Using the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem, it is found that there is a 0.04 = 4% probability that the mean ticket price exceeds $35.

------------------------------------------

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 establishes 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.  

------------------------------------------

The average ticket price for a Spring Training baseball game is $32.61, with a standard deviation of $8.62.

This means that \mu = 32.61, \sigma = 8.62

------------------------------------------

Sample of 40:

This means that n = 40, s = \frac{8.62}{\sqrt{40}}

------------------------------------------

In a random sample of 40 Spring Training tickets, find the probability that the mean ticket price exceeds $35.

This is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 35, so:

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

Z = \frac{35 - 32.61}{\frac{8.62}{\sqrt{40}}}

Z = 1.754

Z = 1.754 has a p-value of 0.96.

1 - 0.96 = 0.04

0.04 = 4% probability that the mean ticket price exceeds $35.

1. Find the measurement of angle J.<br><br> 2. (5x - 13) (3x + 17)
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

Q1. x= 18, y=59

Q2. m∠J= 56°

Step-by-step explanation:

Q1. (3x +5)°= y° (base ∠s of isos. △)

y= 3x +5 -----(1)

(3x +5)° +y° +(4x -10)°= 180° (∠ sum of △)

3x +5 +y +4x -10= 180

7x +y -5= 180

7x +y= 180 +5

7x +y= 185 -----(2)

Substitute (1) into (2):

7x +3x +5= 185

10x= 185 -5

10x= 180

x= 180 ÷10

x= 18

Substitute x= 18 into (1):

y= 3(18) +5

y= 59

Q2. (5x -13)°= (3x +17)° (base ∠s of isos. △)

5x -13= 3x +17

5x -3x= 17 +13

2x= 30

x= 30 ÷2

x= 15

∠LKJ

= 3(15) +17

= 62°

∠KLJ= 62° (base ∠s of isos. △)

m∠J

= 180° -62° -62° (∠ sum of △JKL)

= 56°
