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

The subject of the formula below is y.<br>a=4x/t - p<br>Rearrange the f make x the subject.​
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

x = t(a+p)/4

Step-by-step explanation

Given the expression

​a=4x/t - p

We are to make x the subject of the formula

a=4x/t - p

Add p to both sides

a+p = 4x/t - p+p

a+p = 4x/t

Cross multiply

t(a+p) = 4x

Rearrange

4x = t(a+p)

Divide both sides by 4

4x/4 = t(a+p)/4

x = t(a+p)/4

Answer:

The given fraction \frac{x^3-x^2}{x^3} reduces to  \frac{x-1}{x}

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the given fraction \frac{x^3-x^2}{x^3}

We have to reduce the fraction to the lowest terms.

Consider numerator x^3-x^2

We can take x² common from both the term,

Thus, numerator can be written as x^2(x-1)

Given expression can be rewritten as ,

\frac{x^3-x^2}{x^3}=\frac{x^2(x-1)}{x^3}

We can now cancel x^2 from both numerator and denominator,

\Rightarrow \frac{x^2(x-1)}{x^3}=\frac{x^2(x-1)}{x^2 \cdot x}

\Rightarrow \frac{(x-1)}{x^2 \cdot x}=\frac{x-1}{x}

Thus, the given fraction \frac{x^3-x^2}{x^3} reduces to  \frac{x-1}{x}
