According to the last census (2010), the mean number of people per household in the United States is LaTeX: \mu = 2.58 Assume a

standard deviation of LaTeX: \sigma = 0.75σ = 0.75. You plan to take a random sample of 110 households, what is the probability the sample mean household size is between 2.5 and 2.66 people? (round your probabilities to three decimal places)

Answer:

P(2.50 < Xbar < 2.66) = 0.046

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Population Mean, \mu = 2.58 and Standard deviation, \sigma = 0.75

Also, a random sample (n) of 110 households is taken.

Let Xbar = sample mean household size

The z score probability distribution for sample mean is give by;

             Z = \frac{Xbar-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } ~ N(0,1)

So, probability that the sample mean household size is between 2.50 and 2.66 people = P(2.50 < Xbar < 2.66)

P(2.50 < Xbar < 2.66) = P(Xbar < 2.66) - P(Xbar \leq 2.50)

P(Xbar < 2.66) = P( \frac{Xbar-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } < \frac{2.66-2.78}{\frac{0.75}{\sqrt{110} } } ) = P(Z < -1.68) = 1 - P(Z  1.68)

                                                              = 1 - 0.95352 = 0.04648

P(Xbar \leq 2.50) = P( \frac{Xbar-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } \leq \frac{2.50-2.78}{\frac{0.75}{\sqrt{110} } }  ) = P(Z \leq  -3.92) = 1 - P(Z < 3.92)

                                                              = 1 - 0.99996 = 0.00004  

Therefore, P(2.50 < Xbar < 2.66) = 0.04648 - 0.00004 = 0.046

1252 divided by 48 equals 26 r 4
Ksenya-84 [330]
I assume that in this question, you are asked to evaluate the value(s) of r. To answer that question, dividing 1252 by 48 gives us 26.0833 or 26. Mathematically expressing the solution,
                                         26 = 26r^4
Then, divide the equation by 26, giving us 1 = r^4. Evaluate r. This will give us answers of +-1.
