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

A motorcycle make 100 revelation in moving a distance of 220m find the diameter of the wheel​
Natalija [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If it goes 220 meters and has made 100 revolutions that means that each revolution is 220 meters / 100 = 2.2 meters.

That's the same thing as saying that the wheel has a circumference of 2.2 meters.

Circumference = 2*pi * r = pi * d

2 = pi * d

2 = 3.14 * d

2/3.14 = d

d = 0.6369 meters

a blue print of a house is drawn using a scale of 1/4 in=3 ft. If the bedroom of the actual house is 16 in by 12 in, what are th
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

64 feet × 48 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Dimensions refers to the measurements of the house including length and breadth of the house.

Given:a blue print of a house is drawn using a scale of \frac{1}{4}\,in=3\,ft

To find:the dimensions of the bedroom on the blueprint

Solution:

Length of the bedroom  = 16 in

So, length of the bedroom in the blueprint = 16×4=64 feet

Breadth of the bedroom = 12 in

So, breadth of the bedroom in the blueprint = 12×4 = 48 feet

Therefore, dimensions of the bedroom in the blue print = 64 feet × 48 feet

Hair colors are an example of which type of data?
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

Nominal data are used to label variables without any quantitative value. Common examples include male/female (albeit somewhat outdated), hair color, nationalities, names of people, and so on. In plain English: basically, they're labels (and nominal comes from "name" to help you remember). You have brown hair (or brown eyes).
