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

Answer:

√100 = 10, √36 = 6, √225 = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

100 can be made by 10^2 (10 x 10), 36 has factors of 6 and can be made by 6^2, and 225 can be made by 15^2.

6. If F(x) = -6(2x2 + 5x) - 9, what is the value of F(-4)?
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

-81

Step-by-step explanation:

-6(2x² + 5x) - 9

substitute -4 for 'x'

-6[2(-4)² + 5(-4)] - 9

-6[2(16) + (-20) - 9]

-6(32 - 20) - 9

-6(12) - 9

-72 - 9 = -81
