Answer:

Look below

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean of the sampling distribution always equals the mean of the population.

μxˉ​=μ

The standard deviation of the sampling distribution is σ/√n, where n is the sample size

σxˉ​=σ/n​

When a variable in a population is normally distributed, the sampling distribution of for all possible samples of size n is also normally distributed.

If the population is N ( µ, σ) then the sample means distribution is N ( µ, σ/ √ n).

Central Limit Theorem: When randomly sampling from any population with mean µ and standard deviation σ, when n is large enough, the sampling distribution of is approximately normal: ~ N ( µ, σ/ √ n ).

How large a sample size?

It depends on the population distribution. More observations are required if the population distribution is far from normal.

A sample size of 25 is generally enough to obtain a normal sampling distribution from a strong skewness or even mild outliers.

A sample size of 40 will typically be good enough to overcome extreme skewness and outliers.

In many cases, n = 25 isn’t a huge sample. Thus, even for strange population distributions we can assume a normal sampling distribution of the mean and work with it to solve problems.

A hot air balloon went from an elevation of 4,064 feet to an elevation of 3,322 feet in 28 minutes. What
ELEN [110]

Answer:

<em>The air balloon descends 26.5 feet per minute</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Rate of Change</u>

The rate of change is a measure that compares two quantities, usually to know how one variable changes in time.

The hot air balloon was 4,064 feet high and, 28 minutes later, it went to 3,322 feet. We can calculate the rate of descent R by dividing the change of elevation over time:

\displaystyle R=\frac{3,322-4,064}{28}=\frac{-742}{28}=-26.5

Thus the air balloon descends 26.5 feet per minute

Select the equation in which the graph of the line has a negative slope and the y intercept equals -5
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Next time, please share the possible answer choices.

Since the slope and y-intercept are given here, we can immediately write out the slope-intercept form of the equation of this line:

y = mx + b becomes y = -1x - 5, where I have arbitrarily chosen the negative slope -1.
