Answer from: troyjbabyjohnson

$z= \frac{47 -50}{\frac{12}{\sqrt{36}}}=-1.5$

$z= \frac{53 -50}{\frac{12}{\sqrt{36}}}=1.5$

And using a calculator, excel ir the normal standard table we have that:

$P(47 \leq \bar X \leq 53) =P(-1.5 \leq Z \leq 1.5)$

And we can calculate the probability like this: $P(-1.5 \leq Z \leq 1.5) = P(z$ Step-by-step explanation:

A random sample of 36 observations has been drawn from a normal distribution with mean 50 and standard deviation 12. Find the probability that the sample mean is in the interval 47<=X<53. Is the assumption of normality important. Why?

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the variable of interest of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

$X \sim N(50,12)$

Where $\mu=50$ and $\sigma=12$

Since the distribution for X is normal then we know that the distribution for the sample mean $\bar X$ is given by:

$\bar X \sim N(\mu, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})$

We can find the probability required like this:

$z= \frac{47 -50}{\frac{12}{\sqrt{36}}}=-1.5$

$z= \frac{53 -50}{\frac{12}{\sqrt{36}}}=1.5$

And using a calculator, excel ir the normal standard table we have that:

$P(47 \leq \bar X \leq 53) =P(-1.5 \leq Z \leq 1.5)$

And we can calculate the probability like this:

$P(-1.5 \leq Z \leq 1.5) = P(z$

Answer from: Quest

the correct answer is a) they believe they have a "just cause."

islamic terrorists justify their violent actions because they believe they have a "just cause."

every act of terrorism of islamic sects is done “in the name of allah”. that justifies their actions. islam people who commit those terrorist attacks are not afraid to die. that is why the attacks have horrible consequences. they know they are going to die and they are proud to do it because it is in the name of allah, so it is justified and is for a “good cause.”

since the very beginning of the conflict with israel, islam is fighting a “sacred war”, respecting the words stated in the qur’an. they fight against the domination of the western countries and to defend their occupied territories.
