Concerns about the climate change and CO2 reduction have initiated the commercial production of blends of biodiesel (e. g. from renewable sources) and petrodiesel (from fossil fuel). Random samples of 34 blended fuels are tested in a lab to ascertain the bio/total carbon ratio.(a) If the true mean is 0.9370 with a standard deviation of 0.0090 within what interval will 99% of the sample means fail?(b) If the true mean 0.9370 with a standard deviation of 0.0090, what is the sampling distribution of ¯X?

a) 99% of the sample means will fall between 0.933 and 0.941.

b) By the Central Limit Theorem, approximately normal, with mean 0.937 and standard deviation 0.0015.

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 and standard deviation , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

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 and standard deviation , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean and standard deviation .

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

(a) If the true mean is 0.9370 with a standard deviation of 0.0090 within what interval will 99% of the sample means fail?

Samples of 34 means that

We have that

By the Central Limit Theorem,

Within what interval will 99% of the sample means fail?

Between the (100-99)/2 = 0.5th percentile and the (100+99)/2 = 99.5th percentile.

0.5th percentile:

X when Z has a pvalue of 0.005. So X when Z = -2.575.

By the Central Limit Theorem

99.5th percentile:

X when Z has a pvalue of 0.995. So X when Z = 2.575.

99% of the sample means will fall between 0.933 and 0.941.

(b) If the true mean 0.9370 with a standard deviation of 0.0090, what is the sampling distribution of ¯X?

By the Central Limit Theorem, approximately normal, with mean 0.937 and standard deviation 0.0015.

segment bisector

step-by-step explanation:

line segment bisector. definition: a line, ray or segment which cuts another line segment into two equal parts. try this drag one of the orange dots at a or b and note the the line ab always divides the line pq into two equal parts.

the arc length is found by finding the circumference of the full circle (2xpixradius) and then dividing by 4 to find just one quarter of the circle (90 degrees).
