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.

What's 221 rounded to the nearest 10
ycow [4]
It would be 220 rounded to the nearest ten because the number in the ones place does not equal or exceed 5. 

So 220 is your answer :)

Help the question is the picture
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

a>-21(1/3)

Step-by-step explanation:

3/4a>-16

first thing is to divide both sides by 3/4 to isolate the variable.

Since it is not negative, the sign stays the same.  

-16/0.75=-21.3 repeating or just 1/3
