SAT verbal scores are normally distributed with a mean of 430 and a standard deviation of 120 (based on data from the College Board ATP). (a) If a single student is randomly selected, find the probability that the sample mean is above 500. (b) If a sample of 35 students are selected randomly, find the probability that the sample mean is above 500. These two problems appear to be very similar. Which problem requires the application of the central limit theorem, and in what way does the solution process differ between the two problems?
Using the normal distribution and the central limit theorem, it is found that there is a:
a) 0.281 = 28.1% probability that the sample mean is above 500.
b) 0.0003 = 0.03% probability that the sample mean is above 500.
In a normal distribution 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]
It 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, which is the percentile of X. By the Central Limit Theorem, the sampling distribution of sample means of size n has standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].In this problem:
The mean is of 430, hence [tex]\mu = 430[/tex].The standard deviation is of 120, hence [tex]\sigma = 120[/tex].Item a:
The probability is the p-value of Z when X = 500, hence:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{500 - 430}{120}[/tex]
[tex]Z = 0.58[/tex]
[tex]Z = 0.58[/tex] has a p-value of 0.719.
1 - 0.719 = 0.281
0.281 = 28.1% probability that the sample mean is above 500.
Item b:
Sample of 35, hence [tex]n = 35, s = \frac{120}{\sqrt{35}}[/tex]
Then:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
By the Central Limit Theorem
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{500 - 430}{\frac{120}{\sqrt{35}}}[/tex]
[tex]Z = 3.45[/tex]
[tex]Z = 3.45[/tex] has a p-value of 0.9997.
1 - 0.9997 = 0.0003
0.0003 = 0.03% probability that the sample mean is above 500.

16 does not equal 2, so there are no solutions.
Please help me find the height of 302 after some seconds?
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the initial velocity of the object is 170 ft/s, the expression for h is given by
[tex]h = -16t^2 + 170t[/tex]
In order to find the time it takes for the object to reach the height of 302 ft, we to rewrite the equation above as
[tex]302 = -16t^2 +170t \Rightarrow 16t^2 - 170t + 302 = 0[/tex]
This is a quadratic equation whose roots are
[tex]t = \dfrac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}[/tex]
where a = 16, b = -170 and c = 302. Using these values, we get
[tex]t = \dfrac{170 \pm \sqrt{(-170)^2 - 4(16)(302)}}{2(16)}[/tex]
[tex]\;\;\;=\dfrac{170 \pm \sqrt{28900 - 19328}}{32}[/tex]
[tex]\;\;\;= \dfrac{170 \pm 97.8}{32}[/tex]
[tex]\;\;\;= 2.3\:\text{s},\;\;8.4\:\text{s},[/tex]
This means the object will reach the height of 302 ft 2.3 seconds after launch and then at 8.4 seconds after launch (on its way down).

Triangle in space with vertices P= (1, 0, 0), Q = (0,1,0), R=(0, 0, 2), find angle at P P=
Answer:
71.6°
Step-by-step explanation:
The angle can be found from the dot product of PQ and PR.
PQ·PR = |PQ|×|PR|×cos(α)
where α is the angle between the two segments.
cos(α) = (Q -P)·(R -P)/(|Q -P|×|R -P|)
= ((0, 1, 0) -(1, 0, 0))·((0, 0, 2) -(1, 0, 0))/(|Q -P|×|R -P|)
= (-1, 1, 0)·(-1, 0, 2)/(√(((-1)² +1²)((-1²) +2²)) = (1+0+0)/√10
α = arccos(1/√10) ≈ 71.6°
The angle at P is about 71.6°.
_____
Additional comment
The side lengths of the triangle are √2, √5, √5. As we have seen, the angle at P is bounded by the sides of length √2 and √5. The law of cosines can also be used to arrive at the angle between these sides.

Try changing these improper fractions to mixed numbers.
16/5?
( teach me how to solve this please!)
Answer:
3 1/5
Step-by-step explanation:
The improper fraction 16/5 is called improper because the top number(the numerator) is bigger than the bottom number(the denominator) we "fix" this by dividing and creating a mixed number (it is called mixed because there is a whole part and a fraction part):
As 16÷5 >>> doing this division gives you 3 wholes and 1/5 leftover. We write this as
3 1/5 (in handwriting the three is big and the 1/5 is a fraction, it is the mixed number they are asking you for)

Birdseed costs $0.57 a pound and sunflower seeds cost $0.87 a pound. Angela Leinenbachs' pet store wishes to make a 30 pound mixture of birdseed and sunflower seeds that sells for $0.81 per pound. How many pounds of each type of seed should she use?
Step-by-step explanation:
x = pounds birdseed
y = pounds sunflower seeds
x + y = 30
0.57x + 0.87y = 30×0.81
with this last trick (to calculate the full cost of the whole 30 pounds based on the targeted individual price per pound) we bring both constraints into the play.
from the first equation we get
x = 30 - y
and we use that in the second equation :
0.57×(30-y) + 0.87y = 30×0.81 = $24.30
17.1 - 0.57y + 0.87y = 24.3
0.3y = 7.2
y = 24
x = 30 - y = 30 - 24 = 6
she uses 6 pounds of birdseed and 24 pounds of sunflower seeds.
A random sample of 25 boxes of cereal have a mean of 372.5grams and a standard deviation of 15 grams. Does an average box of cereal contain more than 368 grams of cereal? Test hypothesis at the 5% significance level, outline all steps involved. (9mks)
Using the t-distribution, it is found that since the test statistic is less than the critical value for the right-tailed test, there is not enough evidence to conclude that an average box of cereal contain more than 368 grams of cereal.
At the null hypothesis, it is tested if the average box of cereal does not contain more than 368 grams, that is:
[tex]H_0: \mu \leq 368[/tex]
At the alternative hypothesis, it is tested if it contains, that is:
[tex]H_1: \mu > 368[/tex]
We have the standard deviation for the sample, hence, the t-distribution is used to solve this question.
The test statistic is given by:
[tex]t = \frac{\overline{x} - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]
The parameters are:
[tex]\overline{x}[/tex] is the sample mean. [tex]\mu[/tex] is the value tested at the null hypothesis. s is the standard deviation of the sample. n is the sample size.In this problem, the values of the parameters are: [tex]\overline{x} = 372.5, \mu = 368, s = 15, n = 25[/tex].
Hence, the value of the test statistic is:
[tex]t = \frac{\overline{x} - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]
[tex]t = \frac{372.5 - 368}{\frac{15}{\sqrt{25}}}[/tex]
[tex]t = 1.5[/tex]
The critical value for a right-tailed test, as we are testing if the mean is greater than a value, with a significance level of 0.05, with 25 -1 = 24 df, is of [tex]t^{\ast} = 1.71[/tex].
Since the test statistic is less than the critical value for the right-tailed test, there is not enough evidence to conclude that an average box of cereal contain more than 368 grams of cereal.
