Answer:

a) \mu_{\bar X} =13.35

e.none of the above

b) \sigma_{\bar X}= \frac{0.12}{\sqrt{36}}= 0.02

a.0.0200

c) z = \frac{13.32-13.35}{\frac{0.12}{\sqrt{36}}}= -1.5

P(\bar X< 13.32)= P(z

a.0.0668

d) z = \frac{13.30-13.35}{\frac{0.12}{\sqrt{36}}}= -2.5

z = \frac{13.36-13.35}{\frac{0.12}{\sqrt{36}}}= 0.5

P(13.30

c.0.6853

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

The central limit theorem states that "if we have a population with mean μ and standard deviation σ and take sufficiently large random samples from the population with replacement, then the distribution of the sample means will be approximately normally distributed. This will hold true regardless of whether the source population is normal or skewed, provided the sample size is sufficiently large".

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the weights of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(13.35,0.12)  

Where \mu=13.35 and \sigma=0.12

From the central limit theorem we know that the distribution for the sample mean \bar X is given by:

\bar X \sim N(\mu, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})

Part a

\mu_{\bar X} =13.35

Part b

\sigma_{\bar X}= \frac{0.12}{\sqrt{36}}= 0.02

Part c

We want this probability:

P(\bar X< 13.32)

For this case we can use the z score formula given by:

z = \frac{\bar X -\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

And using this formula we got:

z = \frac{13.32-13.35}{\frac{0.12}{\sqrt{36}}}= -1.5

P(\bar X< 13.32)= P(z

Part d

We want this probability:

P(13.30

For this case we can use the z score formula given by:

z = \frac{\bar X -\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

And using this formula we got:

z = \frac{13.30-13.35}{\frac{0.12}{\sqrt{36}}}= -2.5

z = \frac{13.36-13.35}{\frac{0.12}{\sqrt{36}}}= 0.5

P(13.30

Write an equation of the line that passes through (2, -5) and is parallel to the line 2y = 3x + 10
Zarrin [17]

First you get "y" by itself. To do so you divide 2 on both sides.

y = 3/2x + 5

To write an equation of a line that is PARALLEL to this equation, the slopes have to be the SAME. So the slope is 3/2.

You then use the equation:

y = mx + b

SInce you know "m" you plug it in.

y = 3/2x + b

Now you need to find b. To do so you plug in the point (2, -5) into this equation.

-5 = 3/2(2) + b

-5 = 3 + b

-8 = b

Finally you plug in b and you get your new equation.

y = 3/2x - 8

A traveler traveled for 6 hours and covered a distance of 520 km. He traveled the first 260 km by car, and the rest of the way b
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

57.78 km/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Total time taken, t = 6 hours

Total distance covered, d = 520 km

Distance by car = 260

Distance by train = 520 - 260 = 260 km

Train speed = x

Car speed = 2x

Average speed speed = 3x /2

Speed = distance / time

1.5x = 520 / 6

9x = 520

x = 520 / 9

x = 57.777

Average speed of train = 57.78 km/hr
