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 does the increased mobility of our society affect us as individuals? How does it affect the way we form relationships?​
blondinia [14]

It affects us in a negative way because it makes things much easier for us, yet in the future it will leave us without the ability to do the things we had to do before the mobility. It affects the way we form relationships because we don't talk in person, we talk through mobile devices.  We form relationships with people we may not even know.

The text says that the American and British demand for unconditional surrender was actually a
seropon [69]

Answer:

Explanation:

The Second World War (WWII) was one of the major transformative events of the 20th century, with 39 million deaths in Europe alone.

Periods of hunger became more common even in relatively prosperous Western Europe.

Putting aside the very real human cost, war has also serious economic costs – loss of buildings, infrastructure, a decline in the working population, uncertainty, rise in debt and disruption to normal economic activity.

If wars alter long-term economic growth, they would permanently depress economic prospects of future generations so they had to surrender.

Mortality rate has reduced, lack of father to children and the war has cause severe hungers

What is the relationship between the mind and the body?
Rom4ik [11]
The answer is C. This is because the mind can make the body do anything, and the body can make the brain think certain things also. So basically the mind and the body play tag with each other on this topic.
