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:

Equations are

20c + 10m = 495..............(1)

8c + 1m = 178.5.................(2)

Now ,  equation (2) * 10 = 80c + 10m = 1785...........(3)

So, Eq. (3) -  Eq(1) =

80c + 10m - 20c - 10m = 1785 - 495

60c = 1290

c= 21.5

********************************************************

Now place the value of c in Eq (2)

So , m =6.5

1) <u>Voluntary deductions</u> are amounts that you elect to come out of your paycheck every pay period. Federal tax is not voluntary; neither is state tax, nor Social Security. The only voluntary deduction in this list is health insurance. You are not obligated to pay for your health insurance by automatically withholding it from your check.

 2) <u>FICA</u> is the tax that goes towards Social Security and Medicare. It is involuntary, and it is deducted as a percentage of your gross (pre-withholding) pay.

 3) <u>A fixed expense</u> would be one that is the same from month to month. The only one of these expenses that would be the same amount monthly is a mortgage.</span></span>
