Suppose students' ages follow a skewed right distribution with a mean of 24 years old and a standard deviation of 3 years. If we

randomly sample 350 students, which of the following statements about the sampling distribution of the sample mean age is incorrect?
a. The shape of the sampling distribution is approximately normal.
b. The mean of the sampling distribution is approximately 24-years old.
c. The standard deviation of the sampling distribution is equal to 5 years.
d. All of the above statements are correct.

Answer: Option 'c' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Mean of students' age = 24 years

Standard deviation of students' age = 3 years

Sample size = number of students = 350

So, according to options,

a. The shape of the sampling distribution is approximately normal.

It is true as n >30, we will use normal.

b. The mean of the sampling distribution is approximately 24-years old.

It is true as it is given.

c. The standard deviation of the sampling distribution is equal to 5 years.

It is not true as it is given 3 years.

Hence, Option 'c' is correct.

RoseWind [281]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are not told what to find, we can as well find the time taken by the rocket to reach its maximum height as shown

The rocket reaches its maximum height when the velocity is zero

v = dh/dt

v = -32t+64

Since v = 0 at maximum height

0 = -32t+64

32t = 64

t = 64/32

t = 2secs

Hence the rocket reaches the maximum height after 2secs

Annabelle measures the sides of 15 right triangles and, based on her observations, she concludes that for any right triangle the
saul85 [17]

Answer: Annabelle is using  the a measure of central tendency defined as the Mode.

Step-by-step explanation: A measure of central tendency in its simplest definition is a single value or measure that can safely be used to represent all members belonging to an entire set of given data. Hence, as a good illustration, one figure can be used to confidently represent all other ninety nine figures where a set of one hundred figures were given.

The mean, median and mode are commonly accepted measures of central tendency.

The mode is the most frequently occurring value in a given set of data. As such, the modal value is statistically acceptable as a representative of the entire set of values or data.

If Annabelle measures the sides of 15 right triangles and based on her observations, she concludes that for any right  triangle the sum of the squares of the two legs is equal to the square of the hypotenuse, what she has done is taking the most frequently occurring value, and in her experiment, the most frequent of all observed data satisfies the Pythagorean Theorem.

That is why Annabelle can confidently make her assumption.

Which statements are true of the function f(x) = 3(2.5)x? Check all that apply.
Neporo4naja [7]
For this case we have a function of the form:
 y = A * (b) ^ x

 Where,
 A: initial amount
 b: growth rate (for b> 1)
 x: independent variable
 y: dependent variable
 We then have the following function:
 f (x) = 3 (2.5) ^ x

 Using the definition, the following statements are correct:
 1) The function is exponential
 2) The function increases by a factor of 2.5 for each unit increase in x
 3) The domain of the function is all real numbers

The graph of y=3x^2-3x-1 is shown. Use the graph to find estimates for the solutions of i)3x^2-3x+2=2 ii) 3x^2-3x-1=x+1
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

i) (0, 2) and (1, 2), ii) (0.333, 1.333) and (1, 2).

Step-by-step explanation:

i) Let be y=3\cdot x^{2}-3\cdot x -1, if 3\cdot x^{2}-3\cdot x +2 = 2, which is equivalent to the following system of equations:

y = 3\cdot x^{2}-3\cdot x +2

y = 2

Now, this system is now represented by means of a graphing tool and whose outcome is attached below. There are two solutions: (0, 2) and (1, 2)

ii) Let be y=3\cdot x^{2}-3\cdot x -1, if 3\cdot x^{2}-3\cdot x +2 = x+1, which is equivalent to the following system of equations:

y = 3\cdot x^{2}-3\cdot x +2

y = x+1

Now, this system is now represented by means of a graphing tool and whose outcome is attached below. There are two solutions: (0.333, 1.333) and (1, 2)
