Suppose babies born in a large hospital have a mean weight of 4095 grams, and a standard deviation of 569 grams. If 130 babies a

re sampled at random from the hospital, what is the probability that the mean weight of the sample babies would differ from the population mean by greater than 42 grams? Round your answer to four decimal places.

Answer:

P =0.3998

Step-by-step explanation:

Let {\displaystyle {\overline{x}}} be the average of the sample, and the population mean will be \mu

We know that:

\mu = 4095 gr

Let \sigma be the standard deviation and n the sample size, then we know that the standard error of the sample is:

E=\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

Where

\sigma=569

n=130

In this case we are looking for:

P(|{\displaystyle{\overline{x}}}- \mu|>42)

This is:

{\displaystyle{\overline{x}}}- \mu>42 or {\displaystyle{\overline{x}}}- \mu

P=P({\displaystyle{\overline{x}}}- \mu>42)+ P({\displaystyle{\overline{x}}}- \mu

Now we get the z score

Z=\frac{{\displaystyle{\overline{x}}}-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

P=P(z>\frac{42}{\frac{569}{\sqrt{130}}}) + P(z

P=P(z>0.8416) + P(z

Looking at the tables for the standard nominal distribution we get

P =0.1999+0.1999

P =0.3998

The Hawaiian language has 12 letters: five vowels and seven consonants. Each of the 12 Hawaiian letters are written on a slip of
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

\frac{25}{144}

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to know "probability that first is vowel AND second is vowel"

In probability theory, "AND" means Multiplication.

<em>Essentially we want to figure out probability of first drawn to be vowel and multiply that with probability second drawn is vowel as well.</em>

<em />

There are 5 vowels and total 12 letters, so

P (vowel) = 5/12

<u>For the second draw, there are STILL 12 letters and 5 vowels (since the first drawn is REPLACED)</u>. Hence, probability of 2nd vowel is the same. So:

P (vowel for 2nd draw) = 5/12

<em>Now we multiply them to get:  \frac{5}{12}*\frac{5}{12}=\frac{25}{144}</em>

Write a two step equation involving division and addition that has a solution of x = 25
Tamiku [17]
Start with the solution
x=-25
use the reverse of what they asked
they wanted division and addition
we use multiplication and subtract

ok
x=-25
we can use subtraction and multiplication in any order
minus 10 from both sides
x-10=-35
multiply both sides by 4
4(x-10)=-140
4x-40=-140 is a possible equation
