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.

It has been proven that of all line segments drawn from a given point not on it, the perpendicular line segment is the shortest.

<h3>How to prove a Line Segment?</h3>

We know that in a triangle if one angle is 90 degrees, then the other angles have to be acute.

Let us take a line l and from point P as shown in the attached file, that is, not on line l, draw two line segments PN and PM. Let PN be perpendicular to line l and PM is drawn at some other angle.

In ΔPNM, ∠N = 90°

∠P + ∠N + ∠M = 180° (Angle sum property of a triangle)

∠P + ∠M = 90°

Clearly, ∠M is an acute angle.

Thus; ∠M < ∠N

PN < PM (The side opposite to the smaller angle is smaller)

Similarly, by drawing different line segments from P to l, it can be proved that PN is smaller in comparison to all of them. Therefore, it can be observed that of all line segments drawn from a given point not on it, the perpendicular line segment is the shortest.

Suppose GDP is $12 trillion, taxes are $3.6 trillion, private saving is $1.5 trillion, and public saving is $0.8 trillion. Assum
Marianna [84]

Assuming this economy is closed: Consumption $6.9 trillion; Government Purchases $11.2 trillion; National Saving $2.3 trillion; Investment $2.3 trillion.

<h3>Gross domestic product</h3>

a. Consumption

Private S = ( Y – T – C )

C = Y - T - Private S

C = $12 - $3.6 - $1.5 =$6.9 trillion

b. Government purchases

Public S = ( T - G )          

G = T - Public S                                                        

G = $12 - $0.8

G = $11.2 trillion

c and d. National saving and investment

National savings = Public S + Private S

National savings = $0.8 + $1.5

National savings =$2.3 trillion

Investment=Savings=$2.3 trillion

Therefore, Consumption $6.9 trillion; Government Purchases $11.2 trillion; National Saving $2.3 trillion; Investment $2.3 trillion.
