A study on the latest fad diet claimed that the amounts of weight lost by all people on this diet had a mean of 23.2 pounds and

a standard deviation of 6.6 pounds. Step 2 of 2 : If a sampling distribution is created using samples of the amounts of weight lost by 65 people on this diet, what would be the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of sample means

Answer:

The standard deviation of the sampling distribution of sample means would be 0.8186.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Mean of population=23.2 pounds

Standard deviation of population=6.6 pounds

n=65

We have to find the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of sample means.

We know that standard deviation of the sampling distribution of sample means

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

Using the formula

The standard deviation of the sampling distribution of sample means

= $\frac{6.6}{\sqrt{65}}$

$=0.8186$

Hence, the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of sample means would be 0.8186.

The volume of a cone is 20pi cubic meters. What is the volume of a cylinder with the same base and height?

Sergeu [11.5K]

Recall, the volume of a cone is 1/3pi times radius of base times height.
$V cone_{} = \frac{1}{3} * \pi *r^2*h$

Volume of a cylinder is the same but without the 1/3
$V cyl_{} = \pi*r^2*h$

It gives you the cone volume 20pi and that the radius and height of both of them are the same values.
$20 \pi= \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2h$
$V cyl_{}= \pi r^2h$

since it says the radius and height are the same for both , you can equate the two, you can solve both equations for r^2*h and then equate what is on the other side.
$60=r^2h
$
$\frac{V}{ \pi } =r^2h$

so
$60= \frac{V}{ \pi }$
$V=60 \pi$

Answer:

Its Choice c.

Step-by-step explanation:

a = 60 degrees ( because of the arc = 60 degrees).

b = 1/2 * 60 = 30 degrees.

A study of long-distance phone calls made from General Electric Corporate Headquarters in Fairfield, Connecticut, revealed the l

Katena32 [7]

Answer:

(a) The fraction of the calls last between 4.50 and 5.30 minutes is 0.3729.

(b) The fraction of the calls last more than 5.30 minutes is 0.1271.

(c) The fraction of the calls last between 5.30 and 6.00 minutes is 0.1109.

(d) The fraction of the calls last between 4.00 and 6.00 minutes is 0.745.

(e) The time is 5.65 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the mean length of time per call was 4.5 minutes and the standard deviation was 0.70 minutes.

Let X = <u><em>the length of the calls, in minutes.</em></u>

So, X ~ Normal( $\mu=4.5,\sigma^{2} =0.70^{2}$ )

The z-score probability distribution for the normal distribution is given by;

Z = $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\mu$ = population mean time = 4.5 minutes

$\sigma$ = standard deviation = 0.7 minutes

(a) The fraction of the calls last between 4.50 and 5.30 minutes is given by = P(4.50 min < X < 5.30 min) = P(X < 5.30 min) - P(X $\leq$ 4.50 min)

P(X < 5.30 min) = P( $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ < $\frac{5.30-4.5}{0.7}$ ) = P(Z < 1.14) = 0.8729

P(X $\leq$ 4.50 min) = P( $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ $\leq$ $\frac{4.5-4.5}{0.7}$ ) = P(Z $\leq$ 0) = 0.50

The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 1.14 and x = 0 in the z table which has an area of 0.8729 and 0.50 respectively.

Therefore, P(4.50 min < X < 5.30 min) = 0.8729 - 0.50 = <u>0.3729</u>.

(b) The fraction of the calls last more than 5.30 minutes is given by = P(X > 5.30 minutes)

P(X > 5.30 min) = P( $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ > $\frac{5.30-4.5}{0.7}$ ) = P(Z > 1.14) = 1 - P(Z $\leq$ 1.14)

= 1 - 0.8729 = <u>0.1271</u>

The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 1.14 in the z table which has an area of 0.8729.

(c) The fraction of the calls last between 5.30 and 6.00 minutes is given by = P(5.30 min < X < 6.00 min) = P(X < 6.00 min) - P(X $\leq$ 5.30 min)

P(X < 6.00 min) = P( $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ < $\frac{6-4.5}{0.7}$ ) = P(Z < 2.14) = 0.9838

P(X $\leq$ 5.30 min) = P( $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ $\leq$ $\frac{5.30-4.5}{0.7}$ ) = P(Z $\leq$ 1.14) = 0.8729

The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 2.14 and x = 1.14 in the z table which has an area of 0.9838 and 0.8729 respectively.

Therefore, P(4.50 min < X < 5.30 min) = 0.9838 - 0.8729 = <u>0.1109</u>.

(d) The fraction of the calls last between 4.00 and 6.00 minutes is given by = P(4.00 min < X < 6.00 min) = P(X < 6.00 min) - P(X $\leq$ 4.00 min)

P(X < 6.00 min) = P( $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ < $\frac{6-4.5}{0.7}$ ) = P(Z < 2.14) = 0.9838

P(X $\leq$ 4.00 min) = P( $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ $\leq$ $\frac{4.0-4.5}{0.7}$ ) = P(Z $\leq$ -0.71) = 1 - P(Z < 0.71)

= 1 - 0.7612 = 0.2388

The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 2.14 and x = 0.71 in the z table which has an area of 0.9838 and 0.7612 respectively.

Therefore, P(4.50 min < X < 5.30 min) = 0.9838 - 0.2388 = <u>0.745</u>.

(e) We have to find the time that represents the length of the longest (in duration) 5 percent of the calls, that means;

P(X > x) = 0.05 {where x is the required time}

P( $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ > $\frac{x-4.5}{0.7}$ ) = 0.05

P(Z > $\frac{x-4.5}{0.7}$ ) = 0.05

Now, in the z table the critical value of x which represents the top 5% of the area is given as 1.645, that is;

$\frac{x-4.5}{0.7}=1.645$

${x-4.5}{}=1.645 \times 0.7$

x = 4.5 + 1.15 = 5.65 minutes.

SO, the time is 5.65 minutes.
