The number of diners at a restaurant each day is recorded and a daily average is calculated every month (assume 30 days in a mon

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

How do I solve for y in the equation 2(3/4)+y=4?
yuradex [85]
2* .75 + y = 4
1.5 + y = 4
Subtract 1.5 From Each Side
Y = 2.5 Or 2 1/2

erastova [34]
(9+w)w=252 or w(w+9)=252.
The quadratic equation applies: w²+9w-252=0=(w+21)(w-12), so w=12, because a negative zero is meaningless.
So the dimensions are width=12 in and length=21 in.
