The life expectancy (M) in the United States is 85 with a standard deviation of 6 years. A random sample of 36 individuals is selected. What is the probability that the sample mean will be between 82.5 and 86 years?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The probability that the sample mean will be between 82.5 and 86 years is 0.8351.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Central Limit Theorem if an unknown population is selected with mean μ and standard deviation σ and appropriately huge random samples (n > 30) are selected from this population with replacement, then the distribution of the sample means will be approximately normally.  

Then, the mean of the sample means is given by,

[tex]\mu_{\bar x}=\mu\\[/tex]

And the standard deviation of the sample means is given by,

[tex]\sigma_{\bar x}=\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

The information provided is:

[tex]\mu=85\\\sigma=6\\n=36[/tex]

As the sample size is large enough the Central Limit Theorem can be used to approximate the sampling distribution of sample mean life expectancy (M) in the United States.

Compute the probability that the sample mean will be between 82.5 and 86 years as follows:

[tex]P(82.5<\bar X<86)=P(\frac{82.5-85}{6/\sqrt{36}}<\frac{\bar X-\mu_{\bar x}}{\sigma_{\bar x}}<\frac{86-85}{6/\sqrt{36}})\\\\=P(-2.5<Z<1)\\\\=P(Z<1)-P(Z<-2.5)\\\\=0.84134-0.00621\\\\=0.83513\\\\\approx 0.8351[/tex]

Thus, the probability that the sample mean will be between 82.5 and 86 years is 0.8351.

Answer 2

The probability that the sample mean will be between 82.5 and 86 years is 0.8351.

Standard deviation σ = 6

Sample size n =36

What is the central limit theorem?

The central limit theorem (CLT) states that the distribution of sample means approximates a normal distribution as the sample size gets larger, regardless of the population's distribution.

Since the sample size is significant i.e. large, so the given scenario can be treated as normally distributed as per the central limit theorem.

So, the standard deviation of sample means =  σ/√n

The probability that the sample mean will be between 82.5 and 86 years:

[tex]P(82.5 < X < 86) = P(\frac{82.5-85}{\frac{6}{\sqrt{36} } } < Z < \frac{86-85}{\frac{6}{\sqrt{36} } } )[/tex]

[tex]P(-2.5 < Z < 1)=P(Z < 1)-P(Z < 2.5)[/tex]

[tex]P(-2.5 < Z < 1) =0.8413-0.0062=0.8351[/tex]

Therefore, the probability that the sample mean will be between 82.5 and 86 years is 0.8351.

Answer:  56 degrees

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

Work Shown:

For any triangle, the three interior angles always add to 180

(4x-12) + (6x-17) + (2x+5) = 180

(4x+6x+2x) + (-12-17+5) = 180

12x - 24 = 180

12x = 180+24 ..... adding 24 to both sides

12x = 204

x = 204/12 ..... dividing both sides by 12

x = 17

We can use this x value to find the three angles

4x-12 = 4*17-12 = 56

6x-17 = 6*17-17 = 85

2x+5 = 2*17+5 = 39

As a check,

56+85+39 = 180

which confirms we have the right x value.

We see that 56 is the middle angle, so this is the second largest angle.

Una parte de 25 000 dólares se invierte al 10% de interés, otra parte al 12 % y el resto al 16%. El ingreso anual total de las tres inversiones es de 3200 dólares. Además, el ingreso de la inversión al 16% es igual al ingreso de las otras dos inversiones combinadas. ¿Cuánto se invirtió a cada tasa de interés?

Answers

Answer:

$5000 at 10%, $10000 at 12% and 10000 at 16%

Step-by-step explanation:

One part of $ 25,000 is invested at 10% interest, another part at 12%, and the rest at 16%. The total annual income from the three investments is $ 3,200. Also, the income from the investment at 16% is equal to the income from the other two investments combined. How much was invested at each interest rate?

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

Let the parts be x, y and z

As per given we get below system of equations:

x + y + z = 250000.1x + 0.12y + 0.16z = 32000.1x + 0.2y = 0.16z

Substitute 0.1x + 0.2y in the second equation:

0.16z + 0.16z = 32000.32z = 3200z = 3200/0.32z = 10000

Now we have:

x + y + 10000 = 25000 ⇒ x + y = 15000

and

0.1x + 0.12y + 0.16*10000 = 3200 ⇒ 0.1x + 0.12y = 1600

Multiply the second equation and then subtract the first one:

10(0.1x + 0.12y) = 10(1600) ⇒ x + 1.2y = 16000x + 1.2y - (x + y) = 16000 - 150000.2y = 1000y = 10000

Then

x = 15000 - 10000 = 5000

So the parts are:

$5000 at 10%, $10000 at 12% and 10000 at 16%

8. A substance has a half life of 2.347 minutes.
a. If the initial amount of the substance was 110.4 grams, how many half-lives will have passed
before the substance decays to 6.9 grams.
b. What is the total time of the decay?

Answers

Answer:

a.) 4 half lives have passed

b) 9.388 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for exponential growth / decay is given as:

[tex]A=A_0b^{\frac{t}{c}}[/tex]

Where [tex]A[/tex] is the final population

[tex]A_0[/tex] is the initial population

[tex]b[/tex] is the growth factor

[tex]c[/tex] is the time taken for the growth 'b'

[tex]t[/tex] is the amount of time

Here, we are given that:

[tex]A[/tex] = 6. 9 grams

[tex]A_0[/tex] = 110.4 grams

[tex]b = \dfrac{1}{2}[/tex]

[tex]c = 2.347[/tex] min

To find:

a.) Number of half lives taken for the decay.

b.) Total time in the decay.

Solution:

a.) Number of half lives taken for the decay is nothing but equal to [tex]\frac{t}{c}[/tex].

Putting the values in the formula, we get:

[tex]6.9=110.4\times \frac{1}2^{\frac{t}{c}}\\\Rightarrow 6.9=110.4\times 0.5^{\frac{t}{c}}\\\Rightarrow 0.0625=0.5^{\frac{t}{c}}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{t}{c} =4[/tex]

Therefore, the answer is:

4 half lives have passed.

b.) Total time of decay. We have to find the value of [tex]t[/tex] here.

From answer of part a.):

[tex]\dfrac{t}{c} =4\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{t}{2.347} =4\\\Rightarrow t =\bold{9.388\ min}[/tex]

4x = 4 multiplied by the amount of hours

10 = the cost for the lock

so y = 4x+10

In this case y= 32 so plug it in

4x+10=32

Find the missing angle:

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Use this picture as a reference.

So, using remote angles theorem, which states that; the angle formed from the extension of a side in a triangle is equal to the sum of the two angles which it does not make contact with, within the triangle. One can conclude that :

m< BCD = m<B + m<A

substitute:

m<BCD = 80 + 25

Simplify:

m<BCD = 105

Since it is given that m< BCE is 50, then  one has to subtract m<BCE from m<BCD to get m<ECD

m<BCD - m<BCE = m<ECD

Subsitute:

105 - 50 = m<ECD

Simplify:

55 = m<ECD

Using the sum of angles in a triangle, which states that the sum of all the angles in a triangle is 180 degrees, one can say that:

m<D + m<ECD + m<E = 180

Substitute:

85 + 55 + m<E = 180

Simplify, inverse operations:

140 + m<E = 180

The reciprocal of 2 is 1/2. and if it's positive, the opposite is negative.

Answers

Answer:

Number of new houses  = 60

Number of houses sold last month = (1/4) of 60

                                                          = 15

Remaining houses  = 60 - 15 = 45

Number of houses sold this month = (1/5) of 45
