A normally distributed population has mean 57,800 and standard deviation 750. Find the probability that a single randomly select

ed element X of the population is between 57,000 and 58,000. Find the mean and standard deviation of X - for samples of size 100. Find the probability that the mean of a sample of size 100 drawn from this population is between 57,000 and 58,000.

Answer:

(a) Probability that a single randomly selected element X of the population is between 57,000 and 58,000 = 0.46411

(b) Probability that the mean of a sample of size 100 drawn from this population is between 57,000 and 58,000 = 0.99621

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a normally distributed population has mean 57,800 and standard deviation 75, i.e.; \mu = 57,800  and  \sigma = 750.

Let X = randomly selected element of the population

The z probability is given by;

           Z = \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} ~ N(0,1)  

(a) So, P(57,000 <= X <= 58,000) = P(X <= 58,000) - P(X < 57,000)

P(X <= 58,000) = P( \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} <= \frac{58000-57800}{750} ) = P(Z <= 0.27) = 0.60642

P(X < 57000) = P( \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} < \frac{57000-57800}{750} ) = P(Z < -1.07) = 1 - P(Z <= 1.07)

                                                          = 1 - 0.85769 = 0.14231

Therefore, P(31 < X < 40) = 0.60642 - 0.14231 = 0.46411 .

(b) Now, we are given sample of size, n = 100

So, Mean of X, X bar = 57,800 same as before

But standard deviation of X, s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } = \frac{750}{\sqrt{100} } = 75

The z probability is given by;

           Z = \frac{Xbar-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } ~ N(0,1)  

Now, probability that the mean of a sample of size 100 drawn from this population is between 57,000 and 58,000 = P(57,000 < X bar < 58,000)

P(57,000 <= X bar <= 58,000) = P(X bar <= 58,000) - P(X bar < 57,000)

P(X bar <= 58,000) = P( \frac{Xbar-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } <= \frac{58000-57800}{\frac{750}{\sqrt{100} } } ) = P(Z <= 2.67) = 0.99621

P(X < 57000) = P( \frac{Xbar-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } < \frac{57000-57800}{\frac{750}{\sqrt{100} } } ) = P(Z < -10.67) = P(Z > 10.67)

This probability is that much small that it is very close to 0

Therefore, P(57,000 < X bar < 58,000) = 0.99621 - 0 = 0.99621 .

Answer:

$68.97

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation you have to use is I=p(1.45)

If you have a 45% increase to 100, the original price was $68.97.

Svetlanka [38]
A. <span>2x + 5y= 10
    5y= -2x+10
</span>-> y= -2/5x+2

b. The slope is 2

c. For the y  intecpet, x is always 0

y= -2/5x+2
y= -2/5(0)+2
y=0+2
y=2

(0,2) is the y-interecpt
