Consider a small population consisting of the 100 students enrolled in an introductory statistics course. Students in the class

completed a survey on academic procrastination. The average number of hours spent procrastinating when they should be studying, per exam, by all students in this course is 5 hours with a standard deviation of 3 hours. The distribution of amount of time students spend procrastinating is known to be normal.
(a) Identify the value (in hours) of the population mean. thr
(b) Calculate the standard deviation (in hours) of the sampling distribution of the sample mean for a sample of size 17 drawn from this population. (Round your answer to three decimal places.) hr
(c) What is the probability of obtaining a sample mean of less than 2 hours based on a sample of size 17 if the population mean truly is thours (etable or technology. Round your five decimal places.)

Answer:

5 ; 0.728 ; 0.00002

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Central limit theorem, for a normal distribution, the population mean equals the sample mean., Hence the population mean, μ = sample mean = 5

The standard deviation of sampling distribution :

Standard deviation / sqrt(n)

σ / sqrt(n)

σ = 3 ; n = 17

3 / sqrt(17)

3 / 4.1231056

= 0.7276

= 0.728

3.)

P(x < 2) :

Using :

Z = (x - mean) ÷ s/sqrt(n)

P(x < 2) = (2 - 5) ÷ 3/sqrt(17)

P(x < 2) = -3 / 0.7276068

P(x < 2) = - 4.1231060

Z < - 4.123 = 0.00002 (Z probability calculator).

Vertex of x^2-10x+30
Shtirlitz [24]

The easiest way to find the vertex is to convert this standard form equation into vertex form, which is y = a(x - h)^2 + k.

Firstly, put x^2 - 10x into parentheses: y = (x^2 - 10x) + 30

Next, we want to make what's inside the parentheses a perfect square. To do that, we need to divide the x coefficient by 2 and square it. In this case, the result is 25. Add 25 inside the parentheses and subtract 25 outside of the parentheses: y = (x^2 - 10x + 25) + 30 - 25

Next, factor what's inside the parentheses and combine like terms outside of the parentheses, and your vertex form is: y = (x - 5)^2 + 5.

Now going back to the formula of the vertex form, y = a(x - h)^2 + k, the vertex is (h,k). Using our vertex equation, we can see that the vertex is (5,5).

Find c such that (−3,−8), (−7,−6), and (c,4) lie on a line.
bearhunter [10]
If the 3 points are collinear, then the slopes of all line segments connecting the points are the same.

Thus,

-6 - (-8) 2
m = ------------- = -------- = -1/2
-7 - (-3) -4

Then the following must be true:

4-(-6) 10
-1/2 = ------------ = ---------
c - (-7) c + 7

Cross multiplying, -(c+7) = 20, and c+7 = -20, so that c = -27
