Answer:
<em>c=6, d=2</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>Equations </em>
We must find the values of c and d that make the below equation be true
Let's cube both sides of the equation:
The left side just simplifies the cubic root with the cube:
On the right side, we'll simplify the cubic root where possible and power what's outside of the root:
Simplifying
Equating the powers of x and y separately we find
c=6
5=3+d
d=2
The values are
Answer:
(a) <em> </em><em>n</em> : 20 50 100 500
P (-200 < <em>X</em> - <em>μ </em>< 200) : 0.2886 0.4444 0.5954 0.9376
(b) The correct option is (b).
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the random variable <em>X</em> represent the amount of deductions for taxpayers with adjusted gross incomes between $30,000 and $60,000 itemized deductions on their federal income tax return.
The mean amount of deductions is, <em>μ</em> = $16,642 and standard deviation is, <em>σ</em> = $2,400.
Assuming that the random variable <em>X </em>follows a normal distribution.
(a)
Compute the probability that a sample of taxpayers from this income group who have itemized deductions will show a sample mean within $200 of the population mean as follows:
<em> n</em> : 20 50 100 500
P (-200 < <em>X</em> - <em>μ </em>< 200) : 0.2886 0.4444 0.5954 0.9376
(b)
The law of large numbers, in probability concept, states that as we increase the sample size, the mean of the sample () approaches the whole population mean (
).
Consider the probabilities computed in part (a).
As the sample size increases from 20 to 500 the probability that the sample mean is within $200 of the population mean gets closer to 1.
So, a larger sample increases the probability that the sample mean will be within a specified distance of the population mean.
Thus, the correct option is (b).
