P (within $6 of 4) = 0.9164

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 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 $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .

Mean of $139 and a standard deviation of $30.

This means that $\mu = 139, \sigma = 30$

Random sample of 75 households

This means that $n = 75, s = \frac{30}{\sqrt{75}} = 3.464$

75 > 30, which means that the sampling distribution is approximately normal.

Find the probability that the mean amount of electric bills for a random sample of 75 households selected from this city will be within $6 of the population mean.

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 139 + 6 = 145 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 139 - 6 = 133.

X = 145

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

$Z = \frac{145 - 139}{3.464}$

Z = 1.73

Z = 1.73 has a pvalue of 0.9582

X = 133

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

$Z = \frac{133 - 139}{3.464}$

Z = -1.73

Z = -1.73 has a pvalue of 0.0418

0.9582 - 0.0418 = 0.9164

P (within $6 of 4) = 0.9164

i think it is everything has to equal 180 so, if i correct 4=c. 6=d. 8=a. 7=b. and the last question would be c. because they are parallel lines and they are congruent.

step-by-step explanation:

the reason everything has to equal to 180 is because that is how it works. i'm guessing that is its rule. 4 and 8 are congruent and parallel so, that would be 30+30 because they have the same number. it would equal 60. 6 and 7 are congruent and parallel so, that would be 30+30 because they have the same number. it would equal 60. 60+60 is 180. so, now you have your answer

Which statements are true? check all that apply. the line x = 0 is perpendicular to the line y = –3. all lines that are parallel to the y-axis are vertical lines. all lines that are perpendicular to the x-axis have a slope of 0. the equation of the line parallel to the x-axis that passes through the point (2, –6) is x = 2. the equation of the line perpendicular to the y-axis that passes through the point (–5, 1) is y = 1.

Look at this system of equations. -3x + 3y = 12 y = x + 4 the solution set of this system is best explained by which of these statements? a) the graphs of the equations are the same line because the equations have the same slope and the same y-intercept. the system has infinitely many solutions. b) the graphs of the equations are parallel lines because they have the same slope but different y-intercepts. the system has no solution. c) the graphs of the equations are lines that intersect at one point because the equations have the same slope but different y-intercepts. the system has exactly one solution. d) the graphs of the equations are lines that intersect at one point because the equations have the same slope and the same y-intercept. the system has exactly one solution.
