Data are drawn from a symmetric and bell shaped distribution with a mean of 120 and a standard deviation of 5. There are 900 obs

ervations in the data set. What percentage of observations are less than 130? How many observations are less than 130? This is suppose to be two different questions but they seem the same to me. Please please please help me.

How many requests an actual number, not a percent. To get the number from the percentage, assume you've got p% observations (which is 97.5%). The actual number of observations is p*900/100, that is 9 times the 97.5% or 877.5 observations (I know, odd thing you get a non-integer). I guess I got the wrong percentage (I don't do statistics just yet at school ;) )

Find the oth term of the geometric sequence 9, -18, 36, ...
Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

2304

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given :- </u>

  • A geometric sequence is given to us which is 9 , -18 , 36.

And we need to find out the 9th term of the sequence. Here firstly we should find the Common Ratio and then we can substitute the respective values in the formula to find the nth term of a geometric sequence .

<u>Common Ratio :- </u>

:\implies CR = -18÷ 9 = -2

<u>The </u><u>9</u><u> th term :- </u>

:\implies T_n = arⁿ - ¹

:\implies T_9 = 9× (-2) ⁹ - ¹

:\implies T_9 = 9 × (-2)⁸

:\implies T_9 = 9 × 256

:\implies T_9 = 2304

<u>Hence the 10th term is </u><u>2</u><u>3</u><u>0</u><u>4</u><u>.</u>

The scores on the GMAT entrance exam at an MBA program in the Central Valley of California are normally distributed with a mean
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

58.32% probability that a randomly selected application will report a GMAT score of less than 600

93.51%  probability that a sample of 50 randomly selected applications will report an average GMAT score of less than 600

98.38% probability that a sample of 100 randomly selected applications will report an average GMAT score of less than 600

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 = 591, \sigma = 42

What is the probability that a randomly selected application will report a GMAT score of less than 600?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 600. So

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

Z = \frac{600 - 591}{42}

Z = 0.21

Z = 0.21 has a pvalue of 0.5832

58.32% probability that a randomly selected application will report a GMAT score of less than 600

What is the probability that a sample of 50 randomly selected applications will report an average GMAT score of less than 600?

Now we have n = 50, s = \frac{42}{\sqrt{50}} = 5.94

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 600. So

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

Z = \frac{600 - 591}{5.94}

Z = 1.515

Z = 1.515 has a pvalue of 0.9351

93.51%  probability that a sample of 50 randomly selected applications will report an average GMAT score of less than 600

What is the probability that a sample of 100 randomly selected applications will report an average GMAT score of less than 600?

Now we have n = 50, s = \frac{42}{\sqrt{100}} = 4.2

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

Z = \frac{600 - 591}{4.2}

Z = 2.14

Z = 2.14 has a pvalue of 0.9838

98.38% probability that a sample of 100 randomly selected applications will report an average GMAT score of less than 600

A rectangle or field is 62 m long and 48 m wide Diana estimate the length of the field to be 60 m and the ways to be 45 m what i
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

To make estimates, we usually round the numbers the nearest integer.

Since 1.9 is closest to 2 than it is to 1, the nearest integer of 1.9 is 2.

Similarly, since 4.4 is closest to 4 than it is to 5, the nearest integer of 4.4 is 4.

Now, to estimate the area of the farm, we are going to multiply our two integers:

Estimated Area of the Farm= x

Since 8 is between 4 and 10, we can conclude that the best estimate of the area of the farm is: between 4 and 10
