The Office of Student Services at a large western state university maintains information on the study habits of its full-time st

udents. Their studies indicate that the mean amount of time undergraduate students study per week is 20 hours. The hours studied follows the normal distribution with a population standard deviation of seven hours. Suppose we select a random sample of 125 current students. What is the probability that the mean of this sample is between 19.25 hours and 21.0 hours

There is a probability of 77% that the mean of this sample is between 19.25 hours and 21.0 hours

Z score is used to determine by how many standard deviations the raw score is above or below the mean. The z score is given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma/\sqrt{n} } \\\\where\ x=raw\ score,\mu=mean,\sigma=standard\ deviation,n=sample\ size

Given that μ = 20, σ = 7, n = 125.

For x = 19.25:

z=\frac{19.25-20}{7/\sqrt{125} } =-1.20\\\\\\For\ x=21:\\\\z=\frac{21-20}{7/\sqrt{125} } =0.62

From the normal distribution table, P(-1.20 < z < 0.62) = P(z < 0.62) - P(z < -1.2) = 0.8849 - 0.1151 = 0.7698 = 77%

There is a probability of 77% that the mean of this sample is between 19.25 hours and 21.0 hours

gavmur [86]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

An eccentric philanthropist undertakes to give away $100,000. He is eccentric because he insists that each of his gifts be a number of dollars that is a power of two, and he will give no more than one gift of any amount. How does he distribute the money?

To solve this problem, we will simply write 1,00,000 in base 2.

2^17 gives 131072, 2^16 gives 65536.

So, the first gift is 65536, we then need to repeat this process for  34,464 ((100,000-65536 = 34,464), to get all gifts in succession.

6 gifts in all: one each of $32, $128, $512, $1024, $32768, and $65536.

Estimate 19.164 - 9.53 by first rounding each number to the nearest tenth.
Lina20 [59]
19.164 can be rounded to 19.2. That is because 0.164 is closer to 0.2 than it is to 0.1

9.53 rounded the the nearest tenth is 9.5 because 0.53 is closer to 0.5 than it is to 0.6.

19.2 - 9.5 = 9.7

Your answer is 9.7
