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 square piece of tissue paper has a perimeter of 164 centimeters. How long is each side of the tissue paper?​
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

s = 41 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Since all the sides on a square are equal, we can use this formula for perimeter:  P = 4s

Plugging in 164 gives us 164 = 4s, where solving for s gives us s = 41

A triangle has angle measures of 104 and 22 what is the measure of the third angle?
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

54 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

All triangles equal 180 degrees. So, 180 minus 104 minus 22 equals 54. Since you can add 54, 104, and 22 together to get 180, that means that is the correct answer.

Question 4 i need help on!!
MrMuchimi

Answer:

C  20

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up equations:

Laguna's Truck Rentals

y = 2x + 20

Where x is the number of miles driven and y is the total price

<em>How did we get to this equation?</em>

Well, the company charges $2 for every mile driven. Therefore, by multiplying 2 and x, you will find the price paid per mile. The 20 (which represents $20) is the one-time payment you pay for simply using the service.

Salvatori's Truck Rentals

y = 3x

Where x is the number of miles driven and y is the total price

<em>How did we get to this equation?</em>

For this company, you only pay for how many miles you drive. There isn't a one-time payment like there is for Laguna's Truck Rentals. Therefore, you only need to multiply the price per mile ($3) by the number of miles driven (x).

Set the equations equal to each other:

2x + 20 = 3x

<em>Why would you do this?</em>

We need to set the equations equal to each other because we need to find the point at which the prices are the same. When two things are the same, they are equal. Therefore, we get rid of the y variable (which represents the total price) because we want to find the value of x when the equations are equal to one another.

Solve:

2x + 20 = 3x

Subtract 2x on both sides:

2x + 20 = 3x

-2x           -2x

20 = x

When x is equal to 20, or when the number of miles driven is 20, the total price of the Truck Rental services is the same.

Hope this helps :)

y=f(x) is odd (f(-x)=-f(x)) and f(x&gt;0) = x^2-5x-12, x is not = to 0. What points does the line f(x)=12 go through.
solmaris [256]
<span>f(x<0)=-f(x>0)=-x^2+5x+12 When x>0, x^2-5x-12=12, x=8, y=12 Therefore, f(x)=12 goes through point (8,12).</span>
