Using the normal distribution, there is a 0.4826 = 48.26% probability that the sample mean is between 15 and 16 grams per day.
<h3>Normal Probability Distribution</h3>
The z-score of a measure X of a normally distributed variable with mean
and standard deviation
is given by:

- The z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is above or below the mean.
- Looking at the z-score table, the p-value associated with this z-score is found, which is the percentile of X.
- By the Central Limit Theorem, the sampling distribution of sample means of size n has standard deviation
.
For this problem, the parameters are given as follows:

The probability is the <u>p-value of Z when X = 16 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 15</u>, hence:
X = 16:

By the Central Limit Theorem


Z = 2.11
Z = 2.11 has a p-value of 0.9826.
X = 15:


Z = 0
Z = 0 has a p-value of 0.5.
0.9826 - 0.5 = 0.4826 = 48.26% probability that the sample mean is between 15 and 16 grams per day.

Answer:
396 in.^2
Step-by-step explanation:
The cushion is shaped like a cylinder with 14 inch diameter and 2 inch height.
We need to find the surface area of the cylinder.
diameter = 14 in.
radius = diameter/2 = 7 in.
height = 2 in.
A = 2(pi)r^2 + 2(pi)rh
A = 2(3.14159)(7 in.)^2 + 2(3.14159)(7 in.)(2 in.)
A = 395.84 in.^2
A = 396 in.^2
Answer:
The two numbers following 1,-2,3,-4,5... are -6 and 7.
Step-by-step explanation:
index: 1 2 3 4 5 ....
value: 1 -2 3 -4 5
Let the index be n. Then the first term is a(1), the secon is a(2), and so on.
a(2) = 2*(-1)^(2-1) = 2*(-1) = -2 (correct)
a(3) = 3*(-1)^(3-1) = 3*(-1)^2 = 3 (correct)
a(4) = 4*(-1)^(4-1) = 4*(-1)^3 = -4 (correct)
So the general formula for a(n) is: a(n)=n(-1)^(n-1)
Thus,
a(5) = 5(-1)^4 = 5
a(6) = 6(-1)^5 = -6
a(7) = 7(-1)^6 = 7
The "next two numbers in the pattern" are -6 and 7. The first 7 numbers are
1,-2,3,-4,5, -6, 7
Six more than: 6 + or + 6
twice a number: let n represent the unknown number: 2n
6 + 2n = 16
So, the answer is either c or d
So, solve the equation
Subtract 6 on both sides of the equation
2n=10
Divide by 2 on both sides of the equation
n=5
So, the answer is C
