A population of values has a normal distribution with u = 203.6 and o = 35.5. You intend to draw a randomsample of size n = 16.Find the probability that a single randomly selected value is greater than 231.1.PIX > 231.1) =Find the probability that a sample of size n = 16 is randomly selected with a mean greater than 231.1.P(M > 231.1) =Enter your answers as numbers accurate to 4 decimal places. Answers obtained using exact z-scores or Z-scores rounded to 3 decimal places are accepted.
Part 1:
The probability that a single randomly selected value is greater than 231.1 equals one minus the probability that it is less or equal to 231.1:
P(x > 231.1) = 1 - P(x ≤ 231.1)
Now, to find P(x ≤ 231.1), we can transform x in its correspondent z-score, and then use a z-score table to find the probability:
x ≤ 231.1 => z ≤ (231.1 - 203.6)/35.5, because z = (x - mean)/(standard deviation)
z ≤ 0.775 (rounding to 3 decimal places)
Then we have:
P(x ≤ 231.1) = P( z ≤ 0.775)
Now, using a table, we find:
P( z ≤ 0.775) ≅ 0.7808
Then, we have:
P(x > 231.1) ≅ 1 - 0.7808 = 0.2192
Therefore, the asked probability is approximately 0.2192.
Part 2
For the next part, since we will select a sample out of other samples with size n = 16, we need to use the formula:
z = (x - mean)/(standard deviation/√n)
Now, x represents the mean of the selected sample, which we want to be greater than 231.1. Then, we have:
z = (231.1 - 203.6)/(35.5/√16) = 27.5/(35.5/4) = 3.099
P(x > 231.1) = 1 - P(x ≤ 231.1) = 1 - P(x ≤ 231.1) = 1 - P( z ≤ 3.099) = 1 - 0.9990 = 0.0010
Therefore, the asked probability is approximately 0.0010.

A country's population in 1994 was 182 million.In 2002 it was 186 million. Estimatethe population in 2004 using the exponentialgrowth formula. Round your answer to thenearest million.
we have the exponential formula
[tex]P=Ae^{(kt)}[/tex]so
we have
A=182 million ------> initial value (value of P when the value of t=0)
The year 1994 is when the value ot t=0
so
year 2002 -----> t=2002-1994=8 years
For t=8 years, P=186 million
substitute the value of A in the formula
[tex]P=182e^{(kt)}[/tex]Now
substitute the values of t=8 years, P=186 million
[tex]\begin{gathered} 186=182e^{(8k)} \\ e^{(8k)}=\frac{186}{182} \\ \text{apply ln both sides} \\ 8k=\ln (\frac{186}{182}) \\ k=0.0027 \end{gathered}[/tex]the formula is equal to
[tex]P=182e^{(0.0027t)}[/tex]Estimate the population in 2004
t=2004-1994=10 years
substitute the value of t in the formula
[tex]\begin{gathered} P=182e^{(0.0027\cdot10)} \\ P=187 \end{gathered}[/tex]therefore
the answer is 187 millionWhat is the opposite of the number −12?

How to find the polynomial?Here we know that we have a cubic polynomial (of degree 3) with the following zeros:
2, 3, and 5.
Can any of the roots have multiplicity?
No, because a cubic polynomial can have at maximum 3 zeroes, and here we already have 3.
Now let's get the polynomial
Remember that a cubic polynomial with zeros a, b, and c can be written as:
p(x) = (x - a)*(x - b)*(x - c)

The inverse function table of the function is given by the image at the end of the answer.
How to calculate the inverse function?A function y = f(x) is composed by the following set of cartesian points:
(x,y).
In the inverse function, the input of the function represented by x and the output of the function represented by y are exchanged, meaning that the coordinate set is given by the following rule:
Thus, the points that will belong to the inverse function table are given as follows:
x = -8, f^(-1)(x) = -2, as the standard function has x = -2 and f(x) = -8.x = -4.5, f^(-1)(x) = -1, as the standard function has x = -1 and f(x) = -4.5.x = -4, f^(-1)(x) = 0, as the standard function has x = 0 and f(x) = -4.x = 0, f^(-1)(x) = 2, as the standard function has x = 2 and f(x) = 0.More can be learned about inverse functions at https://brainly.com/question/3831584

