Answer: I think it’s D

Step-by-step explanation:

it’s because 8^2 + 13^2 equals 233 and when square rooted equals 15.26 not 20 so no.

One measure of an athlete’s ability is the height of his or her vertical leap. Many professional basketball players are known fo

Answer:

(1) P( $\bar X$ < 26 inches) = 0.0436

(2) P(27.5 inches < $\bar X$ < 28.5 inches) = 0.2812

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the mean vertical leap of all NBA players is 28 inches. Suppose the standard deviation is 7 inches and 36 NBA players are selected at random.

Firstly, Let $\bar X$ = mean vertical leap for the 36 players

Assuming the data follows normal distribution; so the z score probability distribution for sample mean is given by;

Z = $\frac{\bar X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\mu$ = population mean vertical leap = 28 inches

$\sigma$ = standard deviation = 7 inches

n = sample of NBA player = 36

(1) Probability that the mean vertical leap for the 36 players will be less than 26 inches is given by = P( $\bar X$ < 26 inches)

P( $\bar X$ < 26) = P( $\frac{\bar X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ < $\frac{26-28}{\frac{7}{\sqrt{36} } }$ ) = P(Z < -1.71) = 1 - P(Z $\leq$ 1.71)

= 1 - 0.95637 = 0.0436

(2) Now, here sample of NBA players is 26 so n = 26.

Probability that the mean vertical leap for the 26 players will be between 27.5 and 28.5 inches is given by = P(27.5 inches < $\bar X$ < 28.5 inches) = P( $\bar X$ < 28.5 inches) - P( $\bar X$ $\leq$ 27.5 inches)

P( $\bar X$ < 28.5) = P( $\frac{\bar X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ < $\frac{28.5-28}{\frac{7}{\sqrt{26} } }$ ) = P(Z < 0.36) = 0.64058 {using z table}

P( $\bar X$ $\leq$ 27.5) = P( $\frac{\bar X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ $\leq$ $\frac{27.5-28}{\frac{7}{\sqrt{26} } }$ ) = P(Z $\leq$ -0.36) = 1 - P(Z < 0.36)
