Answer:
0.5034 = 50.34% probability that the sample mean would differ from the true mean by less than 1.1 months
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.
Normal probability distribution:
Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean and standard deviation
, the zscore of a measure X is given by:
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 and standard deviation
, the sample means with size n of at least 30 can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean
In this problem, we have that:
What is the probability that the sample mean would differ from the true mean by less than 1.11 months?
This is the pvalue of Z when X = 119 + 1.1 = 120.1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 119 - 1.1 = 117.9. So
X = 120.1
By the Central Limit Theorem
has a pvalue of 0.7517
X = 117.9
has a pvalue of 0.2483
0.7517 - 0.2483 = 0.5034
0.5034 = 50.34% probability that the sample mean would differ from the true mean by less than 1.1 months
Answer:
(14, -2)
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve by using substitution, begin by solving for a variable in the first equation. Let's solve for x:
Now we know what <em>x</em> equals. Let's substitute this into the second equation:
We can then simplify:
Given equation
Combine y terms
Add 2
Divide by -11
So, we now know the value of y = -2.
To find the value of X, we can substitute the value of Y into one of the equations. Let's use the first one:
Substitute for y
Distribute 8
Add 16
So, we now know the value of x = 14.
Therefore, we know a solution to the system of equations is (14, -2).
