Retention rates in a weight loss program. Americans spend over $30 billion annually on a variety of weight loss products and services. In a study of retention rates of those using the Rewards Program at Jenny Craig in 2005, it was found that about 18% of those who began the program dropped out in the first four weeks.10 Assume we have a random sample of 300 people beginning the program.
a) What is the mean number of people who would drop out of the Rewards Program within four weeks in a sample of this size? What is the standard deviation?
b) What is the approximate probability that at least 235 people in the sample will still be in the Rewards Program after the first four weeks?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

(a)

[tex]\mu=54[/tex]    

The standard deviation is  

[tex]\sigma=6.6543[/tex]

(b)

[tex]\mu=246\\\sigma=6.6543[/tex]  

Here sample size is large and np and n(1-p) are both greater than 30. So we can use a normal approximation of binomial distribution. z-score for Y = 234.5 (using continuity correction) is  

[tex]z=-1.73[/tex]

So the approximate probability that at least 235 people in the sample will still be in the Rewards Program after the first four weeks is  

[tex]P(Y\geq 235)=P(Y\geq 234.5)=P(z\geq -1.73)=0.9582[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:  

Let X is a random variable that shows the number of people who would drop out of the Rewards Program within four weeks. Here X has binomial distribution with parameters n = 300 and p = 0.18.

(a)  

The mean number of people who would drop out of the Rewards Program within four weeks in a sample of this size is  

[tex]\mu=np=300\cdot 0.18=54[/tex]  

The standard deviation is  

[tex]\sigma=\sqrt{np(1-p)}=\sqrt{300\cdot 0.18\cdot 0.82}=6.6543[/tex]  

(b)  

Let Y is a random variable that shows the number of people in the sample who will still be in the Rewards Program after the first four weeks. Here Y has a binomial distribution with parameters n= 300 and p=0.82. So mean of Y is  

[tex]\mu=np=300\cdot 0.82=246\\\sigma=\sqrt{np(1-p)}=\sqrt{300\cdot 0.18\cdot 0.82}=6.6543[/tex]  

Here sample size is large and np and n(1-p) are both greater than 30. So we can use a normal approximation of binomial distribution. z-score for Y = 234.5 (using continuity correction) is

[tex]z=\frac{Y-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{234.5-246}{6.6543}=-1.73[/tex]  

So the approximate probability that at least 235 people in the sample will still be in the Rewards Program after the first four weeks is  

[tex]P(Y\geq 235)=P(Y\geq 234.5)=P(z\geq -1.73)=0.9582[/tex]

Answer:    [tex]2\sqrt{7}[/tex]

When writing this on a keyboard, you would say 2*sqrt(7)

========================================================

Explanation:

The formula we'll use is

A = 0.5*p*q*sin(R)

where R is the angle between sides p and q.

The diagram shows that p = x+4 is opposite angle P, and q = x is opposite angle Q. Convention usually has the uppercase letters be angles, and the lowercase letters as the sides.

Plug in the given values and simplify to get the following

A = 0.5*p*q*sin(R)

A = 0.5*(x+4)*x*sin(60)

A = 0.5*(x+4)*x*sqrt(3)/2 ..... use the unit circle

A = 0.25*(x^2+4x)*sqrt(3)

A = (0.25x^2+x)*sqrt(3)

Set this equal to the given area of A = sqrt(27) and solve for x

A = (0.25x^2+x)*sqrt(3)

(0.25x^2+x)*sqrt(3) = A

(0.25x^2+x)*sqrt(3) = sqrt(27)

(0.25x^2+x)*sqrt(3) = 3*sqrt(3) .... see note1 at the very bottom

0.25x^2+x = 3

(1/4)x^2+x = 3

x^2+4x = 12 .... see note2 at the very bottom

x^2+4x-12 = 0

(x+6)(x-2) = 0

x+6 = 0 or x-2 = 0

x = -6 or x = 2

A negative side length doesn't make sense, so we ignore x = -6. The only solution here is x = 2.

Since x = 2, this means we have the following side lengths so far

p = RQ = x+4 = 2+4 = 6q = PR = x = 2

Now apply the law of cosines to find the missing side.

r^2 = p^2 + q^2 - 2*p*q*cos(R)

r^2 = 6^2 + 2^2 - 2*6*2*cos(60)

r^2 = 36 + 4 - 24*1/2

r^2 = 40 - 12

r^2 = 28

r = sqrt(28)

r = sqrt(4*7)

r = 2*sqrt(7)

Side PQ is exactly 2*sqrt(7) units long

This approximates to 2*sqrt(7) = 5.2915

------------------------------------

Footnotes:

Note1:  sqrt(27) = sqrt(9*3) = sqrt(9)*sqrt(3) = 3*sqrt(3)Note2: I multiplied both sides by 4 to clear out the fraction

Which conversions from scientific notation to standard notation are true? Select the four correct answers

Answers

The options are missing, so i have attached them.

