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.

Answer:

21

ctto JBarnum

Step-by-step explanation:

P+11=(1/2)(P-13)^2

P+11=(1/2)(P^2-26p+169)

2(P+11)=(1/2)(2)(P^2-26p+169)

2P+22=P^2-26p+169

0=P^2-28p+147      ( -7 and -21)

(P-7)(P-21)=0

P=7,21                     (cant be 7 as 13 years from 7 is negative so peter is 21)

checking:

21+11=32

32=(1/2)(21-13)^2

32=(1/2)(8)^2

32=(1/2)64

32=32

correct

Suppose a triangle has sides a, b, and c, and the angle opposite the side of length b is obtuse. What must be true?
anyanavicka [17]

Answer: D.a^2 + b^2 < c^2

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given figure, we have an obtuse triangle which has sides a, b, and c, and the angle opposite the side of length b is obtuse.

∵ In a triangle, the side opposite to the largest angle is largest.

Thus, the largest side in then given obtuse triangle= c

The Pythagorean inequalities theorem says that If a triangle is obtuse than the square of the largest side is greater than the sum of square of other two sides.

Therefore, we have

a^2 + b^2 < c^2

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (-2,7) and has a slope of zero​
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

Equation of the line that passes through the point (-2,7) and has a slope of zero​ is given as

y=7

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of line is given as

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)   -----------(1)

Here

m=0 \ \ \ and \ \ \ (x_1, y_1) = (-2, 7)

Substituting values in equation (1)

y-7=0(x+2)\\y=7
