A tablet PC contains 3217 music files. The distribution of file size is highly skewed with many small files. Suppose the true me

an file size of music and video files on the tab, μ = 2.30 MB, and also assume that the standard deviation for this population (σ )is 3.25 megabytes (MB). If you select a random sample of 50 files, explain why it may be reasonable to assume that the sample mean (x bar) is approximately normal even though the population distribution is highly skewed.

Answer:

Let X the random variable who represents the file sizeof music. We know the following info:

\mu =2.3,\sigma =3.25

We select a sample of n=50 nails. That represent the sample size.  

Since the sample size is large enough n >30, we can use the central limit theorem. From this 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 we can approximate the distribution of the sample mean as a normal distribution and no matter if the distribution for X is right skewed or no.

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 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".

Let X the random variable who represents the file sizeof music. We know the following info:

\mu =2.3,\sigma =3.25

We select a sample of n=50 nails. That represent the sample size.  

Since the sample size is large enough n >30, we can use the central limit theorem. From this theorem we know that the distribution for the sample mean \bar X is given by:

Answer:

The bottom of a river makes a V-shape that can be modeled with the absolute value function, d(h) = 1/5|h - 240| - 48, where d is the depth of the river bottom (in feet) and h is the horizontal distance to the left-hand shore (in feet).

Choose the function whose graph is given by:
wolverine [178]

<em>Greetings from Brasil...</em>

In a trigonometric function

F(X) = ±UD ± A.COS(Px + LR)

UD - move the graph to Up or Down (+ = up | - = down)

A - amplitude

P - period (period = 2π/P)

LR - move the graph to Left or Right (+ = left | - = right)

So:

A) F(X) = COS(X + 1)

standard cosine graph with 1 unit shift to the left

B) F(X) = COS(X) - 1 = -1 + COS(X)

standard cosine graph with 1 unit down

C) F(X) = COS(X - 1)

standard cosine graph with shift 1 unit to the right

D) F(X) = SEN(X - 1)

standard Sine graph with shift 1 unit to the right

Observing the graph we notice the sine function shifted 1 unit to the right, then

<h3>Option D</h3>

<em>(cosine star the curve in X and Y = zero. sine start the curve in Y = 1)</em>

To find the volume, you do area multiplied by thickness( or height)
In this example, you do (1/2*9*6)*10 which is 270
hope I helped ;)
