Assume the average height for American women is 64 inches with a standard deviation of 2 inches. A sorority on campus wonders if their members have a different height, on average, from the population of American women. The mean height of group, which includes 25 members, is 65 inches.
A) Calculate the standard error for the distribution of means.
B) Calculate the z statistic for the sorority group.
C) What is the approximate percentile for this sample? Enter as a whole number.
D) If the sorority actually had 36 members (still with an average of 65 inches), would you expect the percentile value to increase or decrease? why?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) s = 0.4

b) Z = 2.5

c) 99th percentile.

d) The larger sample size would lead to a smaller margin of error, which would lead to a higher z-score and a increased percentile.

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 [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

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 p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

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

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

Assume the average height for American women is 64 inches with a standard deviation of 2 inches

This means that [tex]\mu = 64, \sigma = 2[/tex]

A) Calculate the standard error for the distribution of means.

Sample of 25 means that [tex]n = 25[/tex], so [tex]s = \frac{2}{\sqrt{25}} = 0.4[/tex].

B) Calculate the z statistic for the sorority group.

Sample mean of 65 means that [tex]X = 65[/tex].

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

By the Central Limit Theorem

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{0.4}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{65 - 64}{0.4}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2.5[/tex]

C) What is the approximate percentile for this sample? Enter as a whole number.

Z = 2.5 has a p-value of 0.9938, so 0.99*100 = 99th percentile.

D) If the sorority actually had 36 members (still with an average of 65 inches), would you expect the percentile value to increase or decrease? why?

The larger sample size would lead to a smaller margin of error, which would lead to a higher z-score and a increased percentile.

PLEASE HELP ME!! Kevin earns a base salary of $350.00 every week with an additional 12%
commission on everything he sells. If Kevin sold $4950.00 worth of items
last week, what was his total pay?

Answers

Answer:  944 dollars for the week

============================================================

Explanation:

He sold $4950 worth of items. Take 12% of this amount to get

12% of 4950 = 0.12*4950 = 594

So he earns $594 in commission on top of the $350 base salary paid every week. In total, he earns 594+350 = 944 dollars for that week

This isn't the per week pay because he would need to sell exactly $4950 worth of goods each week to keep this same weekly pay.

Answer:

Hello! answer: 11

Step-by-step explanation:

60 × 60 = 3600

11 × 11 = 121

3600 + 121 = 3721

√3721 = 61

therefore 11 is the missing leg Hope that helps!

Answer : X= 4, y = -4


(4,-4)

Answer:

x=4 and y=−4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your system by elimination.

−x−2y=4;3x+2y=4

−x−2y=4

3x+2y=4

Add these equations to eliminate y:

2x=8

Then solve 2x=8 for x:

2x=8

2x

2

=

8

2

(Divide both sides by 2)

x=4

Now that we've found x let's plug it back in to solve for y.

Write down an original equation:

−x−2y=4

Substitute 4 for x in−x−2y=4:

−4−2y=4

−2y−4=4(Simplify both sides of the equation)

−2y−4+4=4+4(Add 4 to both sides)

−2y=8

−2y

−2

=

8

−2

(Divide both sides by -2)

y=−4

I have a large money box, about 10 inches wide and 5 inches tall. Roughly, how many coins can I place in my empty money box?"

Answers

Answer:

Overall, it depends what type of coin you are using because each ones size is different. Or, if you are referring to the riddle it will be just one coin.

The correct answer is approximately 3,968 coins can be placed in the empty money box based on estimation. Based on these calculations, you can roughly estimate  a volume  calculation that  place around 7936 coins in your empty money box, assuming the coins are similar in size to a quarter.

To estimate the number of coins that can fit in your money box, we need to consider the volume of the box and the volume of a single coin.

Calculate the volume of the money box:

Volume = Length * Width * Height

Volume = 10 inches * 10 inches * 5 inches

Volume = 500 cubic inches

Estimate the volume of a single coin. Let's assume a common coin, such as a quarter:

Diameter of a quarter ≈ 0.96 inches

Thickness of a quarter ≈ 0.07 inches

Volume of a coin ≈ π * ([tex]radius^2[/tex]) * thickness

Volume of a quarter ≈[tex]3.14 * (0.48) ^2 * 0.07[/tex]inches

Volume of a quarter ≈ 0.063 cubic inches

Calculate the number of coins that can fit in the money box:

Number of coins ≈ Volume of the money box / Volume of a coin

Number of coins ≈ 500 cubic inches / 0.063 cubic inches

Number of coins ≈ 7936 coins (approximately)

Therefore, approximately 3,968 coins can be placed in the empty money box based on estimation. Based on these calculations, you can roughly estimate  a volume  calculation that  place around 7936 coins in your empty money box, assuming the coins are similar in size to a quarter.

Answers

The true statement about the reflection is (a) If Gregory draws the segment with endpoints A and A’, then the midpoint will lie on the line of reflection.

When a shape is reflected, it must be reflected across a line (called the line of reflection)

The line of reflection is always located at a point equidistant to the image and the pre-image of the shape that is being reflected

Hence, the true statement is (a) If Gregory draws the segment with endpoints A and A’, then the midpoint will lie on the line of reflection.

Answers

Answer:

x = 7

two of the angles 60 and 80

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of interior angles in a triangle is equal to 180

8x + 4 + 6x - 2 + 10x + 10 = 180 add like terms

24x + 12 = 180 subtract 12 from both sides

24x = 168 divide both sides by 24

x = 7 replace x with 7 in the equation to find the angle measures

6x - 2 = 40

10x + 10 = 80

8x + 4 = 60

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is:

[tex]r=\dfrac{2p^2}{q-3}[/tex]

We need to solve it to make q the subject of the formula.

Cross multiplying both sides,

[tex]rq-3r=2p^2[/tex]

Adding 3r to both sides,

[tex]rq-3r+3r=2p^2+3r\\\\rq=2p^2+3r[/tex]

Now, dividing both sides by r,

[tex]q=\dfrac{2p^2+3r}{r}[/tex]

Hence, this is the required solution.
