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

How would I categorize numbers? For example, what category would √23 fit into? Thankssss
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

  positive, real, irrational, algebraic

Step-by-step explanation:

Numbers are categorized various ways. Some categories include ...

  prime, composite

  real, complex

  integer, rational, irrational

  whole number, natural number

  positive, negative, zero

  algebraic, non-algebraic*

√23 is the positive, real, irrational root of a prime number. It is an algebraic number.

_____

* An algebraic number is a root of a polynomial with integer coefficients.

√23 is a root of x^2 -23 = 0.

Why is a the y-intercept of the graph of the function y=ab^x
8090 [49]
The y-intercept occurs on a graph when x = 0. Therefore on a graph of y= ab^x when x = 0, y = ab^0 = 1. Therefore the y-intercept is at the point (0,1).
Hope this helps!

Find all the values of k so that the given points are 29 square units apart. (-5, 5) and (k,0).
Varvara68 [4.7K]
Distance formula between 2 points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2)

D=\sqrt{(x1-x2)^{2}+(y1-y2)^{2}}

D=29 and one point is (-5,5) and the other is (k,0)
sub

29=\sqrt{(-5-k)^{2}+(5-0)^{2}}
29=\sqrt{(-5-k)^{2}+(5)^{2}}
square both sides
841=(-5-k)^{2}+(5)^{2}
841=(-5-k)^{2}+25
minus 25 both sides
816=(-5-k)^{2}
square root both sides don't forget positive and negative roots
+/-4√51=-5-k
add 5 to both sides
5+/-4√51=-k
times -1 both sides
-5+/-4√51=k




the possible values for k are
k=-5+4√51 or k=-5-4√51
