Answer:

The interval containing the middle-most 48% of sample means is between 218.59 to 221.41.

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 distributied random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 220, \sigma = 13, n = 35, s = \frac{13}{\sqrt{35}} = 2.1974

Find the interval containing the middle-most 48% of sample means:

50 - 48/2 = 26th percentile to 50 + 48/2 = 74th percentile. So

74th percentile

value of X when Z has a pvalue of 0.74. So X when Z = 0.643.

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

0.643 = \frac{X - 220}{2.1974}

X - 220 = 0.643*2.1974

X = 221.41

26th percentile

Value of X when Z has a pvalue of 0.26. So X when Z = -0.643

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

-0.643 = \frac{X - 220}{2.1974}

X - 220 = -0.643*2.1974

X = 218.59

The interval containing the middle-most 48% of sample means is between 218.59 to 221.41.

using the standard form ax^2+bx+c=0 of the given quadratic equation, factor the left hand side of the equation into two linear f
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Since you didn't give an actual quadratic equation and just the standard form equation, I will reduce ax^2+bx+c=0:

(ax+p)(x+q) where p+q=b and pq=c

Describe the likelihood of an event as impossible, unlikely, equally likely, likely or certain. 21) There is a 0% chance of pick
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

21) There is a 0% chance of picking a 13 in a deck of cards. <u>Impossible.</u>

If there is a 0% chance that something will happen then it is impossible.

22) There is a 50% chance of picking a red card in a deck of cards.<u> Equally likely.</u>

If there is a 50% chance that something will happen, it is equally likely that it will happen.

23) There is an 80% chance of snow tomorrow. <u>Likely or certain.</u>

If there is an 80% chance of something happening, it means that the chances of that thing happening good and the event is likely to occur.

24) There is a 20% chance of rain tomorrow. <u>Unlikely.</u>

A low chance of 20% means that something is unlikely to occur.

three friends jogged last month. Richard jogged 9 miles last month. Jena jogged 2 times as many miles as Richard. Brian jogged 4
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

Jena=18 miles Brian=36 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

well if you add what Richard got and double it (9+9=18 or 9x2=18) you get how much Jena ran. then if u add (9+9+9+9=36 or 9x4=36) you get Brians miles he ran
