A population has a mean of 300 and a standard deviation of 70. Suppose a sample of size 125 is selected and is used to estimate

. Use z-table. What is the probability that the sample mean will be within +/- 8 of the population mean (to 4 decimals)? (Round z value in intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.) What is the probability that the sample mean will be within +/- 17 of the population mean (to 4 decimals)? (Round z value in intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.)

Answer:

a:  0.8884

b: 0.9934

Step-by-step explanation:

We have µ = 300 and σ = 70.  The sample size, n = 125.  

For the sample to be within 8 units of the population mean, we would have sample values of 292 and 308, so we want to find:

P(292 < x < 308).

We need to find the z-scores that correspond to these values using the given data.  See attached photo 1 for the calculation of these scores.

We have P(292 < x < 308) = 0.8884

Next we want the probability of the sample mean to be within 17 units of the population mean, so we want the values from 283 to 317.  We want to find

P(283 < x < 317)

We need to find the z-scores that correspond to these values.  See photo 2 for the calculation of these scores.

We have P(283 < x < 317) = 0.9934

Prove the following relations: 1) (1 - cos²A) (1 + tan²A) = tan²A​
JulsSmile [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

(1 - cos²A)(1 + tan²A) = tan²A

1 + tan²A - cos²A - cos²A · tan²A = tan²A

1 + tan²A(1 - cos²A) - cos²A = tan²A

1 - cos²A + tan²A(sin²A) = tan²A

sin²A + tan²A(sin²A) = tan²A

sin²A (1 + tan²A) = tan²A

sin²A (sec²A) = tan²A

sin²A (1/cos²A) = tan²A

(sin²A)/(cos²A) = tan²A

tan²A = tan²A → <u>Proved</u>

Find the value if x
Fantom [35]

Answer:

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

AS m//n

so

4x - 13 = x + 8 (being corresponding angles)

4x - x = 8 + 13

3x = 21

x = 21/3

therefore x = 7

Hope it will be helpful:)

What is the absolute value of a number ?
stepladder [879]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The absolute value (or modulus) | x | of a real number x is the non-negative value of x without regard to its sign. For example, the absolute value of 5 is 5, and the absolute value of −5 is also 5. The absolute value of a number may be thought of as its distance from zero along real number line.
