A manufacturer knows that their items have a lengths that are skewed right, with a mean of 10 inches, and standard deviation of 1.6 inches. If 39 items are chosen at random, what is the probability that their mean length is greater than 10.5 inches

Solution :

Given :

Mean, μ = 10 inches

Standard deviation, σ = 1.6 inches

Sample size is n = 39

Therefore,

               = 0.25

                      = P( Z >2)

                       = 1 - P(Z < 2)

                       = 1 - 0.97225 (from standard normal table)

                       = 0.0277

the transverse axis of a hyperbola is the line that contains the two vertices and the two focuses.

in this example (hyperbola of equation x^2/2 - y^2/4 = 1), the transverse axis is the  x-axis  .
