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

The radius r and height h of a right circular cone are both increasing at a constant rate of 2 cm/h. At what rate in centimeters
Elden [556K]

Answer:

94.2

Step-by-step explanation:

i honestly dont know if this answer is right but i am currently takeing classes in math about Geometry. We was learning about Word problems, that had to do with volume, Area, and perimeter, and learned what radius is, etc..

  • So i thought you take the formula it gives you and use. Since Pie means 3.14 you use that in the formula. V= 1×3.14×2×15 = 94.2
  • you would multiply everything together because every number is close together.
  • the height is 15 cm, thats how you get 15 at the end.
  • next step is to solve the equation in your calculator. and it gives you that number. = 94.2

Multiply the polynomials.
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: letter A

Step-by-step explanation:

      (x + 3) (3x² + 8x + 9) = 3x³  + 8x² + 9x + 9x² + 24x + 27

                                       = 3x³ + 17x² + 33x + 27              Simplify like terms      

Α. 3x3 + 17x2 + 33x + 27

Β. 3x3 + 17x2 – 15x + 27

C. 3x2 + x2 + 33x+ 27

D. 3x3 + 17x2 + 33x - 27

Sammy made her uncle a garden. The width is 6 5 7 ft and the length is 7 3 5 ft. What is the area of the garden?
Advocard [28]

Answer:

482895ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Width= 657ft

Length= 735ft

We know that area A

A= Length* Width

A=657*735

A= 482895ft^2

Hence the area is 482895ft^2
