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

2. Peter drew two rays, AC and AP with A as a common endpoint. Which of the following statements
PIT_PIT [9117]

The complete question reads:

Peter created two rays, AC and AP, sharing a common vertex at point A. Which of the following statements

might accurately describe Peter's drawing?

I. AC and AP are parallel.

II. PAC represents an angle.

III. AC and AP are at right angles.

A. I and II

B. II and III

C. I and III

D. I, II, and III

Answer:

Option B: II & III

Step-by-step explanation:

We know Peter has drawn rays AC and AP.

Since the point A is shared as the endpoint, it indicates an angular relationship at this common point.

This angle could potentially be 90°, suggesting that rays AC and AP may be perpendicular.

Thus, the valid statements that characterize his drawing are: II & III.

Line GH contains points G(–2, 6) and H(5, –3). What is the slope of ?
PIT_PIT [9117]

We apply the slope formula by substituting the given points.

m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

Here, x2 equals 5 and x1 equals -2; y2 equals -3 and y1 equals 6.

m=\frac{-3-6}{5-(-2)}=\frac{-9}{7}

Thus, the line's slope is -9 divided by 7.

Q2 (median) = d5 = 2 //middle value
Q1 = (d2+d3) / 2 = (0+2)/2 = 1
(Q1 represents the median of d1,d2,d3,d4, but as there is no singular middle element among four, the average is computed)
Q3 = (d7+d8) / 2 = (4+6)/2 = 5
interquartile range = IQR = Q3 - Q1 = 5 -1 = 4
final answer: 4
