In the library on a university campus, there is a sign in the elevator that indicates a limit of 16 persons. Furthermore, there is a weight limit of 2500 lb. Assume that the average weight of students, faculty, and staff on campus is 151 lb, that the standard deviation is 25 lb, and that the distribution of weights of individuals on campus is approximately normal. If a random sample of 16 persons from the campus is to be taken:

a. What is the expected value of the sample mean of their weights?
b. What is the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the sample mean weight?
c. What average weights for a sample of 16 people will result in the total weight exceeding the weight limit of 2500 lb?
d. What is the chance that a random sample of 16 persons on the elevator will exceed the weight limit?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Explained below.

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]

a

The expected value of the sample mean of their weights is same as the population mean, μ = 1515 lbs.

b

The standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the sample mean weight is:

[tex]\sigma_{\bar x}=\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}=\frac{25}{\sqrt{16}}=6.25[/tex]

c.

The average weights for a sample of 16 people will result in the total weight exceeding the weight limit of 2500 lbs. is:

[tex]\text{Average Weight}=\frac{2500}{16}=156.25[/tex]

d

Compute the probability that a random sample of 16 persons on the elevator will exceed the weight limit as follows:

[tex]P(\bar X > 156.25)=P(\frac{\bar X-\mu_{\bar x}}{\sigma_{\bar x}}>\frac{156.25-151}{6.25})\\\\=P(Z>0.84)\\\\=1-P(Z<0.84)\\\\=1-0.79955\\\\=0.20045\\\\\approx 0.20[/tex]

A cell phone tower and a fence are on the same property. the fence is 8 feet tall and has a shadow that measures 14.5 feet. the shadow of the cell phone tower measures 72.5 feet . how tall is the cell phone tower ?​

Answers

Answer:

40 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Height of fence = 8 feets

Shadow of fence = 14.5 feets

Shadow of cell phone tower = 72.5 feets

Height of cell phone tower = x

Height of fence = shadow of fence

Height of tower = shadow of tower

8 feets= 14.5 feets

x feets = 72.5

Cross multiply :

(14.5 * x) = (72.5 * 8)

14.5x = 580 feets

x = 580/14.5

x = 40 feets

Hence, the height of the cell phone tower is 40 feets

How many ways can you arrange the word HOCKEY using only 5 letters
if each letter can only be used once?

Answers

Answer:

Total arrangement = 720

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total letter n = 6

Using letter r = 5

Computation:

Total arrangement = nPr

Total arrangement = !n / !(n-r)

Total arrangement = !6 / !(6-5)

Total arrangement = 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2

Total arrangement = 720

So far, a storm has traveled 35 miles in half an hour. If it is currently 5:00 pm and the storm is 105 miles away, what time will the storm reach you? Explain how you solved the problem.

Answers

Answer:

It will reach you at 6:30.

Step-by-step explanation:

THe storm traveled at 35 miles in half an hour. It is 105 miles away.

Divide 105 by 35 to get how many half hours it will take to rach you.

105 ÷ 35 = 3.

So, it will be 3 half hours or one hour and a half.

Add that time to the current time, which is 5:00.

It will be 6:30 when the storm reaches you.

Step-by-step explanation:

Note: The complete options to the question is attached as picture below

The alternative hypothesis is focusing on "the recession has led to a reduction in the average work week".

So, it will be less than the past average. i.e, 40.1.. so, we will use a less than (<) sign to write the alternative hypothesis.

The hypotheses are as below:

Hо : μ ≥ 40.1 (Null hypothesis)

Ha : μ > 40.1 (Alternative hypothesis)

Answers

Answer:

n=-22

Step-by-step explanation:

rewrite the equation as 5(n+4) = n-8

3

now distribute the 5 through the parentheses 5n+20 = n-8

3

multiply each side by 3 5n+20=3n - 24

subrtact 3n from both sides 5n+20=3n - 24

-3n -3n

2n+20=-24

then subtract 20 from each side 2n +20=-24

-20 -20

Giving you 2n=-44 then divide both sides by 2

2n=-44 Giving you n=-22

Mass determines how fast a car can accelerate. Since a car accelerates slower with more adults, and faster with less adults, this means that the mass has a big impact on acceleration. Therefore, we can conclude that the mass determines how fast a car can accelerate.

what does x equal?

Answers

Answer:

x = -1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

4^2x + 3 = 1 start by simplifying the equation

16x + 3 = 1 now subtract 3 on both sides

16x = -2 isolate the variable by dividing 16 on both sides

x = -1/8

Answer:

x = -1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

4^2x + 3 = 1

You want to try to get the x on one side by itself.

First step subtract 3 from both sides

4^2x + 3 -3 = 1 -3

so now it looks like 4^2x = -2

We know 4^2 is 4x4 which is 16.

16x= -2

Divide 16 by both sides.

x = -2 / 16

Reduce.

x = -1/8

     

8 coins are tossed simultaneously, find the chance of obtaining at least six heads​

Answers

Answer:

37/256

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to use the Binomial distribution here, ask me why?

because there are only two outcomes of the experiment, heads or tails, which are complementary by nature, that is to say they are mutually exclusive and if one doesn't happen the other definitely does

p(head)+p(tail) = 1

also the trials are independent of one another, that is to say that the outcome of one toss doesn't affect the outcome of any of the other seven tosses out of 8.

and I am assuming here that the coins are all unbiased, i.e. p(head)=p(tail)=0.50

Considering all of these the possibility that we will get at least 6 heads out of 8 tosses is given by

p(head=6)+p(head=7)+p(head=8)= 8C6 (0.5)^6 (0.5)^2 + 8C7 (0.5)^7 (0.5)^1 + 8C8 (0.5) ^8

The plus sign indicates OR operator, i.e. we might get 6 heads or 7 heads or 8 heads.

where the probability mass function of the bin distn is given by

nCx p^x q^(n-x)

n= total number of trials

x= no. of success (in our case no of heads)

n-x = no of failures (no of tails in this example)

p= probability of success (p(heads)=0.5)

q= probability of failure (is equivalent of 1-p)

A pharmacologist measured the concentration of dopamine in the brains of several rats. The mean concentration was 1,269 ng/gm and the standard deviation was 145 ng/gm.4 What was the standard error of the mean if:_______.(a) 8 rats were measured?
(b) 30 rats were measured?

Answers

Answer:

51.265242 ng/gm ; 26.473257 ng/gm

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard error of the mean = standard deviation / √sample size

Given that:

mean concentration = 1,269 ng/gm

Standard deviation (s) = 145 ng/gm

Standard Error if 8 rats were measured :

Sample size (n) = 8

Standard Error = s / √n

Standard Error = 145 / √8

Standard Error = 145 / 2.8284271

Standard Error = 51.265242 ng/gm

If 30 rats were measured :

Standard Error = 145 / √30

Standard Error = 145 / 5.4772255

Standard Error = 26.473257 ng/gm

Step-by-step explanation:

Lisa takes a night walk after dinner every night.

She walks 1/4 mile in 2 minutes.

Distance = 1/4 mile

Time, t = 2 minutes

For covering 1 mile,

1/4 mile = 2 minutes

In 1 minute she will cover [tex]\dfrac{1}{8}\ \text{mile}[/tex]

For 10 minutes, she will cover [tex]\dfrac{10}{8}\ \text{mile}\ or\ 1.25\ \text{miles}[/tex]

So, she will cover 1.25 miles.
