Suppose the sediment density (g/cm) of a randomly selected specimen from a certain region is normally distributed with mean 2.68

and standard deviation 0.81. (a) If a random sample of 25 specimens is selected, what is the probability that the sample average sediment density is at most 3.00? Between 2.68 and 3.00? (Round your answers to four decimal places.) at most 3.00 between 2.68 and 3.00 (b) How large a sample size would be required to ensure that the probability in part (a) is at least 0.99? (Round your answer up to the nearest whole number.) specimens

Answer:

a) 0.9761; 0.4761; b) 35

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the z score formula

z=\frac{\bar{X}-\mu}{\sigma \div \sqrt{n}}

Our mean, μ, is 2.68 and our standard deviation, σ, is 0.81.  The sample size, n, is 25.

We want to find P(X ≤ 3.00):

z = (3.00-2.68)/(0.81÷√25) = 0.32/(0.81÷5) = 0.32/0.162 = 1.98

Using a z table, we see that the area under the curve to the left of this is 0.9761.

We now want to find P(2.68 ≤ X ≤ 3.00):

z = (2.68-2.68)/0.162 = 0/0.162 = 0

z = (3.00-2.68)/0.162 = 0.32/0.162 = 1.98

The area under the curve to the right of z = 0.00 is 0.5.  The area under the curve to the right of z = 1.98 is 0.9761.  This makes the area between them

0.9761-0.5000 = 0.4761.

For part b,

We use the same information, except we are now finding the sample size.  We want the probability to be 0.99.  Looking in the z table, we see that the closest number to this is 0.9901, which corresponds to a z score of 2.33:

2.33 = (3.00-2.68)/(0.81÷√n)

2.33 = 0.32/(0.81÷√n)

2.33 = 0.32×(√n/0.81)

2.33 = 0.32√n/0.81

Multiply both sides by 0.81:

0.81(2.33) = (0.32√n/0.81)(0.81)

1.8873 = 0.32√n

Divide both sides by 0.32:

1.8873/0.32 = 0.32√n/0.32

5.8978 = √x

Square both sides:

(5.8978)² = (√x)²

34.78 = x

This rounds to 35.

How is Addy 4+ -4 similar to adding 4+4 how is it different use the words and models to explain
Margarita [4]

4- (+) (-4) is similar to 4+4 by the rule of addition in integers that is if Negative + Negative then Add the number and put the sign of greater number.

<h3>What is integer?</h3>

Zero, a positive natural number, or a negative integer denoted by a minus sign are all examples of integers. The inverse additives of the corresponding positive numbers are the negative numbers. An integer, pronounced "IN-tuh-jer," is a whole number that can be positive, negative, or zero and is not a fraction. Integer examples include: -5, 1, 5, 8, 97, and 3,043. 1.43, 1 3/4, 3.14, and other numbers that are not integers are some examples. Three categories of integers exist: Zero (0) (0) Good integers (Natural numbers) Integer Negatives (Additive inverse of Natural Numbers).

The rules of addition in integers says,

- + -  = +

by this,

4-(-4)=8

by concept of addition,

4+4=8

What times itself equals 32 (sorry i suck at maths)
julia-pushkina [17]
You're asking for the square root of 32. you can actually do this on a calculator really easily. just type in the number (in this case, 32) and press the square root symbol (looks like a calculator). the square root of 32 is a long string of decimals,  but it's approximately 5.7 :) good luck