Given:-
A survey on the nationality of the student in the St Thomas international school is conducted and the results are shown.
To find if two students are randomly selected, what is the probability that both of them are European and if one student is randomly selected, what is the probability that a student is not Asian.
So now the total number of students are,
[tex]230+110+85+25=450[/tex]So now the probability of getting European is,
[tex]\frac{110}{450}=\frac{11}{45}[/tex]So the probability is,

i need some help list the integers in the set
Solution
The integers are the set of real numbers consisting of the natural numbers, their additive inverses and zero. {...,−5,−4,−3,−2,−1,0,1,2,3,4,5,...} The set of integers is sometimes written J or Z for short. The sum, product, and difference of any two integers is also an integer.
The whole numbers are set of real numbers that includes zero and all positive counting numbers. Whereas, excludes fractions, negative integers, fractions, and decimals. All the whole numbers are also integers, because integers include all the positive and negative numbers
The integers are real numbers
Therefore the numbers are list of integers

According to the problem, the length is 60 cm and the width is 450 mm.
Let's transform 450mm to cm. We know that 1 cm is equivalent to 10 mm. So,
[tex]450\operatorname{mm}\times\frac{1\operatorname{cm}}{10\operatorname{mm}}=45\operatorname{cm}[/tex]Then, we use the perimeter formula for rectangles.
[tex]P=2(w+l)[/tex]Where w = 45 cm and l = 60 cm.
[tex]\begin{gathered} P=2(45\operatorname{cm}+60\operatorname{cm})=2(105cm) \\ P=210\operatorname{cm} \end{gathered}[/tex]The perimeter is 210 centimeters long.However, we know that 1 meter is equivalent to 100 centimeters.
[tex]P=210\operatorname{cm}\cdot\frac{1m}{100\operatorname{cm}}=2.1m[/tex]Hence, the perimeter, in meters, is 2.1 meters long.
Option A is the answer.Trapezoid W'X'Y'Z' is the image of trapezoid W XYZ under a dilation through point C What scale factor was used in the dilation?
The scale factor is basically by what we need to multiply the original to get the dilated one.
Simple.
We can see that the original one is Trapezoid WXYZ and the dilated one is W'X'Y'Z'.
THe dilated trapezoid is definitely bigger than original. So the scale factor should be larger than 1.
One side of original is "6" and the corresponding side of dilated trapezoid is "14".
So, what we have to do to "6", to get "14"??
This is the scale factor!
To get 14, we have to multiply 6 with, suppose, "x", so:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 6x=14 \\ x=\frac{14}{6} \\ x=\frac{7}{3} \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence, SF is 7/3

Step-by-step explanation:
Suppose that 27 percent of American households still have a traditional phone landline. In a sample of thirteen households, find the probability that: (a)No families have a phone landline. (Round your answer to 4 decimal places.) (b)At least one family has a phone landline. (Round your answer to 4 decimal places.) (c)At least eight families have a phone landline.
Answer:
(a) P = 0.0167
(b) P = 0.9833
(c) P = 0.0093
Explanation:
To answer these questions, we will use the binomial distribution because we have n identical events (13 households) with a probability p of success (27% still have a traditional phone landline). So, the probability that x families has a traditional phone landline can be calculated as
[tex]\begin{gathered} P(x)=nCx\cdot p^x\cdot(1-p)^x \\ \\ \text{ Where nCx = }\frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!} \end{gathered}[/tex]Replacing n = 13 and p = 27% = 0.27, we get:
[tex]P(x)=13Cx\cdot0.27^x\cdot(1-0.27)^x[/tex]Part (a)
Then, the probability that no families have a phone landline can be calculated by replacing x = 0, so
[tex]P(0)=13C0\cdot0.27^0\cdot(1-0.27)^{13-0}=0.0167[/tex]Part (b)
The probability that at least one family has a phone landline can be calculated as
[tex]\begin{gathered} P(x\ge1)=1-P(0) \\ P(x\ge1)=1-0.167 \\ P(x\ge1)=0.9833 \end{gathered}[/tex]Part (c)
The probability that at least eight families have a phone landline can be calculated as
[tex]P(x\ge8)=P(8)+P(9)+P(10)+P(11)+P(12)+P(13)[/tex]So, each probability is equal to
[tex]\begin{gathered} P(8)=13C8\cdot0.27^8\cdot(1-0.27)^{13-8}=0.0075 \\ P(9)=13C9\cdot0.27^9\cdot(1-0.27)^{13-9}=0.0015 \\ P(10)=13C10\cdot0.27^{10}\cdot(1-0.27)^{13-10}=0.0002 \\ P(11)=13C11\cdot0.27^{11}\cdot(1-0.27)^{13-11}=0.00002 \\ P(12)=13C12\cdot0.27^{12}\cdot(1-0.27)^{13-12}=0.000001 \\ P(13)=13C13\cdot0.27^{13}\cdot(1-0.27)^{13-13}=0.00000004 \end{gathered}[/tex]Then, the probability is equal to
P(x≥8) = 0.0093
Therefore, the answers are
(a) P = 0.0167
(b) P = 0.9833
(c) P = 0.0093
