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

Which phrase describes the linear relationship between the x and y values shown in the table?
kompoz [17]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  C. y is 6 less than x

Step-by-step explanation:

It is not hard to check.

  A. 6 times x is 6×8 = 48, not 2

  B. 6 times y is 6×2 = 12, not 8

  C. 6 less than 8 is 2; 6 less than 9 is 3

  D. 6 more than 8 is 14, not 2

__

The relation described in C matches the table.

Graph the line with slope 7 and y-intercept -7
poizon [28]

<u>Given</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

  • To graph the line with slope 7 and y intercept -7.

<u>To </u><u>Find</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

  • The graph of the line .

<u>Solution</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

Here since the slope of the line is 7 and y intercept is -7 , we can use the slope intercept form of the line to find the equation of the line . The slope intercept form of the line is ,

\longrightarrow y = mx + c

On putting the respective values ,

\longrightarrow y = 7(x) + (-7)

\longrightarrow y = 7x - 7

Let f(x)=(18)3^x. find the equation of the line between the points (-2,f(-2)) and (1,f(1))
horsena [70]

\text{Given that,} \\\\f(x) = 18 \cdot 3^x \\\\f(-2) = 18 \cdot 3^{-2} = 2\\\\f(1) = 18 \cdot 3^1 = 54\\ \\\text{So,}~ (x_1,y_1) = (x_1, f(-2)) = (-2,2) ~\text{and}~ (x_2,y_2) = (x_2, f(1)) = (1,54)\\ \\\text{Slope,}~ m = \dfrac{y_2 -y_1}{x_2 -x_1} = \dfrac{54-2}{1+2} = \dfrac{52}3 \\\\

\text{Equation of line,}\\\\~~~~~~~y - y_1 = m (x-x_1)\\\\\\\implies y-2 = \dfrac{52}3(x+2)~~~~~~~~~~~;[\text{Point-Slope form.]} \\\\\\\implies y-2 = \dfrac{52}3x + \dfrac{104}3\\\\\\\implies y = \dfrac{52}{3}x + \dfrac{104} 3 +2\\\\\\\implies y = \dfrac{52}3 x +\dfrac{110}3 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~;[\text{Slope -Intercept form}]
