3 dozen cookies = 36 cookies

Brother ate 0.25(36) or 9 cookies.

36 - 9 = 27 cookies remain.

Sara took (1/3)(27) or 9 cookies went to her neighbor.

There are now 18 cookies of which Sara ate 4.

So, 18 - 4 = 14.

There are 14 cookies left.

A positive real number is 2 more than another. If the sum of the squares of the two numbers is 42, find the numbers.
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the first sentence x (the number) is 2 more than another number (y). So, x+2=y. The sum of the squares of the two numbers is 42, meaning that \\ (x+2)^{2}+y^{2}=42. First, we square root the ENTIRE equation to get rid of the square. If you do one thing to one side, you have to do it to the other. After this, we have x+2+y=\sqrt{42}. Now, we subtract 2 from the other side to isolate the variable. You can isolate either one but normally I go for x. Now we have x+y=\sqrt{42}+2. Now, we want to get y to the other side so we subtract it from the left side and the right side which gives us x=-y+\sqrt{42}+2. now we know what X is equal to. Now we plug in x for \\ (x+2)^{2}+y^{2}=42, which gives us          (-y+\sqrt42}+2+2)^{2}+y^{2}=42. Now we only have one variable which is what we want. Next, we square root the entire thing to get rid of the squares, which gives us -y+\sqrt{42}+4+y=\sqrt{42}. I got lost in my work. I must have done something wrong I cant find out. If anyone wants to pick up where I left off go ahead but there's a timer and I have one minute left. I cant finish the problem in a minute. I'm sorry and hopefully I lead you somewhere.

Find the value of x if b=8 and a=6
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the Pythagorean theorem:

8² + 6² = x²

64 + 36 = x²

x² = 100

x = 10

Answer:

a) 99% of the sample means will fall between 0.933 and 0.941.

b) By the Central Limit Theorem, approximately normal, with mean 0.937 and standard deviation 0.0015.

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 normal distributions can be 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 normally distributed random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

(a) If the true mean is 0.9370 with a standard deviation of 0.0090 within what interval will 99% of the sample means fail?

Samples of 34 means that n = 34

We have that \mu = 0.937, \sigma = 0.009

By the Central Limit Theorem, s = \frac{0.009}{\sqrt{34}} = 0.0015

Within what interval will 99% of the sample means fail?

Between the (100-99)/2 = 0.5th percentile and the (100+99)/2 = 99.5th percentile.

0.5th percentile:

X when Z has a pvalue of 0.005. So X when Z = -2.575.

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

-2.575 = \frac{X - 0.937}{0.0015}

X - 0.937 = -2.575*0.0015

X = 0.933

99.5th percentile:

X when Z has a pvalue of 0.995. So X when Z = 2.575.

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

2.575 = \frac{X - 0.937}{0.0015}

X - 0.937 = 2.575*0.0015

X = 0.941

99% of the sample means will fall between 0.933 and 0.941.

(b) If the true mean 0.9370 with a standard deviation of 0.0090, what is the sampling distribution of ¯X?

By the Central Limit Theorem, approximately normal, with mean 0.937 and standard deviation 0.0015.
