The number of accidents per week at a hazardous intersection varies with mean 2.2 and standard deviation 1.4. The distribution o

f this particular variable is very right skewed.(a) Suppose we let (X-bar) be the mean number of accidents per week at the intersection during 9 randomly chosen weeks. What is the probability that (X-bar) is less than 2?(b) Now let X be the mean number of accidents per week at the intersection during a year (52 weeks). What is the probability that X is less than 2?

Answer:

The probability that sample mean is less than 2  is 0.1423.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let <em>X</em> denote the number of accidents per week at a hazardous intersection.

It is provided that the mean and standard deviation of <em>X</em> are, <em>μ</em> = 2.2 and <em>σ</em> = 1.4.

(a)

According to the Central Limit Theorem if an unknown population is selected with mean μ and standard deviation σ and appropriately huge random samples (n > 30) are selected from this population with replacement, then the distribution of the sample means will be approximately normally.  

Then, the mean of the sample means is given by,

\mu_{\bar x}=\mu

And the standard deviation of the sample means is given by,

\sigma_{\bar x}=\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

As the sample size is not large enough, i.e. <em>n</em> = 9 < 30, the Central Limit Theorem cannot be applied to approximate the sampling distribution of the mean number of accidents per week at the intersection.

And since the distribution of <em>X</em> is not specified, the probability cannot be computed.

(b)

In this case, the sample size is large enough, i.e. <em>n</em> = 52 > 30, the Central Limit Theorem can be applied to approximate the sampling distribution of the mean number of accidents per week at the intersection.

Compute the probability that sample mean is less than 2 as follows:

P(\bar X

Thus, the probability that sample mean is less than 2  is 0.1423.

A grocery delivery service has 22 members. Each member pays monthly dues of $12.80
slava [35]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

If 9 members paid on the first day, this means they did not pay on the third day

The remaining people (everyone but the 9) paid on the third day

Therefore we must subtract to find out how many members paid on the third day

22 - 9 = 13

Each of the 13 members paid $12.80 which means we must multiply

13 × 12.80 = 166.40

In total, the grocery store collected $166.40 on the third day of the month

Cory found a job listed in a classified that pays a yearly salary of $54,013. What is the biweekly
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

2077.42

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 52 weeks in a year, so there are 26 "biweekly" weeks in a year.

Cory receieves $54013 per year, so he gets 54013 / 26 dollars biweekly.

We can compute that number, getting 2077.42 dollars.
