Which of the following statements about the sampling distribution of the sample mean, x-bar, is not true? A. The sampling distri

Elenna [48]

Answer: E. All of the above statements are true

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean of sampling distribution of the mean is simply the population mean from which scores were being sampled. This implies that when population has a mean μ, it follows that mean of sampling distribution of mean will also be μ.

It should also be noted that the distribution's shape is symmetric and normal and there are no outliers from its overall pattern.

The statements about the sampling distribution of the sample mean, x-bar that are true include:

• The sampling distribution is normal regardless of the shape of the population distribution, as long as the sample size, n, is large enough.

• The sampling distribution is normal regardless of the sample size, as long as the population distribution is normal. • The sampling distribution's mean is the same as the population mean.

• The sampling distribution's standard deviation is smaller than the population standard deviation.

Therefore, option E is the correct answer as all the options are true.

Thaddeus shakes his head as he pays $12.37 to the clerk for lunch. Complaining to a friend, Thaddeus says, “Do you realize that

atroni [7]

a)

his income must be "x" which is the 100%, and we would know that 0.2% of that is 12.37.

$\begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} x&100\\ 12.37&0.2 \end{array}\implies \cfrac{x}{12.37}=\cfrac{100}{0.2}\implies 0.2x=1237 \\\\\\ x=\cfrac{1237}{0.2}\implies x=61.85$

b)

his income must be "x" which is the 100%, and we would know that 2% of that is 12.37.

$\begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} x&100\\ 12.37&2 \end{array}\implies \cfrac{x}{12.37}=\cfrac{100}{2}\implies 2x=1237 \\\\\\ x=\cfrac{1237}{2}\implies x=618.5$

btw he's not making much either way.

Triangle ABC is shown below.

Andrew [12]

Answer:

C.) 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the triangle: angles b and c have the same arch, so they are congruent.

In a triangle, if two angles are congruent, then the triangle is isosceles, having two equal sides.

The sides opposite the congruent angles are congruent:

∠B → opposite side → AC

∠C → opposite side → AB

The sides AB and AC are equal. Make an equation:

$AB=AC\\\\2x=3x-7$

Simplify the equation, solving for x. Add 7 to both sides:

$2x+7=3x-7+7\\\\2x+7=3x$

Subtract 2x from both sides:

$2x-2x+7=3x-2x\\\\7=x$

The value of x is 7. Insert the value of x into the given length of AC:

$AC=3(7)-7$

Simplify multiplication:

$AC=21-7$

Subtract:

$AC=14$

Therefore, the length of the line segment AC is 14.
