Determine if the finite correction factor should be used. If​ so, use it in your calculations when you find the probability. In a sample of 800 gas​ stations, the mean price for regular gasoline at the pump was $2.816 per gallon and the standard deviation was ​$0.008 per gallon. A random sample of size 45 is drawn from this population. What is the probability that the mean price per gallon is less than ​$2.812​?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

0.0003 = 0.03% probability that the mean price per gallon is less than ​$2.812​

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore 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 pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes 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.

Finite correction factor:

If the sample is more than 5% of the population, instead of Central Limit Theorem, we use the finite correction factor, as the standard deviation of the sampling distribution would be too big.

The mean price for regular gasoline at the pump was $2.816 per gallon and the standard deviation was ​$0.008 per gallon.

Large sample, so this can be treated as the population data. Then [tex]\mu = 2.816, \sigma = 0.008[/tex]

Sample of 45:

45/800 = 0.056 = 5.6% -> Sample more than 5% of the population, so we use the finite correction factor. This means that s will be multiplied by:

[tex]FCF = \sqrt{\frac{N-n}{N-1}}[/tex]

In which n is the size of the sample(45) and N is the size of the population (800). So

[tex]FCF = \sqrt{\frac{755}{799}} = 0.9721[/tex]

By the Central Limit Theorem, [tex]n = 45, s = 0.9721*\frac{0.008}{\sqrt{45}} = 0.00116[/tex]

What is the probability that the mean price per gallon is less than ​$2.812​?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 2.812. So

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

[tex]Z = \frac{2.812 - 2.816}{0.00116}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -3.45[/tex]

[tex]Z = -3.45[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.0003

0.0003 = 0.03% probability that the mean price per gallon is less than ​$2.812​

Now that all the parenthesis are gone we move on to exponents.

6+3(11)-(5*5)=?

6+3(11)-25=?

Now that all exponents are gone we solve for multiplication and division, whichever comes first when reading from left to right.

6+33-25=?

The final step is to add and subtract from left to right.

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  $6475.56

Step-by-step explanation:

The maturity value is ...

  A = P(1 +rt)

where P is the principal amount, r is the annual rate, and t is the number of years. For ordinary interest, a year is 360 days, so the number of years is 160/360 = 4/9.

The loan value is ...

  A = $6200(1 + 0.10×4/9) ≈ $6475.56

Stephen's loan has a maturity value of $6,475.56.

What is walkway?

In American English, "walkway" refers to any artificial surface or building that facilitates the use of trails. A walkway is described as "a tunnel or path for strolling along, especially. a raised hallway connecting separate sections of such a building or perhaps a wide path inside a park or garden" in the New English American Dictionary.

In New Zealand, wherein "walkways vary significantly in nature, between short urban strolls, to easy seaside areas, to demanding tramps in the high country [mountains]," the word is used to designate a footpath. Walkways are constructed to keep people away from the other animals that live there.

Therefore, the correct option is option A.

What expression simplifies to 2i ? help asap lots of points

Step-by-step explanation:

First, consider the following expression.

(6x + 8) + (4x + 2)

To simplify this expression, you combine the like terms, 6x and 4x. These are like terms because they have the same variable with the same exponents. Similarly, 8 and 2 are like terms because they are both constants, with no variables.

(6x + 8) + (4x + 2) = 10x + 10

The absolute value of the complex number, 2i, is 2. We can put the complex number, 2i, in the form a + bi by letting a = 0.

The equation would be           P(t) = 280t + 3310              

The estimated number of moose in 2008 would be 8350 moose.

Step-by-step explanation:

First we will have to find out by how much will the number of moose increase each year. In order to do that we the number by which the population of moose increase, by the difference between 1991 and 1999. And so we get...

[tex]\frac{5830-3590 }{1999 - 1991} = \frac{2240}{8} = 280[/tex]

Now that we know by how much the number of moose increases each year, we can make the following equation...

Let "t" be the number of years from 1990, then...

P(t) = 280t + 3310

(if you are wondering why is it 3310, it is because you have to put in the number of moose that was there in 1990 and you can get that number by substracting 280 from the number of moose in 1991).

Based on the linear relation we figured out, the number of moose in 2008 would be predicted to be...

P(t) = 280t + 3310

P(2008 - 1990) = 280(2008 - 1990) + 3310

P (18) = 280(18) + 3310

P(18) = 8350
