Answer:

The probability that the sample mean would be at least $39000 is of 0.8665 = 86.65%.

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 $39725 and standard deviation $7320.

This means that \mu = 39725, \sigma = 7320

Sample of 125

This means that n = 125, s = \frac{7320}{\sqrt{125}}

The probability that the sample mean would be at least $39000 is about?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 39000. So

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

Z = \frac{39000 - 39725}{\frac{7320}{\sqrt{125}}}

Z = -1.11

Z = -1.11 has a pvalue of 0.1335

1 - 0.1335 = 0.8665

The probability that the sample mean would be at least $39000 is of 0.8665 = 86.65%.

Coby sells apples and bananas at his fruit store. He charges $6 for a bunch of bananas, and $8 for a pound of apples. If a custo
Over [174]

Answer:

  • 6 bunches of bananas
  • 7 pounds of apples

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to assume that a "piece of fruit" is either a bunch of bananas or a pound of apples. Without that assumption, there is insufficient information to work the problem.

Let B represent the number of bunches of bananas. Then 13-B is the number of pounds of apples. The total cost is ...

  6B +8(13 -B) = 92

  -2B + 104 = 92 . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  B = -12/-2 = 6 . . . . . . subtract 104, then divide by the coefficient of B

  13-B = 7 . . . . . . . . . . . the number of pounds of apples

The customer bought 6 bunches of bananas and 7 pounds of apples.

_____

<em>Comment on the solution</em>

You will note that finding the value of the variable involved arithmetic with negative numbers. If you want the numbers to stay positive, then you can choose the variable to represent <em>the most expensive</em> of the items: the number of pounds of apples.

Triangle OPQ is similar to triangle PST. Need this asap
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

58.2

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the length of RS using similarity ratio

7/34 = 12/RS cross multiply expressions

7RS = 408 divide both sides by 7

RS = 58.2 approximately.
