Answer:

0.2236 = 22.36% probability that the sample mean would be greater than 70.5 kilograms.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Also, important to remember that the standard deviation is the square root of the variance.

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 random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the sample means with size n of at least 30 can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 69, \sigma = \sqrt{121} = 11, n = 31, s = \frac{11}{\sqrt{31}} = 1.97565

What is the probability that the sample mean would be greater than 70.5 kilograms?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 70.5. So

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

By the Central limit theorem

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

Z = \frac{70.5 - 69}{1.97565}

Z = 0.76

Z = 0.76 has a pvalue of 0.7764

1 - 0.7764 = 0.2236

0.2236 = 22.36% probability that the sample mean would be greater than 70.5 kilograms.

Answer:

K 48 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

First lets determine how big of table cloth we need

The table is 3 ft in diameter which is 36 inches

That means the radius is d/2 = 36/2 = 18 inches

We need to add 5 inches to the radius to hang over the edge

18+5 = 23

We need to add the hem which is 1 inch

23+1 = 24

The radius is 24 inches

The diameter would be 2r = 2*24 = 48 inches

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(f O g) this basically means that the input x first goes trough the function g and then f. Like f(g(x)).

So when x went trough g, you got the output g(x) and then this went trough f and you got f(g(x)) = -8 = 'f(x)'.

With this in mind you can retrace your steps by first looking at what input can get -8 as an output, for f this is -4. this means g(x) = -4

Then you look at what input (this is the x you're looking for) gets you the ouput -4. Looking at the second image you'll picture see that it's the input 3.
