It appears that people who are mildly obese are less active than leaner people. One study looked at the average number of minute

s per day that people spend standing or walking. among mildly obese people, the mean number of minutes of daily activity (standing or Walking) is approximately Normally distributed with the mean 373 minutes and standard deviation 67 minutes. the mean number of minutes of daily activity for lean people is approximately Normally distributed with mean 526 minutes and standard deviation 107 minutes. A researcher records the minutes of activity for an SRS of 5 mildly obese people and an SRS of 5 lean people.
A) What is the probability that the mean number of minutes of daily activity of the 5 mildly obese people exceeds 420 minutes?
B) What is the probability that the mean number of minutes of daily activity of the 5 lean people exceeds 420 minutes?

Answer:

a) 10.93% probability that the mean number of minutes of daily activity of the 5 mildly obese people exceeds 420 minutes.

b) 99.22% probability that the mean number of minutes of daily activity of the 5 lean people exceeds 420 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, a large sample size can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples can be 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.

Mildly obese

Normally distributed with mean 373 minutes and standard deviation 67 minutes. So \mu = 373, \sigma = 67

A) What is the probability that the mean number of minutes of daily activity of the 5 mildly obese people exceeds 420 minutes?

So n = 5, s = \frac{67}{\sqrt{5}} = 29.96

This probability is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 410.

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

Z = \frac{410 - 373}{29.96}

Z = 1.23

Z = 1.23 has a pvalue of 0.8907.

So there is a 1-0.8907 = 0.1093 = 10.93% probability that the mean number of minutes of daily activity of the 5 mildly obese people exceeds 420 minutes.

Lean

Normally distributed with mean 526 minutes and standard deviation 107 minutes. So \mu = 526, \sigma = 107

B) What is the probability that the mean number of minutes of daily activity of the 5 lean people exceeds 420 minutes?

So n = 5, s = \frac{107}{\sqrt{5}} = 47.86

This probability is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 410.

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

Z = \frac{410 - 526}{47.86}

Z = -2.42

Z = -2.42 has a pvalue of 0.0078.

So there is a 1-0.0078 = 0.9922 = 99.22% probability that the mean number of minutes of daily activity of the 5 lean people exceeds 420 minutes.

What is 35 percent of 70
11111nata11111 [884]
35 Percent of 70 is 24.5
We assume, that the number 70 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for. If 70 is 100%, so we can write it down as 70=100%. We know, that x is 35% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=35%. <span>Now we have two simple equations: 1.)70=100% 2.)x=35%</span>where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that: 70/x=100%/35% Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

Steve picks 55 pounds of pears. He packs an equal amount of pears into 6 bags. He then has 4 pounds of pears left. What is the w
Serggg [28]
Because he has 4 pounds of apples left, you are to subtract that from the total pounds picked, which was a total of 55 pounds. So 55 with 4 taken away, or 55 - 4, equals 51. Since he had equally put 51 pounds into six bags, you are to then divide . 51 / 6 = 8.5. He had put 8.5 pounds worth of apples into each bag.
