Answer:

The probability that the mean daily precipitation will be of X inches or less for a random sample of n November days is the p-value of Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}, in which \mu is mean amount of inches of rain and \sigma is the standard deviation.

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.

In this question:

Mean \mu, standard deviation \sigma

n days:

This means that s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

Applying the Central Limit Theorem to the z-score formula.

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

What is the probability that the mean daily precipitation will be of X inches or less for a random sample of November days?

The probability that the mean daily precipitation will be of X inches or less for a random sample of n November days is the p-value of Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}, in which \mu is mean amount of inches of rain and \sigma is the standard deviation.

Pls help with Question 11.<br> I need to submit it by tmr
Wewaii [24]

Answer: 81.85 km/hr

Converting m/sec into km/hr, 25 m/sec = 90 km/hr

Average =

Time = 50/90  =  5/9 hr

next 120 km at an average speed of 80km/h

=> Time = 120/80  = 3/2  hr

last part of its journey at an average speed of 90km/h in 35 Minutes

time = 35 minutes = 35/60 hr = 7/12 hr

Distance covered = 90 * 7 /12  = 105/2  km

Total Distance = 50 + 120  + 105/2  = 435/2 km

Total time = 5/9 + 3/2 + 7/12   =  ( 20 + 54 + 21) /36  = 95/36

Average speed =   (435/2)/(95 /36)  = 432 * 18  /95 = 81.85 km/hr

Phillip watched a beach volleyball game from 1:45pm to 2:00pm.how many degrees did the minutes hand turn?
VikaD [51]
For this case, the first thing to do is to calculate the time you were watching the game.
 We have then:
 2:00 - 1:45 = 15 minutes
 Then, the amount of degrees is given by:
 (15/60) * (360) = 90 degrees
 Answer:
 
the minutes hand did turn about:
 
90 degrees

Is x = 1 a solution of the equation 2 – 8x = –6?
borishaifa [10]

Let's verify by substituting 1 to x.

2 - 8x = -6

2 - 8(1) = -6

2 - 8 = -6

-6 = -6

It is equal, therefore x = 1 is the solution.
