Answer:

P(|\bar{x}-40| > 0.6)=0.5404

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 40 dollars

Standard Deviation, σ = 7 dollars

Sample size,n = 51

We are given that the distribution of cost of shrimp is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

Standard error due to sampling =

=\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} = \dfrac{7}{\sqrt{51}} = 0.9801

P(sample mean would differ by true mean by more than 0.6)

P(|\bar{x}-40| > 0.6)\\\Rightarrow = 1-P(39.4

P(39.4 \leq x \leq 40.6) \\\\= P(\displaystyle\frac{39.4 - 40}{0.9801} \leq z \leq \displaystyle\frac{40.6-40}{0.9801})\\\\ = P(-0.6121 \leq z \leq 0.6121)\\= P(z \leq 0.6121) - P(z < -0.6121)\\= 0.7298 - 0.2702 =0.4596

P(|\bar{x}|-40 > 0.6)\\= 1-0.4596=0.5404

0.5404 is the required probability.

statuscvo [17]
32+20=52 so there are 52 people in all. 
32/52  people are men.
we now have to subtract 1 from this fraction like so 32-1/52-1 since the magician took away 1 man from the audience (therefore reducing the amount of men as well as the audience as a whole) resulting in 31/51
we multiply 32/52 with 31/51 to get 248/663. simply turn this fraction into a percent by multiplying the quotient by 100 and rounding it to the nearest tenth to get 37.4%

kotykmax [81]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the distance formula to determine the distance between the two points.

Distance

=√(x2−x1)2+(y2−y1)2

Substitute the actual values of the points into the distance formula.

√(2−(−3))2+((−6)−(−7))2

Simplify.
