For women aged 19-24, systolic blood pressures (in mm Hg) are normally distributed with a mean of 114.8 and a standard deviation

of 13.1. Find the probability that 23 randomly selected women aged 19-24 have a mean systolic blood pressure greater than 121.5. Round your answer to 4 decimal places.

Answer: p = 0.00714

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the population standard deviation of the distribution is known, the z test ( which produces the z score) is the perfect test for finding the probability of the data set in the question.

From the question,

Population mean (u) = 114.8

Sample mean (x) = 121.5

Population standard deviation (σ) = 13.1

Sample size (n) = 23

The z score formulae is given below as

Z = x - u/σ/√n

Z = 121.5 - 114.8/(13.1/√23)

Z = 6.7/(13.1/√23)

Z = 6.7/2.731

Z = 2.45.

The question is interested in knowing the probability of mean systolic blood pressure greater than 121.5.

This implies that we are looking for the probability at which our z score is greater than 2.45: P(z>2.45)

The z score (z=2.45) has divided the distribution into two regions, z< 2.45 ( area to the left of the distribution) and z>2.45 ( area to the right of distribution).

Hence, p(z>2.45) + p(z<2.45) = 1

To get a the probability, we have to use a standard normal distribution table.

The table we have here gives probability of the distribution to the left ( that's area towards the left), hence we need to find p(z<2.45) first

From the table p(z<2.45) = 0.99286

But p(z>2.45) = 1 - p(z<2.45)

p(z>2.45) = 1 - 0.99286

p(z>2.45) = 0.00714

Evaluate the expressions and match them to the integers.
alexira [117]

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

-7(6) = -42

-1(-10) = 10

2(-5) = -10

-3(-14) = 42

-32/-4 = 8

-2(-2)(-2) = -8

A coin is tossed 6 times. what is the probability that the number of heads obtained will be 2? express your answer as a fraction
Valentin [98]
For this you will have to make a tree diagram
it will be so much easier although there is a way to do it

probability of getting heads is = 1/2 there for 10 tosses its (1/20)^10

Answer:

$2.35 for one video

Step-by-step explanation:

You set up two equations:

$7.50= p + 2v

$12.20= p + 4v

You then set both equal to p

p=-4v+12.20 and p=-2v+7.50

So you can set them equal to each other and solve for v (the cost of one video)

v= $2.35
