A veterinary researcher takes a random sample of 60 horses presenting with colic. The average age of the random sample of horses

with colic is 12 years. The average age of all horses seen at the veterinary clinic was determined to be 10 years. The researcher also determined that the standard deviation of all horses coming to the veterinary clinic is 8 years. Based on the Central Limit Theorem we know the distribution of means from every sample of size 60 will be , with a mean of and a standard deviation of . The probability that a sample mean is 12 or larger for a sample from the horse population is

Answer:

Probability that a sample mean is 12 or larger for a sample from the horse population is 0.0262.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a veterinary researcher takes a random sample of 60 horses presenting with colic. The average age of the random sample of horses with colic is 12 years. The average age of all horses seen at the veterinary clinic was determined to be 10 years. The researcher also determined that the standard deviation of all horses coming to the veterinary clinic is 8 years.

So, firstly according to Central limit theorem the z score probability distribution for sample means is given by;

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

where, \bar X = average age of the random sample of horses with colic = 12 yrs

            \mu = average age of all horses seen at the veterinary clinic = 10 yrs

   \sigma = standard deviation of all horses coming to the veterinary clinic = 8 yrs

         n = sample of horses = 60

So, probability that a sample mean is 12 or larger for a sample from the horse population is given by = P(\bar X \geq 12)

   P(\bar X \geq 12) = P( \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } \geq \frac{12-10}{\frac{8}{\sqrt{60} } } ) = P(Z \geq 1.94) = 1 - P(Z < 1.94)

                                                 = 1 - 0.97381 = 0.0262

Therefore, probability that a sample mean is 12 or larger for a sample from the horse population is 0.0262.

sesenic [268]

consider the numbers are x,2x,3x,4x,5x

Given;

(x+2x+3x+4x+5x)/5 = 11

15x = 55

x= 55/15 = 11/3

The numbers are

11/3, 22/3, 11, 44/3, 55/3

Answer:

9/2π cm/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of the spherical balloon V= 4/3πr³

Rate of change of volume dV/dt = dV/dr * dr/dt

dV/dr = 3(4/3πr²)

dV/dr = 4πr²

dV/dr = 4π(2)²

dV/dr = 16π

If V = 72cm²/s

72 = 16π*dr/dt

dr/dt = 72/16π

dr/dt = 9/2π cm/s

Hence the radius is changing at  9/2π cm/s
