A) we will choose 70 unc students at random and calculate the average monthly housing cost for the group. what will be the mean and standard deviation of the sampling distribution for the sample mean ? give your answers to 2 decimal places.

Question:

Suppose the monthly cost of housing for a UNC student is a random variable with mean 690 dollars and standard deviation equal to 113 dollars.

a) We will choose 70 UNC students at random and calculate the average monthly housing cost for the group. What will be the mean and standard deviation of the sampling distribution for the sample mean ? Give your answers to 2 decimal places.

b) How large a sample is required for the standard deviation of the sampling distribution to be below 10? Your answer should be an integer.

a) Mean μ = 690.00 dollars

Sample standard deviation  ≈ 13.51 dollars

b) For the standard deviation of the sampling distribution to be below 10 the sample size, n ≥ ≈ 128 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, based on the central limit theorem, the sampling distribution sample mean is equal to the population  mean

The mean, μ of the 70 UNC student monthly housing cost is therefore,

Mean μ = 690 dollars

The Sampling distribution sampling mean standard deviation is given as

, therefore,

Where:

The population standard deviation, σ = 113 dollars and

Sample size, n = 70 we have

Sample standard deviation = 113/√70 = 13.506 dollars ≈ 13.51 dollars

B. For the sample standard deviation to be below 10, we have

113/√n < 10

∴ √n > 113/10

n > 11.3² = 127.69 ≈ 128 students

lo.lll

step-by-step explanation:

problem:

f(x) = - 2/3x + 5; f(5/2)

substitute 5/2 in for x:

f(5/2) = -2/3(5/2) + 5

simplify the right side:

f(5/2) = -5/3 + 5

f(5/2) = 10/3

f(5/2) = 10/3

i hope this !
