Suppose babies born in a large hospital have a mean weight of 3215 grams, and a variance of 84,681. if 67 babies are sampled at

random from the hospital, what is the probability that the mean weight of the sample babies would differ from the population mean by less than 52 grams? round your answer to four decimal places.

The z-score is given by:
z=(x-μ)/σ
but
x-μ=52
thus
z=52/√84681
z=0.1787
Thus:
P(X≤52)=0.9633

The <u>correct answer</u> is:

0.8558.

Explanation:

The weights could be higher or lower than the mean by 52 grams.  

Our formula for a z-score is:
z=\frac{X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

We have the variance instead of the standard deviation.  Variance is the square of the standard deviation; to find the standard deviation, we take the square root:
√84681 = 291 = σ

We already have X-μ; this is 52 or -52.  This gives us two z-scores:
z=\frac{-52}{\frac{291}{\sqrt{67}}}\text{ or } z=\frac{52}{\frac{291}{\sqrt{67}}}&#10;\\&#10;\\z=-1.46\text{ or }z=1.46

Using a z-table, the area under the curve to the left of (less than) -1.46 is 0.0721. 
The area under the curve to the left of (less than) 1.46 is 0.9279.

We want the area between these two scores, since the difference between the weight and the mean could be less than or equal to 52; this means we subtract these probabilities:
0.9279-0.0721 = 0.8558.

Side a of the triangle is a utility pole. Henry would like to know how long the guy wire, c, should be.
jasenka [17]

We know that the pole is perpendicular to the ground

And that the length of the pole is 20 feet tall, and the base is 15 feet

Now, the guy wire is a wire that provides support to the pole by connecting the top of the pole to the ground

So this represents a right angled triangle (refer image), and the hypotenuse is the length of the guy wire

Using Pythagoras theorem, we can find out the length of the hypotenuse

⇒ Hypotenuse² = Perpendicular² + Base²

⇒ Hypotenuse² = 20² + 15²

⇒ Hypotenuse² = 400+225

⇒ Hypotenuse² = 625

⇒ Hypotenuse = √625

⇒ Hypotenuse = 25

Hence, the correct option is B  25 ft.

Malorie took out a loan to build a deck.The loan was for $15000 and had a 7.5% simple interest rate. If she paid a total of $1,6
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

  • The final value (FV)  that is paid in a loan (which is the sum of the capital and the interests) equals the present value (PV) of the loan  multiplied by (1+i\times{n}), in a simple interest context, where "n" equals the periods of time and "i" equals the interest rate valid for that periodicity.
  • Then FV=PV\times(1+i\times{n}). In this case, PV=$15,000; final value equals FV=$15,000+1,687.5= $16,687.5.
  • We should clear "n" from our equation, which means: 16,687.5=15,000\times(1+n\times0.075). Dividing both sides by 15,000, then subtracting 1 both sides, and finally dividing by 0.075 both sides, results in n=1.5.
  • Then, Malorie had the loan for one an a half periods.
