Boy Scouts hiking in the mountains divide into two groups to hike around Lake Sahara. They leave the same place at 10 a.m., and

one group of younger boys hikes east around the lake and the other group hikes west. If the younger boys hike at a rate of 3 mph and the older boys hike at a rate of 5 mph, how long before they meet on the other side of the lake if the trail around the lake is 8 miles long? At what time do they meet?

Please help and explain would I still set this up with law of sine or use cosine
Svetach [21]

You would use the tangent first, because the opposite of 40 would be x and the adjacent would be 30ft

The mean amount purchased by a typical customer at Churchill's Grocery Store is $26.00 with a standard deviation of $6.00. Assum
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

a) 0.0951

b) 0.8098

c) Between $24.75 and $27.25.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples are 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.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 26, \sigma = 6, n = 62, s = \frac{6}{\sqrt{62}} = 0.762

(a)

What is the likelihood the sample mean is at least $27.00?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 27. So

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

Z = \frac{27 - 26}{0.762}

Z = 1.31

Z = 1.31 has a pvalue of 0.9049

1 - 0.9049 = 0.0951

(b)

What is the likelihood the sample mean is greater than $25.00 but less than $27.00?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 27 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 25. So

X = 27

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

Z = \frac{27 - 26}{0.762}

Z = 1.31

Z = 1.31 has a pvalue of 0.9049

X = 25

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

Z = \frac{25 - 26}{0.762}

Z = -1.31

Z = -1.31 has a pvalue of 0.0951

0.9049 - 0.0951 = 0.8098

c)Within what limits will 90 percent of the sample means occur?

50 - 90/2 = 5

50 + 90/2 = 95

Between the 5th and the 95th percentile.

5th percentile

X when Z has a pvalue of 0.05. So X when Z = -1.645

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

-1.645 = \frac{X - 26}{0.762}

X - 26 = -1.645*0.762

X = 24.75

95th percentile

X when Z has a pvalue of 0.95. So X when Z = 1.645

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

1.645 = \frac{X - 26}{0.762}

X - 26 = 1.645*0.762

X = 27.25

Between $24.75 and $27.25.
