<u>Part 1)</u> Use the fact that there are 12 inches in a foot

a) How many inches tall is a 7 foot basketball player?

we know that

1 foot=12 inches

so by proportion

\frac{12}{1} \frac{inches}{foot} =\frac{x}{7} \frac{inches}{feet} \\ \\x=12*7\\ \\x=84\ inches

therefore

<u>the answer Part 1a) is</u>

84\ inches

Part b) If a yard is a 3 feet long, how many inches are in a yard?

we know that

1 yard=3 feet

1 foot=12 inches

so

Convert 3 feet to inches

by proportion

\frac{12}{1} \frac{inches}{foot} =\frac{x}{3} \frac{inches}{feet} \\ \\x=12*3\\ \\x=36\ inches    

therefore

<u>the answer Part 1b) is</u>

36\ inches

<u>Part 2) </u>At the farmer's market two pounds of peaches cost $4.20 How much will five pounds cost?

by proportion

\frac{4.20}{2} \frac{\$}{pounds} =\frac{x}{5} \frac{\$}{pounds} \\ \\2*x=4.2*5\\ \\x=4.2*5/2=\$10.5    

therefore

<u>the answer Part 2) is</u>

\$10.5

<u>Part 3) </u>Janice mother gave her a ten dollars bill to buy five pounds each of bananas and apples at the grocery store. When she got there she found that bananas were 80 c per pound and apples were $1.40 per pound.

Did Janice's mother give her enough money? If so, should she receive any change? If not, how much more money does she need?

 we know that

<u>Find the cost of the bananas</u>

5\ pounds*0.80\frac{\$}{pounds}=\$4

<u>Find the cost of the apples</u>

5\ pounds*1.40\frac{\$}{pounds}=\$7

Sum the cost of the bananas and the cost of the apples

\$4+\$7=\$11

\$11 > \$10------> Janice's mother didn't give her enough money

She needs more money

She needs-------> \$11-\$10=\$1

therefore

<u>the answer part 3) is</u>

She needs  \$1 more

Solve the problem. Use the Central Limit Theorem.The annual precipitation amounts in a certain mountain range are normally distr
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

0.8944 = 89.44% probability that the mean annual precipitation during 25 randomly picked years will be less than 112 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we use the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the z-score 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 p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes 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.

Mean of 109.0 inches, and a standard deviation of 12 inches.

This means that \mu = 109, \sigma = 12

Sample of 25.

This means that n = 25, s = \frac{12}{\sqrt{25}} = 2.4

What is the probability that the mean annual precipitation during 25 randomly picked years will be less than 112 inches?

This is the p-value of Z when X = 112. So

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

Z = \frac{112 - 109}{2.4}

Z = 1.25

Z = 1.25 has a p-value of 0.8944.

0.8944 = 89.44% probability that the mean annual precipitation during 25 randomly picked years will be less than 112 inches.
