players exceeded $1.1 million is 0.99999.

"During their first swim through a water maze, 15 laboratory rats made the following number of errors (went the wrong way): 2, 1
velikii [3]

Answer:

mean = 7.8, median =5, and mode(s) =5

the shape of the distribution is positive skewed

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the mean, median and mode(s) for

2, 17, 5, 3, 28, 7, 5, 8, 5, 6, 2, 12, 10, 4, 3

the mean = sum of (2, 17, 5, 3, 28, 7, 5, 8, 5, 6, 2, 12, 10, 4, 3)/15 =

              =  7.8          

the median = 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 5, 5, 5,  6, 7,  8, 10, 12, 17, 28, = the middle value, the 8th value falls in the middle = 5

the mode is the most occurring value = 5

2. Without constructing a frequency distribution or graph, would you characterize the shape of this distribution as balanced, positively skewed, or negatively skewed?

positive skewed or Right skewed because the value of the mean is greater than the median

A right skewed histogram is a positive skewed histogram (which means the tail is longer the positive direction) that have its tail to the right.For a right skewed histogram the mean has a larger value that the median because the peak of the skewness fall in the median range then the mean follow to the right. and the data drive the mean value to the right which increase in value.

The graph shows the functions f(x), p(x), and g(x):
Sidana [21]
The function f(x) is:

f(x)=x

This is because the line f(x) passes through the points (-1,-1), (0,0), (1,1) etc.

The function p(x) is:

p(x)=mx+C

Whereby (m) is the slope and (C) is a constant.

m=-4/3, as m=tan(ω)=O/A=-4/3 as slope is negative.

Now when y=-3, x=-3.

So:

-3=-4/3 *(-3) +C

-3= 4 + C

C=-7

This means that:

p(x)=-4/3x -7

Now, where p(x)=g(x), x=-6.

p(-6)=-4/3 * (-6) -7

p(-6)=24/3 -7

p(-6)=8-7

p(-6)=1

Therefore:

p(x) and g(x) meet at (-6, 1) and the solution to p(x)=g(x) is x=-6.

What is the appropriate equation used that would solve for x
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

E) 6x - 10 = 4x + 20

Step-by-step explanation:

In this type of picture, the opposite angles are congruent (they equal the same)

So the right equation would be 6x - 10 = 4x + 20, or E
