Find the slope and y-intercept of the line.

A distribution of values is normal with a mean of 220 and a standard deviation of 13. From this distribution, you are drawing sa

Paraphin [41]

Answer:

The interval containing the middle-most 48% of sample means is between 218.59 to 221.41.

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 normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore 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 pvalue, 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 distributied random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 220, \sigma = 13, n = 35, s = \frac{13}{\sqrt{35}} = 2.1974$

Find the interval containing the middle-most 48% of sample means:

50 - 48/2 = 26th percentile to 50 + 48/2 = 74th percentile. So

74th percentile

value of X when Z has a pvalue of 0.74. So X when Z = 0.643.

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

$0.643 = \frac{X - 220}{2.1974}$

$X - 220 = 0.643*2.1974$

$X = 221.41$

26th percentile

Value of X when Z has a pvalue of 0.26. So X when Z = -0.643

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

$-0.643 = \frac{X - 220}{2.1974}$

$X - 220 = -0.643*2.1974$

$X = 218.59$

The interval containing the middle-most 48% of sample means is between 218.59 to 221.41.

A die is thrown . find the probability of (1) a multiple of 2 or 3

tangare [24]

Answer:

A die is thrown which means that it can land on either 1-6 on the die.So if you want to find the probability of the multiple of 2 or 3....we have multiplies of 2 in the die from 1-6 which is 2,4 and 6 if you count them they are just 3 numbers and since there is a probability of it to land on any of them it will be 3/6 which is 1/2 if yiu divide by 3 to it's lowest term....Then multiple of 3 is 3,and 6.which will be 2/6 which is 1/3 if u cut to its lowest term. Or in the question means addition sign in probability then it is 2 or 3 which is (1/2)+(1/3)=5/6.Thank you for the question

How many quarter hours are in 5 hours?

nikklg [1K]

There is a few ways to get the result.
Lets try this.
First calculate how many minutes are in the 5 hours.
60min*5=300min - in 5 hours
Now, knowing that quarter is 15min we can divide 300 by 15 to get the result, so
300:15=20 - its the result.

qaws [65]

Triangle ABC would remain the same because a dilation generally preserves the measure of an angle.

<h3>What is scale factor?</h3>

A scale factor simply refers to a ratio of two (2) corresponding side lengths or diameter in two (2) similar geometric figures such as triangles.

In this exercise, you're required to construct a dilation of triangle ABC that is centered at B with a scale factor of 2 by using a compass and straightedge.

In conclusion, triangle ABC would remain the same because a dilation generally preserves the measure of an angle.
