The mean cost of a five pound bag of shrimp is 40 dollars with a standard deviation of 7 dollars. If a sample of 51 bags of shri

mp is randomly selected, what is the probability that the sample mean would differ from the true mean by more than 0.6 dollars? Round your answer to four decimal places.

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.

Find the area of the shape shown<br> below.
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

The area of the figure is 28 units².

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the area of the full rectangle, ignoring the triangle.

a = lw \\ a = 4 \times 8 = 32

Then, find the area of the triangle:

a =  \frac{bh}{2}  \\ a =  \frac{2 \times 4}{2}  \\ a = 4

Finally, subtract:

32 - 4 = 28

Each day, Robin commutes to work by bike with probability 0.4 and by walking with probability 0.6. When biking to work injuries
kvasek [131]

Answer:

64.65% probability of at least one injury commuting to work in the next 20 years

Step-by-step explanation:

In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:

P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}&#10;

In which

x is the number of sucesses

e = 2.71828 is the Euler number

\mu is the mean in the given interval.

Each day:

Bikes to work with probability 0.4.

If he bikes to work, 0.1 injuries per year.

Walks to work with probability 0.6.

If he walks to work, 0.02 injuries per year.

20 years.

So

\mu = 20*(0.4*0.1 + 0.6*0.02) = 1.04

Either he suffers no injuries, or he suffer at least one injury. The sum of the probabilities of these events is decimal 1. So

P(X = 0) + P(X \geq 1) = 1

We want P(X \geq 1). Then

P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)

In which

P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}&#10;

P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-1.04}*1.04^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.3535&#10;

P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.3535 = 0.6465

64.65% probability of at least one injury commuting to work in the next 20 years

What are the solutions to<br> (m +11)2 = 64?
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

(21 + 11)2 = 64

So, I don't think teachers do this, but this is my way of doing it

Okay, so first, I divided 64 by 2 :

64 ÷ 2 = 32

Then, I subtracted 11 from 32:

21

Now, to check, just do the problem :

(21 + 11)2 = 64

      32 * 2 = 64
