Answer:

0.7780

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore 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 pvalue, 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.

Population:

We have that \mu = 7.19, \sigma = 0.86

Sample of 12:

n = 12, s = \frac{0.86}{\sqrt{12}} = 0.2483

What is the probability that the mean cost will be more than $7.00?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 7. So

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

Z = \frac{7 - 7.19}{0.2483}

Z = -0.765

Z = -0.765 has a pvalue of 0.222

1 - 0.222 = 0.778

So the answer is 0.7780

A(-9,5)\qquad B(15,-11)\qquad
\qquad \stackrel{\textit{ratio from A to B}}{7:1}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{A\underline{p}}{\underline{p} B} = \cfrac{7}{1}\implies \cfrac{A}{B} = \cfrac{7}{1}\implies 1A=7B\implies 1(-9,5)=7(15,-11)\\\\

\bf p=\left(\cfrac{\textit{sum of "x" values}}{\textit{sum of ratios}}\quad ,\quad \cfrac{\textit{sum of "y" values}}{\textit{sum of ratios}}\right)\\\\

p=\left(\cfrac{(1\cdot -9)+(7\cdot 15)}{7+1}\quad ,\quad \cfrac{(1\cdot 5)+(7\cdot -11)}{7+1}\right)
\\\\\\
p=\left(\cfrac{-9+105}{8}~~,~~\cfrac{5-77}{8}  \right)\implies p=\left( \cfrac{96}{8}~~,~~\cfrac{-72}{8} \right)
\\\\\\
p=(12~,~-9)
