7.43: Let X denote the random variable for height and \overline X for the sample mean. Then if \mu is the mean of

So the probability that the difference between the sample and population means does not exceed 0.5 inch is

P(|\overline X-\mu|\le0.5) = P\left(\left|\dfrac{\overline X-\mu}{0.25}\right|\le\dfrac{0.5}{0.25}\right) = P(|Z|\le 2) \approx \boxed{0.95}

per the empirical or 68/95/99.7 rule.

7.44: For a sample of size <em>n</em>, the sample standard deviation would be \frac{2.5}{\sqrt n}. We want to find <em>n</em> such that

P(|\overline X-\mu| < 0.4) = 0.95

Comparing to the equation from the previous part, this means we would need

\dfrac{0.4}{\frac{2.5}{\sqrt{n}}} = 0.16\sqrt n = 2 \implies \sqrt n = 12.5 \implies n = 156.25

so a sample of at least 157 men would be sufficient.

Which equation represents a line parallel to 3x-8y=12?
TEA [102]

Answer:

B. y = -3/8x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation: 3x - 8y = 12

Find a parallel line that matches one of the equations shown.

First, find the slope by solving for y:

3x - 8y = 12

8y = -3x + 12

y = -3/8x + 12/8

y = -3/8x + 3/2

Slope m = -3/8

Since the slope of a line parallel is the same slope, the only equation that fits the conditions is B because in the form y = mx + b, m = -3/8
