The head of maintenance at XYZ Rent-A-Car believes that the mean number of miles between services is 2643 miles, with a standard

deviation of 368 miles. If he is correct, what is the probability that the mean of a sample of 44 cars would differ from the population mean by less than 51 miles

Answer:

P(2643-51< \bar X < 2643+51)= P(2592< \bar X

And we can use the z scoe formula given by:

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

And if we find the z score for the limits we got:

z = \frac{2592-2643}{\frac{368}{\sqrt{44}}}= -0.919

z = \frac{2694-2643}{\frac{368}{\sqrt{44}}}= 0.919

And this probability is equivalent to:

P(-0.919

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we can define the random variable X as "number of miles between services" and we know the following info given:

\mu = 2643 , \sigma = 368

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".

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

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

We select a random sample size of n =44. And we want to find this probability:

P(2643-51< \bar X < 2643+51)= P(2592< \bar X

And we can use the z scoe formula given by:

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

And if we find the z score for the limits we got:

z = \frac{2592-2643}{\frac{368}{\sqrt{44}}}= -0.919

z = \frac{2694-2643}{\frac{368}{\sqrt{44}}}= 0.919

And this probability is equivalent to:

P(-0.919

In the diagram the length of segment TR can be represented by 5x-4.
masya89 [10]

Answer: The correct option is D, i.e., 15 units.

Explanation:

It is given that the  length of segment TR can be represented by 5x-4.

From figure it is noticed that the side TR and RV is equal and the length of segment RV is 2x+5. So,

5x-4=2x+5

3x=9

x=3

The value of x is 3, so the length of side RV is,

2x+5=2(3)+5=11

In triangle TRS and angle VRS,

TR=VR

\angle TRS=\angle VRS=90^{\circ}

RS=RS (common side)

By SAS rule of congruence triangle,

\triangle TRS\cong\triangle VRS

Therefore the side TS and VS are congruent sides.

From figure it is noticed that the length of side TS is 6x-3, therefore the length of side VS is also 6x-3.

VS=6x-3=6(3)-3=15

Hence, the length of side VS is 15 units and option D is correct.

Home sizes in Anytown, USA have a mean of 2400 square feet and a standard deviation of 450 square feet. What is the probability
lesya [120]

Answer:

0.00084

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Mean,\mu=2400 square feet

Standard deviation, \sigma=450square feet

n=50

We have to find the probability that a random sample of 50 homes in Anytown, USA has mean square footage less than 2200 square feet.

P(x

P(x

Using the formula

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

P(x

P(X

Hence, the probability that a random sample of 50 homes in Anytown, USA has mean square footage less than 2200 square feet=0.00084
