SAT verbal scores are normally distributed with a mean of 430 and a standard deviation of 120 (based on data from the College Bo

ard ATP). (a) If a single student is randomly selected, find the probability that the sample mean is above 500. (b) If a sample of 35 students are selected randomly, find the probability that the sample mean is above 500. These two problems appear to be very similar. Which problem requires the application of the central limit theorem, and in what way does the solution process differ between the two problems?

Using the <u>normal distribution and the central limit theorem</u>, it is found that there is a:

a) 0.281 = 28.1% probability that the sample mean is above 500.

b) 0.0003 = 0.03% probability that the sample mean is above 500.

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 430, hence \mu = 430.
  • The standard deviation is of 120, hence \sigma = 120.

Item a:

The probability is the <u>p-value of Z when X = 500</u>, hence:

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

Z = \frac{500 - 430}{120}

Z = 0.58

Z = 0.58 has a p-value of 0.719.

1 - 0.719 = 0.281

0.281 = 28.1% probability that the sample mean is above 500.

Item b:

Sample of 35, hence n = 35, s = \frac{120}{\sqrt{35}}

Then:

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

Z = \frac{500 - 430}{\frac{120}{\sqrt{35}}}

Z = 3.45

Z = 3.45 has a p-value of 0.9997.

1 - 0.9997 = 0.0003

0.0003 = 0.03% probability that the sample mean is above 500.

7. What is the volume of the prism? 8 cm 5.8 cm A. 29 cm B. 87 cm3 15.2 cm C. 512.3 cm3 D. 705.3 cm
bija089 [108]

The volume of the rectangular prism is

V=L\times W\times H

Where:

L is its length

W is its width

H is its height

From the given figure

L = 15.2 cm

W = 8 cm

H = 5.8 cm

Substitute them in the rule above

\begin{gathered} V=15.2\times8\times5.8 \\ V=705.28\operatorname{cm}^3 \end{gathered}

Round it to the nearest tenth

V=705.3\operatorname{cm}^3

When do you hear/use imperial measures in Canada?
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

Canadians typically use a mix of metric and imperial measurements in their daily lives.  Although Canadian driver's licences give height in centimetres, many Canadians also use imperial units to indicate height and weight.
