. 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.

trapecia [35]

Answer:

h = 12x^5y^3

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a parallelogram is found using A = b*h. Substitute the values given and solve for h.

A = b*h

36x^6 y^5 = 3xy^2 * h

36x^6 y^5 ÷ 3xy^2 = h

12x^5y^3 = h

Hey! If 27 cars make up 60%, divide that by 6 to get 10% of the answer which is 4.5. Multiply 4.5 by 10 to get 100% which is 45 cars for 100%.
