In a certain section of Southern California, the distribution of monthly rent for a one-bedroom apartment has a mean of $2,275 a

nd a standard deviation of $290. The distribution of the monthly rent does not follow the normal distribution. In fact, it is positively skewed. What is the probability of selecting a sample of 65 one-bedroom apartments and finding the mean to be at least $2,095 per month

Answer:

100% probability of selecting a sample of 65 one-bedroom apartments and finding the mean to be at least $2,095 per month

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 estabilishes 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.

Mean of $2,275 and a standard deviation of $290.

This means that \mu = 2275, \sigma = 290

Sample of 65:

This means that n = 65, s = \frac{290}{\sqrt{65}}

Finding the mean to be at least $2,095 per month

This is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 2095. So

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

Z = \frac{2095 - 2275}{\frac{290}{\sqrt{65}}}

Z = -5

Z = -5 has a p-value of 0.

1 - 0 = 1

100% probability of selecting a sample of 65 one-bedroom apartments and finding the mean to be at least $2,095 per month

The population of bald eagles in Forest National Park is declining at a rate of 14% per year. The following expression represent
neonofarm [45]

We know that the population is declining at a rate of 14% per year.

The expression is:

N ( x ) = 206 * ( 0.86 ) ^ x

where x stays for years.

If we want to find the rate at which the population is declining per month we have to find:

\sqrt[12]{0.86} = 0.9875

And 0.9875 ≈ 0.99

There are 12 months in a year so the exponent is: x/12

Answer:

b. ( .99 ) ^ x/12

I dont understand the question
Nonamiya [84]
<h3>Answer: Choice C)   x^4 - 2</h3>

Explanation:

If the exponent is negative, then that means we apply the reciprocal. So something like x^(-2) becomes 1/(x^2). A polynomial cannot have a variable in the denominator like this. So we can rule out choices A, B, and D. Choice C is the only thing left. It is a polynomial because the exponent is a positive whole number.

Please help me ive been stuck on this question for days! Thank you

Okay, so this is basically telling you that there is no solution. You don't have to worry about there being one. You just have to justify (or explain) why there isn't one.

Basically, neither y or x is equal to anything. You couldn't make x equal to a value in y because x and y are both together in the equation and equal to numbers. 

We can always move a factor to the other side. So,

x-2y= -8

Add 2y to the other side.

x= -8+2y

Now, plug in -8+2y as x.

3(-8+2y)- 6y=-12

-24+6y-6y= -12

The 6y's cancel out. So, we can't figure out what y is.

-24=-12 <- no y.

These two lines are 
parallel. They have direct proportion in each other. That is why there is no solution because the lines never cross. Parallel lines do not cross. 

I hope this helps!
