1. b. 80; 5

2. c. 6

3. A. p = 0.0062

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The central limit theorem states that "if we have a population with mean μ and standard deviation σ and take sufficiently large random samples from the population with replacement, then the distribution of the sample means will be approximately normally distributed. This will hold true regardless of whether the source population is normal or skewed, provided the sample size is sufficiently large".

Part 1

Let X the random variable who represents the variable of interest. We know from the problem that the distribution for the random variable X is given by:

$X\sim N(\mu =80,\sigma =20)$

We select samples of size n=16. That represent the sample size.

From the central limit theorem we know that the distribution for the sample mean $\bar X$ is given by:

$\bar X \sim N(\mu, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})$

So the expected value would be 80 and the standard error Se=20/sqrt(16)=5.

b. 80; 5

Part 2

Let X the random variable who represents the variable of interest. We know from the problem that the distribution for the random variable X is given by:

$X\sim N(\mu =80,\sigma =18)$

We select samples of size n=9. That represent the sample size.

From the central limit theorem we know that the distribution for the sample mean $\bar X$ is given by:

$\bar X \sim N(\mu, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})$

So the expected value would be 80 and the standard error Se=18/sqrt(9)=6.

c. 6

Part 3

From the central limit theorem we know that the distribution for the sample mean $\bar X$ is given by:

$\bar X \sim N(\mu=80, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}=2)$

And we want to calculate the probability that the mean for this sample would be greater than 75. So we want to find:

$P(\bar X 75)$

We can use the z score formula given by:

$z=\frac{\bar x -\mu_o}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$

$P(\bar X 75)=1-P(\bar x$

Answer from: Quest

{x = -1/2 , y = -1

step-by-step explanation:

solve the following system:

{2 x + y = -2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

in the first equation, look to solve for y:

{2 x + y = -2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

subtract 2 x from both sides:

{y = -2 x - 2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

substitute y = -2 x - 2 into the second equation:

{y = -2 x - 2

{10 x - 3 (-2 x - 2) = -2

10 x - 3 (-2 x - 2) = (6 x + 6) + 10 x = 16 x + 6:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x + 6 = -2

in the second equation, look to solve for x:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x + 6 = -2

subtract 6 from both sides:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x = -8

divide both sides by 16:

{y = -2 x - 2

{x = -1/2

substitute x = -1/2 into the first equation:

{y = -1

{x = -1/2

collect results in alphabetical order:

answer: {x = -1/2 , y = -1

Answer from: Quest

so, converting firstly the mixed fractions to improper fractions and then "adding".

$\bf \stackrel{mixed}{2\frac{9}{10}}\implies \cfrac{2\cdot 10+9}{10}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{29}{10}}~\hfill \stackrel{mixed}{5\frac{4}{15}}\implies \cfrac{5\cdot 15+4}{15}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{79}{15}} [-0.35em] ~\dotfill$

$\bf -\cfrac{29}{10}+\left( -\cfrac{79}{15} \right)\implies -\cfrac{29}{10}-\cfrac{79}{15}\implies \stackrel{\textit{using the lcd of 30}}{\cfrac{-(3)29-(2)79}{30}}\implies \cfrac{-87-158}{30} \cfrac{-245}{30}\implies -\cfrac{49}{6}\implies -8\frac{1}{6}$
