Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

To investigate the relationship between age and annual medical expenses a random sample of 400 individuals was taken.

The sample is expected to be representative of the entire population.

a.

The variable of interest is X: the age of an individual in the city.

The standard deviation is known to be δ= 16

Applying the Central Limit Theorem we can approximate the distribution of the sampling distribution to normal.

Using this approximation you can use the standard normal distribution Z= \frac{X[bar]-Mu}{\frac{Sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }≈N(0;1)

P(μ-1≤X[bar]≤μ+1)= P(X[bar]≤μ+1)-P(X[bar]≤μ-1)

Now using the standard normal distribution you have to standardize both terms:

P(X[bar]≤μ+1)= P(Z≤[(μ+1)-μ]/(σ/√n))= P(Z≤(μ-μ+1)/(15/√400))= P(Z≤1/(15/√400))= P(Z≤1.33)

P(X[bar]≤μ-1)= P(Z≤[(μ-1)-μ]/(σ/√n))= P(Z≤(μ-μ-1)/(15/√400))= P(Z≤-1/(15/√400))= P(Z≤-1.33)

As you see there is no need to know the actual value of the population mean since you have to subtract it when calculating the Z values.

P(Z≤1.33) - P(Z≤-1.33)= 0.90824 - 0.09176= 0.81648

I hope it helps!

Answer:

The probability is 0.789

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

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

In this problem, we have that:

\sigma = 16, n = 400, s = \frac{16}{\sqrt{400}} = 0.8

Find the probability that the mean age of the individuals sampled is within one year of the mean age for all individuals in the city.​

Using \mu = 30, this is the pvalue of Z when X = 31 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 29. So

X = 31

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

Z = \frac{31 - 30}{0.8}

Z = 1.25

Z = 1.25 has a pvalue of 0.8944

X = 29

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

Z = \frac{29 - 30}{0.8}

Z = -1.25

Z = -1.25 has a pvalue of 0.1056

0.8944 - 0.1056 = 0.7888

Rounded to three decimal places, 0.789

The probability is 0.789

A certain bridge arch is in the shape of half an ellipse 106 feet wide and 33.9 feet high. At what horizontal distance from the
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

The horizontal distance from the center is 49.3883 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of an ellipse is equal to:

\frac{x^2}{a^{2} } +\frac{y^2}{b^{2} } =1

Where a is the half of the wide, b is the high of the ellipse, x is the horizontal distance from the center and y is the height of the ellipse at that distance.

Then, replacing a by 106/2 and b by 33.9, we get:

\frac{x^2}{53^{2} } +\frac{y^2}{33.9^{2} } =1\\\frac{x^2}{2809} +\frac{y^2}{1149.21} =1

Therefore, the horizontal distances from the center of the arch where the height is equal to 12.3 feet is calculated replacing y by 12.3 and solving for x as:

\frac{x^2}{2809} +\frac{y^2}{1149.21} =1\\\frac{x^2}{2809} +\frac{12.3^2}{1149.21} =1\\\\\frac{x^2}{2809}=1-\frac{12.3^2}{1149.21}\\\\x^{2} =2809(0.8684)\\x=\sqrt{2809(0.8684)}\\x=49.3883

So, the horizontal distance from the center is 49.3883 feet

Verdich [7]

Answer:

The line does not intersect the curve

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that we are looking for the points of intersection of

{x}^{2}  +  {y}^{2}  = 25

and

2x + y = 25

We make y the subject in the second equation to get:

y = 25 - 2x

When we substitute into the first equation:

{x}^{2}  +  {(25 -2 x)}^{2}  = 25

Let us expand to get:

{x}^{2}  + 625 - 100x + 4 {x}^{2}  = 25

We obtain the standard form

5 {x}^{2}  - 100x + 600 = 0

Divide through by 5

{x}^{2}  - 20x + 120 = 0

The discriminant is

{( - 20)}^{2}  - 4 \times 1 \times 120 =  - 80

Hence the quadratic equation has no real roots.

This means the line and point has no point of intersection.

Suppose you are managing 17 employees, and you need to form three teams to work on different projects. assume that all employees
Korvikt [17]
To form the first group, we can choose from a group of 17 people.
\text{First group: } ^{17}C_6 = 12376

To form the next group, we need to consider how many people are left (17 - 6 = 11)
So, from a group of 11 people, we can have 3 people in it.
\text{Second group: } ^{11}C_3 = 165

There is only one way to group the last 8 people. Thus, they are going to be 1 group.

BUT we would have overcounted because of the fact that they can be chosen in different ways. This is because they are not distinct groups or ordered groups. For example, the third group can be chosen first, the second can be chosen last, etc.

So, to counter this, we need to divide by 3!

\text{Total arrangements: }\frac{12376 \cdot 165}{3!} = 340340

There are 340, 340 ways.
