Consider a parent population with mean 75 and a standard deviation 7. The population doesn’t appear to have extreme skewness or

outliers.
a What are the mean and standard deviation of the distribution of sample means for n = 40?
b What’s the shape of the distribution? Explain your answer in terms of the Central Limit Theorem.
c What proportion of the sample means of size 40 would you expect to be 77 or less? If you use your calculator, show what you entered.
d Draw a sketch of the probability you found in part C.

Answer:

a) \bar X \sim N(\mu=375, \sigma={\bar X}=\frac{7}{\sqrt{40}}=1.107)

b) Since the sample size is large enough n>30 and the original distribution for the random variable X  doesn’t appear to have extreme skewness or outliers, the distribution for the sample mean would be bell shaped and symmetrical.

c) P(\bar X \leq 77)=P(Z

d) See figure attached

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 of interest. We know from the problem that the distribution for the random variable X is given by:

E(X) = 75

sd(X) = 7

We take a sample of n=40 . That represent the sample size

Part a

From the central limit theorem we know that the distribution for the sample mean \bar X is also normal and is given by:

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

\bar X \sim N(\mu=375, \sigma={\bar X}=\frac{7}{\sqrt{40}}=1.107)

Part b

Since the sample size is large enough n>30 and the original distribution for the random variable X  doesn’t appear to have extreme skewness or outliers, the distribution for the sample mean would be bell shaped and symmetrical.

Part c

In order to answer this question we can use the z score in order to find the probabilities, the formula given by:

z=\frac{\bar X- \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

And we want to find this probability:

P(\bar X \leq 77)=P(Z

We can us the following excel code: "=NORM.DIST(1.807,0,1,TRUE)"

Part d

See the figure attached.

Can I have help help on 22,24,26,28,30 please
Dmitriy789 [7]
I'll do 22 for you. 22, 24, 26, 28, and 30, are very similar to each other.

PROPORTIONS:
Draw it out.

5/7 = either c/6, or b/5. 
I'll do c/6
5/7 = c/6
solve for c
7c=30
c=30/7
now do the same thing to the remaining side, b.
there!

If line A contains Q(5,1) and is parallel to line MN with M(-2,4) and N(2,1), which ordered pair would be on the perpendicular t
vivado [14]
Your question does not say what were your options, therefore I will answer generically: in order to understand if a point (ordered pair) is contained in a line, you need to substitute the x-component of the pair in the equation of the line and see if the calculations give you the y-component of the pair.

Example:
Your line is <span> y = 4/3x + 1/3
Let's see if <span>(0, 0) and (2, 3) </span>belong to this line

y</span> = <span>4/3·0 + 1/3 = 1/3 </span>≠ 0
Therefore, the line does not contain (0, 0)

y = 4/3·2 + 1/3 = 9/3 = 3
Therefore, the line contains (2, 3)

Cari owns a horse farm and a horse trailer that can transport up to 8,000 pounds of livestock and tack. She travels with 5 horse
const2013 [10]

Answer:

5(1248 lb/horse + t lb) ≤ 8000 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

One way to do this is to find the average weight of the 5 horses:

It is:

6,240 lb

---------------- = 1248 lb/horse

  5 horses

and to this, for each horse, we must add t lbs tack.

Thus, 5(1248 lb/horse + t lb) ≤ 8000 lb

would be an appropriate inequality.

Please note that your question mentions "the following inequalities;" that means you are expected to share them!  Please do so next time.  Thanks.
