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.

ILL GIVE BRAINLIEST IF CORRECT!! The average of x+6, 6x+2, and 2x+7 is 4x-7. What is x?
mina [271]

Answer:

35/3

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{x+6 + 6x+2+x+6}{3} =4x-7

Simplify to get

9x+14=3(4x-7)

35=3x

x=35/3 or 11.66
