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

mars1129 [50]

Answer:

3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

7/28 have blue eyes

So 28-7=21

21/28 don't have blue eyes

21/28 simplified=3/4

Answer:

A and C

Step-by-step explanation:

Two angles are Adjacent when they have a common side and a common vertex (corner point) and don't overlap.

So <7 and <9 are adjacent to <8.
