g Annual starting salaries in a certain region of the U. S. for college graduates with an engineering major are normally distributed with mean $39725 and standard deviation $7320. Suppose a school takes a sample of 125 such graduates and records the annual starting salary of each. The probability that the sample mean would be at least $39000 is about

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The probability that the sample mean would be at least $39000 is of 0.8665 = 86.65%.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

Mean $39725 and standard deviation $7320.

This means that [tex]\mu = 39725, \sigma = 7320[/tex]

Sample of 125

This means that [tex]n = 125, s = \frac{7320}{\sqrt{125}}[/tex]

The probability that the sample mean would be at least $39000 is about?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 39000. So

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

By the Central Limit Theorem

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{39000 - 39725}{\frac{7320}{\sqrt{125}}}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.11[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.11[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.1335

1 - 0.1335 = 0.8665

The probability that the sample mean would be at least $39000 is of 0.8665 = 86.65%.

The pH of a liquid is a measure of how acidic or basic it is. The concentration of hydrogen ions in a liquid is labeled (H+). Use the formula pH = -log[H] to find the pH level, to the nearest tenth, of a liquid with [H] about 8.1 x 10-7,

a = 6.1
b = 7.9
с = -7.9
d = 7.0

Answers

Answer:

pH = 6.1

Step-by-step explanation:

pH = -log[H]

pH = -log[8.1 x 10^-7]

pH ≈ 6.09

Therefore, option a, 6.1, is closest to this value and is the correct answer.

During the 10 wk period, the rainfall amount recorded most often for City B was 1 in.


The median for City A is less than the median for City B.

Answers

Answer:

During the 10 wk period, the rainfall amount recorded most often for City B was 1 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data :

City A :

Reordered data:

0, 0.2, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 1, 1.3, 1.5, 2.5, 3

City B :

Reordered data:

0, 0, 0.1, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 1, 1, 1

Using a calculator :

Mean Rainfall for City A = 1.04

Mean rainfall for city B = 0.41

Range : maximum - minimum

City A = 3 - 0 = 3

City B = 1 - 0 = 1

Mode (most occurring) :

City A = 0.2

City B = 1

Median :

City A = 0.7

City B = 0.25

The only true conclusion in the options given that can be drawn from the data is that ;During the 10 wk period, the rainfall amount recorded most often for City B was 1 in.

The more times you run a probability-based trial, the more likely you are to get close to the theoretical frequency.

2

Since 1 and 2 represent goals, just find the options that have three/four 2's and 1's. These are 5212, 2152, 2512, and 2112. Since there are 4 options out of 20, we can say our probability is 4/20

C

Since 1 and 2 represent goals, we have to find the options where there are no 1's or 2's. These are 6643, 3554, 4533, 6634, 4536, and 5546. Since there are 6 options out of 20, we can say our probability is 6/20

A scatterplot of these two variables reveals a potential outlying month when the average temperature is about 53F and average crawling age is about 28.5 weeks. Does this point have high leverage

Answers

Answer:

The point has a high leverage

Step-by-step explanation:

The point has a high leverage as it would act as an infinitesimal point that will have a very huge/drastic  impact on the fit of the model, and this impact can be seen in such ways as listed below :

Smaller coefficient of determinationHigher sum of squares error

removing this point will eliminate these drastic impact and make the correlation to be better.

From the information given about the outliner, the given point is not influential and therefore does not have high leverage.

What is an outliner?

An outlier refers to a data point whose response does not follow the general trend of the rest of the data.

A data point has high leverage if it has an extreme predictor x value. Here, x = 53 and, y = 28.5.

X is not an extreme point, the data point is not high leverage but an outlier. The data point doesn't follow the general trend of the rest of the data.

Hence the given point is not influential.
