Answer:

8<x<7

Step-by-step explanation:

12<2x−4<10

12+4<2x−4+4<10+4(Add 4 to all parts)

Answer:

-4 < x < 7

Step-by-step explanation:

-12 < 2x - 4 <10 (add 4 across the inequality)

-12 + 4 < 2x <10 + 4

-8 < 2x < 14 (divide ineqality by 2)

-8/2 < x < 14/2

-4 < x < 7

"the distribution of means is the correct comparison distribution when"

The distribution of means is the correct comparison distribution when

Answer: The distribution of means is the correct comparison distribution when there is more than one person in a sample.

The distribution of the sample means is also called the sampling distribution of mean. It is most appropriate when we take a random sample of size n from the population of size N. The distribution of the sample means will follow normal distribution with mean = $\mu$ and standard deviation = $\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

The weight of an adult swan is normally distributed with a mean of 26 pounds and a standard deviation of 7.2 pounds. A farmer ra

Snezhnost [94]

Let $X$ denote the random variable for the weight of a swan. Then each swan in the sample of 36 selected by the farmer can be assigned a weight denoted by $X_1,\ldots,X_{36}$ , each independently and identically distributed with distribution $X_i\sim\mathcal N(26,7.2)$ .

You want to find

$\mathbb P(X_1+\cdots+X_{36}>1000)=\mathbb P\left(\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^{36}X_i>1000\right)$

Note that the left side is 36 times the average of the weights of the swans in the sample, i.e. the probability above is equivalent to

$\mathbb P\left(36\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^{36}\frac{X_i}{36}>1000\right)=\mathbb P\left(\overline X>\dfrac{1000}{36}\right)$

Recall that if $X\sim\mathcal N(\mu,\sigma)$ , then the sampling distribution $\overline X=\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^n\frac{X_i}n\sim\mathcal N\left(\mu,\dfrac\sigma{\sqrt n}\right)$ with $n$ being the size of the sample.

Transforming to the standard normal distribution, you have

$Z=\dfrac{\overline X-\mu_{\overline X}}{\sigma_{\overline X}}=\sqrt n\dfrac{\overline X-\mu}{\sigma}$

so that in this case,

$Z=6\dfrac{\overline X-26}{7.2}$

and the probability is equivalent to

$\mathbb P\left(\overline X>\dfrac{1000}{36}\right)=\mathbb P\left(6\dfrac{\overline X-26}{7.2}>6\dfrac{\frac{1000}{36}-26}{7.2}\right)$
$=\mathbb P(Z>1.481)\approx0.0693$
