A distribution of values is normal with a mean of 220 and a standard deviation of 13. From this distribution, you are drawing sa

Paraphin [41]

Answer:

The interval containing the middle-most 48% of sample means is between 218.59 to 221.41.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need 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 normally distributied random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 220, \sigma = 13, n = 35, s = \frac{13}{\sqrt{35}} = 2.1974$

Find the interval containing the middle-most 48% of sample means:

50 - 48/2 = 26th percentile to 50 + 48/2 = 74th percentile. So

74th percentile

value of X when Z has a pvalue of 0.74. So X when Z = 0.643.

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

$0.643 = \frac{X - 220}{2.1974}$

$X - 220 = 0.643*2.1974$

$X = 221.41$

26th percentile

Value of X when Z has a pvalue of 0.26. So X when Z = -0.643

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

$-0.643 = \frac{X - 220}{2.1974}$

$X - 220 = -0.643*2.1974$

$X = 218.59$

The interval containing the middle-most 48% of sample means is between 218.59 to 221.41.

Algebra 1 Please help! thank u sm

Answer:

1. Slyvia is wrong. You treat the numbers normally when dividing the left side, so 3.61/4.1 = .88. When dividing the exponents, you subtract the numerator from the denominator, so -11-7 = -18. So, you do have .88 * 10^-18, at first, but when you are working in scientific notation you want the decimal to be greater than so, which requires us to add an additional -1, to make it 8.8 instead of 0.88. This is because we want to move the decimal place left one more time. This results in our final answer being 8.8 * 10^-19, which is not Slyvia's answer.

2. Dylan's answer is correct. He subtracted the exponents correctly, then moved the decimal place over one place towards the left.

3. Ethan is wrong. He added the exponents, instead of subtracting. However, you cannot do this, because when you are dividing exponents, you must subtract.

Step-by-step explanation:

I have this acronym I learned called MADSPM, which has helped me a lot. I never learned it in Algebra, but I wish that they had taught it. Each letter corresponds with an exponent rule. If this makes sense, here is what it stands for:

When you multiply, you add.

When you divide, you subtract.

When there are parentheses, you multiply.

In this case, it was solely division. So, you just need to remember division = subtraction, when it comes to exponents.

Hopefully this helped. If you need me to explain it better, please let me know, and I will try. Thanks much & have a wonderful day!

A quadratic equation is shown below: 3x^2 − 15x + 20 = 0 Part A: Describe the solution(s) to the equation by just determining th

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

These are two questions and two answers:

Question 1:

<span>A quadratic equation is shown below: 3x^2 − 15x + 20 = 0 Part A: Describe the solution(s) to the equation by just determining the radicand. Show your work.

Answer: </span><span>The negative value of the radicand means that the equation does not have real solutions.

Explanation:

1) With radicand the statement means the disciminant of the quadratic function.

2) The discriminant is: b² - 4ac, where a, b, and c are the coefficients of the quadratic equation: ax² + bx + c

3) Then, for 3x² - 15x + 20, a = 3, b = - 15, and c = 20

and the discriminant (radicand) is: (-15)² - 4(3)(20) = 225 - 240 = - 15.

4) The negative value of the radicand means that the equation does not have real solutions.

Question 2:

Part B: Solve 3x^2 + 5x − 8 = 0 by using an appropriate method. Show the steps of your work, and explain why you chose the method used.

Answer: </span> two solutions x = 1 and x = - 8/3x

Explanation:

1) I choose factoring (you may use the quadratic formula if you prefer)

2) Factoring

Given: 3x² + 5x − 8 = 0

Make 5x = 8x - 3x: 3x² + 8x - 3x - 8 = 0

Group: (3x² - 3x) + (8x - 8) = 0

Common factors for each group: 3x(x -1) + 8(x - 1) = 0

Coomon factor x - 1: (x - 1) (3x + 8) = 0

The two solutions are for each factor equal to zero:

x - 1 = 0 ⇒ x = 1
3x + 8 = 0 ⇒ x = -8/3

Those are the two solutions. x = 1 and x = - 8/3
