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.

Angle psr measures 99°. what is the measure of psq in degrees?
Snezhnost [94]
Assuming that point s is the vertex of the angle and that line sq is between angle psr. We can get the correct measurement of angle psq by subtracting 99 degrees with the measurement of the angle made by qsr. Hope this helps. Have a nice day.

CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN AND MAYBE SHOW ME STEP BY STEP WHY THE ANSWER IS 75degrees. HURRY 50 points and brainiest!!!
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

75 degrees, we know that already so look below lol.

Step-by-step explanation:

This triangle is an isosceles triangle, LP is equivalent to LQ, and angles LQP and LPQ are also equivalent. We understand that PLQ is equal to 30 degrees, since its complementary to triangle LQM.

180 - 30 = 150

150/2 = 75.
