Which pair of angles shares ray a as a common side

To estimate the mean height μ of male students on your campus,you will measure an SRS of students. You know from government data

nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

a) $\sigma = 0.167$

b) We need a sample of at least 282 young men.

Step-by-step explanation:

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

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

This Zscore is how many standard deviations the value of the measure X 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.

(a) What standard deviation must x have so that 99.7% of allsamples give an x within one-half inch of μ?

To solve this problem, we use the 68-95-99.7 rule. This rule states that:

68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean.

99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

In this problem, we want 99.7% of all samples give X within one-half inch of $\mu$ . So $X - \mu = 0.5$ must have $Z = 3$ and $X - \mu = -0.5$ must have $Z = -3$ .

So

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

$3 = \frac{0.5}{\sigma}$

$3\sigma = 0.5$

$\sigma = \frac{0.5}{3}$

$\sigma = 0.167$

(b) How large an SRS do you need to reduce the standard deviationof x to the value you found in part (a)?

You know from government data that heights of young men are approximately Normal with standard deviation about 2.8 inches. This means that $\sigma = 2.8$

The standard deviation of a sample of n young man is given by the following formula

$s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

We want to have $s = 0.167$

$0.167 = \frac{2.8}{\sqrt{n}}$

$0.167\sqrt{n} = 2.8$

$\sqrt{n} = \frac{2.8}{0.167}$

$\sqrt{n} = 16.77$

$\sqrt{n}^{2} = 16.77^{2}$

$n = 281.23$

We need a sample of at least 282 young men.

Solve the following dividend problem.

brilliants [131]

A.

To get dividend per share, we need to divide total dividend by total numbers of shares outstanding.

Dividend per share = $\frac{40,000}{50,000}=0.8$ dollars.

B.

Since per share you get $0.8, for 100 shares you will get $0.8*100=80$ dollars.

Also, that is $\frac{80}{40,000}*100=0.2$ percent of the total dividends.

ANSWER:

A. $0.8 per share

B. $80 (and that is 0.2% of total dividend)

Between what two integer powers of 2 does 2√7 lie?

prisoha [69]

Answer:

Between 5 and 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Integers refer to positive whole numbers.

Firstly, we need to know the value of the surd

By calculating, the value of the surd is 5.29

What this mean is that the surd is between the values of 5 and 6

It is slightly greater than 5 and not up to 6
