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).

M<3 is (3x + 4) and m<5 is (2x +11)
butalik [34]

Answer:

Part 1) Option C. Same side interior angles

Part 2) Option A. (3x+4)+(2x+11)=180\°

Part 3) Option B. m

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) we know that

If p and q are parallel

then

m<3 and m<5 are consecutive interior angles or Same side interior angles

and

m

Part 2) we know that

m -----> by consecutive interior angles (supplementary angles)

we have that

m

m

so

substitute

(3x+4)+(2x+11)=180\°

Part 3) Find the measure of angle 5

we know that

(3x+4)+(2x+11)=180\°

Solve for x

5x+15\°=180\°

5x=180\°-15\°

x=165\°/5\°=33\°

m

substitute the value of x

m

Javier and his friends go out to eat. The restaurant they chose automatically adds a 15% gratuity to their food bill since they
siniylev [52]

well, we know that 213.90 includes the 15% gratuity, so if the meal price was say "x", namely that is the 100%, and we add 15% to that, then 100% + 15% = 115%, so 213.90 is really the 115%.

now, if 213.90 is the 115.%, what is "x"?  the 100%.


\bf \begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} 213.90&115\\ x&100 \end{array}\implies \cfrac{213.9}{x}=\cfrac{115}{100}\implies 21390=115x \\\\\\ \cfrac{21390}{115}=x\implies 186=x


so since we know the meal without the tip is 186 bucks, the tip was then 213.90 - 186 = 27.90.

but they got extra potato wedges with butter and the waitress was wearing her best hat, they added $20 more, so the tip ended  up as 27.90 + 20 = 47.90.

now, if the cost of the meal was $186 and that is the 100%, what is 47.90 off of it in percentage?


\bf \begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} 186&100\\ 47.90&x \end{array}\implies \cfrac{186}{47.90}=\cfrac{100}{x}\implies 186x=4790 \\\\\\ x=\cfrac{4790}{186}\implies x\approx \stackrel{\%}{25.75}

5. Landon bought a new car for $16,000 and it depreciates 4.5% every year. Write a function that describes
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

<h3>The value C(t) of the car after  5  years is $12709.</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Landon bought a new car for $16,000 and it depreciates 4.5% every year.

<h3>To find the value C(t) of the car after  5  years:</h3>

Initial value C(0)= $16,000

Depreciation rate is  r=\frac{4.5}{100}

<h3>∴ r=0.045</h3>

Period ,  t=5 years

C(t)=C(0)(1-r)^t

Substitute the values we get

C(5)=16000(1-0.045)^5

=16000(0.955)^5

=16000(0.7943)

∴ C(5)=12708.8

<h3>The value C(t) of the car after  5  years is  $ 12709</h3>
