Answer:

a) P(X

b) P(\bar X

c) P(\bar X

d) For part a we are just finding the probability that an individual bottle would have a value of 2.52 liters or less. So we can't compare the result of part a with the results for parts b and c.

If we see part b and c are similar but the difference it's on the sample size for part b we just have a sample size 4 and for part c we have a sample size of 25. The differences are because we have a higher standard error for part b compared to part c.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  The letter \phi(b) is used to denote the cumulative area for a b quantile on the normal standard distribution, or in other words: \phi(b)=P(z

Let X the random variable that represent the amount of water in a bottle of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(2.55,0.035)

a. What is the probability that an individual bottle contains less than 2.52 liters?

We are interested on this probability

P(X

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

P(X

And in order to find these probabilities we can find tables for the normal standard distribution, excel or a calculator.  

P(X

b. If a sample of 4 bottles is selected, what is the probability that the sample mean amount contained is less than 2.52 liters? (Round to three decimal places as noeded)

And let \bar X represent the sample mean, the distribution for the sample mean is given by:

\bar X \sim N(\mu,\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})

On this case  \bar X \sim N(2.55,\frac{0.035}{\sqrt{4}})

The z score on this case is given by this formula:

z=\frac{\bar x-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

And if we replace the values that we have we got:

z=\frac{2.52-2.55}{\frac{0.035}{\sqrt{4}}}=-1.714

For this case we can use a table or excel to find the probability required:

P(\bar X

c. If a sample of 25 bottles is selected, what is the probability that the sample mean amount contained is less than 2.52 liters? (Round to three decimal places as needed.)

The z score on this case is given by this formula:

z=\frac{\bar x-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

And if we replace the values that we have we got:

z=\frac{2.52-2.55}{\frac{0.035}{\sqrt{25}}}=-4.286

For this case we can use a table or excel to find the probability required:

P(\bar X

d. Explain the difference in the results of (a) and (c)

For part a we are just finding the probability that an individual bottle would have a value of 2.52 liters or less. So we can't compare the result of part a with the results for parts b and c.

If we see part b and c are similar but the difference it's on the sample size for part b we just have a sample size 4 and for part c we have a sample size of 25. The differences are because we have a higher standard error for part b compared to part c.

How do you solve this step by step?
Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

x = 41

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we want to find the value of 'x' by isolating it (separating 'x' from all other numbers).

First, simplify the expression by using the <u>distributive property</u>, where you multiply the number outside the brackets with each term inside the brackets.

Then isolate 'x' by doing reverse operations (on both sides) for every number that is on the same side as 'x'. Reverse operations are opposites (addition and subtraction, multiplication and division) and "cancel out" a number, which "moves" it to the other side.

7(x - 5) = 252        Use the distributive property

7x - 35 = 252        Result of 7 times x and 7 times -5

7x - 35 + 35 = 252 + 35        Add 35 to both sides

7x = 252 + 35        -35+35 on the left side cancelled out. Simplify right side

7x = 287        Continue to isolate 'x'

7x/7 = 287/7        Divide both sides by 7

x = 287/7        Left side cancelled out to be 'x'. Simplify the right side

x = 41        Answer

Check your answer:

Substitute 'x' for 41 in the original equation. Then, make sure that the equation is still balanced. Keep in mind BEDMAS order (brackets, exponents, division, multiplication, addition, subtraction).

7(x - 5) = 252

7(41 - 5) = 252        Simplify inside the brackets first

7(36) = 252        Multiply

252 = 252        Same answer

LS = RS

Since left side (LS) equals (=) right side (RS), the equation is still balanced and we got the correct value for 'x'.

The side lengths of a square are each 4p. By adding 3 to the length and subtracting 3 from the width, a rectangle is made. What
AysviL [449]

Answer:

area will be

16p {}^{2}  - 9

Step-by-step explanation:

after addition of 3, the length will be =》(4p+3)

after subtracting 3, the width will be =》(4p-3)

area = length × width

  • (4p+3) (4p-3)
  • 16p^2 - 9

the area will be

16p {}^{2}   - 9

How do you find the 50th term of the sequence of 5,-2,-9,-16......
Natasha2012 [34]

To find the 50th term in this sequence, first you need to find how what the sequence is. To get from 5 to -2 you're subtracting 7, to get from -2 to -9, you subtract another 7. In order to get the next number you go down by multiples of 7: 5 - 7 = -2; 5 - 14 = -9 and so on). So all you have to do is multiply 7 by 50 to get 350 and subtract that from 5 to get -345.


Hope this helps,
