A salesman who uses his car extensively finds that his gasoline bills average $125.32 per month with a standard deviation of $49.51. Assume monthly gasoline bill amounts are normally distributed. The probability that his bill will be less than $50 a month or more than $150 for a single month is:

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The probability that his bill will be less than $50 a month or more than $150 for a single month is 0.3728 = 37.28%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

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 p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

A salesman who uses his car extensively finds that his gasoline bills average $125.32 per month with a standard deviation of $49.51.

This means that [tex]\mu = 125.32, \sigma = 49.51[/tex]

Less than 50:

p-value of Z when X = 50. So

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{50 - 125.32}{49.51}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.52[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.52[/tex] has a p-value of 0.0643

More than 150

1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 150. So

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{150 - 125.32}{49.51}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.5[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.5[/tex] has a p-value of 0.6915

1 - 0.6915 = 0.3085

The probability that his bill will be less than $50 a month or more than $150 for a single month is:

0.0643 + 0.3085 = 0.3728

The probability that his bill will be less than $50 a month or more than $150 for a single month is 0.3728 = 37.28%.

The librarian at the Library of Congress has asked her assistant for an interval estimate of the mean number of books checked out each day. The assistant took a sample and found the mean to be 880 books. She provides the librarian with an interval estimate of between 790 and 970 books checked out per day. An efficient, unbiased point estimate of the number of books checked out each day at the Library of Congress is

Answers

Answer:

a. 880

Step-by-step explanation:

Options are "a. 880 b. 90 c. 790 d. None of these choices"

Interval estimate of between 790 and 970 books checked out per day.

Lower limit is 790, Upper limit is 970

Point estimate of μ(x) = [Upper limit + Lower limit} / 2

Point estimate of μ(x) = [970 + 790] / 2

Point estimate of μ(x) = 1760/2

Point estimate of μ(x) = 880

So, the efficient, unbiased point estimate of the number of books checked out each day at the New York City Public Library is 880.

n manufacturing a product, 85% of the units that are produced are not defective. Of the products inspected, 10% of the good ones (i.e., not defective) are falsely seen as defective and not shipped whereas only 5% of the defective products end up approved and shipped. If a product is shipped, what is the probability that it is defective?

Answers

Answer:

0.0097 = 0.97% probability that it is defective

Step-by-step explanation:

Conditional Probability

We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is

[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}[/tex]

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.

[tex]P(A \cap B)[/tex] is the probability of both A and B happening.

P(A) is the probability of A happening.

In this question:

Event A: Product is shipped.

Event B: It is defective.

Probability of the product being shipped:

100 - 10 = 90% of 85%(not defective).

5% of 100 - 85 = 15%(defective). So

[tex]P(A) = 0.9*0.85 + 0.05*0.15 = 0.7725[/tex]

Probability of being shipped and being defective:

5% of 15%. So

[tex]P(A \cap B) = 0.05*0.15 = 0.0075[/tex]

What is the probability that it is defective?

[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.0075}{0.7725} = 0.0097[/tex]

0.0097 = 0.97% probability that it is defective

Answer:

[tex]x=80^{\circ},\\y=80^{\circ}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The measure of an angle formed by a secant and a tangent outside of a circle is half of the absolute difference between the two arcs it forms. Therefore, we have the following equation:

[tex]m\angle A=\frac{\widehat{BC}-\widehat{BD}}{2}[/tex]

Substituting given values, we get:

[tex]20=\frac{120-x}{2},\\40=120-x,\\x=\boxed{80^{\circ}}[/tex]

Since there are 360 degrees in a circle, we can write the following equation, using [tex]x[/tex], to solve for [tex]\widehat{DC}[/tex]:

[tex]x+\widehat{DC}+120=360,\\80+\widehat{DC}+120=360,\\\widehat{DC}=\boxed{160^{\circ}}[/tex]

The value of the angle formed by a chord and a tangent is half the measure of the arc it forms. Therefore,

[tex]y=\frac{\widehat{DC}}{2}=\frac{160}{2}=\boxed{80^{\circ}}[/tex]

Answer :12 feet
Explanation :(x)^2=(11.5)^2+(3.5)^2
X^2=132.25+12.25
X^2=144.5 then square root it
X=12 feet

Hence, the approximate length of the ladder​ is [tex]12ft[/tex].

What is the approximation value?

An approximation is anything that is similar, but not exactly equal, to something else. A number can be approximated by rounding.

A calculation can be approximated by rounding the values within it before performing the operations.

Here given that,

[tex](x)^2=(11.5)^2+(3.5)^2\\X^2=132.25+12.25\\X^2=144.5 \\X=\sqrt{144.5}\\X=12 feet[/tex]

Ahmed has 31 coins in his pocket, all of which are dimes and quarters. If the total value of his change is 535 cents, how many dimes and how many quarters does he have?

Answers

Answer:

19  dimes and  15  quarters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets substitute in the equation

565=10x+25(34-x)

565=10x+850-25x

15x=285

x=19

So...

34-19=15

19 dimes and 15 quarters.
Explanation:
34=x+y
34−x=y
565=10x+25y
Substitute the first equation, so
565=10x+25(34−x)
565=10x+850−25x
15x=285
x=19 dimes
Therefore
34−19= 15 quarters

Is x = 9 in the solution set of the inequality x + 14 < 20
Yes or no

Answers

Answer: No

Step-by-step explanation:

Data: x+14<20

x=9? Is what your trying to find

Step one, Isolate x by subtracting 14 on both sides

X+14-14<20-14=X=6

Reason: Since you are trying to find if x=9, you have to isolate it. The way to do that is to get rid of +14 by subtracting it by 14. However, since what you do to one side you do to the other, you subtract +20 by 14 to get 6.

Since x=6 isn't x=9, the answer is No

Answer: No

Answers

Answer:

Since the calculated z =-3.5357 falls in the critical region z ≥ 1.645 we reject H0 and conclude that the sample provides sufficient evidence to indicate that the true percentage of all firms that announced one or more acquisitions during the year 2000 is ≥ 30%

Step-by-step explanation:

Testing  hypothesis about a population proportion when sample size is large.

If the sample size is large then the variable

z= p^-p / sqrt [pq/n]

is approximately standard normal.

Formulate the hypotheses as

H0 : p < 30%   against the claim Ha: p ≥ 30%

Choose the significance level ∝= 0.05

the critical region is z ≥ 1.645 because the alternative hypothesis is stated on a greater  than or equal to basis.

Computing

Z= 748-(2778*0.3)/ √2778*30/100*70/100

z= 748-833.4/√583.38

z= -85.4/24.153

z=-3.5357

Since the calculated z =-3.5357 falls in the critical region z ≥ 1.645 we reject H0 and conclude that the sample provides sufficient evidence to indicate that the true percentage of all firms that announced one or more acquisitions during the year 2000 is ≥ 30%

The p- value is 0.0002
