Answer:

\dfrac{2}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

The number of observations is:

6, 10, 12

If we are to use a simple  random sampling without replacement, then we will have:

(6,10)  (6,12)  (10,12)

Here;

the sample size n = 2

The population size N = 3

For (6,10) ; The sample mean = \dfrac{6+10}{2}

= \dfrac{16}{2}

= 8

For (6,12) ; The sample mean = \dfrac{6+12}{2}

= \dfrac{18}{2}

= 9

For (10, 12) ; The sample mean = \dfrac{10+12}{2}

= \dfrac{22}{2}

= 11

The probability distribution of sample mean(x) is:

X           8           9          11

P(X=x)    \dfrac{1}{3}          \dfrac{1}{3}           \dfrac{1}{3}

Thus, the probability that the sample mean  is larger than 8 is:

P(X> 8) = P(X = 9) + P(X + 11)

P(X> 8) = \dfrac{1}{3}+\dfrac{1}{3}

P(X > 8) = \dfrac{1+1}{3}

P(X> 8) = \dfrac{2}{3}

ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

39 inches.

858 inches²

Step-by-step explanation:

Length:- (if length = x)

2 ( 11 + x ) = 100

22 + 2x = 100

2x = 100 - 22

2x = 78

x = 78 ÷ 2

x = 39 inches

Area:-

Area = l × b

= 39 × 22

= 858 inches²
