The average score of all golfers for a particular course has a mean of 75 and a standard deviation of 4. Suppose 64 golfers play
Vilka [71]

Answer:

0.0228 = 2.28% probability that the average score of the 64 golfers exceeded 76.

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 normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore 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 pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes 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.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 75, \sigma = 4, n = 64, s = \frac{4}{\sqrt{64}} = 0.5

Find the probability that the average score of the 64 golfers exceeded 76.

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 64.

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

Z = \frac{76 - 75}{0.5}

Z = 2

Z = 2 has a pvalue of 0.9772

1 - 0.9772 = 0.0228

0.0228 = 2.28% probability that the average score of the 64 golfers exceeded 76.

The college student senate is sponsoring a spring break Caribbean cruise raffle, with proceeds going to the local homeless shelt
drek231 [11]

Answer:

The mathematical expectation of a student who purchases 10 tickets is -$39.65.

Step-by-step explanation:

A student that purchases 10 tickets out of 2900 has a probability of winning the cruise that can be calculated as:

p=10/2900\approx0.00345

Each ticket cost $5, so he has spent $50 for the 10 tickets.

Then, the expected value of this operation is equal to the expected value of the earnings (probability of winning the prize multiplied by the value of the prize), minus the costs:

E(X)=p\cdot R-C\\\\E(X)=0.00345\cdot3000-50=10.35-50=-39.65

The mathematical expectation of a student who purchases 10 tickets is -$39.65.

The height of an ostrich is 20 inches more than 4 times the height of a kiwi. If an ostrich is 108 inches tall, how tall is a ki
pishuonlain [190]
Let the height of the kiwi be x, then the height of the ostrich is 20 + 4x.
20 + 4x = 108
4x = 108 - 20 = 88
x = 88/4 = 22
The height of the kiwi is 22 inches.
