Answer: $g^{-1}(x) = \frac{1-4x}{x}$

Domain of the inverse is any real number but x cannot equal zero

Domain in set builder notation = $\{x | x\in\mathbb{R} , \ x \ne 0\}$

Domain in interval notation = $(-\infty, 0) \cup (0, \infty)$

================================================

Let's make h(x) be the inverse of g(x)

g(x) = 1/(x+4) is the same as y = 1/(x+4).

To find the inverse, we swap x and y, then solve for y like so....

y = 1/(x+4)

x = 1/(y+4) .... x and y swap

x(y+4) = 1

xy+4x = 1

xy = 1-4x

y = (1-4x)/x

h(x) = (1-4x)/x is the inverse of g(x)

We can verify this by showing that g(h(x)) = x and h(g(x)) = x. I'll leave that for you to confirm.

The domain of h(x) is the set of real numbers x such that x cannot be 0. So x can be anything but 0. In set builder notation, we would say $\{x | x\in\mathbb{R} , \ x \ne 0\}$ and in interval notation that is $(-\infty, 0) \cup (0, \infty)$

We kick out x = 0 so that (1-4x)/x doesn't have any division by zero errors.

Answer:

The probability is 0.789

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .
