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.

What are the relationships among radii, chords, tangents, and inscribed and circumscribed angles?
Mars2501 [29]
These are all parts of circles.

A radius is the distance from the center of a circle to the edge.

A chord is a line segment from 2 different places on a circle.

A tangent is a line that touches the edge of a circle in only 1 place.

Inscribed angles are inside a circle and circumscribed angles are on the outside of a circle.

Una empresa comercial vende automóviles cuyo precio es de S/. 60 000, con una cuota inicial del 20%, para cancelar el saldo en 3
Inessa05 [86]

Responder:

2560

Explicación paso a paso:

Dado lo siguiente:

Precio del automóvil = 60000

Cuota inicial = 20% del precio = (0.2 * 60000 = 12,000

Saldo = (60000 - 12000) = 48000

La empresa cobra un interés simple del 12% cada 6 meses

Periodo de pago = 30 meses / 6 = 5 periodos

Interés simple: p * r * t

= 48000 * 0,12 * 5 = 28800

Por lo tanto, monto total a reembolsar, incluidos los intereses:

Balance + 28800; 48000 + 28800 = 76800

El reembolso mensual es fijo;

Por lo tanto,

76800/30 = 2560
