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).

-2x+5y=30? Can someone show me the steps on how to put this into slope-intercept form?
chubhunter [2.5K]
Move the variable to the right 5y=30+2x Then decide both sides by 5 y=6+2/5x the reorder then using the communities property y=2/5x + 6 then that’s ur solution y=2/5x + 6

Eighty percent of the students in a class (group A) share 40% of the candy equally. The remaining 20% of the students (group B)
mestny [16]

Answer:

1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

There is x candy in total and y students in total.

Group A consists of 0.8y students, and group B consists of 0.2y students.

Group A gets 40% of x, or 0.4x. Each student in group A gets 0.4x/(0.8y) = 0.5x/y candy per person.

Group B gets 60% of x, or 0.6x. Each student in group B gets 0.6x/(0.2y) = 3x/y candy per person.

The ratio of candy each student in group A has to the amount of candy each student in group B has is:

(0.5x/y)/(3x/y) = 0.5/3 = 1/6
