Answer:

68.76% probability that the sampling error made in estimating the mean weekly salary for all employees of the company by the mean of a random sample of weekly salaries of 50 employees will be at most $50

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 are 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, a large sample size can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation, which is also called standard error s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 1000, \sigma = 350, n = 50, s = \frac{350}{\sqrt{50}} = 49.5

What is the probability that the sampling error made in estimating the mean weekly salary for all employees of the company by the mean of a random sample of weekly salaries of 50 employees will be at most $50

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 1000+50 = 1050 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 1000-50 = 950. So

X = 1050

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

Z = \frac{1050-1000}{49.5}

Z = 1.01

Z = 1.01 has a pvalue of 0.8438

X = 950

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

Z = \frac{950-1000}{49.5}

Z = -1.01

Z = -1.01 has a pvalue of 0.1562

0.8438 - 0.1562 = 0.6876

68.76% probability that the sampling error made in estimating the mean weekly salary for all employees of the company by the mean of a random sample of weekly salaries of 50 employees will be at most $50

Suppose we want to choose 5 colors, without replacement, from 8 distinct colors.1. If the order is relevant, how many can be don
Charra [1.4K]

(1) From the information given, if we want to choose 5 colors from 8 distinct colors and the order in which the selection is made is relevant, then what we have is a permutation.

The formula is given as;

nP_r=\frac{n!}{(n-r)!}

This formula means we need to select/arrange r items out of a total of n items and the anwer derived would be the total number of arrangements possible.

Therefore, we would have;

\begin{gathered} nP_r\Rightarrow_8P_5 \\ _8P_5=\frac{8!}{(8-5)!}\Rightarrow\frac{8!}{3!} \\ _8P_5=\frac{8\times7\times6\times\ldots1}{3\times2\times1}\Rightarrow\frac{40320}{6} \\ _8P_5=6720 \end{gathered}

Therefore, if the order is relevant, this selection can be done in 6,720 ways.

(2) If the order is NOT relevant, then what we need to calculate is a combination and the formula is;

_nC_r=\frac{n!}{(n-r)!r!}

The formula can now be applied as follows;

\begin{gathered} _nC_r\Rightarrow_8C_5 \\ _8C_5=\frac{8!}{(8-5)!\times5!} \\ _8C_5=\frac{8!}{3!\times5!}\Rightarrow\frac{8\times7\times6\times\ldots1}{(3\times2\times1)\times(5\times4\times\ldots1)} \\ _8C_5=\frac{40320}{6\times120} \\ _8C_5=56 \end{gathered}

If the order is not relevant, then the selection can be done in 56 ways.

Answer:

p>-3 open circle going to the right

m\leq -4 closed circle going to the left

n<5 open circle going to the left

h\geq 2 closed circle going to the right

1>x open circle going to the left

-1=d just a closed circle

Step-by-step explanation:

Before I answer these here are some good notes

If the inequality sign is < or > then the circle is going to be open

If the inequality sign is \leq  or\geq then the circle is going to be closed

If the inequality sign is facing the variable (ex: x>3) then the line is going to be going to the right

If the inequality sign is facing the constant (ex: x<3) then the line is going to be going to the left

p>-3 open circle going to the right

m\leq -4 closed circle going to the left

n<5 open circle going to the left

h\geq 2 closed circle going to the right

1>x open circle going to the left

-1=d just a closed circle
