In order to control costs, a company wishes to study the amount of money its sales force spends entertaining clients. The following is a random sample of six entertainment expenses (dinner costs for four people) from expense reports submitted by members of the sales force. $157 $132 $109 $145 $125 $139 a. Calculate x , s2, and s for the expense data. In addition, show that the two different formulas for calculating s2 give the same result. b. Assuming that the distribution of entertainment expenses is approximately normally distributed, calculate estimates of tolerance intervals containing 68.26 percent, 95.44 percent, and 99.73 percent of all entertainment expenses by the sales force. c. If a member of the sales force submits an entertainment expense (dinner cost for four) of $190, should this expense be considered unusually high (and possibly worthy of investigation by the company)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A) x¯ = 134.5

s² = 276.7 is the same for both formulas

s = 16.634

B) At 68.26%, we have (117.866, 151.134)

At 95.44%, we have (101.232, 167.768)

At 99.73%, we have (84.598, 184.402)

C) Yes, it will be considered high because 190 doesn't fall between any of the 3 tolerance intervals gotten in B above.

Step-by-step explanation:

A) The random 6 entertainment expenses are;

$157, $132, $109, $145, $125, $139

We want to find x¯ which is the mean.

Thus;

x¯ = (Σx)/n

x¯ = (157 + 132 + 109 + 145 + 125 + 139)/6

x¯ = 134.5

s² is the variance and can be calculated from 2 different formulas which are;

s² = (Σ(x - x¯)²)/n

Or s² = ((Σx²) - (Σx)²/n)/(n - 1)

For the first formula, when calculated we have;

s² = [(157−134.5)² + (132−134.5)² +(109−134.5)² + (145−134.5)² +(125−134.5)² + (139−134.5)²]/6

s² = 276.7

For the second formula;

(Σx²) = (157)² + (132)² + (109)² + (145)² +(125)² + (139)² = 109925

(Σx) = (157 + 132 + 109 + 145 + 125 + 139) = 807

Thus;

s² = (109925 - (807²/6))/(6 - 1)

s² = 276.7

So both formulas gave the same result of s²

s = √s² = √276.7

s = 16.634

B) from the empirical rule, 68% of the data will fall within one standard deviation while 95% of the data will fall within two standard deviations, and then 99.7% of the data will fall within three standard deviations from the mean.

Now, 68.26% will correspond to 1 standard deviation from the means and the tolerance level Formula here is;

x¯ ± s = 134.5 ± 16.634

This gives; (117.866, 151.134)

95.44% will correspond to within 2 standard deviations and the formula here is;

x¯ ± 2s = 134.5 ± 2(16.634)

>> (101.232, 167.768)

99.73% will correspond to within 3 standard deviations and the formula here is;

x¯ ± 3s = 134.5 ± 3(16.634)

>> (84.598, 184.402)

C) Yes it would be considered high because it doesn't fall between any of the 3 intervals in B above.

Answers

Answer:

7 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Tamika and Bryan :

Distance per day = 7 miles

Number of days = 5

Tottal distance hiked = 7*5 = 35 miles

Distance per day = 5 miles

Number of days = x

Total distance hiked = 5x

Answers

Answer:

12000 mg/day or 80 capsules

Step-by-step explanation:

First let's convert 44 lbs to kg. You could divide by 2.205 to get more precise answer but since 44 divides perfectly by 2.2 I don't think it's a coincidence it's meant to be rounded.

44/2.2=20 kg

600*20=12000 mg per day

12000/150=80 capsules

A used car dealership surveyed 50 customers who bought a card from them two years ago. 78% of customers said that they would recommend this dealership to their friends. What is the 90% confidence interval for the percent of all former buyers who would recommend this dealership to their friends

Answers

Answer:

The 90% confidence interval for the percent of all former buyers who would recommend this dealership to their friends is (68.36%, 87.64%).

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of [tex]\pi[/tex], and a confidence level of [tex]1-\alpha[/tex], we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

[tex]\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

In which

z is the z-score that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}[/tex].

A used car dealership surveyed 50 customers who bought a card from them two years ago. 78% of customers said that they would recommend this dealership to their friends.

This means that [tex]n = 50, \pi = 0.78[/tex].

90% confidence level

So [tex]\alpha = 0.1[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{0.1}{2} = 0.95[/tex], so [tex]Z = 1.645[/tex].

