Answer:

0.8389 = 83.89% probability that the sample mean would be less than 133.5 liters.

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.

The mean per capita consumption of milk per year is 131 liters with a variance of 841.

This means that \mu = 131, \sigma = \sqrt{841} = 29

Sample of 132 people

This means that n = 132, s = \frac{29}{\sqrt{132}}

What is the probability that the sample mean would be less than 133.5 liters?

This is the p-value of Z when X = 133.5. So

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

Z = \frac{133.5 - 131}{\frac{29}{\sqrt{132}}}

Z = 0.99

Z = 0.99 has a p-value of 0.8389

0.8389 = 83.89% probability that the sample mean would be less than 133.5 liters.

What is the distance of the two endpoints (3, 5) and (-6, -6)?
Jet001 [13]

Distance = sqrt(5- -6)^2 + (3- -6)^2)

= sqrt (121 + 81)

= sqrt 202

= 14.21 to nearest hundredth

Simplify the expression. -2/3c -9/5 + 14c + 3/10
Andrew [12]

Answer:

13 \frac{1}{3} c - 1 \frac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to combine alike terms so

-2/3c+14c & -9/5+3/10

14c-2/3

\frac{14}{1} c -  \frac{2}{3} c

Multiply 14/1 by 3/3 to get the denominators the same

\frac{42}{3} c -  \frac{2}{3} c

Subtract

\frac{40}{3} c

simplify

13 \frac{1}{3} c

now

\frac{3}{10}  -  \frac{9}{5}

Multiply 9/5 by 2/2

\frac{3}{10}  -  \frac{ 18}{10}

Subtract

- \frac{15}{10}

Simplify

- 1 \frac{1}{2}

put both together

13 \frac{1}{3}c  - 1 \frac{1}{2}

Hope this helps! If you have any questions on how I got my answer feel free to ask. Stay safe!
