The world health organization reports that the distribution of ages at time of death in the united states has a mean u of 79.8 years and a standard deviation ơ of 15.5 years, based on death certificates. the distribution of ages at time of death is obviously left-skewed (, few people die young and most die old). researchers plan to take a random sample of 100 american death certificates.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

First, you need to determine your study variable and summarize the information given. This way it'll be easier to answer all questions.

a. In this question you have to calculate the sample mean (x[bar]) and standard deviation (S), unfortunately, without the sample information, you cannot calculate these two values.

To calculate the sample mean you have to use the formula:

x[bar]: ∑xi/n

And the sample standard deviation

S²: ∑xi² - (∑xi)²/n

S:√S²

b. To answer this item you need to apply the Central Limit Theorem definition to the problem.

This theorem states that given a population with a probability function f (X; μ, σ²) from which a random sample of size n is selected. Then the distribution of the sample mean tends to the normal distribution with mean μ and variance σ²/ n when the sample size tends to infinity (or if the sample size is large enough; n≥30).

With this in mind, you can say that thanks to the Central Limit Theorem, in this example, the sample mean of the age of death of Americans has an approximately Normal distribution X[bar]≈N (79.8; 240.25/100)

c. The probability you need to calculate in this item is P(x(bar)<78)

For this, you need to standardize the variable using the statistical Z=(x[bar]-μ)/(σ²/ n) ≈ N(01;)

P(x[bar]<78) ⇒ P(Z<((78-79.8)/(15.5/√100) ⇒ P(Z<-1.8/1.55) ⇒ P(Z<-1.16) = 0.4364

The probability that the mean age at the time of death in a random sample of 100 American death certificates will be less than 78 years is 0.4364.

I hope you have a SUPER day!

ratios represent a pattern or relationship that can be scaled.

equivalent ratios are pairs of ratios that represent the same relationship between quantities, and can be generated by multiplying or dividing both quantities in the ratio by the same factor.

in this lesson, students will use double number lines and ratio reasoning to solve ratio problems. by partitioning double number lines into proportionate intervals, students will build an understanding of equivalent ratio relationships as those that are generated by multiplying or dividing two related quantities by the same number. this lesson will build upon students' prior understanding of multiplicative comparisons, number line reasoning and equivalent fractions (while highlighting the difference between equivalent fractions and equivalent ratios); and will build toward future work in this unit on building ratio tables, and work in future grades in proportionality, scaling, and expressing and graphing linear functions.
