0.43% probability that the mean IQ score of 50 randomly selected people will be more than 23

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 normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore 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 pvalue, 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.

In this question:

$\mu = 21.1, \sigma = 5.1, n = 50, s = \frac{5.1}{\sqrt{50}} = 0.7212$

What is the probability that the mean IQ score of 50 randomly selected people will be more than 23

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 23. So

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

$Z = \frac{23 - 21.1}{0.7212}$

Z = 2.63

Z = 2.63 has a pvalue of 0.9957

1 - 0.9957 = 0.0043

0.43% probability that the mean IQ score of 50 randomly selected people will be more than 23

Answer from: Quest

arc length = 6.63311 ft.

step-by-step explanation:

the formula the arc measure is:

arc length s=2πr(c)/360

where:

c is the central angle of the arc in degrees

r is the radius of the arc

π is pi, approximately 3.142

using the above formula we get

s = $\frac{19}{360} (2)(3.142)(20) = 6.63311$

thus we find that arc length of an arc for a circle of radius 20 feet and central angle 19 degrees is

6.63311 feet
