Answer:

<em>The flour will last for about 11 days.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose, the flour will last for  x days.

She uses 15 pounds of flour each day. So, <u>the total amount of flour used in x days</u> = 15x pounds.

Given that, she has 157.86 pound of flour. So, the equation will be......

15x= 157.86\\ \\ x= \frac{157.86}{15}=10.524 \approx 11

Thus, the flour will last for about 11 days.

A small town has 2000 families. The average number of children per family is mu = 2.5, with a standard deviation sigma = 1.7. A
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

Let X the random variable that represent the number of children per fammili of a population, and for this case we know the following info:

Where \mu=2.5 and \sigma=1.7

We select a sample of n =64 >30 and we can apply the central limit theorem. From the central limit theorem we know that the distribution for the sample mean \bar X is given by:

\bar X \sim N(\mu, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})

And for this case the standard error would be:

\sigma_{\bar X} = \frac{1.7}{\sqrt{64}}= 0.2125

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

The central limit theorem states that "if we have a population with mean μ and standard deviation σ and take sufficiently large random samples from the population with replacement, then the distribution of the sample means will be approximately normally distributed. This will hold true regardless of whether the source population is normal or skewed, provided the sample size is sufficiently large".

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the number of children per fammili of a population, and for this case we know the following info:

Where \mu=2.5 and \sigma=1.7

We select a sample of n =64 >30 and we can apply the central limit theorem. From the central limit theorem we know that the distribution for the sample mean \bar X is given by:

\bar X \sim N(\mu, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})

And for this case the standard error would be:

\sigma_{\bar X} = \frac{1.7}{\sqrt{64}}= 0.2125

Can anyone answer this question for me?
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

The answer is about 1.732, the exact form being \sqrt{3}.

Step-by-step explanation:

The square root of 12 is 3.4641. You then divide this by 2 and you get approximately 1.732. This in the exact form is \sqrt{3}.

Parallel to y = 1/5x-4 and goes through (10,-2) in point slope form
IgorC [24]

Answer:

y + 2 = \frac{1}{5} (x - 10)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = \frac{1}{5} x - 4 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = \frac{1}{5}

Parallel lines have equal slopes

The equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

Here (a, b ) = (10, - 2 ) , then

y - (- 2) = \frac{1}{5}(x - 10) , that is

y + 2 = \frac{1}{5}(x - 10) ← in point- slope form
