Answer:
The answer is below
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
mean (μ) = 70 years, standard deviation (σ)= 5.5 years.
a) The z score measures how many standard deviation a raw score is above or below the mean. It is given as:
, for a sample size of n, the z score is:
Given a sample of 5 turtles, we have to calculate the z score for x = 60 and x = 80.
For x = 60:
For x = 80:
The probability that a mean life of a random sample of 5 such turtles falls between 60 and 80 years = P(60 < x < 80) = P(-4.07 < z < 4.07) = P(z < 4.07) - P(z < -4.07) = 1 - 0 = 1 = 100%
b) The z score that corresponds to top 10% is -1.28.
Answer:
<em>x = 2.5</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
- 2x - ( - 5 - 4x ) = - 5 ( 2x - 7 )
- 2x + 5 + 4x = - 10x + 35
- 2x + 5 + 4x = - 10x + 35
- 2x + 4x + 10x = 35 - 5
12x = 30
<em>x = </em><em> = 2.5</em>
Check the answer:
<em>L.H.S.</em> = - 2(2.5) - [ - 5 - 4(2.5) ] = <em>10</em>
<em>R.H.S.</em> = - 5 [ 2(2.5) - 7 ] = <em>10</em>
