Answer:

a) Mean is 12.9

b) Standard Error

i) n = 16, Standard Error = 1

The shape of the sampling distribution means is not normal

ii) n = 49 , Standard Error = 0.5714285714

The shape of the sampling distribution means is normal

iii) n = 121, Standard Error = 0.3636363636

The shape of the sampling distribution means is normal

c)Describe the pattern as n increases

As the number of random samples(n) increases the value for the standard error decreases

Step-by-step explanation:

Central Limit Theorem states that

if the sample size is large (generally n ≥ 30), and the standard deviation of the population is finite, then the distribution of sample means will be approximately normal.

a) 16 residents

Mean = 12.9

Standard Error = Standard Deviation /√n

= 4/√16

= 4/4

= 1

n < 30, hence, The shape of the sampling distribution means is not normal

b) 49 residents

= Mean = 12.9

Standard Error = Standard Deviation /√n

= 4/√49

= 4/7

= 0.5714285714

n > 30, hence, The shape of the sampling distribution means is normal

c) 121 residents

Mean = 12.9

Standard Error = Standard Deviation /√n

= 4/√121

= 4/11

= 0.3636363636

n > 30, hence, The shape of the sampling distribution means is normal

Describe the pattern as n increases

As the number of random samples(n) increases the value for the standard error decreases

The sum of two positive integers is 67. When the smaller integer is subtracted from twice the larger, the result is 38. Find the
bixtya [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y = 67

2x-y = 38

Add the equations together

3x = 108

x = 36

y = 67-x = 31

George the Pigeon travels the same distance of 72 miles
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

The speed of George the Pigeon in still air = 21 miles/hr

The speed of air = 3 miles/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed of George the Pigeon in still air = u miles/hr

Let the speed of air = v miles/hr

Distance traveled = 72 miles

Relative speed against the wind = (u-v) miles/hr

Time taken against the wind = 4 hours

Relative speed with the wind = (u+v) miles/hr

Time taken against the wind = 3 hours

Using the formula:

Speed = \dfrac{Distance}{Time}

u-v=\dfrac{72}{4}\\\Rightarrow u-v=18 ..... (1)

u+v=\dfrac{72}{3}\\\Rightarrow u+v=24 ..... (2)

Adding (1) and (2):

2u=42\\\Rightarrow u = 21\ miles/hr

By equation (1):

v = 21-18\\\Rightarrow v = 3\ miles/hr

Therefore, the answer is:

The speed of George the Pigeon in still air = 21 miles/hr

The speed of air = 3 miles/hr
