An elevator has a placard stating that the maximum capacity is 1580 lb-10 passengers. So, 10 adult male passengers can have a mean weight of up to 1580/10 = 158 pounds. If the elevator is loaded with 10 adult male passengers, find the probability that it is overloaded because they have a mean weight greater than 158 lb. (Assume that weights of males are normally distributed with a mean of 160 lb and a standard deviation of 35 lb.) Does this elevator appear to be safe?
Answer:
a) 0.5714 = 57.14% probability that it is overloaded because they have a mean weight greater than 158 lb
b) No, because the probability of being overloaded is considerably high(57.14%). Ideally, it should be under 5%, which would be considered an unusual event.
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 [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore 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 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 [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].
For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.
Assume that weights of males are normally distributed with a mean of 160 lb and a standard deviation of 35 lb.
This means that [tex]\mu = 160, \sigma = 35[/tex]
Sample of 10:
This means that [tex]n = 10, s = \frac{35}{\sqrt{10}} = 11.07[/tex]
a) Find the probability that it is overloaded because they have a mean weight greater than 158 lb.
This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 158. So
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
By the Central Limit Theorem
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{158 - 160}{11.07}[/tex]
[tex]Z = -0.18[/tex]
[tex]Z = -0.18[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.4286
1 - 0.4286 = 0.5714
0.5714 = 57.14% probability that it is overloaded because they have a mean weight greater than 158 lb.
b.) Does this elevator appear to be safe?
No, because the probability of being overloaded is considerably high(57.14%). Ideally, it should be under 5%, which would be considered an unusual event.

We are formulating a 90% confidence interval for the population mean and would like our confidence interval to have a margin of error that is not larger than 3. Experience suggests that a reasonable estimate for the population standard deviation is 15. What minimum sample size should be anticipate using? (NOTE: Round your final answer up to the next whole number).
Answer:
A sample size of 68 should be anticipated using.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have that to find our [tex]\alpha[/tex] level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:
[tex]\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.9}{2} = 0.05[/tex]
Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \alpha[/tex].
That is z with a pvalue of [tex]1 - 0.05 = 0.95[/tex], so Z = 1.645.
Now, find the margin of error M as such
[tex]M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]
In which [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.
Experience suggests that a reasonable estimate for the population standard deviation is 15
This means that [tex]\sigma = 15[/tex]
What minimum sample size should be anticipate using?
Margin of error at most 3, which means that the sample size is n when M = 3. So
[tex]M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]
[tex]3 = 1.645\frac{15}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]
[tex]3\sqrt{n} = 1.645*15[/tex]
Simplifying both sides by 3:
[tex]\sqrt{n} = 1.645*5[/tex]
[tex](\sqrt{n})^2 = (1.645*5)^2[/tex]
[tex]n = 67.7[/tex]
Rounding up
A sample size of 68 should be anticipated using.
Given that z is a standard normal random variable, find z for each situation (to 2 decimals).
A. The area to the right of z is 001.
B. The area to the right of z is 0.045.
C. The area to the right of z is 0.05.
D. The area to the right of z is 0.2.
Answer:
a) Z = 2.33
b) Z = 1.7
c) Z = 1.65.
d) Z = 0.84.
Step-by-step explanation:
Z-score:
In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore 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, which is also the area to the left of z. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X, which is also the area to the right of z.
A. The area to the right of z is 0.01.
Z has a pvalue of 1 - 0.01 = 0.99. So Z = 2.33.
B. The area to the right of z is 0.045.
Z has a pvalue of 1 - 0.045 = 0.955. So Z = 1.7
C. The area to the right of z is 0.05.
Z has a pvalue of 1 - 0.05 = 0.95. So Z = 1.65.
D. The area to the right of z is 0.2.
Z has a pvalue of 1 - 0.2 = 0.8. So Z = 0.84.

Answer:
If Jenny gives her brother 28 marbles, they will have 59 marbles each.
Step-by-step explanation:
The key to finding this answer is a mean, or average. Find it for the number of marbles:
[tex]\text{Mean}=\frac{87+31}{2}= \frac{118}{2}=59 \text{ marbles}[/tex]
So, on average, each one should have 59 marbles.
Finally, to find out how many marbles Jenny should give to her brother, subtract the average (59 marbles) from her count:
[tex]87-59=28 \text{ marbles}[/tex]
This means Jenny would give up 28 of her marbles to her brother.

A tabletop in the shape of a trapizoid has an area 8607 square centimeters. its longer base measures 123 centimeters, and the shorter base is 105 centimeters what is the height?
Answer:
286.94 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Data:
Area = 8,607
b1 = 105
b2 = 123
Area = 1/2 * (b1 + b2) * h
h = 2 * Area/b1 + b2
h = 2 * 8,607/105 + 123
h = 286.94 cm

Without doing calculations choose the equation that you can NOT use to answer the question. What number is 55% of 80?
Answer: See explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
You didn't specify the equations but let me solve the question.
55% of 80.
The above statement simply means that you need to multiply 55% by 80. This will be:
= 55% of 80
= 55/100 × 80
= 0.55 × 80
= 44
Therefore, 55% of 80 is 44
Based on your question, any other equation that doesn't give 44 as an answer cannot be used to answer the question.
