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.

dalvyx [7]
Y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
 y - 3 = -2¹/₄(x - 4)
 y - 3 = -2¹/₄(x) + 2¹/₄(4)
 y - 3 = -2¹/₄x - 9
   + 3            + 3
       y = -2¹/₄x - 6

Factor out the coefficient of the variable 1/2d+6
IrinaK [193]
Factoring out the 1/2 (that is the coefficient of the variable) would require you to divide the equation by one half, which is the same as multiplying by two. After doing this, the answer can be expressed as:

1/2 (d+12)
