Answer:

x = 128.472

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.

The number of diners each day has a mean of 107 and a standard deviation of 60.

This means that \mu = 107, \sigma = 60

Distribution of the daily average:

Over a month of 30 days, so n = 30, s = \frac{60}{\sqrt{30}} = 10.955

The probability that a daily average over a given month is greater than x is 2.5%. Calculate x.

This is X when Z has a p-value of 1 - 0.025 = 0.975, so X when Z = 1.96. Then

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

1.96 = \frac{X - 107}{10.955}

X - 107 = 1.96*10.955

X = 128.472

So x = 128.472

Which equation shows the result of substituting and expression for y from the first equation into the second equation for the gi
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

x-2x = -3 and x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression

y=x+5.... 1

y-2x=2.... 2

Substituting the first equation into the second we will have;

From 2;

y -2x = 2

x+5-2x = 2

x-2x +5 = 2

x-2x = 2-5

x-2x = -3

-x =-3

x =3

Hence the required equation is x-2x = -3 and x = 3

Write an expression to determine the length of the room in units of 3 feet.
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

  • 1/3L

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The question with some background info added:</em></u>

  • <em>When measuring the dimensions of a room a carpenter uses a tape measure that only displays a number of feet, L, on the metal tape. (The carpenter's tape measure does not display inches) </em>
  • <em>Write an expression to determine the length of the room in units of 3 feet. </em>
<h3>Solution</h3>

Let the length of the room be L feet measured by the carpenter

<u>Then</u>

  • L/3 = 1/3L would be measure of the length in units of 3 feet

The answer to this problem
horrorfan [7]
Work backwards with pythagoras' theorem:
c^2=a^2+b^2
Here, a and b both equal to x. Therefore, you can write this as 8^2=2x^2. So 64=2x^2. Sqrt on both sides to give you 8=2x, hence x=4. However I must warn you that this working out may have a flaw, as I found that x actually equals to 5.66
