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.

<h3>What is a normal distribution?</h3>

The Gaussian Distribution is another name for it. The most significant continuous probability distribution is this one. Because the curve resembles a bell, it is also known as a bell curve.

The z-score is a statistical evaluation of a value's correlation to the mean of a collection of values, expressed in terms of standard deviation.

The mean is 95 and the standard deviation is 14. Then the probability when x > 120 will be

The z-score will be

z = (120 - 95)/ 14

z = 1.7857

Then the probability will be

P(x > 120) = P(z > 1.7857)

P(x > 120) = 1 - P(x<120)

P(x > 120) = 1 - 0.96293

P(x > 120) = 0.0367

The diagonal of a cube is 28 cm. Identify the length of an edge. Round to the nearest tenth, if necessary. HELP PLEASE!!
makkiz [27]

Answer:

16.2\ cm

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The diagonal of a cube is equal to

D=b\sqrt{3}

where

b is the length of an edge of the cube

we have

D=28\ cm

substitute

28=b\sqrt{3}

b=28/\sqrt{3}=16.2\ cm
