The Insurance Institute reports that the mean amount of life insurance per household in the US is $110,000. This follows a norma

l distribution with a standard deviation of $40,000.

Answer:

a) \sigma_{\bar X} = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}= \frac{40000}{\sqrt{50}}= 5656.85

b) Since the distribution for X is normal then we know that the distribution for the sample mean \bar X is given by:

\bar X \sim N(\mu, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})

c) P( \bar X >112000) = P(Z>\frac{112000-110000}{\frac{40000}{\sqrt{50}}}) = P(Z>0.354)

And we can use the complement rule and we got:

P(Z>0.354) = 1-P(Z

d) P( \bar X >100000) = P(Z>\frac{100000-110000}{\frac{40000}{\sqrt{50}}}) = P(Z>-1.768)

And we can use the complement rule and we got:

P(Z>-1.768) = 1-P(Z

e) P(100000< \bar X

And we can use the complement rule and we got:

P(-1.768

Step-by-step explanation:

a. If we select a random sample of 50 households, what is the standard error of the mean?

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Let X the random variable that represent the amount of life insurance of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(110000,40000)  

Where \mu=110000 and \sigma=40000

If we select a sample size of n =35 the standard error is given by:

\sigma_{\bar X} = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}= \frac{40000}{\sqrt{50}}= 5656.85

b. What is the expected shape of the distribution of the sample mean?

Since the distribution for X is normal then we know that the distribution for the sample mean \bar X is given by:

\bar X \sim N(\mu, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})

c. What is the likelihood of selecting a sample with a mean of at least $112,000?

For this case we want this probability:

P(X > 112000)

And we can use the z score given by:

z= \frac{\bar X  -\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

And replacing we got:

P( \bar X >112000) = P(Z>\frac{112000-110000}{\frac{40000}{\sqrt{50}}}) = P(Z>0.354)

And we can use the complement rule and we got:

P(Z>0.354) = 1-P(Z

d. What is the likelihood of selecting a sample with a mean of more than $100,000?

For this case we want this probability:

P(X > 100000)

And we can use the z score given by:

z= \frac{\bar X  -\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

And replacing we got:

P( \bar X >100000) = P(Z>\frac{100000-110000}{\frac{40000}{\sqrt{50}}}) = P(Z>-1.768)

And we can use the complement rule and we got:

P(Z>-1.768) = 1-P(Z

e. Find the likelihood of selecting a sample with a mean of more than $100,000 but less than $112,000

For this case we want this probability:

P(100000

And we can use the z score given by:

z= \frac{\bar X  -\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

And replacing we got:

P(100000< \bar X

And we can use the complement rule and we got:

P(-1.768

The table shows the distance in feet, y, that a rocket traveled in x seconds.
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

The correct option is D. y = 25x^{2}.

Step-by-step explanation:

i) From the table and our own observation and a trial and error approach we

  can clearly see that the equation that matches y in feet ( the distance

  traveled by the rocket) and x in seconds ( the time elapsed) is given by the

  equation y = 25x^{2}

 Therefore the correct option is D. y = 25x^{2}.

The measures of center and variability for the

temperatures that were lower this week than last week include mean, range, mean absolute deviation.

<h3>What is a mean?</h3>

It should be noted that a mean simply means the average set if numbers given.

Also, the range is the difference between the highest number and the lowest number in the data.
