The available balance online may not reflect all debit transactions or all checks that were written. Some recent debit transactions and check written may not have been posted to his account yet. The available balance would need to subtract any outstanding debit transactions and any written checks that have not cleared his account. This would yield the correct available balance.

A ski lift is designed with a total load limit of 20,000 pounds. It claims a capacity of 100 persons. An expert in ski lifts thi

Yanka [14]

Answer:

0.5 = 50% probability that a random sample of 100 independent persons will cause an overload

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

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

The Z-score 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. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

For the sum of n values of a distribution, the mean is $\mu \times n$ and the standard deviation is $\sigma\sqrt{n}$

An expert in ski lifts thinks that the weights of individuals using the lift have expected weight of 200 pounds and standard deviation of 30 pounds. 100 individuals.

This means that $\mu = 200*100 = 20000, \sigma = 30\sqrt{100} = 300$

If the expert is right, what is the probability that a random sample of 100 independent persons will cause an overload

Total load of more than 20,000 pounds, which is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 20000. So

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

$Z = \frac{20000 - 20000}{300}$

$Z = 0$

$Z = 0$ has a pvalue of 0.5

1 - 0.5 = 0.5

0.5 = 50% probability that a random sample of 100 independent persons will cause an overload
