The average height of a current NBA player is 79 inches with a standard deviation of 3.4 inches. A random sample of 35 current NBA players is taken. What is the probability that the mean height of the 35 NBA players will be more than 80 inches?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

0.0409 = 4.09% probability that the mean height of the 35 NBA players will be more than 80 inches.

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.

The average height of a current NBA player is 79 inches with a standard deviation of 3.4 inches.

This means that [tex]\mu = 79, \sigma = 3.4[/tex]

A random sample of 35 current NBA players is taken.

This means that [tex]n = 35, s = \frac{3.4}{\sqrt{35}}[/tex]

What is the probability that the mean height of the 35 NBA players will be more than 80 inches?

This is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 80. So

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

[tex]Z = \frac{80 - 79}{\frac{3.4}{\sqrt{35}}}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.74[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.74[/tex] has a p-value of 0.9591

1 - 0.9591 = 0.0409

0.0409 = 4.09% probability that the mean height of the 35 NBA players will be more than 80 inches.

Answers

Answer:

0.72 litres

Step-by-step explanation:

Litres of syrup = 0.32 litres

Litres of water = 12 times the amount of syrup = 12 * 0.32 = 3.84 litres

Litres of orange squash = litres of syrup + litres of water

Litres of orange squash = (0.32 + 3.84) = 4.16 litres

Amount of orange squash litres split = 1.28 litres

Amount of orange squash left = (4.16 - 1.28) = 2.88 litres

Splitting the amount of squash left equally into 4 :

2.88 litres / 4 = 0.72 litres

Answers

Answer:

Let x = the number of ounces of Solution A

Let y = the number of ounces of Solution B

x + y = 180        y = 180 - x

.60x + .85y = .75(180)

.60x + .85y = 135      Multiply both sides of the equation by 100 to remove the decimal points.

60x + 85y = 13500

60x + 85(180 - x) = 13500

60x + 15300 - 85x = 13500

-25x = -1800

x = 72ounces

y = 180 - 72

y = 108 ounces

find out the area of ​​the following composite figures​

Answers

Answer:

First composite: 30cm^2
Second composite: 18cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Area for the first composite = l • w where l = length w = width

We will first need to break it into two pieces!

One piece can be a rectangle shape and another piece can be the square above the rectangle.

Solve for the area of the rectangle!

Area of the rectangle = L • 8

The length isn’t given but we see that the whole length is 5 and if we subtracted the length from the square we can actually get the missing length for the rectangle.

Length of the rectangle = (5 - 2)

Length of the rectangle = 3

Area of the rectangle = 3 • 8

Area of the rectangle = 24cm^2

Now solve for the area of the square!

Area = L • W

Area = 2 • 3

Area = 6

Finally add the area of the two shapes!

24 + 6 = 30cm^2
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Area for the second composite = L • W

Again, we’ll need to break it into two pieces. One piece would be the top rectangle, another piece would be the bottom rectangle.

Area for the top rectangle = 2 • 4

Area for the top rectangle = 8cm^2

Now solve for the area of the bottom rectangle!

Area for the bottom rectangle = 2 • 5

Area for the bottom rectangle = 10cm^2

Finally add the area of the two shapes!

8 + 10 = 18cm^2

find the probability of being dealt 5 cards from a standard 52 card deck, and the cards are 6,7,8,9, and 10, all of the same suit. What is the probability of being dealt this hand is

Answers

Answer: 20/52 x 4/51 x 3/50 x 2/49 x 1/48 = .00000153908

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of being dealt 5 cards from a standard 52 card deck, and the cards are 6,7,8,9, and 10 of the same suit is 0.00000153908

What is Probability?

The probability that an event will occur is measured by the ratio of favorable examples to the total number of situations possible

The value of probability lies between 0 and 1

Given data ,

Let the number of cards in deck be = 52 cards

Total number of cards selected = 5

The number of ways of choosing 5 cards = ⁵²C₅

The cards selected are of the same suit

So , there are 4 ways to select them , Hearts , Clubs , Spades and Diamonds = ⁴C₁

And there is only one way to select the cards 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 = 1

Now , we use combination to select the cards in a deck,

So,

The probability of being dealt 5 cards from a standard 52 card deck, and the cards are 6,7,8,9, and 10, all of the same suit is calculated by,

P ( x ) = 1 / ⁵²C₅ x ⁴C₁ x 1

P ( x ) = 1 /  52! / ( 47! x 5! )  x  4! / 3!  x  1

P ( x ) = 1 / ( 52 x 51 x 50 x 49 x 48 ) / ( 2 x 3 x 4 x 5 ) x 4

P ( x ) = 1 / ( 2598966 ) x 4

P ( x ) = 4 / 2598966

P ( x ) = 0.00000153908

Hence , The probability of being dealt 5 cards from a standard 52 card deck, and the cards are 6,7,8,9, and 10 of the same suit is 0.00000153908

Answers

You are giving the angle and opposite leg.

Using the law of sines:

Sin(angle) = opposite leg / hypotenuse

Sin(30) = 2/ hypotenuse

Hypotenuse = 2/sin(30)

Hypotenuse = 4 meters

The maximum length of the seesaw is : (C). 4 meters

Meaning of Maximum length

Maximum length can be defined as the total distance between two point in consideration.

Maximum length can also be said to be the total sum of all the length along a distance.

In the case above, the hypotenuse side is the maximum length.

Answer:

4 months

As we show that ;

40 + (60x * 4)  = 280

100 + (45x * 4) = 280

but in simultaneous equations Verizon must be set equal to 240 being 80 x 3

and T mobile must be equal to 45 x 4 = 180

so that 240+ 180 = 420 to find 4

This would be a method on distribution as "60 sign up is 1/3 more than 1st equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a simultaneous equation but trial and error is below to prove all is true.

step 1 make all equations same

40s + (60x)      * 3 = 180x  LCM   = 80 x 3   =  1   1/3 of 60

100s + (45x)     * 4 = 180x LCM   = 45  x 4   =  1 of 45 as verizon charges 1/3 more sign up.

100s- 40s + 180x = (180x) =  240 + 180

60s + 180x = 420

s = 60

so our equations must each end with 420

when we get 60s + 180x = 420  then

420 - 180 = 240

240/60 =  4

x = 4 months

Verizon = 1st and T mobile = 2nd

40 + (60x * 5)  = 340

100 + 45x * 5 = 325

with $15 out after 5 months so we try 6 months

40 + (60x * 6)  = 400

100 + 45x * 6 = 370

and see this is increasing in difference, so try a smaller value of months..

We try 4 months;

40 + (60x * 4)  = 280

100 + (45x * 4) = 280
