Answer:

(a) X ~ N(\mu=63, \sigma^{2} = 13^{2}).

    \bar X ~ N(\mu=63,s^{2} = (\frac{13}{\sqrt{43} } )^{2}).

(b) If a single randomly selected individual is observed, the probability that this person consumes is between 61.4 mL and 62.8 mL is 0.0398.

(c) For the group of 43 pancake eaters, the probability that the average amount of syrup is between 61.4 mL and 62.8 mL is 0.2512.

(d) Yes, for part (d), the assumption that the distribution is normally distributed necessary.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the amount of syrup that people put on their pancakes is normally distributed with mean 63 mL and a standard deviation of 13 mL.

Suppose that 43 randomly selected people are observed pouring syrup on their pancakes.

(a) Let X = <u><em>amount of syrup that people put on their pancakes</em></u>

The z-score probability distribution for the normal distribution is given by;

                      Z  =  \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}  ~ N(0,1)

where, \mu = mean amount of syrup = 63 mL

            \sigma = standard deviation = 13 mL

So, the distribution of X ~ N(\mu=63, \sigma^{2} = 13^{2}).

Let \bar X = <u><em>sample mean amount of syrup that people put on their pancakes</em></u>

The z-score probability distribution for the sample mean is given by;

                      Z  =  \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }  ~ N(0,1)

where, \mu = mean amount of syrup = 63 mL

            \sigma = standard deviation = 13 mL

            n = sample of people = 43

So, the distribution of \bar X ~ N(\mu=63,s^{2} = (\frac{13}{\sqrt{43} } )^{2}).

(b) If a single randomly selected individual is observed, the probability that this person consumes is between 61.4 mL and 62.8 mL is given by = P(61.4 mL < X < 62.8 mL)

   P(61.4 mL < X < 62.8 mL) = P(X < 62.8 mL) - P(X \leq 61.4 mL)

  P(X < 62.8 mL) = P( \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} < \frac{62.8-63}{13} ) = P(Z < -0.02) = 1 - P(Z \leq 0.02)

                                                           = 1 - 0.50798 = 0.49202

  P(X \leq 61.4 mL) = P( \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} \leq \frac{61.4-63}{13} ) = P(Z \leq -0.12) = 1 - P(Z < 0.12)

                                                           = 1 - 0.54776 = 0.45224

Therefore, P(61.4 mL < X < 62.8 mL) = 0.49202 - 0.45224 = 0.0398.

(c) For the group of 43 pancake eaters, the probability that the average amount of syrup is between 61.4 mL and 62.8 mL is given by = P(61.4 mL < \bar X < 62.8 mL)

   P(61.4 mL < \bar X < 62.8 mL) = P(\bar X < 62.8 mL) - P(\bar X \leq 61.4 mL)

  P(\bar X < 62.8 mL) = P( \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } < \frac{62.8-63}{\frac{13}{\sqrt{43} } } ) = P(Z < -0.10) = 1 - P(Z \leq 0.10)

                                                           = 1 - 0.53983 = 0.46017

  P(\bar X \leq 61.4 mL) = P( \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } \leq \frac{61.4-63}{\frac{13}{\sqrt{43} } } ) = P(Z \leq -0.81) = 1 - P(Z < 0.81)

                                                           = 1 - 0.79103 = 0.20897

Therefore, P(61.4 mL < X < 62.8 mL) = 0.46017 - 0.20897 = 0.2512.

(d) Yes, for part (d), the assumption that the distribution is normally distributed necessary.

Write an equation of the line through (6,-5) having slope 0. Give the answer in standard form.
allsm [11]

0x + 1y = -5 is the standard form of equation

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that we have to write the equation of line passing thorugh (6, -5) and has slope 0

<em><u>The equation of line in slope intercept form is given as:</u></em>

y = mx + c ---------- eqn 1

Where, "m" is the slope of line and "c" is the y - intercept

Given that, m = 0

Given point is (6, -5)

<em><u>To find the y - intercept:</u></em>

<em><u>Substitute (x, y) = (6, -5) and m = 0 in eqn 1</u></em>

-5 = 0(6) + c

c = -5

<em><u>Substitute c = -5 and m = 0 in eqn 1</u></em>

y = 0x + (-5)

y = -5

<em><u>The standard form of equation is given as:</u></em>

The standard form of an equation is Ax + By = C

In this kind of equation, x and y are variables and A, B, and C are integers

y = -5

0x + 1y = -5 is the standard form of equation

Solve the variable<br>Show ALL steps.<br>-25 + x = 37​
vodomira [7]

Answer:

x=62

Step-by-step explanation:

1. add + 25 to both sides because when you have a negative you have to add.

2.  When you add 25 to 37 you get 62.

therefore 62 is the answer
