A random sample of 81 automobiles traveling on a section of an interstate showed an average speed of 60 mph. The distribution of

speeds of all cars on this section of highway is normally distributed, with a standard deviation of 13.5 mph.

Answer:

Let X the random variable that represent the variable of interest of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(60,13.5)  

Where \mu=60 and \sigma=13.5

And for this case we select a sample size of n= 81. Since the distribution for X is normal then we know that the distribution for the sample mean \bar X is given by:

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

And the standard error of the mean would be:

\sigma_{\bar X} =\frac{13.5}{\sqrt{81}}= 1.5

4.1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the variable of interest of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(60,13.5)  

Where \mu=60 and \sigma=13.5

And for this case we select a sample size of n= 81. Since the distribution for X is normal then we know that the distribution for the sample mean \bar X is given by:

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

And the standard error of the mean would be:

\sigma_{\bar X} =\frac{13.5}{\sqrt{81}}= 1.5

Answer:

  135°

Step-by-step explanation:

The reference angle appears to be about 45°, so a reasonable estimate of the angle size is 180° -45° = 135°.

__

You can do an eyeball comparison with the figure attached to see that the angle is about 135°

This is also the value I see when I place my protractor against the screen.

Determine the nth term for each of the following sequences: 2,5,8,11,14,..
Tanya [424]
To determine the nth term, we must create a function.

f(n) = 1st term + common difference (n - 1)

n = term you are looking for
1st term = 1st number in the sequence
common difference = the difference between two consecutive numbers in the sequence.

based on the above sequence, the 1st term is 2, its common difference is 3.

f(n) = 2 + 3(n-1)

Assuming we are looking for the 5th term
f(5) = 2 + 3(5-1)
       = 2 + 3(4)
       = 2 + 12
f(5) = 14   as you can see in the above sequence 14 is the 5th term.

For any other value of the nth term, simply substitute n by the number of the term and solve the equation.
