Answer:

The number of boys is 34 And The number of girls is 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

Total number of boys and girls = 50

Total amount to be divided between boys and girls = Rs 41

The amount given to each boys = 90 paise = Rs 0.9

The amount given to each girls = 65 paise = Rs 0.65

Let The number of Boys = B

The numbers of girls = G

So, According to question

0.9 B + 0.65 G = Rs 41

And B + G = 50

Or, 0.9 B + 0.65 G = Rs 41 .......1

And 0.9 B + 0.9 G = 45 ......2

Now, ( 0.9 B + 0.9 G ) - ( 0.9 B + 0.65 G ) = 45 - 41

Or, 0.25 G = 4

∴ G = $\frac{4}{0.25}$ = 16

And The number of boys = B = 50 - G = 50 - 16 = 34

Hence The number of boys is 34 And The number of girls is 16 Answer

Select the correct answer. Which pair of statements correctly compares the two data sets? A. The difference of the means is 1. T

Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

For this case since the p value is higher than the significance level we can FAIL to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true means are NOT significantly different at 10% of significance.

Step-by-step explanation:

Information provided

represent the mean for sample 1

represent the mean for sample 2

represent the sample standard deviation for 1

represent the sample standard deviation for 2

sample size for the group 2

Significance level provided

t would represent the statistic

Hypothesis to test

We want to verify if the true means for this case are significantly different, the system of hypothesis would be:

Null hypothesis:

Alternative hypothesis:

The statistic is given by:

The scores on the GMAT entrance exam at an MBA program in the Central Valley of California are normally distributed with a mean

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

58.32% probability that a randomly selected application will report a GMAT score of less than 600

93.51% probability that a sample of 50 randomly selected applications will report an average GMAT score of less than 600

98.38% probability that a sample of 100 randomly selected applications will report an average GMAT score of less than 600

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 $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .

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:

$\mu = 591, \sigma = 42$

What is the probability that a randomly selected application will report a GMAT score of less than 600?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 600. So

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

$Z = \frac{600 - 591}{42}$

$Z = 0.21$

$Z = 0.21$ has a pvalue of 0.5832

58.32% probability that a randomly selected application will report a GMAT score of less than 600

What is the probability that a sample of 50 randomly selected applications will report an average GMAT score of less than 600?

Now we have $n = 50, s = \frac{42}{\sqrt{50}} = 5.94$

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 600. So

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

$Z = \frac{600 - 591}{5.94}$

$Z = 1.515$

$Z = 1.515$ has a pvalue of 0.9351

93.51% probability that a sample of 50 randomly selected applications will report an average GMAT score of less than 600

What is the probability that a sample of 100 randomly selected applications will report an average GMAT score of less than 600?

Now we have $n = 50, s = \frac{42}{\sqrt{100}} = 4.2$

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

$Z = \frac{600 - 591}{4.2}$

$Z = 2.14$

$Z = 2.14$ has a pvalue of 0.9838

98.38% probability that a sample of 100 randomly selected applications will report an average GMAT score of less than 600
