Answer: She misses 56 times at a soccer practice.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the goals she misses be 'x'.

According to the question:

$5:8::35:x$

These two ratios follow direct relationship, so:

$\frac{5}{8}=\frac{35}{x}\\\\5x=35\times 8\\\\x=\frac{280}{5}\\\\x=56$

Hence, Vonna misses 56 times at a soccer practice.

White raven [17]

Here let the quadratic equation be ax^2 + bx + c We know that a=5 from the question. Since the roots are 6 and 2, the quadratic equation would take the form of a product like (a1x-b1)(a2x-b2). However, let's assume that a2=1 and b2=6, Since a=5, a1=5, then 5x-b1=5(x-2). Solving this shows that b1=10 So, the equation is (5x-10)(x-6)

A simple random sample of 100 observations was taken from a large population. The sample mean and the standard deviation were de

olga2289 [7]

Answer:

Se=1.2

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard error is the standard deviation of a sample population. "It measures the accuracy with which a sample represents a population".

The central limit theorem (CLT) states "that the distribution of sample means approximates a normal distribution, as the sample size becomes larger, assuming that all samples are identical in size, and regardless of the population distribution shape"

The sample mean is defined as:

$\bar X =\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n x_i}{n}$

And the distribution for the sample mean is given by:

$\bar X \sim N(\mu,\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})$

Let X denotes the random variable that measures the particular characteristic of interest. Let, X1, X2, …, Xn be the values of the random variable for the n units of the sample.

As the sample size is large,(>30) it can be assumed that the distribution is normal. The standard error of the sample mean X bar is given by:

$Se=\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

If we replace the values given we have:

$Se=\frac{12}{\sqrt{100}}=1.2$

So then the distribution for the sample mean $\bar X$ is:

$\bar X \sim N(\mu=80,Se=1.2)$
