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>

Mohamed decided to track the number of leaves on the tree in his back yard each year. This year there were 500 leaves. Each year
makkiz [27]

Answer:

Geometric sequence

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows:

Leaves on tree this year (a) = 500

Rate of increase in leaves per year (r) = 40 % or 0.4

Let n be the number of years.

So we use exponential growth formula, i.e.

f(n) = a(1+r)^n

by putting the value, we get

f(n) = 500 ( 1+0.4)^n

or f(n) = 500 (1.4)^n

So, the common ration is 1.4.

Thus, it shows a geometric sequence.

Answer:

\large{\textbf{f(g(x)) = 20}\\}

Step-by-step explanation:

\large{\textup{Given}:\\$f(x) = 5x $ \hspace{5mm} \& \hspace{5mm} $g(x) = 4x $\\$$ f \circ g(x) = f(g(x))  $$\\$ \implies f(g(x)) = f(5x) $\\\textup{i.e., To substitute $5x$ instead of $x$ in $f(x)$}\\$\implies f(5(x)) = 4(5(x)) = 20x \\ $\textup{Now,}$f(g(1)) = 20(1) =20$}

Is the product of 2 perfect squares always a perfect square?
nexus9112 [7]
<span> The product of two perfect squares is a perfect square.

Proof of Existence:
Suppose a = 2^2 , b = 3^2 [ We have to show that the product of a and b is a perfect square.] then
c^2 = (a^2) (b^2)
= (2^2) (3^2)
= (4)9
= 36
and 36 is a perfect square of 6. This is to be shown and this completes the proof</span>
