Answer:

(a) X ~ N( $\mu=63, \sigma^{2} = 13^{2}$ ).

$\bar X$ ~ N( $\mu=63,s^{2} = (\frac{13}{\sqrt{43} } )^{2}$ ).

(b) If a single randomly selected individual is observed, the probability that this person consumes is between 61.4 mL and 62.8 mL is 0.0398.

(c) For the group of 43 pancake eaters, the probability that the average amount of syrup is between 61.4 mL and 62.8 mL is 0.2512.

(d) Yes, for part (d), the assumption that the distribution is normally distributed necessary.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the amount of syrup that people put on their pancakes is normally distributed with mean 63 mL and a standard deviation of 13 mL.

Suppose that 43 randomly selected people are observed pouring syrup on their pancakes.

(a) Let X = amount of syrup that people put on their pancakes

The z-score probability distribution for the normal distribution is given by;

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

where, $\mu$ = mean amount of syrup = 63 mL

$\sigma$ = standard deviation = 13 mL

So, the distribution of X ~ N( $\mu=63, \sigma^{2} = 13^{2}$ ).

Let $\bar X$ = sample mean amount of syrup that people put on their pancakes

The z-score probability distribution for the sample mean is given by;

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

where, $\mu$ = mean amount of syrup = 63 mL

$\sigma$ = standard deviation = 13 mL

n = sample of people = 43

So, the distribution of $\bar X$ ~ N( $\mu=63,s^{2} = (\frac{13}{\sqrt{43} } )^{2}$ ).

(b) If a single randomly selected individual is observed, the probability that this person consumes is between 61.4 mL and 62.8 mL is given by = P(61.4 mL < X < 62.8 mL)

P(61.4 mL < X < 62.8 mL) = P(X < 62.8 mL) - P(X $\leq$ 61.4 mL)

P(X < 62.8 mL) = P( $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ < $\frac{62.8-63}{13}$ ) = P(Z < -0.02) = 1 - P(Z $\leq$ 0.02)

= 1 - 0.50798 = 0.49202

P(X $\leq$ 61.4 mL) = P( $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ $\leq$ $\frac{61.4-63}{13}$ ) = P(Z $\leq$ -0.12) = 1 - P(Z < 0.12)

= 1 - 0.54776 = 0.45224

Therefore, P(61.4 mL < X < 62.8 mL) = 0.49202 - 0.45224 = 0.0398.

(c) For the group of 43 pancake eaters, the probability that the average amount of syrup is between 61.4 mL and 62.8 mL is given by = P(61.4 mL < $\bar X$ < 62.8 mL)

P(61.4 mL < $\bar X$ < 62.8 mL) = P( $\bar X$ < 62.8 mL) - P( $\bar X$ $\leq$ 61.4 mL)

P( $\bar X$ < 62.8 mL) = P( $\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ < $\frac{62.8-63}{\frac{13}{\sqrt{43} } }$ ) = P(Z < -0.10) = 1 - P(Z $\leq$ 0.10)

= 1 - 0.53983 = 0.46017

P( $\bar X$ $\leq$ 61.4 mL) = P( $\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ $\leq$ $\frac{61.4-63}{\frac{13}{\sqrt{43} } }$ ) = P(Z $\leq$ -0.81) = 1 - P(Z < 0.81)

= 1 - 0.79103 = 0.20897

Therefore, P(61.4 mL < X < 62.8 mL) = 0.46017 - 0.20897 = 0.2512.

(d) Yes, for part (d), the assumption that the distribution is normally distributed necessary.

A rectangular floor is 7 yards long and 3 yards wide. what is the area of the floor in square feet? be sure to include the corre

mario62 [17]

There are a couple ways to do this, but basically you need to convert the units.

7 yards x 3 ft/yard = 21 feet 
4 yards x 3 ft/yard = 12 feet 
So the area (in sq. ft) will be: 
21 x 12 
= 252 sq. ft. 

Alternatively, you can figure the area in square *yards* and then multiply by 9 sq. ft per sq. yard. 
7 yards x 4 yards x 9 sq. ft/sq. yard 
= 252 sq. ft.

hope this helps :)

Answer:

D) What is the shoe size of the students in my school?

Step-by-step explanation:

"Students in my school" indicates that it is not talking about a particular student. It requires the average shoe size of everybody in the school. Therefore D is the answer.

Line DQ is equal to 7. Since point Q is the centeriod, this means that line DQ will equal the same as line QD. Thus, line QD is 7 making like DQ 7 as well. Hope that helped :))
