Answer:
μ= 65 inches; σ= 0.625 inch
Step-by-step explanation:
The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed(bell-shaped) random variable X, with mean
and standard deviation
, the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean
and standard deviation
.
For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.
In this problem, we have that:

By the central limit theorem, the sample of 16 will have:

So the correct answer is:
μ= 65 inches; σ= 0.625 inch
Answer:
The width is 4
Step-by-step explanation:
If the length is 6 feet, minus 2 will be 4. Six times 4 is 24, which is the area of the afghan rug. We are multiplying 6 and 4 because it is length times width in rectangle area.
Answer: 0.0000805
Step-by-step explanation:
You move the decimal 5 places to the left of 8.05.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A 2nd order polynomial such as this one will have 2 roots; a 3rd order polynomial 3 roots, and so on.
The quadratic formula is one of the faster ways (in this situation, at least) in which to find the roots. From 2x^2 + 4x + 7 we get a = 2, b = 4 and c = 7.
Then the discriminant is b^2 - 4ac, or, here, 4^2 - 4(2)(7), or -40. Because the discriminant is negative, we know that the roots will be complex and unequal.
Using the quadratic formula:
-4 ±√[-40] -4 ± 2i√10
x = ------------------ = ------------------
4 4
-2 ± i√10
Thus, the roots are x = ------------------
2
The y-intercept, in this case, represents when x is at 0, or when she just began observing.
