Answer:

96.49% probability that the mean rent is more than $1100

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

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 1300, \sigma = 350, n = 10, s = \frac{350}{\sqrt{10}} = 110.68

What is the probability that the mean rent is more than $1100?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 1100. So

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

Z = \frac{1100 - 1300}{110.68}

Z = -1.81

Z = -1.81 has a pvalue of 0.0351

1 - 0.0351 = 0.9649

96.49% probability that the mean rent is more than $1100

Landon used a semicirce, a rectangle, and a right triangle to form the figure shown.
ankoles [38]
Area of rectangle= base x height
6x4=24

Area of triangle= 0.5 base x height
We have the height but we don’t have the base, to calculate the base we subtract 10-6 which equals to 4
0.5 x 4 x4 =8

Area of a semicircle= o.5 x pi x r^2
We have the diameter and to find the radius we divide it by 2
4/2 = 2
0.5 x pi(or 3.14) x 2^2
=6.28
Total area = 24 + 8+ 6.28 =38.28cm^2

What are the two answers someone help steps needed
velikii [3]

Answer:

p(4)= 8

p(-9)=-5

Step-by-step explanation:

it is stated in the third point that the remainder of the division is zero

then p(x)/(x+4)=1

p(x)=(x+4)

p(4)=(4+4)

p(-9)=(-9+4)
