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).

Graph ∆KLM with vertices K(2,2), L(0,- 1), and M(-3,2). Graph ∆K'L'M' with a scale factor of 2. What are the coordinates of the
olasank [31]

Answer:

The coordinates of the new vertices are:

K'(4,4), L'(0,- 2), and M'(-6,4).

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to dilate a shape by 2, you can simply multiply the coordinates of the orignal triangle each by 2 to find the new coordinates of the new vertices.

K(2,2), L(0,- 1), and M(-3,2)

K'(2*2,2*2), L'(0*2,- 1*2), and M'(-3*2,2*2).

Now become...

K'(4,4), L'(0,- 2), and M'(-6,4).

You can now graph ∆K'L'M' using these coordinates.

* this is pretty difficult for me , provide details if necessary * // ANSWER ASAP //
fredd [130]

Answer:

A.

Step-by-step explanation:

1 radian = 180/π

So

Multiplying both sides by 25π/18

We'll get,

25π/18 (r) = (180/π)×(25π/18)

= (180×25)/18

= 10×25

= 250 degrees

I need help with this problem answers is right there but show me how to get that answer
Olin [163]
First you find P which would be 16+17+17 which equals 50. Then you find B which is 1/2•16•15 which equals 120. Next you write the formula which would look like 50(20)+2(120) which equals 1240!
