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>

Juan has 20 books to sell. He sells the books for $15 each. The amount of money Juan makes from selling booka is represented by
lana [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Juan has 20 books to sell. He sells the books for $15 each.

The range of the function is the set of all possible values of the dependent variable. The dependent variable here is the amount of money that is made and this amount depends on

the number of books, x sold

The amount of money Juan makes from selling books is represented by a fucntion. f(x)=15x

The maximum amount that can be made from 20 books at a rate of $15 each would be 20×15 = $300

The minimum amount that fan be made is $0 and this is when no book is sold. Let y = f(x). So the range is

0 lesser than or equal to y lesser than or equal to 300

​Joe's annual income has been increasing each year by the same dollar amount. The first year his income was ​$17 comma 90017,900
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

In 17th year, his income was $30,700.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the income has been increasing each year by the same dollar amount. It means it is linear function.

Income in first year = $17,900

Income in 4th year = $20,300

Let y be the income at x year.

It means the line passes through the point (1,17900) and (4,20300).

If a line passes through two points (x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2), then the equation of line is

y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)

The equation of line is

y-17900=\frac{20300-17900}{4-1}(x-1)

y-17900=\frac{2400}{3}(x-1)

y-17900=800(x-1)

y-17900=800x-800

Add 17900 on both sides.

y=800x-800+17900

y=800x+17100

The income equation is y=800x+17100.

Substitute y=30,700 in the above equation.

30700=800x+17100

Subtract 17100 from both sides.

30700-17100=800x

13600=800x

Divide both sides by 800.

\frac{13600}{800}=x

17=x

Therefore, in 17th year his income was $30,700.

For every 1 litre of water used to make a medicine, 269ml of sucrose and 61ml of saline solution are used. Express the amount of
Burka [1]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1 litre = 1000 ml

water : Sucrose : Saline = 1000 : 269 : 61

This is simplest form. We cannot reduce this as 61 is a prime number and 1000; 269 will not come in 61th table or

We can say 100 ; 269 ; 61 don't have common term
