Is there an accompanying graph in this question?
Answer:
Answer and Explanation:
We have:
Population mean,
μ
=
3
,
000
hours
Population standard deviation,
σ
=
696
hours
Sample size,
n
=
36
1) The standard deviation for the sampling distribution:
σ
¯
x
=
σ
√
n
=
696
√
36
=
116
2) By the central limit theorem, the sampling distribution's expected value matches the population mean.
Thus:
The expected value of the sampling distribution equals the population mean,
μ
¯
x
=
μ
=
3
,
000
The standard deviation of the sampling distribution,
σ
¯
x
=
116
The sampling distribution of
¯
x
is roughly normal due to a sample size greater than
30
.
3) The likelihood that the average lifespan of the sample falls between
2670.56
and
2809.76
hours:
P
(
2670.56
<
x
<
2809.76
)
=
P
(
2670.56
−
3000
116
<
z
<
2809.76
−
3000
116
)
=
P
(
−
2.84
<
z
<
−
1.64
)
=
P
(
z
<
−
1.64
)
−
P
(
z
<
−
2.84
)
=
0.0482
In Excel: =NORMSDIST(-1.64)-NORMSDIST(-2.84)
4) The probability of the average life in the sample exceeding
3219.24
hours:
P
(
x
>
3219.24
)
=
P
(
z
>
3219.24
−
3000
116
)
=
P
(
z
>
1.89
)
=
0.0294
In Excel: =NORMSDIST(-1.89)
5) The likelihood that the sample's average life is lower than
3180.96
hours:
P
(
x
<
3180.96
)
=
P
(
z
<
3180.96
−
3000
116
)
=
P
(
z
<
1.56
)
=
0.9406
The response is A
I hope this information is useful.
To calculate the mean absolute deviation of
1,2,3,4,5,6,7
, we start by finding the mean;
(1+2+3+4+5+6+7) =28/7
= 4
. Next, we determine the absolute differences of each data point from the mean (x-μ)
= -3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3
. The absolute values are 3,2,1,0,1,2,3
. Now we compute the mean of these absolute differences,
3+2+1+0+1+2+3 = 12
= 12/7
= 1.7143
. Thus, the mean is 4, and the Mean absolute deviation comes out to be 1.7143
Response: The following comparison is made.
Detailed explanation:
At the playground, a climbing structure is 6 feet high and stretches 4 feet horizontally.
The slope can be calculated as vertical height divided by horizontal length.
= 6/4 = 3/2 = 1.5
In contrast, a climbing structure in the gym stands 10 feet tall, extending 6 feet horizontally.
Therefore, slope, 
= 10/6 = 5/3 = 1.67 (approximately)
As such, <
Thus, the slope of the first climbing structure is less than that of the second.
