The heights of 1000 students are approximately normally distributed with a mean of 174.5 centimeters and a standard deviation of

6.9 centimeters. suppose 200 random samples of size 25 are drawn from this population and the means recorded to the nearest tenth of a centimeter. determine (a) the mean and standard deviation of the sampling distribution of x¯; (b) the number of sample means that falls between 172.5 and 175.8 centimeters inclusive; (c) the number of sample means falling below 172.0 centimeters.

A. The mean and standard deviation.

The mean of a sampling distribution is approximately equal to the mean of the population. Given that the mean of the population is equal to 174.5, the mean of the sampling distribution is also this value.

The standard deviation of a sample distribution is equal to,

                u(m) = u/sqrt n

Substituting the known values,

               u(m) = 6.9 / sqrt 25 = 1.38

b. Get the z-score of both items,
         
      z-score = (data point - mean) / standard deviation

 z-score of 172.5
     z-score = (172.5 - 174.5) / 1.38 = -1.49
This translates to 0.068.

z-score of 175.8
   z-score = (175.8 - 174.5) / 1.38 = 0.94
This translates to 0.83. 

The difference between the two z-scores is 0.762. 

 The number of samples with this height is 0.762(200) which is equal to approximately 152.

c. z-score of 172 centimeters
   
    z-score = (172 - 174.5) / 1.38
  
    z-score = -1.81
This translates to 0.03.

The number of people with this height from the sample is (0.03)(200) = 6

Shane and Abha earned a team badge that required their team to collect no less than 2000 cans for recycling. Abha collected 178
Katarina [22]

Answer:

2x+178\geq 2000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, the number of cans collected by Shane = x.

So, the number of cans collected by Abha = x + 178.

Since, at least 2000 cans are required to be collected.

Thus, we have the inequality,

Number of cans by Shane + Number of cans by Abha ≥ 2000.

i.e. x+(x+178)\geq 2000

i.e. 2x+178\geq 2000

Thus, the required inequality is 2x+178\geq 2000.

The image below represents a 12 x 16 room with an 8 x 10 piece of linoleum centered in the room. The yellow and blue rectangles
n200080 [17]
Since the rectangles are colored in, we can take the area of each color, then add them together. To find all the lengths and widths, subtract as needed: Since the center rectangle's length is 10 feet, subtract 10 from the length of the room which is 16 feet. Those 6 units must be divided in half to give 3 feet for the width of the blue rectangle. Similarly, subtract 8 from 12 and divide the 4 in half to give 2 feet for the width of the yellow rectangle. This also reveals the length and width of the green rectangle. The length is 3 and the width 2, so the area is found 3x2=6. The area of the blue rectangle is found 3x10=30. The area of the yellow rectangle is found 13x2=26. Add these areas up: 6+30+26 = 62 square feet.
