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

1) Suppose a rhombus has 12 cm sides and a 30° angle. Find the distance between the pair of opposite sides.
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

1) 6 cm

2) 117°

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Draw a picture of the rhombus.  The distance between opposite sides is the height of the rhombus.  If we draw the height at the vertex, we get a right triangle.  Using trigonometry:

sin 30° = h / 12

h = 12 sin 30°

h = 6 cm

2) Draw a picture of the rectangle.

∠KML is the angle the diagonal makes with the shorter side ML.  This angle is 54°.  ∠NKM is the angle the diagonal makes with the shorter side NK.  ∠KML and ∠NKM are alternate interior angles, so m∠NKM = 54°.

The angle bisector of angle ∠NKM divides the angle into two equal parts and intersects the longer side NM at point P.  So m∠PKM = 27°.

KLMN is a rectangle, so it has right angles.  That means ∠KML and ∠KMN are complementary.  So m∠KMN = 36°.

We now know the measures of two angles of triangle KPM.  Since angles of a triangle add up to 180°, we can find the measure of the third angle:

m∠KPM + 36° + 27° = 180°

m∠KPM = 117°
