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.

Answer:

No, She is not correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

A reflection across the Y axis changes the X value.

If you look at point B and point B prime, the coordinates dont change at all. Which makes this incorrect, I believe.

A and b are positive integers and a–b = 3. Evaluate the following:
yulyashka [42]

1/27

1/27

125

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

a - b = 3

9^(1/2b) /3^a = 3^(2/2b) /3^a

= 3^b/3^a

= 3^(b-a)

= 3^(-3)

= 27^(-1)

= 1/27

27^(1/3b) /9^(1/2a) = 3^(3/3b) /3^(2/2a)

= 3^b/3^a

= 3^(b-a)

= 3^(-3)

= 27^(-1)

= 1/27

125^(1/3a) /25^(1/2b) = 5^(3/3a) /5^(2/2b)

= 5^a/5^b

= 5^(a- b)

= 5^3

= 125

The number has 2 digits - let's call them x and y. The positive difference between the two combinations (lowest-highest and highest-lowest) is always equal to the positive difference of x and y, multiplied by 9.

For example:

76 and 67: 76 - 67 = 9 and ((7-6)*9) = 1*9 = 9
73 and 37: 73 - 37 = 36 and ((7-3)*9) = 4*9 = 36
