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

Answer:

REQUIRED TEST STATICS IS 35.19

Step-by-step explanation:

total size of sample = 10,000

                                     men                            women

voted                           2777                            3466

did not vote                  1444                             2313

By chi square test we can find the relationship between gender and participation in the election

<em>X^2 = \frac{ N(ad-bc)^2}{(a+c)(b+d)+(a+b)(c+d)}</em>

where

a represent  = 2777, b = 3466, c= 1444, d = 2313, N = 10000

Putting values to get chis square statics

<em>X^2 = \frac{ 10000(2777*2313-3466*1444)^2}{(2777+1444)(3466+2313)+(2777+3466)(1444+2313)}</em>

<em>X^2 = = 35.159</em>

FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

34.98+51.02+51.22= 137.22 as a positive number. 5.23+10.22+7.89= 23.34 Then 137.22-23.34= 113.88

So the negative number will be -23.34
