Answer:

47.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the z-scores:

z = (x − μ) / σ

z₁ = (300 − 400) / 50 = -2

z₂ = (400 − 400) / 50 = 0

300 is 2 standard deviations below the mean, and 400 is 0 standard deviations from the mean.

From the empirical rule, 95% of a normal distribution is between -2 and +2 standard deviations.  Since normal distributions are symmetrical, that means half of that is between -2 and 0 standard deviations.

95% / 2 = 47.5%

A tablet PC contains 3217 music files. The distribution of file size is highly skewed with many small files. Suppose the true me
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

Let X the random variable who represents the file sizeof music. We know the following info:

\mu =2.3,\sigma =3.25

We select a sample of n=50 nails. That represent the sample size.  

Since the sample size is large enough n >30, we can use the central limit theorem. From this theorem we know that the distribution for the sample mean \bar X is given by:

\bar X \sim N(\mu, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})

And we can approximate the distribution of the sample mean as a normal distribution and no matter if the distribution for X is right skewed or no.

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".  

The central limit theorem states that "if we have a population with mean μ and standard deviation σ and take sufficiently large random samples from the population with replacement, then the distribution of the sample means will be approximately normally distributed. This will hold true regardless of whether the source population is normal or skewed, provided the sample size is sufficiently large".

Let X the random variable who represents the file sizeof music. We know the following info:

\mu =2.3,\sigma =3.25

We select a sample of n=50 nails. That represent the sample size.

Marissa rode her bike to the oark and back home. She lives 2 3/10 miles from the park . How many miles did Marissa ride her bike
Oduvanchick [21]

will she would have rode 4 3/5 miles in all.

2 3/10+2 3/10=4 3/5

that is 2 3/10 there and 2 3/10 back so you would add that together.

MILES IN ALL 4 3/5

Hope this helps
