Answer:

The correct option is (a).

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Central Limit Theorem if we have a population with mean μ and standard deviation σ and take appropriately huge random-samples (n > 30) from the population with replacement, then the distribution of the sample- means will be approximately normally-distributed.

Then, the mean of the sample means is given by,

\mu_{\bar x}=\mu

And the standard deviation of the sample means is given by,

\sigma_{\bar x}=\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

The information provided is:

<em>n</em> = 200

<em>σ</em> = 19.0

Population is skewed.

As the sample selected is quite large, i.e. <em>n</em> = 200 > 30 the central limit theorem can be used to approximate the distribution of the sample mean by the normal distribution.

So, \bar X\sim N(\mu, \frac{\sigma^{2}}{n}).

Then to construct a confidence interval for mean we will use a <em>z</em>-interval.

And for 95% confidence level we will compute the critical value of <em>z</em>, i.e. z_{\alpha/2}.

Thus, the correct option is (a).

olga_2 [115]
The remainder is 1-5/8-1/4=8/8-5/8-2/8=1/8.
If the quantity of dressing was 24oz, then there would be 15oz of olive oil, 6oz of vinegar and 3oz of mixture, consisting of 1oz each of salt, pepper and sugar.
If the vinegar doubles we have 12oz of vinegar. The quantity of ingredients is 15oz of olive oil, 12oz of vinegar, and 2oz of mixture (no sugar) making 29oz altogether. The proportion of olive oil is therefore 15/29.

Which choice is equivalent to the expression below?
morpeh [17]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

As we can see, there are perfect squares in the first two expressions

thus, we have it that;

√(25x) = 5√x

√(4x) = 2√x

so we have the expression as;

5 √x - 2 √(x + 2 √x

= 5√x
