Answer:
0.4514 = 45.14% probability that the mean of the sample would differ from the population mean by less than 1 point if 60 exams are sampled
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this question, we have 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 and standard deviation
, the zscore of a measure X is given by:
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 random variable X, with mean and standard deviation
, a large sample size can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean
and standard deviation
In this problem, we have that:
What is the probability that the mean of the sample would differ from the population mean by less than 1 point if 60 exams are sampled?
This is the pvalue of Z when X = 159+1 = 160 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 159-1 = 158. So
X = 160
By the Central Limit Theorem
has a pvalue of 0.7257
X = 150
has a pvalue of 0.2743
0.7257 - 0.2743 = 0.4514
0.4514 = 45.14% probability that the mean of the sample would differ from the population mean by less than 1 point if 60 exams are sampled
Answer:
ab = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
A Reciprocal of a number is a number which when multiplied by the original number yields the multiplicative number, 1.
So the reciprocal of x would be x⁻¹ or ¹⁄ₓ
The information we are given states that the sum of the two non-zero numbers a and b equals the sum of their reciprocals.
So we can write this into an equation and solve,
(See image)
Once we solve, we get the equation (ab-1)(a+b) = 0
We are given info that a+b≠0
So for the above equation to be true, ab-1 has to equal 0
For <em>this</em> to be true, the product ab must equal 1
