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.

WILL GIVE BRAINLY Find the perimeter of the figure below, in meters.
yan [13]

Answer:

147.6\:\mathrm

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a polygon is simply sum of the lengths of all sides of the polygon.

Therefore, we can find this polygon's perimeter by adding up the length of each of its sides:

9.8+9.8+11.7+9.8+21.5+21+11.7+9.8+31.3+11.2=\boxed{147.6\:\mathrm{m}}

Since there is a lot to keep track of, I'd recommend picking any side and moving clockwise/counter-clockwise until you get all sides.

Below are the few reasons:

- There may have been a physical basis and yet the placebo can seem like it worked due to the patients mindset that they will get better. 
<span>- Also, the doctors must not tell the patient that they will be taking a placebo. They must assure the patient that the "pill" will cure their problems.</span>
