In multiplication, a negative times a positive has a negative answer. if both are positive or both are negative, the answer is positive.
5 * -5 = -25
-5* -5 = 25

in divisions say you have
-5/5 = -1
-5/-5= 1
5/-5= -1

in addition and subtraction, subtracting a negative means to add the two numbers. adding a negative means to subtract the second number.

5+ (-5) = 0
5- (-5) = 10

A sample size 25 is picked up at random from a population which is normally

Answer:

a) P(X < 99) = 0.2033.

b) P(98 < X < 100) = 0.4525

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 z-score 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 p-value, 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 $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .
