6 0

STEP 1:
Total runners originally= 8
# of runners to receive trophies= 4

8-2 drop outs= 6 runners total now

STEP 2:
= # of trophies ÷ total runners now
= 4/6
simplify by 2
= (4÷2)/(6÷2)
= 2/3 runners

ANSWER: 2/3 of the remaining runners will win a trophy.

Hope this helps! :)

Your boss tells you that she knows the length of the widgets your company makes is normally distributed with a mean of 25 inches

sp2606 [1]

Answer:

Mean of sampling distribution = 25 inches

Standard deviation of sampling distribution = 4 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 25 inches

Standard Deviation, σ = 12 inches

Sample size, n = 9

We are given that the distribution of length of the widgets is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

a) Mean of the sampling distribution

The best approximator for the mean of the sampling distribution is the population mean itself.

Thus, we can write:

$\bar{x} = \mu = 25\text{ inches}$

b) Standard deviation of the sampling distribution

$s = \dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} = \dfrac{12}{\sqrt{9}} = 4\text{ inches}$
