Answer:

a) Approximately normal.

b) The mean is 75 years and the standard deviation is 0.8485 years.

c) 0.9909 = 99.09% probability that the mean age exceeds 73 years

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 z-score 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 p-value, 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.

Sample of 50 retirees

This means that n = 50

Mean age and standard deviation are 75 and 6 years

This means that \mu = 75, \sigma = 6

a. Describe the shape of the sampling distribution of the sample mean in this case

By the Central Limit Theorem, approximately normal.

b. Find the mean and standard error of the sampling distribution of the sample mean.

By the Central Limit Theorem, the mean is 75 and the standard error is s = \frac{6}{\sqrt{50}} = 0.8485

c. What is the probability that the mean age exceeds 73 years?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 73.

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

Z = \frac{73 - 75}{0.8485}

Z = -2.36

Z = -2.36 has a pvalue of 0.0091

1 - 0.0091 = 0.9909

0.9909 = 99.09% probability that the mean age exceeds 73 years

Oliga [24]

Answer: Im not sure but i think its 120,960

Step-by-step explanation: i know that there is 2 of the 6-month periods in a year and multiplied that by 8 and got 16. Then i did 7000x.08=560 and then i added that to 7000 and got 7560. FInally i multiplied that by 16 and got 120,960.

Write an equation for the line, given that m= 0 and the y - intercept (0, -2)
stich3 [128]

Remember that the slope intercept formula is:

y = mx + b

m is the slope

b is the y-intercept

so...

m = 0

b = -2

^^^Plug these numbers into formula

y = 0*x - 2

y = 0 - 2

y = -2

Hope this helped!
