Answer:

Z = 1

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 establishes 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.

Mean (mu) that equals 100 with a standard deviation (sigma) of 18

\mu = 100, \sigma = 18

Sample of 9:

This means that n = 9, s = \frac{18}{\sqrt{9}} = 6

What will be the computed z-score with a sample mean (x-bar) of 106?

This is Z when X = 106. So

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

Z = \frac{106 - 100}{6}

Z = 1

So Z = 1 is the answer.

Which of the following is the same as 1.207 x 107?
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

C. Or the third option

Step-by-step explanation:

When you multiply something by a power of ten the decimal moves either left or right by the exponent. That probably sounds really confusing but here are some examples. If you multiply a number by 10^4 the decimal will move right 4 places making the number larger. Meanwhile if you multiplied it by 10^-4  it will move to the left 4 places making the number smaller. In your case, when you multiply 1.207 by 10^7, the decimal moves  places to the right which makes it 12,070,000

2 complementary angles are in the ratio 7:8.find the angles
slavikrds [6]
Complementary angles add up to 90 degrees
7:8....added = 15

7/15 * 90 = 630/15 = 42 <== one angle is 42 degrees
8/15 * 90 = 720/15 = 48 <== other angle is 48 degrees

On Monday a company stock closed at a price of $30.80 per share. On Tuesday it increased by $1.20 per share. On Wednesday it fel
aleksley [76]
Tuesday:
30.80 + 1.20 = 32.00

Falling by 6.25% means it ends up being 93.75% of what it used to be (100% - 6.25% = 93.75%)

Wednesday:
32.00 * 0.9375 = 30

Thursday:
30 * 0.96 = 28.8

Friday:
28.8 * 1.025 = 29.52

Net change means you subtract to get the difference.

Net change = Final - initial
= 29.52 - 30.80
= -1.28

The stock fell $1.28
