Thompson and Thompson is a steel bolts manufacturing company. Their current steel bolts have a mean diameter of 144 millimeters,

and a variance of 49. If a random sample of 50 steel bolts is selected, what is the probability that the sample mean would differ from the population mean by more than 2.6 millimeters

Answer:

The probability that the sample mean would differ from the population mean by more than 2.6 mm is 0.0043.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Central Limit Theorem if we have a population with mean μ and standard deviation σ and appropriately huge random samples (n > 30) are selected from the population with replacement, then the distribution of the sample  means will be approximately normally distributed.

Then, the mean of the distribution of sample mean is given by,

\mu_{\bar x}=\mu

And the standard deviation of the distribution of sample mean  is given by,

\sigma_{\bar x}=\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

The information provided is:

<em>μ</em> = 144 mm

<em>σ</em> = 7 mm

<em>n</em> = 50.

Since <em>n</em> = 50 > 30, the Central limit theorem can be applied to approximate the sampling distribution of sample mean.

\bar X\sim N(\mu_{\bar x}=144, \sigma_{\bar x}^{2}=0.98)

Compute the probability that the sample mean would differ from the population mean by more than 2.6 mm as follows:

P(\bar X-\mu_{\bar x}>2.6)=P(\frac{\bar X-\mu_{\bar x}}{\sigma_{\bar x}} >\frac{2.6}{\sqrt{0.98}})

                           =P(Z>2.63)\\=1-P(Z

*Use a <em>z</em>-table for the probability.

Thus, the probability that the sample mean would differ from the population mean by more than 2.6 mm is 0.0043.

It is known that 1.4&lt; square root of 2 &lt;1.5. Find all possible values of the expression 2-square root of 2. How do I find
horsena [70]

Answer:

0.5<2-√2<0.6

Step-by-step explanation:

The original inequality states that 1.4<√2<1.5

For the second inequality, you can think of 2-√2 as 2+(-√2).

Because of the "properties of inequalities", we know that when a positive inequality is being turned into a negative, the numbers need to swap and become negative. So, the original inequality becomes -1.5<-√2<-1.4. (Notice how the √2 becomes negative, too). This makes sense because -1.5 is less than -1.4.

Using our new inequality, we can solve the problem. Instead of 2+(-√2), we are going to switch "-√2" with both possibilities of -1.5 and -1.6. For -1.5, we would get 2+(-1.5), or 0.5. For -1.4, we would get 2+(-1.4), or 0.6.

Now, we insert the new numbers into the equation _<2-√2<_. The 0.5 would take the original equation's "1.4" place, and 0.6 would take 1.5's. In the end, you'd get 0.5<2-√2<0.6. All possible values of 2-√2 would be between 0.5 and 0.6.

Hope this helped!
