The number of cars running a red light in a day, at a given intersection, possesses a distribution with a mean of 2.4 cars and a

standard deviation of 4. The number of cars running the red light was observed on 100 randomly chosen days and the mean number of cars calculated. Describe the sampling distribution of the sample mean.

Answer:

The sampling distribution of the sample mean is:

\bar X\sim N(\mu_{\bar x}=2.4,\ \sigma_{\bar x}=0.40)

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Central Limit Theorem if we have a population with mean <em>μ</em> and standard deviation <em>σ</em> and appropriately huge random samples (<em>n</em> > 30) are selected from the population with replacement, then the distribution of the sample mean will be approximately normally distributed.

Then, the mean of the distribution of sample means is given by,

\mu_{\bar x}=\mu

And the standard deviation of the distribution of sample means is given by,

\sigma_{\bar x}=\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

Let <em>X</em> = number of cars running a red light in a day, at a given intersection.

The information provided is:

E(X)=\mu=2.4\\SD(X)=\sigma=4\\n=100

The sample selected is quite large, i.e. <em>n</em> = 100 > 30.

The Central limit theorem can be used to approximate the sampling distribution of the sample mean number of cars running a red light in a day, by the Normal distribution.

The mean of the sampling distribution of the sample mean is:

\mu_{\bar x}=\mu=2.4

The standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the sample mean is:

\sigma_{\bar x}=\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}=\frac{4}{\sqrt{100}}=0.40

The sampling distribution of the sample mean is:

\bar X\sim N(\mu_{\bar x}=2.4,\ \sigma_{\bar x}=0.40)

What is the solution of the system of equations shown in the graph?
Rudiy27

Answer:

The solution of the system of equations shown in the graph is (2,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

It's easy

You just look for the point of intersections the lines make.

The point is on the number 2  on the x axis, and number 0 on the y axis. Therefore its (2,0).

Happy to help!

I really need help on this please help
Delvig [45]
I believe the X numbers are divided by 2, to get the Y numbers. So the blank X box is 1 and the other is 12.

The area of the square is 100 square centimeters. What is the area of the circle?
swat32

Answer:

  • Since the question is incomplete, see the figure attached and the explanation below.

Explanation:

Since the figure is missing, I enclose the figure of a square inscribed in a circle.

Since the <em>area of a square</em> is the side length squared, you can determine the side length:

  • Area = (side length)²
  • 100 cm² = (side lenght)²

        side\text{ }length=\sqrt{100cm^2}=10cm

From the side length, you can find the diagonal of the square, which is equal to the diameter of the circle, using the Pythagorean theorem:

  • diagonal² = (10cm)² + (10cm)² = 2 × (10cm)²

         diagonal=\sqrt{2\times (10cm)^2}\\ \\ diagonal=10\sqrt{2} cm

The area of the circle is π (radius)².

  • radius = diameter/2 = diagonal/2

        area= \pi \times (5\sqrt{2}cm)^2=50\pi cm^2

Which of the following is not a factor of x^3 – 3x^2 – 4x + 12?
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

c. (x + 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

using factor theorem

if x - 3 is a factor then p(a) = 0

p(a)= x^3 - 3x^2 - 4x + 12

a.(x-3)

p(3) = (3)^3 - 3(3)^2 - 4(3) + 12

= 27 - 27 - 12 + 12

= 0

therefore x-3 is a factor

b.(x + 2)

p(-2) = (-2)^3 - 3(-2)^2 - 4(-2) + 12

= -8 -12 + 8 + 12

,= 0

therefore x + 2 is a factor

c.(x + 3)

p(-3) = (-3)^3 - 3(-3)^2 - 4(-3) + 12

= -27 -27 + 12 + 12

= -30

therefore x + 3 is not a factor

d.(x-2)

p(2) = (2)^3 - 3(2)^2 - 4(2) + 12

= 8 -12 - 8 + 12

= 0

therefore x - 2 is a factor
