Answer:

11.51% probability that the sample average will be less than 182

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we have 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 \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

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 random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, a large sample size can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 187, \sigma = 32, n = 64, s = \frac{32}{\sqrt{64}} = 4

What is the probability that the sample average will be less than 182

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 182. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

By the Central Limit Theorem

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

Z = \frac{182 - 187}{4}

Z = -1.2

Z = -1.2 has a pvalue of 0.1151

11.51% probability that the sample average will be less than 182

<h3 /><h3>permutations and combinations:</h3>

permutations and combinations, the various ways in which objects from a set may be selected, generally without replacement, to form subsets. This selection of subsets is called a permutation when the order of selection is a factor, a combination when order is not a factor. By considering the ratio of the number of desired subsets to the number of all possible subsets for many games of chance in the 17th century, the French mathematicians Blaise Pascal and Pierre de Fermat gave impetus to the development of combinatorics and probability theory.

Which of the following is an equivalent form of the compound inequality
blondinia [14]

Answer:

pls mark brainy

Step-by-step explanation:

option (d) is correct.

An equivalent form of the  given compound inequality −44 > −2x − 8 ≥ −8 is  −44 > −2x − 8 and −2x − 8 ≥ −8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a compound inequality −44 > −2x − 8 ≥ −8

We have to write  an equivalent form of compound inequality.

Compound inequality  consists of two inequalities joined together and the solution is the intersection of each inequality.

Compound inequality has two sides the left hand side and right hand side we can solve them by taking each inequality one at a time.

For given compound inequality, −44 > −2x − 8 ≥ −8

we have

Left side of inequality as  −44 > −2x − 8

and right side of inequality as  −2x − 8 ≥ −8

Thus, option (d) is correct.

Thus, An equivalent form of the  given compound inequality −44 > −2x − 8 ≥ −8 is  −44 > −2x − 8 and −2x − 8 ≥ −8
