$\frac{7}{12} - \frac{1}{6} = \frac{7}{12} - \frac{1\times2}{6\times 2} = \frac{7}{12} - \frac{2}{12} =\frac{7-2}{12} = \huge{\boxed{\frac{5}{12}}}$

Answer:

Between 21 years and 75 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a real estate company is interested in the ages of home buyers. They examined the ages of thousands of home buyers and found that the mean age was 48 years old, with a standard deviation of 9 years.

X the ages of home buyers is N(48, 9)

a) $30\leq x\leq 66\\|x-48|\leq 18\\|x-48|\leq 2\sigma$

Hence using Cheby chev inequality

$P(|x-48|\leq 2\sigma)\geq 1-\frac{1}{2^2} \\=0.75$

b) $25.5\leq x\leq 70.5\\|x-48|\leq 22.5\\|x-48|\leq 1.5\sigma$

$P(|x-48|\leq 1.5\sigma)\geq 1-\frac{1}{1.5^2} \\=0.556$

c) Using normal distribution we have

$P(|x-48|\leq 2\sigma)=0.95$

d) z value is 2.97

Hence x lies between

$(48-9*2.97, 49+9*2.97)\\=(21.27,74.73)$

Between 21 years and 75 years

3x+1+5x=7+15+7x what is x?

LenKa [72]

Answer: x=21

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for x you must first combine you like terms on each side of the equal sign. So you problem will become 8x+1=22+7x. Then get your x on one side and your numbers on the other by taking the one away from the right side and 1 away from 22. Then take away 7 from the left side to cancel it out. Then take 7x away from 8x to leave you with x. making your answer x=21

A random sample of 150 men found that 88 of the men excercise regularly, while a random sample 200 women found that 130 of the w

melamori03 [73]

Answer:

The hypothesis is:

H₀: $p_{X}-p_{Y}=0$ .

Hₐ: $p_{X}-p_{Y}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X = number of men who exercise regularly and Y = number of women who exercise regularly.

The information provided is:

$n_{X}=150\\X=88\\n_{Y}=200\\Y=130$

Compute the sample proportion of men and women who exercise regularly as follows:

$\hat p_{X}=\frac{X}{n_{X}}=\frac{88}{150}=0.587$

$\hat p_{Y}=\frac{Y}{n_{Y}}=\frac{130}{200}=0.65$

The random variable X follows a Binomial distribution with parameters n = 150 and $\hat p_{X}=0.587$ .

The random variable Y also follows a Binomial distribution with parameters n = 200 and $\hat p_{Y}=0.65$ .

According to the Central limit theorem, if from an unknown population large samples of sizes n > 30, are selected and the sample proportion for each sample is computed then the sampling distribution of sample proportion follows a Normal distribution.

The mean of this sampling distribution of sample proportion is:

$\hat p=p$

The standard deviation of this sampling distribution of sample proportion is:

$\sigma_{\hat p}=\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}$

So, the sampling distribution of the proportion of men and women who exercise regularly follows a Normal distribution.

A two proportion z-test cab be performed to determine whether the proportion of women is more than men who exercise regularly.

The hypothesis for this test cab be defined as:

H₀: The proportion of women is same as men who exercise regularly, i.e. $p_{X}-p_{Y}=0$ .

Hₐ: The proportion of women is more than men who exercise regularly, i.e. $p_{X}-p_{Y}$ .

Super simple

So he wants to be three pounds away from his ideal weight (168)

Which means he can either be 3 pounds under or 3 pounds over

So his min is 165, his max is 171
