A consumer group has determined that the distribution of life spans for gas ranges (stoves) has a mean of 15.0 years and a stand

ard deviation of 4.2 years. The distribution of life spans for electric ranges has a mean of 13.4 years and a standard deviation of 3.7 years. Both distributions are moderately skewed to the right. Suppose we take a simple random sample of 35 gas ranges and a second SRS of 40 electric ranges. Which of the following best describes the sampling distribution of the difference in mean life span of gas ranges and electric ranges?
a. Mean = 1.6 years, standard deviation = 7.9 years, shape: moderately right-skewed.
b. Mean = 1.6 years, standard deviation - 0.92 years, shape: approximately Normal.
c. Mean= 1.6 years, standard deviation = 0.92 years, shape: moderately right skewed.
d. Mean =1.6 years, standard deviation =0.40 years, shape: approximately Normal.
e. Mean =1.6 years, standard deviation =0.40 years, shape: moderately right skewed.

Answer:

b. Mean = 1.6 years, standard deviation - 0.92 years, shape: approximately Normal.

Step-by-step explanation:

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.

Subtraction of normal Variables:

When we subtract normal variables, the mean is the subtraction of the means, while the standard deviation is the square root of the sum of the variances.

A consumer group has determined that the distribution of life spans for gas ranges (stoves) has a mean of 15.0 years and a standard deviation of 4.2 years. Sample of 35:

This means that:

\mu_G = 15

s_G = \frac{4.2}{\sqrt{35}} = 0.71

The distribution of life spans for electric ranges has a mean of 13.4 years and a standard deviation of 3.7 years. Sample of 40:

This means that:

\mu_E = 13.4

s_E = \frac{3.7}{\sqrt{40}} = 0.585

Which of the following best describes the sampling distribution of the difference in mean life span of gas ranges and electric ranges?

Shape is approximately normal.

Mean:

\mu = \mu_G - \mu_E = 15 - 13.4 = 1.6

Standard deviation:

s = \sqrt{s_G^2+s_E^2} = \sqrt{0.71^2+0.585^2} = 0.92

So the correct answer is given by option b.

You are the administrator of an annual essay contest scholarship fund. This year a $80,000 college scholarship is being divided
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

Runner Up Amount=$16,000

Winner Amount=$64,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of the college's scholarship=$80,000

The fund is being divided between the top two contestants so that the winner receives four times as much as the runner-up.

Therefore: we can say it is being divided into 5 parts where the winner gets 4 parts and the runner up gets 1 part, i.e in the ratio 4:1.

Runner Up Amount=\dfrac{1}{5}X\$ $80,000=\$16000

Winner Amount=\dfrac{4}{5}X\$ $80,000=\$64000

The winner gets $64,000 and the runner up gets $16,000.

an indy car driver has to be a certain height to fit into the race car. The following inequality 175<=3x-17<=187, where x
enot [183]

Given inequality : 175 ≤ 3x-17 ≤ 187, where x represents the height of the driver in inches.

Let us solve the inequality for x.

We have 17 is being subtracted in the middle.

Reverse operation of subtraction is addition. So, adding 17 on both sides and also in the middle, we get

175+17 ≤ 3x-17+17 ≤ 187+17

192  ≤ 3x ≤ 204.

Dividing by 3.

192/3  ≤ 3x/3 ≤ 204/3.

64 ≤ x ≤ 68.

Therefore, the height of the driver should be from 64 to 68 inches  to fit into the race car.
