There are about 4200 college presidents in the United States, and they have annual incomes with a distribution that is skewed in

stead of being normal. Many different samples of 40 college presidents are randomly selected, and the mean annual income is computed for each sample. What is the approximate shape of the sample means?

<span>Because a mean is an average, the means of each of the samples of 40 college presidents' incomes will have less of a skew than the actual income distribution in dollars of all of them. That is because outliers, like a president who is paid $2 million a year, will be averaged in with many others who are paid less. The shape of the curve of the means will depend upon how many different samples of 40 presidents are included, with the shape becoming more bell-like (normal distribution) the more random samples are included. Another consideration is how often the outliers are included and how big the income skew is that you start with. For example, if 2 college presidents are earning $2 million a year and the other 4,198 are earning $200,000 or less then the shape of your curve will depend greatly upon the number of times those two high earners are randomly selected and factored into the mean.</span>

What is a simple formula to solve a math sequence? Or a couple formulas if possible? Thanks!
-Dominant- [34]
2 normal types of sequences:

1. arythmetic sequences: each term is the same distance to the next term, example, 2,4,6,8, distance is 2

2. geometric sequences: the ratio of consecutive terms is the same, example: 2,4,8,16, ratio is 4:2=2:1, 2/1=2


the nth term is denoted by a_{n}
the first term is represented by a_{1}

for arythmetic sequences, the nth tem is
a_{n}=a_{1}(n-1)d where d=distance between each term

for geometric sequences the nth term is
[tex] a_{n}=a_{1}r^{n-1} where r=ratio betwen consecutive terms

There are mangoes and oranges in a basket in the ratio 7: 11. If the total number of fruits is 720, then how many mangoes are th
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

280 mangoes

Step-by-step explanation:

sum the parts of the ratio, 7 + 11 = 18 parts

Divide the total by 18 to find the value of one part of the ratio.

720 ÷ 18 = 40 ← value of 1 part of the ratio , then

7 × 40 = 280 ← number of mangoes

(5,-3), (5,8). Find slope
anzhelika [568]

Answer: 0 slope, horizontal line.

Step-by-step explanation:

when using y2-y1/x2-x1, you would get 8-(-3)/5-5. This simplifies to 11/0, which means that the line would have 0 slope. A line with 0 slope is a horizontal line.
