Answer:

$u_{n} = -2 + (n-1)5$

Step-by-step explanation:

$u_{n} = a + (n-1)d$

$u_{3} = a + (3-1)d = 8$

$u_{3} = a + 2d = 8$

$u_{8} = a + (8-1)d = 33$

$u_{8} = a + 7d = 33$

Simultaenous Equations

a + 2d = 8

a + 7d = 33

Subtract the equations

(a + 7d = 33) - (a + 2d = 8)

(a - a) + (7d - 2d) = (33 - 8)

5d = 25

d = 25/5

d = 5

Subsitute d into either equation to find a

a + 2(5) = 8

a + 10 = 8

a = 8 - 10 = -2

a = -2

a + 7(5) = 33

a + 35 = 33

a = 33 - 35 = -2

a = -2

$u_{n} = -2 + (n-1)5$

Despite its nutritional value, seafood is only a tiny part of the American diet, with the average American eating just 16 pounds

iren [92.7K]

Answer:

0.12% probability that the sample mean seafood consumption of the 42 Americans is more than 17.5 pounds

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 distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .
