Assume that the heights of adult Caucasian women have a mean of 63.6 inches and a standard deviation of 2.5 inches. If 100 women

are randomly​ selected, find the probability that they have a mean height greater than 63.0 inches. Round to four decimal places.

Answer:

0.9918 = 99.18% probability that they have a mean height greater than 63.0 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we have to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value 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. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central limit theorem:

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, a large sample size can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation, which is also called standard error s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 63.6, \sigma = 2.5, n = 100, s = \frac{2.5}{\sqrt{100}} = 0.25

Find the probability that they have a mean height greater than 63.0 inches.

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 63. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

By the Central Limit Theorem

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

Z = \frac{63 - 63.6}{0.25}

Z = -2.4

Z = -2.4 has a pvalue of 0.0082

1 - 0.0082 = 0.9918

0.9918 = 99.18% probability that they have a mean height greater than 63.0 inches.

Follow the process of completing the square to solve 2x2 + 8x - 12 = 0.
Rom4ik [11]
Please:  Use "^" to denote exponentiation:  <span>2x^2 + 8x - 12 = 0

Reduce this by div. every term by 2:             </span><span>x^2 + 4x - 6 = 0

Here a=1, b=4 and c = -6.  Square half of b, obtaining (4/2)^2 = 4, and add, and then subtract, this 4 to x^2 + 4x - 6:

</span> x^2 + 4x +4  - 4 - 6 = 0.  Rewrite the square as (x+2)^2, obtaining new equation

(x+2)^2 = 10.  Take the sqrt of both sides:   x+2 = plus or minus sqrt(10).

Finally, solve for x:  x = -2 plus or minus sqrt(10).

Answer:

C. C = 3P

Step-by-step explanation:

C = total costs

P = number of popsicles

Unit price of 1 popsicle = $3

To get the total cost of popsicles, we need to multiply the number of popsicles bought by the price of each popsicles

Total cost of popsicles = number of popsicles × unit price

Thus, the question would be written as:

C = 3P
