Suppose babies born in a large hospital have a mean weight of 3181 grams, and a standard deviation of 526 grams. If 97 babies ar

e sampled at random from the hospital, what is the probability that the mean weight of the sample babies would differ from the population mean by greater than 53 grams? Round your answer to four decimal places.

Answer:

P(\bar X 3181+53=3234)

P(\bar X < 3128)

And we can use the z score given by:

z = \frac{\bar X- \mu }{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

The z score for 3128 is:

z= \frac{3128-3181}{\frac{526}{\sqrt{97}}}= -0.992

And we can use the normal standard table or excel and we got:

P(Z

For the other probability we have:

P(\bar X < 3234)

And we can use the z score given by:

z = \frac{\bar X- \mu }{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

The z score for 3234 is:

z= \frac{3234-3181}{\frac{526}{\sqrt{97}}}= 0.992

And we can use the complement rule, the normal standard table or excel and we got:

P(Z>0.992)=1-P(Z

And the final probability would be 0.1606+0.1606= 0.3212

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".  

The central limit theorem states that "if we have a population with mean μ and standard deviation σ and take sufficiently large random samples from the population with replacement, then the distribution of the sample means will be approximately normally distributed. This will hold true regardless of whether the source population is normal or skewed, provided the sample size is sufficiently large".

Let X the random variable of interest and we know that:

E(X)= 3181 , Sd(X) = 526

We select a random sample of n=97 nails. That represent the sample size.  

And we want to calculate the probability that the mean weight of the sample babies would differ from the population mean by greater than 53 grams

P(\bar X 3181+53=3234)

From the central limit theorem we know that the distribution for the sample mean \bar X is given by:

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

We can find the individual probabilities and we got:

P(\bar X < 3128)

And we can use the z score given by:

z = \frac{\bar X- \mu }{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

The z score for 3128 is:

z= \frac{3128-3181}{\frac{526}{\sqrt{97}}}= -0.992

And we can use the normal standard table or excel and we got:

P(Z

For the other probability we have:

P(\bar X < 3234)

And we can use the z score given by:

z = \frac{\bar X- \mu }{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

The z score for 3234 is:

z= \frac{3234-3181}{\frac{526}{\sqrt{97}}}= 0.992

And we can use the complement rule, the normal standard table or excel and we got:

P(Z>0.992)=1-P(Z

And the final probability would be 0.1606+0.1606= 0.3212

Answer:

0.3222 = 32.22% probability that the mean weight of the sample babies would differ from the population mean by greater than 53 grams

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 = 3181, \sigma = 526, n = 97, s = \frac{526}{\sqrt{97}} = 53.41

Probability that the mean weight of the sample babies would differ from the population mean by greater than 53 grams?

Two cases, the mean being lesser than 3181 - 53 = 3128 grams or it being greater than 3181 + 53 = 3234.

Lesser than 3128

pvalue of Z when X = 3128.

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

Z = \frac{3128 - 3181}{53.41}

Z = -0.99

Z = -0.99 has a pvalue of 0.1611

Greater than 3234

1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 3234

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

Z = \frac{3234 - 3181}{53.41}

Z = 0.99

Z = 0.99 has a pvalue of 0.8389

1 - 0.8389 = 0.1611

2*0.1611 = 0.3222

0.3222 = 32.22% probability that the mean weight of the sample babies would differ from the population mean by greater than 53 grams

In ∆ABC, point D is the centroid. If (AE) ̅=15, (BF) ̅=27, and (CD) ̅=8, find the following lengths
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

5,18,12 cms are the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is a triangle ABC.  Point D is the centroid.  

E,F and G are midpoints of CB, BA and AC respectively.

AE, BF and CG are medians of the triangle.

We know that centroid divides the median in the ratio 2:1

Using this we find that AD:DE = 2:1

Or AD+DE:DE = (2+1):1

AE:DE =3:1

15:DE = 3:1 . Hence DE =5 cm.

On the similar grounds we find that DF = 1/3 BF = 9

Hence BD = DF-BF = 27-9 =18 cm

and also

CG = 3/2 times CD = 12 cm.

How do you know that a =6 is a solution to a+5=11?
Gre4nikov [31]

a + 5 = 11

You need to isolate the variable by subtracting from both sides

a + 5 - 5 = 11 - 5

a = 6

The Addition/Subtraction Property of Equality states that if you add or subtract the same number to both sides of an equation the two sides still remain equal.

Pls help ASAP. <br>I want to know what b and d are. I'm struggling. ​
Andrew [12]

Answer:

d = 16, b = 73

Step-by-step explanation:

To find b, i knew that the angles were congruent, so they were both the exact same.

To find d, I knew that the 65 degrees and the missing value of d had to add up to 81 degrees, because those are congruent too. So, I just subtracted 65 from 81 and then I got the answer.

I hope I helped.

Brainliest would be appreciated.

Trisha packs x boxes with 12 bottles in each box. The total number of bottles she packs is 216. Which equation and solution repr
LiRa [457]

Answer:

Number of boxes Trisha pack = 18 boxes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of boxes Trisha pack = X

Number of bottles in each box = 12

Total number of bottle = 216

Find:

Number of boxes Trisha pack

Computation:

Total number of bottle = Number of boxes Trisha pack x Number of bottles in each box

216 = X × 12

X = 216 / 12

X = 18

Number of boxes Trisha pack = 18 boxes
