The amount people pay for cable service varies quite a bit but the mean monthly fee is $142 and the standard deviation is $29. t

he distribution is not normal many people pay about $76 for basic cable and about $160 for premium service but some pay much more. a sample survey is designed to ask a simple random sample of 1,500 cable service customers how much they pay. let x hat be the mean amount paid.
Part a: what are the mean an standard deviation of the sample distribution of x hat show your work and justify your reasoning.
Part b: what is the shape of the sampling distribution of x hat justify your answer.
Part C: what is the probability that the average cable service paid by the sample of cable service customers will exceed $143? show your work.

Answer:

a) By the Central Limit Theorem, the mean is $142 and the standard deviation is $0.7488.

b) By the Central Limit Theorem, approximately normal.

c) 0.0901 = 9.01% probability that the average cable service paid by the sample of cable service customers will exceed $143

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand 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}}.

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

The mean monthly fee is $142 and the standard deviation is $29.

This means that \mu = 142, \sigma = 29

Part a: what are the mean an standard deviation of the sample distribution of x hat show your work and justify your reasoning.

Sample of 1500(larger than 30).

By the Central Limit Theorem

The mean is $142

The standard deviation is s = \frac{29}{\sqrt{1500}} = 0.7488

Part b: what is the shape of the sampling distribution of x hat justify your answer.

By the Central Limit Theorem, approximately normal.

Part C: what is the probability that the average cable service paid by the sample of cable service customers will exceed $143?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 143. So

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

Z = \frac{143 - 142}{0.7488}

Z = 1.34

Z = 1.34 has a pvalue of 0.9099

1 - 0.9099 = 0.0901

0.0901 = 9.01% probability that the average cable service paid by the sample of cable service customers will exceed $143

Vlad1618 [11]

increase = 13.25 - 12.50 \\ increase = 0.75 \: dollars

12.50 = 100\% \\ 0.75 = x\%

12.50x = 100(0.75) \\ x =  \frac{100(0.75)}{12.50} =   \frac{75}{12.5}  = 6\%

Shannon uses 30 inches of ribbon to make one bow how many feet of ribbon are needed to make 10 bows
coldgirl [10]
First, we need to calculate the amount of ribbon in inches, and then convert it into feet. 

Since 30 inches of ribbon is used in one bow, to make 10 bows, we need multiply:

30 x 10 = 300

Now, we need to convert the inches to feet.

300 in = 25 ft

Our answer is 25 ft of ribbon. 

Hope this helped!

True or false
seropon [69]
It depends. Some functions can have inverses that are also functions, such as the function y = x. However, a function like y = x^2 would not have an inverse that is also a function.
