A population of monkeys' tail lengths is normally distributed with a mean of 25 cm with a standard deviation of 8 cm. I am prepa

ring to take a sample of size 256 from this population, and record the tail length of each monkey in my sample. What is the probability that the mean of my sample will be between 24 and 25 cm?

Answer:

<em>The probability that the mean of my sample will be between 24 and 25 cm</em>

<em>P(24 ≤X⁻≤25) = 0.4772</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Step(i)</em></u>:-

<em>Given mean of the Population  'μ'= 25c.m</em>

<em>Given standard deviation of the Population 'σ' = 8c.m</em>

<em>Given sample size 'n' = 256</em>

<em>Let X₁ = 24</em>

<em></em>Z_{1}  = \frac{x_{1}-mean }{\frac{S.D}{\sqrt{n} } } = \frac{24-25}{\frac{8}{\sqrt{256} } } =  -2<em></em>

<em>Let X₂ = 25</em>

<em></em>Z_{2}  = \frac{x_{2}-mean }{\frac{S.D}{\sqrt{n} } } = \frac{25-25}{\frac{8}{\sqrt{256} } } = 0<em></em>

<u><em>Step(ii)</em></u><em>:-</em>

<em>The probability that the mean of my sample will be between 24 and 25 cm</em>

<em>P(24 ≤X⁻≤25) = P(-2≤ Z ≤0)</em>

                     = P( Z≤0) - P(Z≤-2)

                     = 0.5 + A(0) - (0.5- A(-2))

                     = A(0) + A(2)        ( ∵A(-2) =A(2)

                     = 0.000+ 0.4772

                     = 0.4772

<u><em>Final answer</em></u>:-

<em>The probability that the mean of my sample will be between 24 and 25 cm</em>

<em>P(24 ≤X⁻≤25) = 0.4772</em>

A circle has a radius of 5p6q3 cm. The area of the circle can be found using the formula A = πr2. What is the area of this circl
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

25p^12q^6πcm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the area of the circle expressed as;

A = πr^2

Given

r = 5p^6q^3 cm

Substitute into the formula

A = π(5p^6q^3 )²

A = π(25p^12q^6)

A = 25p^12q^6πcm²

hence the area of this circle in square centimeters is 25p^12q^6πcm²