The lower limit of this interval is:

[tex]\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.78 - 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.78*0.22}{50}} = 0.6836[/tex]

The upper limit of this interval is:

[tex]\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.78 + 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.78*0.22}{50}} = 0.8764[/tex]

As a percent:

0.6836*100% = 68.36%

0.8764*100% = 87.64%

The 90% confidence interval for the percent of all former buyers who would recommend this dealership to their friends is (68.36%, 87.64%).

Answer:

x = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Secant-Secant Product Theorem. This theorem states that if two secants intersect in the exterior of a circle, then the products of the lengths of one secant segment and its external segment equal the products of the lengths of the other secant segment and its external segment. \

Use formula : (whole*outside = whole*outside)

1. Formula

WO = WO

2. Substitute variables and setup equation

7(x+7) = 6(6+15)

3. Simplify and remove parentheses

7x+49 = 126

4. Isolate and solve for (x)

7x = 77

x = 11

Answer: 11

Given:

The figure of circle and two secants from an external point.

To find:

The value of x.

Solution:

According to intersecting secant theorem: If two secants (I and II) intersect each other outside the circle then

(I secant) × (external segment of I) = (II secant) × (external segment of II)

Using the intersecting secant theorem, we get

[tex]7(7+x)=6(6+15)[/tex]

[tex]49+7x=36+90[/tex]

[tex]7x=126-49[/tex]

[tex]7x=77[/tex]

Divide both sides by 7.

[tex]x=\dfrac{77}{7}[/tex]

[tex]x=11[/tex]

Therefore, the value of x is 11.

How many milliliters of the 4% solution should be used?

Answers

Answer:

240 ml of 1.5% solution and 360 ml of 4% solution should be used.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since a lab assistant needs to create a 600 mL mixture that is 3% hydrochloric acid, and the assistant has solutions of 1.5% and 4% in supply at the lab, to determine the number of milliliters of the 1.5% solution and the number of milliliters of the 4% solution that must be used, the following calculations must be performed:

50 x 0.015 + 50 x 0.04 = 0.75 + 2 = 2.75

40 x 0.015 + 60 x 0.04 = 0.6 + 2.4 = 3

600 x 0.4 = 240

Therefore, 240 ml of 1.5% solution and 360 ml of 4% solution should be used.

Answer:

[tex]Mean = 6.07[/tex]

[tex]Median = 7[/tex]

[tex]Mode = 7[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Data: 5\ 3\ 7\ 8\ 0\ 1\ 0\ 5\ 12\ 10\ 7\ 6\ 7\ 11\ 9[/tex]

[tex]n = 15[/tex]

Solving (a): The mean

Mean is calculated as:

[tex]Mean = \frac{\sum x}{n}[/tex]

This gives:

[tex]Mean = \frac{5+ 3+ 7+ 8+ 0+ 1+ 0+ 5+ 12+ 10+ 7+ 6+ 7+ 11+ 9}{15}[/tex]

[tex]Mean = \frac{91}{15}[/tex]

[tex]Mean = 6.07[/tex]

Solving (b): The median

Sort the data in ascending order:

[tex]Data: 5\ 3\ 7\ 8\ 0\ 1\ 0\ 5\ 12\ 10\ 7\ 6\ 7\ 11\ 9[/tex]

[tex]Sorted: 0\ 0\ 1\ 3\ 5\ 5\ 6\ 7\ 7\ 7\ 8\ 9\ 10\ 11\ 12[/tex]

The median is:

[tex]Median = \frac{n + 1}{2}th[/tex]

[tex]Median = \frac{15 + 1}{2}th[/tex]

[tex]Median = \frac{16}{2}th[/tex]

[tex]Median = 8th[/tex]    

The 8th item on the sorted dataset is 7; So:

[tex]Median = 7[/tex]

Solving (c): The mode

[tex]Mode = 7[/tex]

Because it has a frequency of 3 (more than any other element of the dataset).

A pistol is accidentally discharged vertically upward from a height of 3 feet above the ground. If the bullet has an initial velocity of 200 feet per second the path of the bullet is modeled by the equation h=-16t 2 +200t+3, what maximum height will it reach before it starts to fall back down to the ground?

Answers

Answer:

hmax = 628 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The bullet will reach its maximum height when its velocity h'(t) becomes zero. The equation of motion is

h(t) = -16t^2 + 200t + 3

Taking the derivative of h(t) is

h'(t) = -32t + 200

Solving for t when h'(t) = 0, we get

t = 200/32 = 6.25 s

and this is the time it takes for the bullet to reach its maximum height. Using this value for t into h(t), we get

h = -16(6.25 s)^2 + 200(6.25 s) + 3

= 628 ft
