Without doing any computation, decide which has a higher probability, assuming each sample is from a population that is normally

distributed with a mean equal to 100 and a standard deviation equal to 15. explain your reasoning. (a) p(90≤sample mean≤110) for a random sample of size n = 10 (b) p(90≤sample mean≤110) for a random sample of size n = 20

Answer: The probability in (b) has higher probability than the probability in (a).

Explanation:

Since we're computing for the probability of the sample mean, we consider the z-score and the standard deviation of the sampling distribution. Recall that the standard deviation of the sampling distribution approximately the quotient of the population standard deviation and the square root of the sample size.

So, if the sample size higher, the standard deviation of the sampling distribution is lower. Since the sample size in (b) is higher, the standard deviation of the sampling distribution in (b) is lower. 

Moreover, since the mean of the sampling distribution is the same as the population mean, the lower the standard deviation, the wider the range of z-scores. Because the standard deviation in (b) is lower, it has a wider range of z-scores.

Note that in a normal distribution, if the probability has wider range of z-scores, it has a higher probability. Therefore, the probability in (b) has higher probability than the probability in (a) because it has wider range of z-scores than the probability in (a).

Write 8/6 as a fraction with a denominator of 3
Lyrx [107]
4/3 is your answer because if you simplify 8/6 by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 2, you will get 4/3.

Also, if you want a mixed number, it is 1 1/3.

Hope this helps!

Hal says the volume of the sphere shown below 36 cm3. Find the correct volume, using 3.14 for pi. Round to the nearest hundredth
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

Volume of sphere is 35.98cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that Hal says that volume of sphere is 36cm^3

Volume of sphere is given by V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3

\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3=36

\pi r^3=27

r^3=8.594

r=2.048cm

Now using 3.14 in place of \pi

Now volume of sphere is

V=\frac{4}{3}\times 3.14\times 2.048^3

V=35.98cm^3

Therefore volume of sphere when we use 3.14 in place of \pi is 35.98cm^3

And the Hal likely error is he uses \pi directly for calculation of volume.

F as a function of x is equal to the square root of quantity 4 x plus 6, g as a function of x is equal to the square root of qua
andriy [413]
<span>f(x)=âš(4x+6) g(x)=âš(4x-6) This is what we are given to work with, originally. Now, for the next part, we are asked to add the functions f(x) and g(x) together - and this is just what you do! You add the functions together, and then combine like terms. (f+g)(x)=âš(4x+6)+âš(4x-6) --> âš(8x) + 6 - 6 :: and the 6's cancel each other, while the root 4x's add... and you have... (f+g)(x)=âš(8x) Thank you very much.</span>
