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.

How many twenty-fourths would five sixths equal
qwelly [4]
n\cdot \frac { 1 }{ 24 } =\frac { 5 }{ 6 } \\ \\ 24\cdot n\cdot \frac { 1 }{ 24 } =\frac { 5 }{ 6 } \cdot 24

\\ \\ n=\frac { 5 }{ 6 } \left( 20+4 \right) \\ \\ n=\frac { 100 }{ 6 } +\frac { 20 }{ 6 } \\ \\ n=\frac { 120 }{ 6 } \\ \\ n=20

What is the probability that a student eye color would be blue if their grade in physics is A? A two way table is presented belo
Zarrin [17]
The <u>correct answer</u> is:

16/45.

Explanation:

We want the probability that a student's eye color is blue if they made an A in physics.  This means we look at the column for students with an A.

There are 32 students with blue eyes in the A column.

This is out of 32+58=90 students that made an A.

This makes the probability 32/90, which simplifies to 16/45.
