In a recent study reported Oct.29, 2012 on the Flurry Blog, the mean age of tablet users is 35 years. Suppose the standard deviation is ten years. The sample size is 39.
What are the mean and standard deviation for the sum of the ages of tablet users? What is the distribution?
Find the probability that the sum of the ages is between 1,400 and 1,500 years.
Find the 90
th percentile for the sum of the 39 ages.
μ
Σx =
nμ
x = 1,365 and
σ

The distribution is normal for sums by the central limit theorem.
P (1400<
Σ
x <1500) =
normalcdf (1400,1500,(39)(35),(
)(10)) = 0.2723
Let
k = the 90
th percentile.
k =
invNorm (0.90,(39)(35),(

The mean number of minutes for app engagement by a tablet user is 8.2 minutes. Suppose the standard deviation is one minute. Take a sample of size 70.
What are the mean and standard deviation for the sums?
Find the 95
th percentile for the sum of the sample. Interpret this value in a complete sentence.
Find the probability that the sum of the sample is at least ten hours.

Σx =

x = 70(8.2) = 574 minutes and

(1) = 8.37 minutes
Let
k = the 95
th percentile.
k = invNorm
(0.95,(70)(8.2),
(1)) = 587.76 minutes
Ninety five percent of the app engagement times are at most 587.76 minutes.
ten hours = 600 minutes
P (Σ

normalcdf (600,E99,(70)(8.2),

The mean number of minutes for app engagement by a table use is 8.2 minutes. Suppose the standard deviation is one minute. Take a sample size of 70.
What is the probability that the sum of the sample is between seven hours and ten hours? What does this mean in context of the problem?
Find the 84
th and 16
th percentiles for the sum of the sample. Interpret these values in context.
7 hours = 420 minutes
10 hours = 600 minutes
normalcdf
This means that for this sample sums there is a 99.9% chance that the sums of usage minutes will be between 420 minutes and 600 minutes.
Since 84% of the app engagement times are at most 582.32 minutes and 16% of the app engagement times are at most 565.68 minutes, we may state that 68% of the app engagement times are between 565.68 minutes and 582.32 minutes.

Chapter review
The central limit theorem tells us that for a population with any distribution, the distribution of the sums for the sample means approaches a normal distribution as the sample size increases. In other words, if the sample size is large enough, the distribution of the sums can be approximated by a normal distribution even if the original population is not normally distributed. Additionally, if the original population has a mean of
μ
X and a standard deviation of
σ
x , the mean of the sums is
nμ
x and the standard deviation is
(
σ
x ) where
n is the sample size.
The lymphatic system plays several crucial roles in the human body, functioning as a key component of the immune system and contributing to the maintenance of fluid balance. Its main functions include:
1. Immune Response: The lymphatic system produces and transports lymphocytes, which are a type of
asegid
to transport fluids fats proteins and lymphocytes to the blood stream as lymph
Anatomy is the study of the structure of the body, while physiology is the study of the function of the body. Anatomy looks at the body's organs and systems, while physiology looks at how those organs and systems work together to keep the body functioning.
Enzymes are proteins that help speed up chemical reactions in our bodies. Enzymes are essential for digestion, liver function and much more. Too much or too little of a certain enzyme can cause health problems

the normal temperature is 37°c or 98.6 °Fahrenheit is important for maintaining the homeostasis in the body
the body regular this temperature through the process called thermoregulation which involves brain skin muscle and other organ working together to maintain stable internal temperature
