Answer:

0.159

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Sample size (n) = 100

Population mean(pm) = 50

Standard deviation (s) = 8

Probability that Sample mean (m) will be greater Than 50.8

Using the relation :

(sample mean - population mean) / (standard deviation /sqrt(n))

P(m > 50.8)

Z = (50.8 - 50) / (8/ sqrt(100))

Z = 0.8 / (8/ 10)

Z = 0.8 / 0.8

Z = 1

P(Z > 1) = 0.15866 ( Z probability calculator)

Hence,

P(Z > 1) = 0.159 ( 3 decimal places)

The time for a professor to grade a student's homework in statistics is normally distributed with a mean of 12.6 minutes and a s
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

37.23% probability that randomly selected homework will require between 8 and 12 minutes to grade

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

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.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 12.6, \sigma = 2.5

What is the probability that randomly selected homework will require between 8 and 12 minutes to grade?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 12 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 8. So

X = 12

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{12 - 12.6}{2.5}

Z = -0.24

Z = -0.24 has a pvalue of 0.4052

X = 8

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{8 - 12.6}{2.5}

Z = -1.84

Z = -1.84 has a pvalue of 0.0329

0.4052 - 0.0329 = 0.3723

37.23% probability that randomly selected homework will require between 8 and 12 minutes to grade

kondor19780726 [428]

Answer: The number of different combinations of 2 vegetables are possible = 15 .

Step-by-step explanation:

In Mathematics , the number of combinations of selecting r values out of n values = ^nC_r=\dfrac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}

Given : Number of available vegetables = 6

Then, the number of different combinations of 2 vegetables are possible will be :

^6C_2=\dfrac{6!}{2!(6-2)!}=\dfrac{6\times5\times4!}{2\times4!}=15

Hence , the number of different combinations of 2 vegetables are possible = 15 .

What percent of 2b is: 0.04b; 0.2b; 0.56b; 1.8b; 2.5b; 3b; By what percent are they each larger or smaller than 2b
Leviafan [203]
.04b is 2% of 2b because .04 multiplied by 100 is 4 then you divide by 2 which gets you 2.
.04/2=x/100
cross multiply and divide
it is 98% smaller than 2b.

.2b is 10% of 2b because .2 multiplied by 100 is 20 then you divide by 2 and get 10.
.2/2=x/100
it is 90% smaller than 2b.

.56b is 28% of 2b because .56 multiplied by 100 is 56 then divide by 2 and you get 28.
.56/2=x/100
it is 72% smaller than 2b.

1.8b is 90% of 2b because 1.8 multiplied by 100 is 180 then divide it by 2. you get 90.
1.8/2=x/100
it is 10% smaller than 2b.

2.5b is 125% of 2b because 2.5 multiplied by 100 Is 250 and 250 divided by 2 is 125.
2.5/2=x/100
it is 25% larger than 2b

3b is 150% of 2b because 3 multiplied by 100 is 300 and 300 divided by 2 is 150.
3/2=x/100
it is 50% larger than 2b
