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.

Answer:

x= -4

Step-by-step explanation:

∠LMP + ∠PMN= 180° (adj. ∠s on a str. line)

-16x +13 -20x +23= 180

bring x term to 1 side, constant to the other:

-36x= 180 -13 -23

Simplify:

-36x= 144

x= 144 ÷ (-36)

x= -4

*The sum of the angles on a straight line is 180°
