Answer:

(a) The distribution of the sample mean (\bar x) is <em>N</em> (68, 4.74²).

(b) The value of P(\bar X is 0.7642.

(c) The value of P(\bar X\geq 69.1) is 0.3670.

Step-by-step explanation:

A random sample of size <em>n</em> = 10 is selected from a population.

Let the population be made up of the random variable <em>X</em>.

The mean and standard deviation of <em>X</em> are:

\mu=68\\\sigma=15

(a)

According to the Central Limit Theorem if we have a population with mean <em>μ</em> and standard deviation <em>σ</em> and we take appropriately huge random samples (<em>n</em> ≥ 30) from the population with replacement, then the distribution of the sample mean will be approximately normally distributed.

Since the sample selected is not large, i.e. <em>n</em> = 10 < 30, for the distribution of the sample mean will be approximately normally distributed, the population from which the sample is selected must be normally distributed.

Then, the mean of the distribution of the sample mean is given by,

\mu_{\bar x}=\mu=68

And the standard deviation of the distribution of the sample mean is given by,

\sigma_{\bar x}=\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}=\frac{15}{\sqrt{10}}=4.74

Thus, the distribution of the sample mean (\bar x) is <em>N</em> (68, 4.74²).

(b)

Compute the value of P(\bar X as follows:

P(\bar X

                    =P(Z

*Use a <em>z</em>-table for the probability.

Thus, the value of P(\bar X is 0.7642.

(c)

Compute the value of P(\bar X\geq 69.1) as follows:

Apply continuity correction as follows:

P(\bar X\geq 69.1)=P(\bar X> 69.1+0.5)

                    =P(\bar X>69.6)

                    =P(\frac{\bar X-\mu_{\bar x}}{\sigma_{\bar x}}>\frac{69.6-68}{4.74})

                    =P(Z>0.34)\\=1-P(Z

Thus, the value of P(\bar X\geq 69.1) is 0.3670.

What are the solutions of the equation x6 + 6x3 + 5 = 0? Use factoring to solve. mc017-1.jpg and x = 1 mc017-2.jpg and x = –1 mc
Wittaler [7]

We are given equation :x^6+6x^3+5=0

Use\:the\:rational\:root\:theorem

\mathrm{Therefore,\:we\:need\:to\:check\:the\:following\:rational\:numbers:\quad }\pm \frac{1,\:5}{1}

-\frac{1}{1}\mathrm{\:is\:a\:root\:of\:the\:expression,\:so\:factor\:out\:}x+1

\mathrm{Compute\:}\frac{x^6+6x^3+5}{x+1}\mathrm{\:to\:get\:the\:rest\:of\:the\:eqution:\quad }x^5-x^4+x^3+5x^2-5x+5

Therefore, final factored form it

x^6\:+\:6x^3\:+\:5=\left(x+1\right)\left(x^5-x^4+x^3+5x^2-5x+5\right)

We can't factor it more.

Therefore,

x+1=0.

x=-1.

Therefore, the real solution of the equation would be -1.
