True or False: The amount of time it takes to complete an examination has a left skewed distribution with a mean of 65 minutes a

nd a standard deviation of 8 minutes. If 64 students were randomly sampled, the probability that the sample mean of the sampled students exceeds 71 minutes is approximately 0.

Answer:

True

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 = 65, \sigma = 8, n = 64, s = \frac{8}{\sqrt{64}} = 1

If 64 students were randomly sampled, the probability that the sample mean of the sampled students exceeds 71 minutes is approximately 0.

This probability is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 71. So

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

Z = \frac{71 - 65}{1}

Z = 6

Z = 6 has a pvalue very close to 1.

1 - 1 = 0.

So approximately 0 probability that the sample mean of the sampled students exceeds 71 minutes.

The answer is true.

Answer:

1) n = 84

2) n = 78

3) n = 24

4) n = 16

5) n = 35

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve each proportion, we apply cross multiplication.

Question 1:

\frac{5}{12} = \frac{35}{n}

5n = 35*12

Simplifying both sides by 5

n = 7*12 = 84

Question 2:

\frac{n}{52} = \frac{180}{120}

120n = 52*180

Simplifying both sides by 20

6n = 52*9

Simplifying by 3

2n = 52*3

Simplifying by 2

n = 26*3 = 78

Question 3:

\frac{18}{n} = \frac{21}{28}

21n = 18*28

Simplifying both sides by 7

3n = 18*4

Simplifying both sides by 3

n = 6*4 = 24

Question 4:

\frac{n}{4} = \frac{24}{6}

\frac{n}{4} = 4

n = 16

Question 5:

\frac{10}{16} = \frac{n}{56}

16n = 56*10

Simplifying by 2, both sides

8n = 56*5

Simplifying by 8, both sides

n = 7*5 = 35
