Answer:
35.2% probability that the sample mean will be 246 pages or more
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.
Normal probability distribution
Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean and standard deviation
, the zscore of a measure X is given by:
The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
Central Limit Theorem
The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean and standard deviation
, the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean
and standard deviation
.
For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.
In this question, we have that:
What the probability that the sample mean will be 246 pages or more?
This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 246. So
By the Central Limit Theorem
has a pvalue of 0.6480.
1 - 0.6480 = 0.3520
35.2% probability that the sample mean will be 246 pages or more
Answer:
B. False
Step-by-step explanation:
According to pythagorean theorem, for this to be a right triangle, the sum of square of the length of the two legs must equal square of the length of the hypotenuse (longest side).
So should equal
- <em>We also know that
</em>
Hence, , and
They ARE NOT EQUAL, so the triangle is NOT a right triangle.
