Answer:

a) P(7.99 ≤ X ≤ 8.01) = 0.8164

b) P(X ≥ 8.01) = 0.0475.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we have 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 can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 8, \sigma = 0.03

(a) Calculate P(7.99 ≤ X ≤ 8.01) when n = 16.

n = 16, so s = \frac{0.03}{4} = 0.0075

This probability is the pvalue of Z when X = 8.01 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 7.99. So

X = 8.01

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

Applying the Central Limit Theorem

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

Z = \frac{8.01 - 8}{0.0075}

Z = 1.33

Z = 1.33 has a pvalue of 0.9082

X = 7.99

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

Z = \frac{7.99 - 8}{0.0075}

Z = -1.33

Z = -1.33 has a pvalue of 0.0918

0.9082 - 0.0918 = 0.8164

P(7.99 ≤ X ≤ 8.01) = 0.8164

(b) How likely is it that the sample mean diameter exceeds 8.01 when n = 25? P(X ≥ 8.01) =

n = 25, so s = \frac{0.03}{5} = 0.006

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 8.01. So

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

Z = \frac{8.01 - 8}{0.006}

Z = 1.67

Z = 1.67 has a pvalue of 0.9525

1 - 0.9525 = 0.0475

P(X ≥ 8.01) = 0.0475.

Tameka built 1/2 of a shed on Monday and 2/5 of the shed on Tuesday. Tameka finished building the shed of Wednesday. What fracti
Doss [256]

Step One

Find the sum of the fractions for Monday and Tuesday

1/2 + 2/5

The common denominator for these 2 days is 10

1/2: 1*5/(2*5) = 5/10

2/5:2*2/(2*5) = 4/10

Add these two equivalent fractions together.

5/10 + 4/10 = 9/10

The first 2 days resulted in 9/10 of the shed being completed.

Step Two

Find out how much (in terms of fractions) is left of the shed.

Let the whole shed = 1

Let what has been done = 9/10

What remains is 1 - 9/10 = 1/10

Answer: 1/10 of the shed needs to be done

lisov135 [29]

Answer:  3∛2

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

First, factor 128 .... you need three common factors to bring one on the outside of the radical.

\dfrac{3}{4}\sqrt[3]{128} \\\\\\=\dfrac{3}{4}\sqrt[3]{4\cdot 4\cdot 4\cdot 2} \\\\\\=\dfrac{3}{4}\cdot 4\sqrt[3]{2} \\\\\\=\large\boxed{3\sqrt[3]{2} }
