Assume that females have pulse rates that are normally distributed with a mean of mu equals 74.0 beats per minute and a standard

deviation of sigma equals 12.5 beats per minute. Complete parts​ (a) through​ (c) below. a. If 1 adult female is randomly​ selected, find the probability that her pulse rate is less than 80 beats per minute. The probability is nothing. ​(Round to four decimal places as​ needed.) b. If 25 adult females are randomly​ selected, find the probability that they have pulse rates with a mean less than 80 beats per minute. The probability is nothing. ​(Round to four decimal places as​ needed.) c. Why can the normal distribution be used in part​ (b), even though the sample size does not exceed​ 30? A. Since the distribution is of sample​ means, not​ individuals, the distribution is a normal distribution for any sample size. B. Since the distribution is of​ individuals, not sample​ means, the distribution is a normal distribution for any sample size. C. Since the original population has a normal​ distribution, the distribution of sample means is a normal distribution for any sample size. D. Since the mean pulse rate exceeds​ 30, the distribution of sample means is a normal distribution for any sample size.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be a random variable representing pulse rate of adult females. Since the pulse rates are normally distributed, then according to the central limit theorem,

z = (x - µ)/σ

Where

x = sample mean

µ = population mean

σ = standard deviation

From the information given,

µ = 74

σ = 12.5

a) P(x < 80)

For x = 80,

z = (80 - 74)/12.5 = 0.48

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.6844

P(x < 80) = 0.6844

b) Since the number of samples, n = 25, then the formula would be

z = (x - µ)/(σ/√n)

z = (80 - 74)/(12.5/√25) = 2.4

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.9918

P(x < 80) = 0.9918

c) the normal distribution can be used in part​ b because

C. Since the original population has a normal​ distribution, the distribution of sample means is a normal distribution for any sample size.

The cost of attendance at State College is $19,500 for the first year. Devise a periodic savings plan that will allow you to mak
ValentinkaMS [17]
We are told to use simple interest rate. Formula for this is:
A=P*(1+r*t)

Where:
A= total accumulated amount (principal + interest)
P= principal
r= yearly percentage rate
t= number of years

We need to save $19500 for the first year at a college. This is the amount we will have at the account after five years. In our case this is A.
Principal is the amount we need to put into savings to get the total amount needed. In our case this is P.
Yearly percentage rate is the percentage by which our savings increase at the end of a year. In our case this is r.
t is number of years that we are holding our money on the bank account.

To solve this problem we will assume that we are putting same amount each month on the bank account.

We are given:
A=$19500
P=?
r=1.5%
t=5 years

First step is to transform r into decimal number:
r= \frac{1.5}{100} =0.015

Now we get back to our formula and we solve it for P:
A=P*(1+r*t) \\ P= \frac{A}{1+r*t}
We insert numbers and we get our principal:
P= \frac{19500}{1+0.015*5}  \\ P=18139.53

We need to put $18139.53 into savings to get required amount after 5 years or 5*12=60months. Assuming that we put same amount each month into savings we need to put
18139.53 / 60 = 302.33

This is our solution for this problem. This is closest to the amount we would need to put in real life. In real life we would earn interest onto interest and our monthly amount would be smaller.
