follows the normal distribution with a population standard deviation of 2 seconds. Suppose we select a sample of 21 ads produced by Majesty.a. What can we say about the shape of the distribution of the sample mean time?b. What is the standard error of the mean time? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places)c. What percent of the sample means will be greater than 27.05 seconds?d. What percent of the sample means will be greater than 25.05 seconds?e. What percent of the sample means will be greater than 25.05 but less than 27.05 seconds?"

Answer:

a) By the Central Limit Theorem, approximately normally distributed, with mean 26 and standard error 0.44.

b) s = 0.44

c) 0.84% of the sample means will be greater than 27.05 seconds

d) 98.46% of the sample means will be greater than 25.05 seconds

e) 97.62% of the sample means will be greater than 25.05 but less than 27.05 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation(also called standard error) s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 26, \sigma = 2, n = 21, s = \frac{2}{\sqrt{21}} = 0.44

a. What can we say about the shape of the distribution of the sample mean time?

By the Central Limit Theorem, approximately normally distributed, with mean 26 and standard error 0.44.

b. What is the standard error of the mean time? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places)

s = \frac{2}{\sqrt{21}} = 0.44

c. What percent of the sample means will be greater than 27.05 seconds?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 27.05. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

By the Central Limit Theorem

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

Z = \frac{27.05 - 26}{0.44}

Z = 2.39

Z = 2.39 has a pvalue of 0.9916

1 - 0.9916 = 0.0084

0.84% of the sample means will be greater than 27.05 seconds

d. What percent of the sample means will be greater than 25.05 seconds?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 25.05. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

Z = \frac{25.05 - 26}{0.44}

Z = -2.16

Z = -2.16 has a pvalue of 0.0154

1 - 0.0154 = 0.9846

98.46% of the sample means will be greater than 25.05 seconds

e. What percent of the sample means will be greater than 25.05 but less than 27.05 seconds?"

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 27.05 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 25.05.

X = 27.05

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

Z = \frac{27.05 - 26}{0.44}

Z = 2.39

Z = 2.39 has a pvalue of 0.9916

X = 25.05

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

Z = \frac{25.05 - 26}{0.44}

Z = -2.16

Z = -2.16 has a pvalue of 0.0154

0.9916 - 0.0154 = 0.9762

97.62% of the sample means will be greater than 25.05 but less than 27.05 seconds

Answer:

y = x^2/ 60 + 15

=>( x - h)^2 = 4a[ (x^2/6 + 15) - k ].

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, in order to solve this question very well, one thing we must keep at the back of our mind is that the representation for the equation of a parabola is given as ; y = ax^2 + bx + c.

That is to say; y = ax^2 + bx + c is the equation for a parabola. So, we should be expecting our answer to be in this form.

So, from the question above we are given that "the satellite dish will be in the shape of a parabola and will be positioned above the ground such that its focus is 30 ft above the ground"

We will make an assumption that the point on the ground is (0,0) and the focus is (0,30). Thus, the vertex (h,k) = (0,15).

The equation that best describes the equation of the satellite is given as;

(x - h)^2 = 4a( y - k). ------------------------(1).

[Note that if (h,k) = (0,15), then, a = 15].

Hence, (x - 0)^2 = (4 × 15) (y - 15).

x^2 = 60(y - 15).

x^2 = 60y - 900.

60y = x^2 + 900.

y = x^2/ 60 + 15.

Hence, we will have;

(x - h)^2 = 4a[ (x^2/6 + 15) - k ].

How to find the area and perimeter of irregular rectangles
LenaWriter [7]
To find the perimeter of irregular shapes in general, you just add the length of the sides. 
To find the area of irregular shapes, first, draw a line to separate the two shapes, then find the area of those two shapes and add them up.

Help ASAP!! 10 points! will give brainliest to correct answer!!
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

The answer to your question is ∠3 = 63°

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

∠2 = 117°

∠3 = x

Process

1.- Angles 2 and 3 are supplementary which means that their addition gives 180°.

So,

                ∠2 + ∠3 = 180

Substitution

                 117° + ∠3 = 180°

Solve for ∠3

                           ∠3 = 180° - 117°

Simplification and result

                            ∠3 = 63°

52 Bananas, 25% increase. What's the new amount?
vredina [299]
If there were 52 bananas and a percent of 25 was added 
Therefore we divide 25 by 100 which is 0.25 then multiply it by 52 which is 13 
then add 13 to 52 which is 65 so it was increased to 65 bananas
