The annual precipitation amounts in a certain mountain range are normally distributed with a mean of 104 inches, and a standard

deviation of 14 inches. What is the probability that the mean annual precipitation during 49 randomly picked years will be less than 106.8 inches

Answer:

91.92% probability that the mean annual precipitation during 49 randomly picked years will be less than 106.8 inches

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 \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, the sample means with size n of at least 30 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 = 104, \sigma = 14, n = 49, s = \frac{14}{\sqrt{49}} = 2

What is the probability that the mean annual precipitation during 49 randomly picked years will be less than 106.8 inches

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 106.8. So

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

Z = \frac{106.8 - 104}{2}

Z = 1.4

Z = 1.4 has a pvalue of 0.9192

0.9192 = 91.92% probability that the mean annual precipitation during 49 randomly picked years will be less than 106.8 inches

What are the focus and directrix of the parabola that is the graph of the function f(x)=x²?
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

y=x^2

comparing it with standard equation x^2=4ay

so 4a=1

a=\frac{1}{4}

so Focus of parabola is (0,0)

directrix

y=-a

here a=\frac{1}{4}

y=-\frac{1}{4}

Answer:

no

Step-by-step explanation:

From left to right, follow the dots in line 1 with your finger. Count a steady beat out loud, and time your motion so your finger crosses a dot at the end of each beat. Don’t pause at the dots, and move as smoothly as you can. A good way to count is to say or think “1 Mississippi, 2 Mississippi,” and so on. Is your finger moving at a constant rate, or is the rate changing?

astra-53 [7]

Answer:

C = 2\pi r

C = \pi d

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

A circular ring

Required

The length

Let

r \to the radius of the ring

The length is calculated by calculating the circumference of the ring.

This is calculated using:

C = 2\pi r

or

C = \pi d

Where

d \to diameter

and d = 2r
