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.

A bag contains 6 red tiles, 8 blue tiles, and 6 green tiles. A tile is drawn, the color recorded, and then the tile placed back
tester [92]

Answer:

9 red tiles


Step-by-step explanation:


Total number of tiles: 6+8+6=20

Total number of red tiles: 6


Probability of getting red in one draw:  \frac{6}{20}=0.3

<em>This means that you would expect to get red 0.3  or 30% of the times.</em>

<em>Hence, when you draw tiles 30 times from the bag, you would expect red to be picked 30% of 30 times. This is:</em>

<em>0.3*30=9</em>

So, you would expect to draw a red tile from the bag 9 times.

The figure is the net for a rectangular prism.
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

SA=544\ cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The surface area of a rectangular prism is equal to the area of its six rectangular faces

using the net

The surface area is equal to

SA=2[(16)(6)]+2[(16)(8)]+2[(8)(6)]

SA=192+256+96

SA=544\ cm^2

Write a cubic function whose graph goes through the points: (-5, 0) (1, 0) (2, -2) (4, 0)
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

f(x) = \frac{1}{7}(x+5)(x-1)(x-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the equation of the give cubic function is,

f(x) = p(x - a)(x - b)(x - c)

Here, a, b, c and d are the x-intercepts of the given graph.

Since, x-intercepts given in the graph are x = -5, 1 and 4,

Equation of the curve will be,

f(x) = p(x + 5)(x - 1)(x - 4)

Since, the graph of this function passes through (2, -2) also

-2 = p(2 + 5)(2 - 1)(2 - 4)

-2 = -p(14)

p = \frac{2}{14}

p = \frac{1}{7}

Therefore, equation will be,

f(x) = \frac{1}{7}(x+5)(x-1)(x-4)
