Answer:

0.0179 = 1.79% probability that the mean of this sample is less than 15.99 ounces of water.

Step-by-step explanation:

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

Normal probability distribution

When the distribution is normal, we use 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 question, we have that:

\mu = 16.15, \sigma = 0.45, n = 35, s = \frac{0.45}{\sqrt{35}} = 0.0761

What is the probability that the mean of this sample is less than 15.99 ounces of water?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 15.99. So

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

Z = \frac{15.99 - 16.15}{0.0761}

Z = -2.1

Z = -2.1 has a pvalue of 0.0179

0.0179 = 1.79% probability that the mean of this sample is less than 15.99 ounces of water.

Drag each figure to show if it is similar to the figure shown or why it is not similar
natita [175]

Answer:

In the given shapes above, we can see that all shapes have four sides.

Above geometrical shapes could be named as Rectangles, parallelogram or quadrilateral.

First two shapes are Rectangles.

Third is a parallelogram.

Fourth and fifth shapes are Rectangles again.

Also we can say all those shapes with four side as quadrilaterals. (Note: A quadrilateral has four sides.)

Below shown shape has only three sides in it.

It is called a triangle when a shape has three sided close figure.

So, we could drag : Not similar - Different Type of shape.
