In a recent year, Washington State public school students taking a mathematics assessment test had a mean score of 276.1 and a s

tandard deviation of 34.4. A random sample of 64 students is drawn form this population.(A) Identifying the mean and standard error of the sample mean score ¯X (x bar).(B) What is the distribution of ¯ X? and Why?(C) Find the probability that the sample mean score ¯X(x bar) is at least 285.

Answer:

a) \mu_{\bar x} =\mu = 276.1

\sigma_{\bar x} =\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}=\frac{34.4}{\sqrt{64}}=4.3

b) From the central limit theorem we know that the distribution for the sample mean \bar X is given by:

\bar X \sim N(\mu=276.1, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}=4.3)

c) P(\bar X \geq 285)=P(Z\geq \frac{285-276.1}{4.3}=2.070)

P(Z\geq2.070)=1-P(Z

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X the random variable the represent the scores for the test analyzed. We know that:

\mu=E(X) = 276.1 , \sigma=Sd(X) = 34.4

And we select a sample size of 64.

The central limit theorem states that "if we have a population with mean μ and standard deviation σ and take sufficiently large random samples from the population with replacement, then the distribution of the sample means will be approximately normally distributed. This will hold true regardless of whether the source population is normal or skewed, provided the sample size is sufficiently large".

Part a

For this case the mean and standard error for the sample mean would be given by:

\mu_{\bar x} =\mu = 276.1

\sigma_{\bar x} =\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}=\frac{34.4}{\sqrt{64}}=4.3

Part b

From the central limit theorem we know that the distribution for the sample mean \bar X is given by:

\bar X \sim N(\mu=276.1, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}=4.3)

Part c

For this case we want this probability:

P(\bar X \geq 285)

And we can use the z score defined as:

z=\frac{\bar x -\mu}{\sigma_{\bar x}}

And using this we got:

P(\bar X \geq 285)=P(Z\geq \frac{285-276.1}{4.3}=2.070)

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

P(Z\geq2.070)=1-P(Z

The table gives the surface areas, in square kilometres, of five seas.
zlopas [31]

The table is missing, so i have attached it.

Also, the correct question is;

The surface area of the East China Sea is k times the surface area of the Baltic Sea.

Work out the value of k.

Give your answer to the nearest whole number

Answer:

k = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

From the attached table,

Surface area of east china = 1.25 × 10^(6) km²

Surface area of Baltic sea = 4.22 × 10^(5) km² = 0.422 × 10^(6) km²

We are told that the surface area of East China Sea is k times that of the surface area of the Baltic Sea.

Thus;

1.25 × 10^(6) = k × 0.422 × 10^(6)

k = 1.25/0.422

k = 2.96

Approximating to whole number gives;

k = 3

Round 1.965 to the nearest tenth.
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer: 2.0

Step-by-step explanation:

To round 1.965 to the nearest tenth consider the hundredths’ value of 1.965, which is 6 and equal or more than 5. Therefore, the tenths value of 1.965 increases by 1 to 0.

1.965 rounded to the nearest tenth = 2.0
