Answer:

100% probability that the sample mean scores will be between 87 and 124 points

Step-by-step explanation:

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

Normal probability distribution:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using 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 random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, a large sample size can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation, which is also called standard error s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 105, \sigma = 20, n = 20, s = \frac{20}{\sqrt{20}} = 4.47

What is the probability that the sample mean scores will be between 87 and 124 points

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 124 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 87. So

X = 124

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

Z = \frac{124 - 105}{4.47}

Z = 4.25

Z = 4.25 has a pvalue of 1

X = 87

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

Z = \frac{87 - 105}{4.47}

Z = -4.25

Z = -4.25 has a pvalue of 0

1 - 0 = 1

100% probability that the sample mean scores will be between 87 and 124 points

For each pair of similar figures, find the ratio of the area of the first figure to the area of the second.
Hitman42 [59]

answer:

\frac{4}{9}


explanation:

the area of the larger square is 36 (6*6), and the area of the smaller square is 16 (4*4). to find the ratio of the area, simply just put 16 over 36 and simplify.

\frac{16}{36} = \frac{4}{9}
