GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

\mu_p -\sigma_p = 0.74-0.0219=0.718

\mu_p +\sigma_p = 0.74+0.0219=0.762

68% of the rates are expected to be betwen 0.718 and 0.762

\mu_p -2*\sigma_p = 0.74-2*0.0219=0.696

\mu_p +2*\sigma_p = 0.74+2*0.0219=0.784

95% of the rates are expected to be betwen 0.696 and 0.784

\mu_p -3*\sigma_p = 0.74-3*0.0219=0.674

\mu_p +3*\sigma_p = 0.74+3*0.0219=0.806

99.7% of the rates are expected to be betwen 0.674 and 0.806

Step-by-step explanation:

Check for conditions

For this case in order to use the normal distribution for this case or the 68-95-99.7% rule we need to satisfy 3 conditions:

a) Independence : we assume that the random sample of 400 students each student is independent from the other.

b) 10% condition: We assume that the sample size on this case 400 is less than 10% of the real population size.

c) np= 400*0.74= 296>10

n(1-p) = 400*(1-0.74)=104>10

So then we have all the conditions satisfied.

Solution to the problem

For this case we know that the distribution for the population proportion is given by:

p \sim N(p, \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}})

So then:

\mu_p = 0.74

\sigma_p =\sqrt{\frac{0.74(1-0.74)}{400}}=0.0219

The empirical rule, also referred to as the three-sigma rule or 68-95-99.7 rule, is a statistical rule which states that for a normal distribution, almost all data falls within three standard deviations (denoted by σ) of the mean (denoted by µ). Broken down, the empirical rule shows that 68% falls within the first standard deviation (µ ± σ), 95% within the first two standard deviations (µ ± 2σ), and 99.7% within the first three standard deviations (µ ± 3σ).

\mu_p -\sigma_p = 0.74-0.0219=0.718

\mu_p +\sigma_p = 0.74+0.0219=0.762

68% of the rates are expected to be betwen 0.718 and 0.762

\mu_p -2*\sigma_p = 0.74-2*0.0219=0.696

\mu_p +2*\sigma_p = 0.74+2*0.0219=0.784

95% of the rates are expected to be betwen 0.696 and 0.784

\mu_p -3*\sigma_p = 0.74-3*0.0219=0.674

\mu_p +3*\sigma_p = 0.74+3*0.0219=0.806

99.7% of the rates are expected to be betwen 0.674 and 0.806

The mean annual income for people in a certain city is 37 thousand dollars, with a standard deviation of 28 thousand dollars. A
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

P( 31 < \bar X< 41)

And we can ue the z score formula given by:

z= \frac{\bar X -\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

And using this formula we got for the limits:

z = \frac{31-37}{\frac{28}{\sqrt{50}}}= -1.515

z = \frac{41-37}{\frac{28}{\sqrt{50}}}= 1.01

So we want to find this probability:

P(-1.515

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the annual income of a population, and for this case we know the following info:

\mu=37 and \sigma=28  and we are omitting the zeros from the thousand to simplify calculations

We select a sample size of n=50>30.

The central limit theorem states that "if we have a population with mean μ and standard deviation σ and take sufficiently large random samples from the population with replacement, then the distribution of the sample means will be approximately normally distributed. This will hold true regardless of whether the source population is normal or skewed, provided the sample size is sufficiently large".

From the central limit theorem we know that the distribution for the sample mean \bar X is given by:

\bar X \sim N(\mu, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})

And we want to find this probability:

P( 31 < \bar X< 41)

And we can ue the z score formula given by:

z= \frac{\bar X -\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

And using this formula we got for the limits:

z = \frac{31-37}{\frac{28}{\sqrt{50}}}= -1.515

z = \frac{41-37}{\frac{28}{\sqrt{50}}}= 1.01

So we want to find this probability:

P(-1.515

Use the Distributive property to write an expression equivalent 5 times ( 3+4 ).
algol13
You can set this up as 5(3+4)....then, distribute by multiplying the terms in parentheses by 5. This gives you 15+20, which equals 35.
