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

May has 5 cups of dough. It takes 1/3 cup of dough to make one dinner roll. How many dinner rolls can she make with the dough sh
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

15 Rolls.

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem is one that can be solved simply by dividing.

Take 5, and divide that by 1/3.

However, you can't just do this. The way I did it was by turning 5 into 5/1. Then, Multiply by the reciprocal, which would be 5 x 3, which equals 15.

The width of a rectangular pool is 5 meters longer than the length. The perimeter of the pool is 58 meters. Use and equation to
garri49 [273]
The perimeter of a rectangular pool = 2l + 2w

If the width is 5m longer than the length, 

Then Perimeter = 2(l + 5) + 2l
                          = 4l + 10  {THE EQUATION}

Since Perimeter = 58 m
Then 4l + 10 = 58 m

⇒  l  =  12 m

Thus the Length of the Pool = 12 m

If 100 cm id 1 m than how many cm are there are 13m
postnew [5]
The question requires you skills in doing multiplication or division. Ratio and proportion would also do here.
The topic here is about conversion.
You are given that 100 cm = 1m
Then how about 13 m?

100 cm : 1 m =  X : 13m
100 cm * 13m = 1m * x
1300 = 1m * X
X = 1300 cm

So 13m is equal to 1,300 cm

Well every 5 feet will be drawn an inch in the floor-plan.

And given dimensions in feet must be multiplied by 1 inch/5 feet.

The dimensions are 4 inch by 4.8 inch.

Hope this helps you! (:
