Answer:

a) 78.81% probability that a randomly selected woman has a foot length less than 10.0 in.

b) 78.74% probability that a randomly selected woman has a foot length between 8.0 in and 10.0 in.

c) 2.28% probability that 25 women have foot lengths with a mean greater than 9.8 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, a large sample size can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 9.6, \sigma = 0.5.

a. Find the probability that a randomly selected woman has a foot length less than 10.0 in

This probability is the pvalue of Z when X = 10.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{10 - 9.6}{0.5}

Z = 0.8

Z = 0.8 has a pvalue of 0.7881.

So there is a 78.81% probability that a randomly selected woman has a foot length less than 10.0 in.

b. Find the probability that a randomly selected woman has a foot length between 8.0 in and 10.0 in.

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 10 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 8.

When X = 10, Z has a pvalue of 0.7881.

For X = 8:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{8 - 9.6}{0.5}

Z = -3.2

Z = -3.2 has a pvalue of 0.0007.

So there is a 0.7881 - 0.0007 = 0.7874 = 78.74% probability that a randomly selected woman has a foot length between 8.0 in and 10.0 in.

c. Find the probability that 25 women have foot lengths with a mean greater than 9.8 in.

Now we have n = 25, s = \frac{0.5}{\sqrt{25}} = 0.1.

This probability is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 9.8. So:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

Z = \frac{9.8 - 9.6}{0.1}

Z = 2

Z = 2 has a pvalue of 0.9772.

There is a 1-0.9772 = 0.0228 = 2.28% probability that 25 women have foot lengths with a mean greater than 9.8 in.

Determine the intercepts of the line. 7x-5=4y-67x−5=4y−67, x, minus, 5, equals, 4, y, minus, 6 xxx-intercept: \Big((left parenth
sesenic [268]

Given:

The equation of line is

7x-5=4y-6

To find:

The x and y-intercept of the given line.

Solution:

We have,

7x-5=4y-6

Putting x=0, we get

7(0)-5=4y-6

Add 6 on both sides.

0-5+6=4y

1=4y

Divide both sides by 4.

\dfrac{1}{4}=y

So, the y-intercept is \left(0,\dfrac{1}{4}\right).

Putting y=0 in given equation, we get

7x-5=4(0)-6

Add 5 on both sides.

7x=-6+5

7x=-1

Divide both sides by 7.

x=\dfrac{-1}{7}

So, the x-intercept is \left(-\dfrac{1}{7},0\right).
