Suppose monthly rental prices for a one-bedroom apartment in a large city has a distribution that is skewed to the right with a

population mean of $880 and a standard deviation of $50.
(a) Suppose a one-bedroom rental listing in this large city is selected at random. What can be said about the probability that the listed rent price will be at least $930?
(b) Suppose a random sample 30 one-bedroom rental listing in this large city will be selected, the rent price will be recorded for each listing, and the sample mean rent price will be computed. What can be said about the probability that the sample mean rent price will be greater than $900?

Answer:

a) Nothing, beause the distribution of the monthly rental prices are not normal.

b) 1.43% probability that the sample mean rent price will be greater than $900

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 random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the sample means with size n of at least 30 can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

(a) Suppose a one-bedroom rental listing in this large city is selected at random. What can be said about the probability that the listed rent price will be at least $930?

Nothing, beause the distribution of the monthly rental prices are not normal.

(b) Suppose a random sample 30 one-bedroom rental listing in this large city will be selected, the rent price will be recorded for each listing, and the sample mean rent price will be computed. What can be said about the probability that the sample mean rent price will be greater than $900?

Now we can apply the Central Limit Theorem.

\mu = 880, \sigma = 50, n = 30, s = \frac{50}{\sqrt{30}} = 9.1287

This probability is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 900.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

By the Central Limit Theorem

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

Z = \frac{900 - 880}{9.1287}

Z = 2.19

Z = 2.19 has a pvalue of 0.9857

1 - 0.9857 = 0.0143

1.43% probability that the sample mean rent price will be greater than $900

ONE EIGHTH OF TONYS BOOKS ARE MYSTERY BOOKS. HE HAS 3 BOOKS. HOW MANY BOOKS DOES TONY HAVE IN ALL
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:  If he has 3 mystery books, and those are 1/8 of his whole collection, he has 24 books.

Step-by-step explanation:

3 = 1/8 × x

multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 1/8 which is 8/1 ("flipped fraction")

8 × 3 = 8/1(1/8) x  <em>When you multiply a fraction by its reciprocal, it produces 1, so it "cancels" in the multiplication</em>

<em>24 = x </em>

<em>This may seem complicated, but understanding the process will help you solve more complicated questions like this in the future, I hope.</em>

Which solid has one face, zero lateral faces, one base, one vertex, and zero edges?
Ratling [72]
The correct answer is cone.

There's only one face, and only one vertex that leads to a single base. There are no edges because the base perimeter is not considered to be an edge because it's a vertex.

PLEASE HELP THIS IS IMPORTANT DONT TROLL ME PLZ
MrRa [10]

Answer:

5 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

So Zane starts at -25 meters, then, after 35 seconds, he makes it to the top. The questions is asking how high he climbed every 7 seconds. As we know, 7x5 is equal to 35. this means that we can divide 35 and 25 by 5 to get the answer. 25/5 is equal to 5, so that means he climbed 5 meters every 7 seconds. I hope this helps!

What is the equation of the following line written in slope intercept form? (-5,-1)
solmaris [256]

Answer:

\large\boxed{y=-\dfrac{2}{3}x-\dfrac{13}{3}}

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of an equation of a line:

y=mx+b

m - slope

b - y-intercept

The formula of a slope:

m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

From the graph we have two points (-5, -1) and (-2, -3).

<em>Look at the picture</em>.

Calculate the slope:

m=\dfrac{-3-(-1)}{-2-(-5)}=\dfrac{-2}{3}=-\dfrac{2}{3}

Put it to the equation in slope-intercept form:

y=-\dfrac{2}{3}x+b

We can't read the y-intercept from the graph. Therefore put the coordinates of the point (-5, -1) to the equation and calculate <em>b</em>:

-1=-\dfrac{2}{3}(-5)+b

-1=\dfrac{10}{3}+b         <em>subtract 10/3 from both sides</em>

-\dfrac{3}{3}-\dfrac{10}{3}=b\to b=-\dfrac{13}{3}

Finally:

y=-\dfrac{2}{3}x-\dfrac{13}{3}
