The distribution of weights of United States pennies is approximately normal with a mean of 2.5 grams and a standard deviation o

f 0.03 grams.a. What is the probability that a randomly chosen penny weights less than 2.4 grams?b. Describe the sampling distribution of the mean weight of 10 randomly chosen pennies.c. What is the probability that the mean weight of 10 pennies is less than 2.4 grams?d. Sketch the two distributions (population and sampling) on the same scale.e. Could you estimate the probabilities from (a) and (c) if the weights of the pennies had a skewed distribution?

Answer:

a) P(X

b) \bar X \sim N(2.5, \frac{0.03}{\sqrt{10}}=0.00948)

c) P(\bar X

And using a calculator, excel or the normal standard table we have that:

P(Z

d) Figure attached

e) If we don't know the distribution then we can't ensure that the sample mean would be distributed like this:

\bar X \sim N(\mu, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})

And we can't estimate the probabilities on a easy way.

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Part a

Let X the random variable that represent the weights of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(2.5,0.03)  

Where \mu=2.5 and \sigma=0.03

We are interested on this probability

P(X

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

P(X

And we can find this probability on this way:

P(-0.50

Part b

Since the distribution for X is normal then the distribution for the sample mean is:

\bar X \sim N(\mu, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})

\bar X \sim N(2.5, \frac{0.03}{\sqrt{10}}=0.00948)

Part c

P(\bar X

And using a calculator, excel or the normal standard table we have that:

P(Z

Part d

See the figure attached the deviation for the sample mean is lower for this reason we have the pattern in the graph attached.

Part e

If we don't know the distribution then we can't ensure that the sample mean would be distributed like this:

\bar X \sim N(\mu, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})

And we can't estimate the probabilities on a easy way.

Caroline's hair is
Ipatiy [6.2K]

The inequality can be used to determine how many months will it take for Caroline's hair to be at least as long as Trinity's hair is (1/5)x + 7 ≥ (1/10)x + 10

<h3>What is an equation? </h3>

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more numbers and variables. An independent variable is a variable that does not depend on other variables while a dependent variable is a variable that depends on other variables.

Let x represent the number of months.

For Caroline's hair:

Length = (1/5)x + 7

For Trinity's hair:

Length = (1/10)x + 10

For Caroline's hair to be at least as long as Trinity's hair, hence:

(1/5)x + 7 ≥ (1/10)x + 10

The inequality can be used to determine how many months will it take for Caroline's hair to be at least as long as Trinity's hair is (1/5)x + 7 ≥ (1/10)x + 10

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

(i) She gives each student a pretest. Then she teaches a lesson using a computer program. Afterwards, she gives each student a posttest. The teacher wants to see if the difference in scores will show an improvement.

Step-by- Step

The situation is a case of matched or paired samples since the samples are dependent. The two measurements are drawn from the same pair of individuals The parameter that is tested using matched pairs is the population mean and this is what teacher intends to use a hypothesis test for.

I neeeddddd helpppppppp plllllzzzz
vesna_86 [32]

Step-by-step explanation:

-3x + 7y = 5x + 2y (you subtract the 2y from both sides)

-3× + 5y = 5x (then add 3x to both sides)

5y = 8x (use x = - 5)

5y = 8x - 5 = -40 (both sides are divided by 5)

y = -8

answer is (-5, -8)
