The operation manager at a tire manufacturing company believes that the mean mileage of a tire is 48,564 miles, with a standard

deviation of 3293 miles. What is the probability that the sample mean would be less than 48,101 miles in a sample of 281 tires if the manager is correct? Round your answer to four decimal places.

Answer:

0.0091 = 0.91% probability that the sample mean would be less than 48,101 miles in a sample of 281 tires if the manager is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

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.

Central limit theorem:

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the sample means with size n of at least 30 can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 48564, \sigma = 3293, n = 281, s = \frac{3293}{\sqrt{281}} = 196.44

What is the probability that the sample mean would be less than 48,101 miles in a sample of 281 tires if the manager is correct?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 48101. So

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

Z = \frac{48101 - 48564}{196.44}

Z = -2.36

Z = -2.36 has a pvalue of 0.0091

0.0091 = 0.91% probability that the sample mean would be less than 48,101 miles in a sample of 281 tires if the manager is correct

What is the slope of the line that passes through the point (-9,8) and (-3-1)?
natulia [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(x₁, y₁) = (-9 ,8)   and (x₂ , y₂) = (-3 , -1)

Slope = \dfrac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}\\\\=\dfrac{-1-8}{-3-[-9]}\\\\=\dfrac{-9}{-3+9}\\\\=\dfrac{-9}{6}\\\\=\dfrac{-3}{2}

Plz help me with this
goldenfox [79]
Area of triangle=1/2(base×height)
360=1/2((4x-2)(7x+5))
720=(4x-2)(7x+5)
FOIL the binomial
720=28x^2+6x-10
Bring 720 to the other side
28x^2+6x-10-720=0
28x^2+6x-730=0
Factor 2 out
2(14x^2+3x-365)=0
Factor 2(14x+73)(x-5)=0
x-5=0
x=5
It can't be 14x-73=0 because the length can't be negative.
You're welcome.
