$z = \dfrac{ 212.50 - 200}{8.9} = 1.4$

Looking up 1.4 in the standard normal table,

$P(z>1.4) = 1 - .9192 = 0.0808$

Answer: 8.1%

The standard deviation of the average is the standard deviation of an individual sample divided by the square root of n.

$z = \dfrac{198.70 - 200}{ 8.9/\sqrt{25} } = - .7303$

$P(z > -.7303) = 1 - P( z> .7303) = P(z < .7303) = .7674$

Answer: 76.7%

We know the data is normal so so is its sum and average. The standard deviation of the individual observations is given so the standard deviation of an average of n is easily calculated. We use t tests when we're estimating the standard deviation from the data.

Find x and y. (4,3),(5,y); slope= 3

Delvig [45]

X could either be 4 or 5, depending on which x the question asks. If you have to chose one answer go with 5 because it's associated with the y.

Numbered disks are placed in a box and one disk is selected at random. If there are 6 red disks numbered 1 through 6, and 2 yell

Tatiana [17]

Answer:

$\frac{3}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of red disk=6

Total number of yellow disk=2

Total disk=6+2=8

Odd number=1,3,5,7=4

Odd number on red disk=1,3,5=3

Probability, $P(E)=\frac{favorable\;cases}{total\;number\;of\;cases}$

Using the formula

The probability of getting odd number disk= $\frac{4}{8}=\frac{1}{2}$

The probability of getting odd numbered red disk= $\frac{3}{8}$

The probability of selecting a red disk,given that an odd numbered disk is selected= $\frac{\frac{3}{8}}{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{3}{8}\times 2=\frac{3}{4}$
