A small town has 2000 families. The average number of children per family is mu = 2.5, with a standard deviation sigma = 1.7. A

sampling distribution of the mean for n = 64 is developed for this population. What is the standard error of the mean?

Answer:

Let X the random variable that represent the number of children per fammili of a population, and for this case we know the following info:

Where \mu=2.5 and \sigma=1.7

We select a sample of n =64 >30 and we can apply the central limit theorem. From the central limit theorem we know that the distribution for the sample mean \bar X is given by:

\bar X \sim N(\mu, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})

And for this case the standard error would be:

\sigma_{\bar X} = \frac{1.7}{\sqrt{64}}= 0.2125

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

The central limit theorem states that "if we have a population with mean μ and standard deviation σ and take sufficiently large random samples from the population with replacement, then the distribution of the sample means will be approximately normally distributed. This will hold true regardless of whether the source population is normal or skewed, provided the sample size is sufficiently large".

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the number of children per fammili of a population, and for this case we know the following info:

Where \mu=2.5 and \sigma=1.7

We select a sample of n =64 >30 and we can apply the central limit theorem. From the central limit theorem we know that the distribution for the sample mean \bar X is given by:

\bar X \sim N(\mu, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})

And for this case the standard error would be:

\sigma_{\bar X} = \frac{1.7}{\sqrt{64}}= 0.2125

The measures of the angles of a triangle are shown in the figure below. solve for x
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

67 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

All angles in a triangle add up to 180 degrees. So...

23 + x + 90 = 180

113 + x = 180

x = 67 degrees

Joy wants to buy strawberries and raspberries to bring to a party. Strawberries cost $1.60 per pound and raspberries cost $1.75
zimovet [89]

Answer: 1.60x + 1.75y is less than or equal to 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the strawberries cost $1.60 per pound, it would be x pounds times $1.60 for the total cost of strawberries. Since the raspberries cost $1.75 per pound, it would be y pounds times $1.75 for the total cost of the raspberries. The total cost of both, or 1.60x + 1.75y, must be equal to or less than 10 because she cannot spend over 10 dollars.

The best buy is from dealership B because dealership B has a lesser base price

<h3>The add-on options</h3>

For the purpose of this exercise, the add-on options to select are:

  • Sunroof
  • Keyless entry

<h3>Dealership A</h3>

The total amount of the add-on options is:

Total = $500 + $1500

Total = $2000

<u>The inequality</u>

This is represented using:

Base price * (1 + Tax) + Fees + Add-on total ≤ 20000

So, we have:

(1 + 6.75%) * x + 751.56 + 2000 ≤ 20000

<u>Solve for x</u>

We have:

(1 + 6.75%) * x + 751.56 + 2000 ≤ 20000

Evaluate the like terms

(1 + 6.75%) * x  ≤ 17248.44

Divide both sides by (1 + 6.75%)

x  ≤ 16157.79

The solution means that the base price of the car cannot exceed $16157.78 for dealership A

<u>The graph of the possible base price</u>

See attachment

<h3>Dealership B</h3>

The total amount of the add-on options is:

Total = $750 + $1000

Total = $1750

<u>The inequality</u>

This is represented using:

Base price * (1 + Tax) + Fees + Add-on total ≤ 20000

So, we have:

(1 + 6.75%) * x + 1524.72 + 1750 ≤ 20000

<u>Solve for x</u>

We have:

(1 + 6.75%) * x + 1524.72 + 1750 ≤ 20000

Evaluate the like terms

(1 + 6.75%) * x  ≤ 16725.28

Divide both sides by (1 + 6.75%)

x  ≤ 15667.71

The solution means that the base price of the car cannot exceed $15667.71 for dealership B

<u>The graph of the possible base price</u>

See attachment

<h3>Where to buy from</h3>

Buy from dealership B because dealership B has a lesser base price

Let f(x) = 2x - 1, g(x) = x²- 2 x+ 1. find (f• g ) (x)​
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

f•g(x) = f(x)•g(x)

f•g(x) = (2x-1) (x²-2x+1)

= 2x³-4x²+2x-x²+2x-1

= 2x³-5x²+4x-1
