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

Sarah used her calculator to work out the value of a number y .
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

7.75 \: \leqslant y \:  <  \: 7.85

Step-by-step explanation:

The calculator approximated the value of y at 7.8.

We need to complete the error interval for y.

In other words, we calculate the upper and lower bound for y.

The level level of accuracy is to the nearest tenth.

To find the lower bound, we subtract half the degree of accuracy to get:

y \geqslant 7.8 - 0.05  \\ y  \geqslant 7.75

To find the upper bound, add half the level of accuracy to get:

y \:  <  \: 7.8 + 0.05 \\ y \:  <  \: 7.85

Therefore the error interval is

7.75 \: \leqslant y \:  <  \: 7.85

If the Internet consisted of four computers, there would be six possible connections. If it consisted of five computers, there w
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

<em>45 possible connections</em>

<em />

Step-by-step explanation:

The general equation for finding the possible number of connections in a network is given as

\frac{n*(n - 1)}{2}

where n is the number of computers on the network.

for 4 computers, we'll have

\frac{4*(4 - 1)}{2} = \frac{4*3}{2} = 6

for 5 computers, we'll have

\frac{5*(5 - 1)}{2} = \frac{5*4}{2} = 10.

therefore, for 10 computers, we will have

\frac{10*(10 - 1)}{2} = \frac{10*9}{2} = <em>45 possible connections</em>

<h3>Answer: 24 (choice C)</h3>

Assuming M is a midpoint of KW, this means that WM and KM are congruent

WM = KM

x+3 = 2(x-3) ... substitution

x+3 = 2x-6

2x-6 = x+3

2x-6-x = x+3-x .... subtract x from both sides

x-6 = 3

x-6+6 = 3+6 ... add 6 to both sides

x = 9

Use x = 9 to find the length of WM

WM = x+3 = 9+3 = 12

Which can be used to find the length of KM as well

KM = 2(x-3) = 2(9-3) = 2(6) = 12

both lengths are the same (12) as expected

This makes WK to be

WK = WM + KM

WK = 12 + 12

WK = 24
