A research study investigated differences between male and female students. Based on the study results, we can assume the popula

tion mean and standard deviation for the GPA of male students are µ = 3. 5 and Ď = 0. 5. Suppose a random sample of 100 male students is selected and the GPA for each student is calculated. Find the interval that contains 95. 44 percent of the sample means for male students.

Using the <u>normal distribution and the central limit theorem</u>, it is found that the interval that contains 99.44% of the sample means for male students is (3.4, 3.6).

In a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the z-score of a measure X is given by:

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

  • It 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, which is the percentile of X.
  • By the Central Limit Theorem, the sampling distribution of sample means of size n has standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

In this problem:

  • The mean is of \mu = 3.5.
  • The standard deviation is of \sigma = 0.5.
  • Sample of 100, hence n = 100, s = \frac{0.5}{\sqrt{100}} = 0.05

The interval that contains 95.44% of the sample means for male students is <u>between Z = -2 and Z = 2</u>, as the subtraction of their p-values is 0.9544, hence:

Z = -2:

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

-2 = \frac{X - 3.5}{0.05}

X - 3.5 = -0.1

X = 3.4

Z = 2:

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

2 = \frac{X - 3.5}{0.05}

X - 3.5 = 0.1

X = 3.6

The interval that contains 99.44% of the sample means for male students is (3.4, 3.6).

Does anyone know this?
zzz [600]

Answer:

-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Since x=1, we can simplify the equation to 9+7y=-12.

To find the value of 7y, we first have to find what is missing.

-12-9=-21, so 7y has to be equal to -21. -21/7 equals -3, so y=-3.

Find the area of a rhombus with side length 6 and an interior angle with measure $120^\circ$.
Serhud [2]

Answer:

The area of a rhombus is 18\sqrt{3} square units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Side length of rhombus = 6 units.

Interior angle of rhombus = 120°

another Interior angle of rhombus = 180°-120° = 60°.

Draw an altitude.

In a right angled triangle

\sin \theta=\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}

\sin (60)=\frac{h}{6}

\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}=\frac{h}{6}

Multiply both sides by 6.

3\sqrt{3}=h

The height of the rhombus is 3\sqrt{3}.

Area of a rhombus is

Area=base\times height

Area=6\times 3\sqrt{3}

Area=18\sqrt{3}

Therefore, the area of a rhombus is 18\sqrt{3} square units.
