3 0

Answer:

x=2 or x=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

x2−4=0

Step 1: Add 4 to both sides.

x2−4+4=0+4

x2=4

Step 2: Take square root.

x=±√4

x=2 or x=−2

A researcher reports survey results by stating that the standard error of the mean is 25 the population standard deviation is 40

bezimeni [28]

Answer:

a) A sample of 256 was used in this survey.

b) 45.14% probability that the point estimate was within ±15 of the population mean

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is solved using the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution

When the distribution is normal, we use 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 $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .
