Annual starting salaries in a certain region of the U. S. for college graduates with an engineering major are normally distribut

ed with mean $39725 and standard deviation $7320. Suppose a school takes a sample of 125 such graduates and records the annual starting salary of each. The probability that the sample mean would be at least $39000 is about

Answer:

0.8665 = 86.65% probability that the sample mean would be at least $39000

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}} = 654.72

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}{654.72}

Z = -1.11

Z = -1.11 has a pvalue of 0.1335

1 - 0.1335 = 0.8665

0.8665 = 86.65% probability that the sample mean would be at least $39000

mr_godi [17]

A.  The y-intercept is y = −0.05 x + 16 and the x-intercept is x = −20y + 320

B. The x-intercept represents the number of miles the car has traveled.

C. The y-intercept represents the number of gas in gallons.

Firdavs [7]

Answer:

y = 2x + 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Hope this helps!!!

First, you have to find the slope by using

In other words,

The slope is 2.

Then you plug the rest into point-slope form (you can use either of the points, I used the first one)

Remember that m is the slope.

Distribute the slope to the parenthesis

Isolate the y variable

Write the expression without the fraction bar.
kirill115 [55]
For problems like this you can move the y's on the bottem up top by fliping the sign of the exponent (in this case 7 to -7) and MULTIPLYING it with EVERYTHING on top, then because of properties of multplication you can add the exponents to combine them into one term (in this case add 3 and -7 to get -4) \frac{ y^{3} }{y^{7}}=y^3 *y^{-7} = y^{3+-7}=y^{3-7}=y^-4 If any of this does not make sense let me know and ill try to clarify better
