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).

The cost of renting a bus for a field trip was split evenly among 20 students. At the last minute, 10 more students joined the t
dexar [7]

By solving a linear equation, we will see that the total cost for renting the bus is $90.

<h3>What was the total cost of renting the bus, in dollars?</h3>

Let's say that the total cost is C.

When there are 20 students, each student should pay:

p = C/20

When the other 10 students are added (for a total of 30) each student pays:

p' = C/30.

We know that the cost for each of the original 20 students decreased by $1.50, so:

p' = p - $1.50

Then we have 3 equations to work with:

p = C/20

p' = C/30.

p' = p - $1.50

Now we can replace the first and second equations into the third one:

C/30 = C/20 - $1.50

Now we can solve this linear equation for C:

C/20 - C/30 = $1.50

C*( 1/20 - 1/30) = $1.50

C*(30/600 - 20/600) = $1.50

C*(10/600) = $1.50

C*(1/60) = $1.50

C = 60*$1.50 = $90

So the total cost for renting the bus is $90.
