a survey amony freshman at a certain university revealed that the number of hours spent studying the week before final exams was

normally distributed with mean 25 and standard deviation 15. a sample of 36 students was selected. what is the probability that the average time spent studying for the sample was between 29.0 and 30 hours studying?

Answer:

Probability that the average time spent studying for the sample was between 29 and 30 hours studying is 0.0321.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the number of hours spent studying the week before final exams was normally distributed with mean 25 and standard deviation 15.

A sample of 36 students was selected.

<em>Let </em>\bar X<em> = sample average time spent studying</em>

The z-score probability distribution for sample mean is given by;

          Z = \frac{ \bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }} }  ~ N(0,1)

where, \mu = population mean hours spent studying = 25 hours

            \sigma = standard deviation = 15 hours

            n = sample of students = 36

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is away from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value (area) 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.

Now, Probability that the average time spent studying for the sample was between 29 and 30 hours studying is given by = P(29 hours < \bar X < 30 hours)

    P(29 hours < \bar X < 30 hours) = P(\bar X < 30 hours) - P(\bar X \leq 29 hours)

      

    P(\bar X < 30 hours) = P( \frac{ \bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }} } < \frac{ 30-25}{\frac{15}{\sqrt{36} } }} } ) = P(Z < 2) = 0.97725

    P(\bar X \leq 29 hours) = P( \frac{ \bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }} } \leq \frac{ 29-25}{\frac{15}{\sqrt{36} } }} } ) = P(Z \leq 1.60) = 0.94520

                                                                    

<em>So, in the z table the P(Z </em>\leq<em> x) or P(Z < x) is given. So, the above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 2 and x = 1.60 in the z table which has an area of 0.97725 and 0.94520 respectively.</em>

Therefore, P(29 hours < \bar X < 30 hours) = 0.97725 - 0.94520 = 0.0321

Hence, the probability that the average time spent studying for the sample was between 29 and 30 hours studying is 0.0321.

Answer:

  1. π = S/2πrh
  2. v = √2E/m
  3. b = (-7a+c)/2
  4. x =3y-1

Step-by-step explanation:

1.

S = 2\pi rh\\Divide\:both\sides\:of\:the\:equation\:by\:2rh\\\\\frac{S}{2rh} = \frac{2 \pi rh}{2 rh} \\\\\pi = \frac{S}{2rh}

2.

E = \frac{1}{2} mv^2\\\\E = \frac{mv^2}{2} \\\\Cross\:multiply\\\\2E =mv^2\\Divide\:both\:sides\:of\:the\:equation\:by\:m\\\frac{2E}{m} = \frac{mv^2}{m} \\\\\frac{2E}{m} =v^2\\Square\:root\:both\:sides\:of\:the\:equation\\\sqrt{\frac{2E}{m} } = \sqrt{v^2} \\\\\sqrt{\frac{2E}{m} } =v\\\\v =\sqrt{\frac{2E}{m} }

3.

7a+2b =c\\Isolate\:b\\\\2b =c-7a\\2b= -7a+c\\Divide\:both\:sides\:of\:the\:equation\:by \:2\\\frac{2b}{2} =\frac{-7a+c}{2} \\\\b = \frac{-7a+c}{2}

4.

y = \frac{1}{3} (x+1)\\\\y = \frac{x+1}{3}\\\\Cross\:multiply \\3y =x+1\\Isolate \:x\\3y -1=x\\\\x =3y-1

If someone could please walk me through on how to answer this.
Elis [28]

To isolate c means to separate it completely on one side of the equals sign.


To isolate variables, you apply opposite operations.


In E = mc², m and c are being multiplied together. To separate them, you divide by the variable you want to get rid of. However, you must do this to both sides of the equation always. Whatever you do to one side of the equation you must do to the other side as well. This is so the equation remains true.


Since we want to isolate c, we'll start by dividing both sides by m.


E = mc²

E/m = mc²/m

E/m = c²  --  The m's cancel as 1


Now we have c squared. The opposite of squaring something is taking its square root. Take the square root of each side.


E/m = c²

√(E/m) = √(c²)

√(E/m) = c  --  Opposite operations cancel each other out


And you've isolated c!


Answer:

c = √(E/m)
