Answer:

The value of g(f(3)) = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given:

$f(x)=2x$

$g(x) = x-4$

And we need to find g(f(3))

First we need to find g(f(x))

by putting the value of f(x) into g(x) i.e put x = 2x

$g(x)=x-4\\g(f(x))=2x-4$

Now, we need to find g(f(3)) by putting x = 3 in g(f(x))

$g(f(x))=2x-4\\Put\: x=3\\g(f(3))=2(3)-4\\g(f(3))=6-4\\g(f(3))=2$

So, the value of g(f(3)) = 2

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 $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .
