Answer:

0% probability that the mean of the sample taken is less than 2.2 feet.

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.

Mean of 2.5 feet and a standard deviation of 0.2 feet.

This means that \mu = 2.5, \sigma = 0.2

Sample of 41

This means that n = 41, s = \frac{0.2}{\sqrt{41}}

Find the probability that the mean of the sample taken is less than 2.2 feet.

This is the p-value of Z when X = 2.2 So

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

Z = \frac{2.2 - 2.5}{\frac{0.2}{\sqrt{41}}}

Z = -9.6

Z = -9.6 has a p-value of 0.

0% probability that the mean of the sample taken is less than 2.2 feet.

Answer:

f(2) = 2.5×2-10.5

=5-10.5

=-5.5

g(2) = 64(0.5×2)

= 64×1

=64

f(3)=2.5×3-10.5

=7.5-10.5

=-3

g(3)=64(0.5×3)

=64×1.5

=96

f(4)=2.5×4-10.5

=10-10.5

=-500

g(4)=64(0.5×4)

=64×2

=128

f(5)=2.5×5-10.5

=12.5-10.5

=2

g(5)=64(0.5×5)

=64×2.5

=150

5. You are making your weekly mean plans and are working with the following constraints: It costs $8 to go out to dinner. It cos
Goshia [24]

Let

x-------> the number of dinner

y-------> the number of lunch

we know that

8x+5y \leq 42 -------> equation A

x=y ------> equation B

Substitute equation B in equation A

8[y]+5y \leq 42

13y \leq 42

y \leq 42/13

y \leq 3.23

so

the greatest number of lunch is y=3

x=y

Hence

the greatest number of dinner is x=3

therefore

the greatest number of meals is

x+y=3+3=6

<u>the answer is</u>

6