Answer:

options B, E, G & H are correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

A) We are given;

1.71 × 10³ = 0.00171

For this conversion, the exponent attached to 10 is positive. This means we will have to move the decimal point to the right of 1.71 three times because the exponent is 3.

Thus, the proper conversion is;

1.71 × 10³ = 1710

B) We are given;

8.05 × 10^(5) = 805000

For this conversion, the exponent attached to 10 is positive. This means we will have to move the decimal point five times to the right of 8.05 because the exponent is 5.

Thus, the proper conversion is;

8.05 × 10^(5) = 805000

C) We are given;

2.4 × 10⁴ = -24000

For this conversion, the exponent attached to 10 is positive. This means we will have to move the decimal point four times to the right of 2.4 because the exponent is 4.

Thus, the proper conversion is;

2.4 × 10⁴ = 24000

D) We are given;

8.25 × 10^(-3) = -8250

For this conversion, the exponent attached to 10 is negative. This means we will have to move the decimal point three times to the left of 8.25 because the exponent is -3.

Thus, the proper conversion is;

8.25 × 10^(-3) = 0.00825

E) We are given;

7.09 × 10^(-6) = 0.00000709

For this conversion, the exponent attached to 10 is negative. This means we will have to move the decimal point six times to the left of 7.09 because the exponent is -6.

Thus, the proper conversion is;

7.09 × 10^(-6) = 0.00000709

F) We are given;

3.99 × 10^(5) = 300,099

For this conversion, the exponent attached to 10 is positive. This means we will have to move the decimal point five times to the right of 3.99 because the exponent is 5.

Thus, the proper conversion is;

3.99 × 10^(5) = 399,000

G)We are given;

8 × 10^(7) = 80,000,000

For this conversion, the exponent attached to 10 is positive. This means we will have to move the decimal point seven times to the right of 8 because the exponent is 7.

Thus, the proper conversion is;

8 × 10^(7) = 80,000,000

H) We are given;

1.03 × 10^(-4) = 0.000103

For this conversion, the exponent attached to 10 is negative. This means we will have to move the decimal point four times to the left of 1.03 because the exponent is -4.

Thus, the proper conversion is;

1.03 × 10^(-4) = 0.000103

Looking at all the options as well as the proof I got, only options B, E, G & H are correct.

Given the function f(x) = 0.5|x - 4| + 6, for what values of x is f(x) = 7

Answers

Answer:

6 or 2

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 0.5|x - 4| + 6

0.5|x - 4| + 6 = 7

0.5|x - 4| = 7-6

0.5|x - 4| = 1

|x - 4| = 2

x -4 = ± 2

x-4 = 2 ==> x = 6

x-4 = -2 => x = 2

so the value of x = 6 or 2

A hemispherical tank is filled with water and has a diameter of 4 feet. If water weighs 62.4 pounds per cubic foot, what is the total weight of the water in a full tank, to the nearest pound?

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  1046 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the hemisphere is given by the formula ...

  V = 2/3πr³

where r is the radius, or half the diameter.

The radius is (4 ft)/2 = 2 ft, so the volume of the tank is ...

 V = (2/3)π(2 ft)³ = 16/3π ft³ ≈ 16.755 ft³

Then the weight of the water in the tank is ...

  (16.755 ft³)(62.4 lb/ft³) ≈ 1045.52 lb

The total weight of the water is about 1046 pounds.

An electronics firm claims that the proportion of defective units of a certain process is 5%. A buyer has a standard procedure of inspecting 15 units selected randomly from a large lot. On a particular occasion, the bury found 5 items defective. a) What is the probability of this occurrence, given that the claim of 5% defective is correct

Answers

Answer:

0.0006 = 0.06% probability of this occurrence

Step-by-step explanation:

For each unit, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is defective, or it is not. The probability of an unit being defective is independent of any other unit, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

And p is the probability of X happening.

An electronics firm claims that the proportion of defective units of a certain process is 5%.

This means that [tex]p = 0.05[/tex]

A buyer has a standard procedure of inspecting 15 units selected randomly from a large lot.

This means that [tex]n = 15[/tex]

a) What is the probability of this occurrence?

Probability of 5 defective items, whch is P(X = 5). So

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 5) = C_{15,5}.(0.05)^{5}.(0.95)^{10} = 0.0006[/tex]

0.0006 = 0.06% probability of this occurrence

c(w)=−0.2w^2+9w+12

We want to find the how many more children than adults

f(w) = c(w) - a(w)

    = −0.2w^2+9w+12 - ( −0.4w^2+5w+9)
