. Exam scores for a large introductory statistics class follow an approximate normal distribution with an average score of 56 an

d a standard deviation of 5. The average exam score in your lab was 59.5. The 20 students in your lab sections will be considered a random sample of all students who take this class. What is the probability that the average score of a random sample of 20 students exceeds 59.5?

Answer:

0.1% probability that the average score of a random sample of 20 students exceeds 59.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, a large sample size can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples can be 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.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 56, \sigma = 5, n = 20, s = \frac{5}{\sqrt{20}} = 1.12

What is the probability that the average score of a random sample of 20 students exceeds 59.5?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 59.5. So

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

Z = \frac{59.5 - 56}{1.12}

Z = 3.1

Z = 3.1 has a pvalue of 0.9990.

So there is a 1-0.9990 = 0.001 = 0.1% probability that the average score of a random sample of 20 students exceeds 59.5.

What is the difference between the compound interest and simple interest on rs 8000 at 15% per annum for 2 years?
Sladkaya [172]
Simple Interest:

I = P x r x t
I = 8000 x 0.15 x 2
I = 2400

Compound Interest:

A = P(e^rt)
where e is the Euclid’s constant
and A is the total amount with interest

A = 8000(e^0.15(2))
A = 10799 (rounded up)
Therefore compound interest is 2799.

The difference:
compound - simple = 2799 - 2400

Answer is rs 399.

Use Cramer's Rule to solve each system.<br> 5x – 3y = 8<br> -2x - y = 10
zlopas [31]

Answer:

-2, -6

Step-by-step explanation:

using cramer rule

5    -3    

-2   -1    

calculatiing the determinant = (5 x-1) - (-3x-2) = -5 -(6) = -5-6=-11

using cramer rule

to calculate x we change the coefficient of x with the answer (8,10)

8   -3

10   -1

we calculate determinant = (8x-1)-(-3x10) = -8-(-30) = -8+30 =22

to calculate x

22/-11= -2

to calculate y we change the coefficient of y with the answer (8,10)

5   8

-2   10

we calculate determinant = (5x10)-(8x-2) = 50 -(-16) = 50 +16=66

to calculate y

66/-11= -6
