(1 point) The number of eggs that a female house fly lays during her lifetime is normally distributed with mean 790 and standard deviation 92.
Random samples of size 98 are drawn from this population, and the mean of each sample is determined. What is the probability that
the mean number of eggs laid would differ from 790 by less than 30? Round your answer to four decimal places.

0.9988 = 99.88% probability that the mean number of eggs laid would differ from 790 by less than 30.

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 $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

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 $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .

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

Mean 790 and standard deviation 92.

This means that $\mu = 790, \sigma = 92$

Samples of 98

This means that $n = 98, s = \frac{92}{\sqrt{98}}$

What is the probability that the mean number of eggs laid would differ from 790 by less than 30?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 790 + 30 = 820 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 790 - 30 = 760. So

X = 820

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

By the Central Limit Theorem

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}$

$Z = \frac{820 - 790}{\frac{92}{\sqrt{98}}}$

Z = 3.23

Z = 3.23 has a pvalue of 0.9994

X = 760

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}$

$Z = \frac{760 - 790}{\frac{92}{\sqrt{98}}}$

Z = -3.23

Z = -3.23 has a pvalue of 0.0006

0.9994 - 0.0006 = 0.9988

0.9988 = 99.88% probability that the mean number of eggs laid would differ from 790 by less than 30.

Answer from: Quest

fa tha first one you gonna add y to both sides

it look like this

x-y+y=6+y

x=y+6

therefore your answer is

x =y+6

fa tha second one

you gonna flip tha equation

it gonna look like x-4y=y

then add 4 to both sides

it gonna look like tha

x-4 +4 =y +4

so therefore tha answer is x=y+4

Data from 2005 for various age groups show that for each $100 increase in the median weekly income for whites, the median weekly income of blacks increases by $105. also, for workers of ages 25 to 54 the median weekly income for whites was $676 and for blacks was $527. (a) let w represent the median weekly income for whites and b the median weekly income for blacks, and write the equation of the line that gives b as a linear function of w. b = (b) when the median weekly income for whites is $760, what does the equation in (a) predict for the median weekly income for blacks?
