Answer:

x = 4 and y = - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

note that the product of a complex number and it's conjugate is real

That is

(a + bi)(a - bi) where a, b are real

= a² - abi + abi - b²i²

= a² + b² ← a real number

For (4 + 5i)(x + yi) to be real

we require (x + yi) to be the conjugate of 4 + 5i , that is 4 - 5i

(4 + 5i)(4 - 5i) ⇒ x = 4 and y = - 5

Answer:

35.2% probability that the sample mean will be 246 pages or more

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 $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .
