Life Expectancies In a study of the life expectancy of people in a certain geographic region, the mean age at death was years an

d the standard deviation was years. If a sample of people from this region is selected, find the probability that the mean life expectancy will be less than years. Round intermediate -value calculations to decimal places and round the final answer to at least decimal places.

Answer:

The probability that the mean life expectancy of the sample is less than X years is the p-value of Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}, in which \mu is the mean life expectancy, \sigma is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.

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 normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

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

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes 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.

We have:

Mean \mu, standard deviation \sigma.

Sample of size n:

This means that the z-score is now, by the Central Limit Theorem:

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

Find the probability that the mean life expectancy will be less than years.

The probability that the mean life expectancy of the sample is less than X years is the p-value of Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}, in which \mu is the mean life expectancy, \sigma is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.

Simplify: -|-15|<br><br> please answer correctly i'll give brainliest and 5-star rating.

Answer:

-15

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Definition of absolute value: </u>

<em>Distance from zero on a number line. </em>

<em />

Imagine a number line with 0 in the middle of it. Now mark the number 3 on it. Also mark the <em>opposite </em>of 3, which is -3. What is the <u>distance</u> from zero to those 2 points? it's 3.

This is exactly like saying |3| = 3 and |-3| = 3

Even if the number inside absolute value is negative, it <em><u>simplifies</u></em> to the positive of the same number.

_______________________________

So let's talk about your problem.

-|-15|

> the absolute value simplifies to 15

-|-15| = - 15

So that ends up being your answer.

-15

Hope this helps!!!!!!!
