Suppose that the population mean for income is $50,000, while the population standard deviation is 25,000. If we select a random

sample of 1,000 people, what is the probability that sample will have a mean that is greater than $52,000?

Answer:

Probability that the sample will have a mean that is greater than $52,000 is 0.0057.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the population mean for income is $50,000, while the population standard deviation is 25,000.

We select a random sample of 1,000 people.

<em>Let </em>\bar X<em> = sample mean</em>

The z-score probability distribution for sample mean is given by;

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

where, \mu = population mean = $50,000

            \sigma = population standard deviation = $25,000

            n = sample of people = 1,000

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is away from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value (area) 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.

So, probability that the sample will have a mean that is greater than $52,000 is given by = P(\bar X > $52,000)

  P(\bar X > $52,000) = P( \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } > \frac{52,000-50,000}{\frac{25,000}{\sqrt{1,000} } } ) = P(Z > 2.53) = 1 - P(Z \leq 2.53)

                                                                    = 1 - 0.9943 = 0.0057

<em>Now, in the z table the P(Z </em>\leq<em> x) or P(Z < x) is given. So, the above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 2.53 in the z table which has an area of 0.9943.</em>

Therefore, probability that the sample will have a mean that is greater than $52,000 is 0.0057.

A parabola can be drawn given a focus of
Volgvan

Answer:

y=-\frac{1}{4}(x-2)^{2}+9

Step-by-step explanation:

Any point on a given parabola is equidistant from focus and directrix.

Given:

Focus of the parabola is at (2,8).

Directrix of the parabola is y=10.

Let (x,y) be any point on the parabola. Then, from the definition of a parabola,

Distance of (x,y) from focus = Distance of (x,y) from directrix.

Therefore,

\sqrt{(x-2)^{2}+(y-8)^{2}}=|y-10|

Squaring both sides, we get

(x-2)^{2}+(y-8)^{2}=(y-10)^{2}\\(x-2)^{2}=(y-10)^{2}-(y-8)^{2}\\(x-2)^{2}=(y-10+y-8)(y-10-(y-8))...............[\because a^{2}-b^{2}=(a+b)(a-b)]\\(x-2)^{2}=(2y-18)(y-10-y+8)\\(x-2)^{2}=2(y-9)(-2)\\(x-2)^{2}=-4(y-9)\\y-9=-\frac{1}{4}(x-2)^{2}\\y=-\frac{1}{4}(x-2)^{2}+9

Hence, the equation of the parabola is y=-\frac{1}{4}(x-2)^{2}+9.

Determine the equation of the line that passes through A(2,-5) and B(6,-3).
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

y = 1/2x - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

-3 - (-5) / 6 - 2

2/4

= 1/2

y = 1/2x + b

-3 = 1/2(6) + b

-3 = 3 + b

-6 = b
