X = longest side , y = middle side , z = shortest side 

P = x + y + z
P = 82
x = 2z + 7
y = z + 15

82 = (2z + 7) + (z + 15) + z...combine like terms
82 = 4z + 22
82 - 22 = 4z
60 = 4z
60/4 = z
15 = z

so the shortest side (z) is 15 cm
the second side (y) is : z + 15......15 + 15 = 30 cm
and the longest side (x) is : 2z + 7.....2(15) + 7 = 37 cm

Help asap please:<br><br> Solve x-7y=16 for y
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

y = (x-16)/7

Step-by-step explanation:

x - 7y = 16

~Subtract x to both sides

-7y = 16 - x

~Divide -7 to everything

y = (16-x)/7

Best of Luck!

A population has a mean of 200 and a standard deviation of 50. Suppose a sample of size 100 is selected and x is used to estimat
zmey [24]

Answer:

a) 0.6426 = 64.26% probability that the sample mean will be within +/- 5 of the population mean.

b) 0.9544 = 95.44% probability that the sample mean will be within +/- 10 of the population mean.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution

When the distribution is normal, we use 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.

In this question, we have that:

\mu = 200, \sigma = 50, n = 100, s = \frac{50}{\sqrt{100}} = 5

a. What is the probability that the sample mean will be within +/- 5 of the population mean (to 4 decimals)?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 200 + 5 = 205 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 200 - 5 = 195.

Due to the Central Limit Theorem, Z is:

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

X = 205

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

Z = \frac{205 - 200}{5}

Z = 1

Z = 1 has a pvalue of 0.8413.

X = 195

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

Z = \frac{195 - 200}{5}

Z = -1

Z = -1 has a pvalue of 0.1587.

0.8413 - 0.1587 = 0.6426

0.6426 = 64.26% probability that the sample mean will be within +/- 5 of the population mean.

b. What is the probability that the sample mean will be within +/- 10 of the population mean (to 4 decimals)?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 210 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 190.

X = 210

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

Z = \frac{210 - 200}{5}

Z = 2

Z = 2 has a pvalue of 0.9772.

X = 195

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

Z = \frac{190 - 200}{5}

Z = -2

Z = -2 has a pvalue of 0.0228.

0.9772 - 0.0228 = 0.9544

0.9544 = 95.44% probability that the sample mean will be within +/- 10 of the population mean.
