The mean life of a television set is 119119 months with a standard deviation of 1414 months. If a sample of 7474 televisions is

randomly selected, what is the probability that the sample mean would differ from the true mean by less than 1.11.1 months? Round your answer to four decimal places.

Answer:

0.5034 = 50.34% probability that the sample mean would differ from the true mean by less than 1.1 months

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 can be 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

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 119, \sigma = 14, n = 74, s = \frac{14}{\sqrt{74}} = 1.6275

What is the probability that the sample mean would differ from the true mean by less than 1.11 months?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 119 + 1.1 = 120.1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 119 - 1.1 = 117.9. So

X = 120.1

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

Z = \frac{120.1 - 119}{1.6275}

Z = 0.68

Z = 0.68 has a pvalue of 0.7517

X = 117.9

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

Z = \frac{117.9 - 119}{1.6275}

Z = -0.68

Z = -0.68 has a pvalue of 0.2483

0.7517 - 0.2483 = 0.5034

0.5034 = 50.34% probability that the sample mean would differ from the true mean by less than 1.1 months

4 + 6x + 5 = 7x Could someone help me? Thanks :) And could you also show how u did it
matrenka [14]

Answer:

x=9

Step-by-step explanation:

combine like terms

4+6x+5=7x

4+5=9

9+6x=7x

to get 6x with 7x subtract 6x from both sides as its positive

6x-6x=0

7x-6x=x

9=x

x=9

It takes 12 people 15 hours to complete and certain job.how many hours would it take 18 people, working at the same rate to comp
pochemuha

Answer:

2 Hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Required man hours to complete the full job = 12 *15

                                                                           =180 Man hours

Required man hours to complete the 2/5 of the job = 180/5

                                                                                      = 36 Man hours

if 18 peoples are working,

required hours to complete the 2/5 of the job = 36 /18

                                                                            = 2 hours

If two angles are both vertical and supplementary, can we determine the angles? Is it possible to be both vertical and complemen
Lorico [155]

Answer:

i. Two angles can be vertical and supplementary.

ii. Yes, we can determine the angles.

Step-by-step explanation:

When two angles are vertical, it implies that they are equal (with respect to vertical opposite property). While two angles are supplementary if and only if they add up to 180 degrees .

It is not mandatory for the two angles to be beside each other so as to be supplementary. So that in this special case, the only measure of angles that can be both vertical and supplementary is 90 degrees .

This answer is right. Please mark Brainliest!
