Answer:

0.0013 = 0.13% probability that the sample mean will be more than 26.

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 normal distributions 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 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.

The average age of men at the time of their first marriage is 24.8 years. Suppose the standard deviation is 2.8 years.

This means that \mu = 24.8, \sigma = 2.8

Forty-nine married males are selected at random and asked the age at which they were first married.

This means that n = 49, s = \frac{2.8}{\sqrt{49}} = 0.4

Find the probability that the sample mean will be more than 26.

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 26. So

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

Z = \frac{26 - 24.8}{0.4}

Z = 3

Z = 3 has a pvalue of 0.9987

1 - 0.9987 = 0.0013

0.0013 = 0.13% probability that the sample mean will be more than 26.

Bobby is testing the effectiveness of a new cough medication. There are 100 people with a cough in the study. Seventy patients r
Tresset [83]

Answer:

0.665

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:  100 people are split into two groups 70 and 30.  I group is given cough syrup treatment but second group did not.

Prob for a person to be in the cough medication group = 0.70

Out of people who received medication, 34% did not have cough

Prob for a person to be in cough medication and did not have cough

=\frac{0.70(34)}{60}=0.397


Prob for a person to be not in cough medication and did not have cough

=\frac{0.3(20)}{30}=0.20

Probability for a person not to have cough

= P(M1C')+P(M2C')

where M1 = event of having medication and M2 = not having medication and C' not having cough

This is because M1 and M2 are mutually exclusive and exhaustive

SO P(C') = 0.397+0.2=0.597

Hence required prob =P(M1/C') = \frac{0.397}{0.597}=0.665

Which one do i choose fam? I suck at geometry
Viefleur [7K]
The best choice would probably be the third option from the top. Since by using the distance formula you can solve for the length or distance of each of the sides of the triangle, and check to see if it is equal. As would be in an equilateral triangle.

Slope wouldn’t be best for the last leg or bottom leg as there is no change in y and x.
