A veterinary researcher takes a random sample of 60 horses presenting with colic. The average age of the random sample of horses

Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

Probability that a sample mean is 12 or larger for a sample from the horse population is 0.0262.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a veterinary researcher takes a random sample of 60 horses presenting with colic. The average age of the random sample of horses with colic is 12 years. The average age of all horses seen at the veterinary clinic was determined to be 10 years. The researcher also determined that the standard deviation of all horses coming to the veterinary clinic is 8 years.

So, firstly according to Central limit theorem the z score probability distribution for sample means is given by;

Z = $\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\bar X$ = average age of the random sample of horses with colic = 12 yrs

$\mu$ = average age of all horses seen at the veterinary clinic = 10 yrs

$\sigma$ = standard deviation of all horses coming to the veterinary clinic = 8 yrs

n = sample of horses = 60

So, probability that a sample mean is 12 or larger for a sample from the horse population is given by = P( $\bar X$ $\geq$ 12)

P( $\bar X$ $\geq$ 12) = P( $\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ $\geq$ $\frac{12-10}{\frac{8}{\sqrt{60} } }$ ) = P(Z $\geq$ 1.94) = 1 - P(Z < 1.94)

= 1 - 0.97381 = 0.0262

Therefore, probability that a sample mean is 12 or larger for a sample from the horse population is 0.0262.

Read the following statement. If a number is divisible by 2,then it is even what is the inverse of this statement?

Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

If it is an even number, then it is divisible by 2

Step-by-step explanation:

You flip the order of statements. One statement is "a number is divisible by 2", the other is "it is even" is the other.

Does bin width matter when it comes to histograms? Why or why not?

maw [93]

Answer:

Avoid histograms with small bin widths that group data into lots of bins. A histogram constructed with small bin widths will show the distribution as a “pancake.” so no it does not help us see the pattern in the data.

The sum of 4 consecutive even integers is -12. find the largest integer.

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

The largest even integer is 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The sum of four consecutive even number = - 12

Let The first even number = 2 x

The second even number = (2 x + 2)

The third even number = (2 x + 4)

The fourth even number = (2 x + 6)

<u>According to question</u>

sum of four consecutive even number = - 12

Or, 2 x + (2 x + 2) + (2 x + 4) + (2 x + 6) = - 12

Or, (2 x + 2 x + 2 x + 2 x) + (2 + 4 + 6) = - 12

Or, 8 x + 12 = - 12

Or, 8 x = - 12 - 12

Or, 8 x = - 24

∴ x = $\frac{- 24}{8}$

i.e x = - 3

now, putting the value of x

The first even number = 2 × - 3 = - 6

The second even number = (2 × - 3 + 2) = - 6 + 2 = - 4

The third even number = (2 × - 3 + 4) = - 6 + 4 = - 2

The fourth even number = (2 × - 3 + 6) = - 6 + 6 = 0

So, The largest even integer = 0

Hence, The largest even integer is 0 Answer
