A study on the latest fad diet claimed that the amounts of weight lost by all people on this diet had a mean of 22.0 pounds and a standard deviation of 5.4 pounds.

Step 1 of 2:

If a sampling distribution is created using samples of the amounts of weight lost by 77 people on this diet, what would be the mean of the sampling distribution of sample means? Round to two decimal places, if necessary.

Two Earth satellites, A and B, each of mass mmm = 930 kgkg , are launched into circular orbits around the Earth's center. Satellite A orbits at an altitude of 4000 kmkm , and satellite B orbits at an altitude of 12600 kmkm
What are the potential energies of the two satellites? (in Jules)
What are the kinetic energies of the two satellites?     (in Jules)
How much work would it require to change the orbit of satellite A to match that of satellite B? (in jules)

You are given the following information with respect to a bond:

par amount: 1000 / term to maturity 3 years / annual coupon rate 6% payable annually

You are also given that the one, two, and three year annual spot interest rates are 7%, 8%, and 9% respectively.

1). Calculate the value of the bond.

2). Calculate the annual effective yield rate for the bond if the bond is sold at a price equal to its value.

For the variable continues to be assigned by gender (men and women) it generates the
two-means hypothesis test to compare whether there is a difference between the mean of variable X of the Woman
and the mean of variable X for Men; and the hypothesis test of two variances
(standard deviation) to determine whether there is a difference between the standard deviation of the
variable X for Women and the standard deviation of variable X for Men

The claim that will use for both the mean and standard deviation parameter is "greater than"
Use a 95% confidence level (=0.05).

The SAT is a standardized college admissions test used in the United States. The following two multi-part questions will ask you some questions about SAT testing.

This is a 6-part question asking you to determine some probabilities of what happens when a student guessed for all of their answers on the SAT. Use the information below to inform your answers for the following questions.

An old version of the SAT college had a -0.25 point penalty for every incorrect answer and awarded 1 point for a correct answer. The quantitative test consisted of 44 multiple-choice questions each with 5 answer choices. Suppose a student chooses answers by guessing for all questions on the test.

1. What is the standard error of guessing on all 44 questions? Use the Central Limit Theorem to determine the probability that a guessing student scores 8 points or higher on the test.
