Answer:

the probability that the sample mean will be larger than 1224 is  0.0082

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

The SAT scores have an average of 1200

with a  standard deviation of 60

also; a sample of 36 scores is selected

The objective is to determine  the probability that the sample mean will be larger than 1224

Assuming X to be the random variable that represents the SAT score of each student.

This implies that  ;

S \sim N ( 1200,60)

the probability that the sample mean will be larger than 1224 will now be:

P(\overline X > 1224) = P(\dfrac{\overline X - \mu }{\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} }> \dfrac{}{}\dfrac{1224- \mu }{\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} })

P(\overline X > 1224) = P(Z > \dfrac{1224- 1200 }{\dfrac{60}{\sqrt{36}} })

P(\overline X > 1224) = P(Z > \dfrac{24 }{\dfrac{60}{6} })

P(\overline X > 1224) = P(Z > \dfrac{24 }{10} })

P(\overline X > 1224) = P(Z > 2.4 })

P(\overline X > 1224) =1 -  P(Z \leq 2.4 })

From Excel Table ; Using the formula (=NORMDIST(2.4))

P(\overline X > 1224) = 1 -  0.9918

P(\overline X > 1224) = 0.0082

Hence;  the probability that the sample mean will be larger than 1224 is  0.0082

Hi guys . pls help me with this​

Step-by-step explanation:

The upstream speed is S / t₁, and the downstream speed is S / t₂.

If we say f is the speed of the fish in calm water, and r is the speed of the river, then:

f − r = S / t₁

f + r = S / t₂

If we say T is the time it takes to cross the river, then the speed perpendicular to the river is ℓ/T, the speed parallel to the river is r, and the overall speed is f.

Using Pythagorean theorem:

f² = (ℓ/T)² + r²

f² − r² = (ℓ/T)²

(f − r) (f + r) = (ℓ/T)²

(S / t₁) (S / t₂) = (ℓ/T)²

S² / (t₁ t₂) = (ℓ/T)²

(t₁ t₂) / S² = (T/ℓ)²

√(t₁ t₂) / S = T/ℓ

T = ℓ√(t₁ t₂) / S

to practice for an Ironman competition John swim 0.86 kilometers each day for three weeks how many meters did he swim in those 3
NARA [144]
1 kilometers =1000 meters
0.86km=0.86*1000=860m
John swam 860 meters each day.
1 week = 7 days
3weeks=3*7=21
21*860=18060 m
Therefore he swam 18060 meters in those three weeks.

Francesca is painting a picture of the purple flowers in her garden. She mixes paint to make the perfect color for each type of
aniked [119]

Find total ounces mixed for each flower:

Daisies = 2+5 = 7 ounces

Tulips = 3 +6 = 9 ounces

Now find the ratio of purple to white for each one:

Daisies = 5/7 = 0.714

Tulips = 6/9 = 0.666

Daisies have more purple so would be the darker ones.
