The first thing that would probably come to mind when solving this problem would be to plug in the numbers into the equations. Like this 12^2 + 16^2 = x^2 (X = to the number that you plug in from the answer bank.). This is correct thinking so you can try this:

144 + 256 = 400.

So your square has to be equal to 400.

And it most common knowledge that the square root of 400 is equal to 20.

So your answer is 20.

Pepsi [2]

Answer:

0.5034 = 50.34% probability that the sample mean would differ from the true mean by less than 1.1 months

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 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.

Central limit theorem:

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sample means with size n of at least 30 can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 119, \sigma = 14, n = 74, s = \frac{14}{\sqrt{74}} = 1.6275$
