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

taurus [48]

Answer:

h(-4) =18

Step-by-step explanation:

h(x) = -4x + 2

Let x = -4

h(-4) = -4*-4 + 2

        =16+2

         =18

A side of the square is 4t. the area of the square is 400. what is the value of t?
LenaWriter [7]
A side is 4t so A=400=16t^2 by definition. Thus t=5 which produces an area of 400 since [4 (5)]^2=20×20=400.
