The mean for the total cost of the two items is 82. The standard deviation of the total cost of the two items is 14.14214. The probability of finding two random items at this auction with a total price of less than $80 is 0.44377.

<h3>What is a random variable?</h3>

A random variable is a variable with an undetermined value that gives values to each of the results of a statistical experiment.

From the parameters given:

  • Let us assume that X represents the random variable that connotes the price of the item during the large auction.

Given that:

  • X is normally distributed with a mean of $41 and
  • A standard deviation of $10

X \sim N(μ, σ²)

X \sim N(41, 10²)

Suppose we made an assumption that Y should denote the total cost of items:

i.e.

Y = X₁ + X₂

Here;

\mathbf{X_i \sim N(41, 10^2)} \\ \\ \mathbf{E(Y) = E(X_1+X_2) } \\ \\ \mathbf{E(Y) = 41 + 41 } \\ \\  \mathbf{E(Y) = 82}

The variance of (Y) is:

\mathbf{Var (Y) = Var(X_1+X_2) = Var (X_1) + Var(X_2) } \\ \\\mathbf{= 10^2+ 10^2} \\ \\ \mathbf{=200}

\mathbf{Standard \ deviation \ SD (Y) = \sqrt{200} }

= 14.14214

The probability of finding the two random items at the auction with a total price of less than $80 can be computed as:

P(Y < 80)  

Since the data is normally distributed,

\mathbf{=P\Big(Z < \dfrac{x -\mu}{\sigma}\Big)}

\mathbf{=P\Big(Z < \dfrac{80 -82}{14.14214}\Big)}

\mathbf{=P\Big(Z < -0.1414213\Big)}

Recall that:

P(Z < -z) = P(Z > z)

Hence;

= P (Z  > 0.1414213)

= 1 - P(Z ≤  0.1414213)

From the Z tables, the value of Z at 0.1414213 is 0.55623;

=  1 -  0.55623

= 0.44377

Therefore, we can conclude that the probability of finding two random items at this auction with a total price of less than $80 is 0.44377.

How did industrialization shape the nature of and expectations about family life?
hjlf

"<em>Urbanization as more and more people moved to cities to find work. It led to our modern ideas of consumer society, as people were able to begin to choose different brands to buy, based on everything from the price, to quality, to designs, patterns, and colors. Companies began to make different models of things in order to attract more buyers, so it could be seen as the beginning of modern capitalism. It led to an increase in technology, as more and more machines were invented and used to help increase the efficiency at which products were made, leading to lower prices and more availability. Also, it was the first time that a source of power, other than muscles power (human or animal,) was used to create products. It led to a more connected world, as new technology like trains, steam engines, and railroads that were designed to more quickly transport goods, were also used to better connect people. It helped establish the industrialized nations (mainly England and America) as the dominant world powers. It would eventually lead to more rights for workers and the concept of the modern working conditions we have, although at the start this would not have been true. It helped women begin to break the cult of domesticity, as  more and more young, unmarried women got jobs.</em>" according to Michael P.
