National League Hockey play-off games go into overtime if the score is tied at the end of a game. Overtime lasts until one of th

e teams scores a goal. From years of experience we know that the distribution of the lengths of the overtime periods is right skewed with a mean of 9.8 minutes and a standard deviation of 12 minutes. What is the (approximate) probability that a random sample of 30 overtime periods would have a (sample) mean length of more than 13 minutes? Give your answer to 3 decimal places, e.g, 0.123.

Answer:

0.07215 = 0.072 to 3 d.p.

Step-by-step explanation:

Central limit theorem explains that the sampling distribution obtained from this distribution will be approximately a normal distribution with

Mean = population mean

μₓ = μ = 9.8 minutes

Standard deviation of the distribution of sample means = σₓ = (σ/√n)

σ = 12 minutes

n = sample size = 30

σₓ = (12/√30) = 2.191

Probability that a random sample of 30 overtime periods would have a (sample) mean length of more than 13 minutes

Required probability = P(x > 13)

Since we've established that this distribution of sample means approximates a normal distribution

We first standardize 13 minutes.

The standardized score for any value is the value minus the mean then divided by the standard deviation.

z = (x - μ)/σ = (13 - 9.8)/2.191 = 1.46

Required probability

P(x > 13) = P(z > 1.46)

We'll use data from the normal probability table for these probabilities

P(x > 13) = P(z > 1.46) = 1 - P(z ≤ 1.46)

= 1 - 0.92785 = 0.07215

Hope this Helps!!!

Find the volume of the cylinder
AleksandrR [38]

The volume of the cylinder in terms of π is 18,095.5736 square yards,

the volume of the cylinder by using π equals 3.14 is 18.086.4 square yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1; The volume of any cylinder is given by π times the product of the square of the radius (r²) and the height (h). The given cylinder has a radius of 12 yards and a height of 40 yards.

The volume of any cylinder = π × r² × h.

Step 2; The value of π equals 3.14159263588. So substituting this value in the equation to calculate the volume we get

The volume of the given cylinder = 3.14159263588 × 12² × 40 = 18,095.5736 square yards.

Step 3; If we substitute the value of π as 3.14 in the equation to calculate the volume, we get

The volume of the given cylinder = 3.14 × 12² × 40 = 18.086.4 square yards.

HELP!!!! 60 POINTS to whoever does this (geometry proof)
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

A) This is correct. The angles of <em>AEB </em>are the angles of <em>DEC. </em>This means that this is true.

B) This is incorrect. This triangle is NOT an isosceles triangle. The angles of an isosceles triangle are supposed to be about 36° for the top angle, and 72° for the other two angles. (At least this is what I was told)

Hope this helps :)

-wait. .___. they both might be true.

According to G oogle: "All the three angles situated within the isosceles triangle are acute, which signifies that the angles are less than 90°. The sum of three angles of an isosceles triangle is always 180°, which means we can find out the third angle of a triangle if the two angles of an isosceles triangle are known."

Find the value of x <br> A) 6.0<br> B) 7.7<br> C) 60<br> D) 12
galben [10]

Answer:

D 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The product of the lengths of the segments of one chord equal the product of the segments of the other.

x*4 = 6*8

4x = 48

Divide each side by 4

4x/4 = 48/4

x = 12

What is the Line that passes through (2,0) and (0,1)
zimovet [89]

To find the slope you use the equation:

m = (y₂-y₁) ÷ (x₂-x₁)

You plug in the two points into this equation to find m (m is the slope)

m = (1 - 0) ÷ (0 - 2)

m = 1 ÷ (-2)

m = - 1/2

Next you use this equation:

y = mx + b

Because you know m you plug it in.

y = -1/2x + b

Now you need to find b. To do so you plug in either of the points into this equation(you come out with the same answer for b)

y = -1/2x + b

1 = -1/2(0) + b

1 = b

Finally you plug in b and you get your new equation.

y = -1/2x + 1
