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

tangare [24]

Answer:

See Below

Step-by-step explanation:

First, isolate x. To do that add 3.5 to each side

x - 3.5 =  -3.1

  +3.5    +3.5

x= 0.4

What is the initial value of the function:<br> f(x)=3/2(2)^x
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

the initial value -- f(0) -- results in a value of 1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

f(0) = \frac{3}{2} · 2^{x}     (any value raised to the power of zero equals one)

f(0) = \frac{3}{2} · 1

f(0) = 3/2 or 1.5
