Answer:

a) P(X < 99) = 0.2033.

b) P(98 < X < 100) = 0.4525

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 normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the z-score 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 p-value, 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.

Mean of 100 and variance of 36.

This means that \mu = 100, \sigma = \sqrt{36} = 6

Sample of 25:

This means that n = 25, s = \frac{6}{\sqrt{25}} = 1.2

(a) P(X<99)

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 99. So

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

Z = \frac{99 - 100}{1.2}

Z = -0.83

Z = -0.83 has a pvalue of 0.2033. So

P(X < 99) = 0.2033.

b) P(98 < X < 100)

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 100 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 98. So

X = 100

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

Z = \frac{100 - 100}{1.2}

Z = 0

Z = 0 has a pvalue of 0.5

X = 98

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

Z = \frac{98 - 100}{1.2}

Z = -1.67

Z = -1.67 has a pvalue of 0.0475

0.5 - 0.0475 = 0.4525

So

P(98 < X < 100) = 0.4525

D=C(1+rt/100) solve for r
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

r= −100c+100d/ct

Step-by-step explanation:

d=c(1+rt/100)

1/100crt+c=d

1/100crt+c+−c=d+−c

1/100crt=−c+d

\frac{1/100crt}{ct/100} = \frac{-c + d}{ct/100}

What are the coordinates of each point after quadrilateral ABCD is reflected across the y-axis and then translated 2 units down?
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

A" =(-1,-1)    B" =(-2,1)

C" =(-4,1)    D" =(-5,-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

A = (1,1)        B =(2,3)

C = (4,3)        D = (5,1)

Required

The new coordinates after reflected across y-axis and shifted 2 units down

When a point is reflected across the y-axis, the rule is:

(x,y)=>(-x,y)

So:

A = (1,1) => A' = (-1,1)

B =(2,3) => B' = (-2,3)

C = (4,3) => C' = (-4,3)

D = (5,1) => D' = (-5,1)

When a point is translated 2 units down, the rule is:

(x,y) => (x,y-2)

So:

A = (1,1) => A' = (-1,1) => A" =(-1,-1)

B =(2,3) => B' = (-2,3) => B" =(-2,1)

C = (4,3) => C' = (-4,3)=> C" =(-4,1)

D = (5,1) => D' = (-5,1) => D" =(-5,-1)

So, the new coordinates are:

A" =(-1,-1)    B" =(-2,1)

C" =(-4,1)    D" =(-5,-1)
