Answer:

a)  X that is a distribution of number of years of education for​ self-employed individuals.

b) Mean = 15.1, Standard Deviation = 0.8

c) Mean = 15.1, Standard Deviation = 0.4

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

The population distribution of number of years of education for​ self-employed individuals in a certain region has a mean of 15.1 and a standard deviation of 4.8

a) The random variable is X that is a distribution of number of years of education for​ self-employed individuals.

b) According to central limit theorem, as the sample size increases the distribution of means approaches a normal distribution.

Thus, \bar{x} has a normal distribution with

\text{Mean} = 15.1\\\text{Srtandard Deviation} = \displaystyle\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{36}} = \frac{4.8}{\sqrt{36}} = 0.8

c) n = 144

\bar{x} has a normal distribution with

\text{Mean} = 15.1\\\text{Srtandard Deviation} = \displaystyle\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} = \frac{4.8}{\sqrt{144}} = 0.4

By increasing n, the standard deviation for distribution of mean reduced  by one half. Therefore, we see that quadrupling the sample size will reduce the standard deviation by one half.

love history [14]

Answer:

5.7

Step-by-step explanation:

pythagorean theorem

A^2 + B^2 = C^2

sub in

A^2 + 7^2 = 9^2

simplify

A^2 + 49 = 81

solve

A^2 = 32

solve further

A = \sqrt{32

use calculator and get:

5.65685

round and get:

X4 – 17x2 + 16 = 0 Rewrite the equation in terms of u
slavikrds [6]
You probably are interested in expressing the given equation as a quadratic equation in u, as it will make it easy to find the solutions.

Let u = x²
So,
u² = x⁴

So, the given equation can be written as:

u² - 17u + 16 = 0

Now the equation is quadratic in u and the solutions can be calculated using quadratic formula or factorization.
