Answer:  c) -0.3

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Consider the left point as (x₁, y₁) and the right point as (x₂, y₂)

then       (x₁, y₁) = (-6, -1)    &     (x₂, y₂) = (5, 1)

x₂ - x₁ = 5 - (-6) = 11

y₂ - y₁ = 1 - (-1)   = 2

ratio of a:b = a/(a+b)    

          1 : 2  = 1/(1 + 2)  = 1/3

x-coordinate: x₁ + ratio(x₂ - x₁) = -6 + (1/3) (11) = -7/3  

y-coordinate: y₁ + ratio(y₂ - y₁) = -1 + (1/3) (2) = -1/3

A large school district in southern California asked all of its eighth-graders to measure the length of their right foot at the
Ber [7]

Answer:

The probability of the sample mean foot length less than 23 cm is 0.120

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain the information in the problem

- The eighth-graders asked to measure the length of their right foot at

  the beginning of the school year, as part of a science project

- The foot length is approximately Normally distributed, with a mean of

 23.4 cm

∴ μ = 23.4 cm

- The standard deviation of 1.7

∴ σ = 1.7 cm

- 25 eighth-graders from this population are randomly selected

∴ n  = 25

- To find the probability of the sample mean foot length less than 23

∴ The sample mean x = 23, find the standard deviation σx

- The rule to find σx is σx = σ/√n

∵ σ = 1.7 and n = 25

∴ σx = 1.7/√25 = 1.7/5 = 0.34

- Now lets find the z-score using the rule z-score = (x - μ)/σx

∵ x = 23 , μ = 23.4 , σx = 0.34

∴ z-score = (23 - 23.4)/0.34 = -1.17647 ≅ -1.18

- Use the table of the normal distribution to find P(x < 23)

- We will search in the raw of -1.1 and look to the column of 0.08

∴ P(X < 23) = 0.119 ≅ 0.120

* The probability of the sample mean foot length less than 23 cm is 0.120
