I think this is what it's asking for...

a) 17 is the total amount ran
5 is the number of miles
x is the hours (which is unknown)
you have to find x. the problem says that there are 5 miles per hour so your x would go with your 5. the 17 stays on the opposite side of the =
17=5x

b) to find the amount of time (x) just solve for x
17=5x is your equation
you now have to isolate the x (do this by dividing 5 on both sides of the equation)
5/x= x alone
17/5=3.4
3.4=x
* remember that x is hours in this problem, so round if you need too

Your boss tells you that she knows the length of the widgets your company makes is normally distributed with a mean of 25 inches

sp2606 [1]

Answer:

Mean of sampling distribution = 25 inches

Standard deviation of sampling distribution = 4 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 25 inches

Standard Deviation, σ = 12 inches

Sample size, n = 9

We are given that the distribution of length of the widgets is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

a) Mean of the sampling distribution

The best approximator for the mean of the sampling distribution is the population mean itself.

Thus, we can write:

$\bar{x} = \mu = 25\text{ inches}$

b) Standard deviation of the sampling distribution

$s = \dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} = \dfrac{12}{\sqrt{9}} = 4\text{ inches}$
