The value of x is 1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

In a probability distribution, probability should be between 0  and 1. The probabilities add up to one.

Given probabilities are:

\frac{1}{10}, \frac{1}{5}, \frac{1}{2}, x

The sum of these probabilities will be equal to 1.

So,

To find x,

\frac{1}{10}+\frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{2}+x = 1\\\frac{1+2+5}{10}+x=1\\\frac{8}{10}+x=1\\x= 1- \frac{8}{10}\\x = 1- \frac{4}{5}\\x= \frac{5-4}{5}\\x=\frac{1}{5}

The value of x is 1/5

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

The significance level is \alpha=0.01 and since we are conducting a right tailed test we need to find a critical value who accumulate 0.01 of the area in the right of the normal standard distribution and we got:

z_{\alpha/2}= 2.326

So we reject the null hypothesis is z>2.326

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we define the random variable X as the number of entry-level swimmers and we are interested about the true population mean for this variable . On specific we want to test this:

Null hypothesis: \mu \leq 15

Alternative hypothesis: \mu > 15

And the statistic is given by:

z =\frac{\bar X -\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

The significance level is \alpha=0.01 and since we are conducting a right tailed test we need to find a critical value who accumulate 0.01 of the area in the right of the normal standard distribution and we got:

z_{\alpha/2}= 2.326

So we reject the null hypothesis is z>2.326
