The heights of women in the USA are normally distributed with a mean of 64 inches and a standard deviation of 3 inches.

Required:
a. A random sample of six women is selected. What is the probability that the sample mean is greater than 63 inches?
b. What is the probability that a randomly selected woman is taller than 66 inches?
c. What is the probability that the mean height of a random sample of 100 women is greater than 66 inches?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) 0.2061

(b) 0.2514

(c) 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X denote the heights of women in the USA.

It is provided that X follows a normal distribution with a mean of 64 inches and a standard deviation of 3 inches.

(a)

Compute the probability that the sample mean is greater than 63 inches as follows:

[tex]P(\bar X>63)=P(\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\sigma/\sqrt{n}}>\frac{63-64}{3/\sqrt{6}})\\\\=P(Z>-0.82)\\\\=P(Z<0.82)\\\\=0.20611\\\\\approx 0.2061[/tex]

Thus, the probability that the sample mean is greater than 63 inches is 0.2061.

(b)

Compute the probability that a randomly selected woman is taller than 66 inches as follows:

[tex]P(X>66)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{66-64}{3})\\\\=P(Z>0.67)\\\\=1-P(Z<0.67)\\\\=1-0.74857\\\\=0.25143\\\\\approx 0.2514[/tex]

Thus, the probability that a randomly selected woman is taller than 66 inches is 0.2514.

(c)

Compute the probability that the mean height of a random sample of 100 women is greater than 66 inches as follows:

[tex]P(\bar X>66)=P(\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\sigma/\sqrt{n}}>\frac{66-64}{3/\sqrt{100}})\\\\=P(Z>6.67)\\\\\ =0[/tex]

Thus, the probability that the mean height of a random sample of 100 women is greater than 66 inches is 0.

simplify 5.42 - 4.987

Answers

Answer:

0.433

Step-by-step explanation:

5.42 - 4.987

Subtract each column of digits starting from right to left.

5.420

- 4.987

If the digit being subtracted is larger than the digit above it then borrow a digit from the next left column.

5.420

- 4.987

Borrow 1 from 5:

4.(10+4)20

- 4.987

4.(14)20

- 4.987

Borrow 1 from 14:

4.(13)(10+2)0

- 4.987

4.(13)(12)0

- 4.987

Borrow 1 from 12:

4.(13)(11)(10+0)

- 4.987

4.(13)(11)(10)

- 4.987

Subtract the second digit from the first:

(10 - 7 = 3):

4.(13)(11)(10)

- 4.987

= 3

(11 - 8 = 3):

4.(13)(11)

- 4.987

= 33

(13 - 9 = 4):

4.(13)

- 4.987

= 433

4.(13)

- 4.987

= .433

(4 - 4 = 0):

4.(13)

- 4.987

= 0.433

Find the amount to be paid at the end of eight years that is equivalent to a payment of $400 now and a payment of $300 at the end of four years
(a) if 6% simple interest is earned from the date each payment is made and use a comparison date of right now.
(b) if 6% simple interest is earned from the date each payment is made and use a comparison date of eight years from now.
(c) Explain why the fact you get different answers in parts (a) and (b) does not contradict the fact that equations of value at different times are equiv- alent equations.
(d) Repeat parts (a) and (b) except replace "simple interest" with "compound interest."

Answers

Answer:

A) $964

B) $651.35

C)  The difference in value for part a and part b is due to time factor and the accumulated interest hence it is better to pay $651.35 right now than to pay $964 when you pay $400 now and $300 in four years time

D)  $1016.28 ,  $637.63

Step-by-step explanation:

lets assume the amount to be paid in eight years that is equivalent to payment of $400 now and a payment of $300 at the end of four ( 4 ) years ( FV )

a) since a 6% interest is earned each day of every payment

will use this formula : S = P( 1 + rt )

therefore  $400 paid today will a simple interest of = 400 * 0.06 * 8 = $192

$300 paid at the end of four years will earn a simple interest of = 300*0.06*4 = $72

hence FV = $ ( 400 + 192 ) + $ ( 300 + 72 ) = $964

b) when compared with eight years from now

PV = [tex]\frac{FV}{1+rt}[/tex]  = ($964) / ( 1 + (0.06*8) = $651.35

C) The difference in value for part a and part b is due to time factor and the accumulated interest hence it is better to pay $651.35 right now than to pay $964 when you pay $400 now and $300 in four years time

D) Repeating parts (a) and (b) using compound interest

using the formula : S = P( 1 + r )^t

therefore $400 paid today will have a compound interest of

= 400 ( 1.06)^8 = $637.54

$300 paid at the end of four years will earn a compound interest of

= 300 ( 1.06 ) ^4 = $378.74

hence FV = 637.54 + 378.74 = $1016.28

when compared with eight years from now

= [tex]\frac{FV}{(1+r)^t}[/tex]  = ( 1016.28 ) / ( 1.06 ) ^8    = $637.63

One-fourth of the residents of the Burning Ridge Estates leave their garage doors open when they are away from home. The local chief of police estimates that 5 % of the garages with open doors will have something stolen, but only 1 percent of those closed will have something stolen. If the garage is robbed, what is the probability the doors ware left open

Answers

Answer:

If the garage is robbed, the probability the doors ware left open is 0.625.

Step-by-step explanation:

Denote the events as follows:

X = garage doors open

Y = something is stolen

The information provided is:

P (X) = 0.25

P (Y|X) = 0.05

P (Y|X') = 0.01

Compute probability that the garage is robbed as follows:

[tex]P(Y)=P(Y|X)P(X)+P(Y|X')P(X')\\\\=(0.05\times 0.25)+(0.01\times (1-0.25))\\\\=0.0125+0.0075\\\\=0.02[/tex]

Compute the probability the doors ware left open given that the garage is robbed as follows:

[tex]P(X|Y)=\frac{P(Y|X)P(X)}{P(Y)}\\\\=\frac{0.05\times 0.25}{0.02}\\\\=0.625[/tex]

Thus, if the garage is robbed, the probability the doors ware left open is 0.625.

If she wants to split them evenly then she can only give each cat 2 treats. so 2 x 6 = 12 which means that there are 3 treats left

Answer:

She will give 2 cat treats to each cat, with 3 cat treats remaining.

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, it wants us to find what 15 divided by is is with the remainder.

6 goes into 15,  2 times, resulting in 12.

15 - 12 = 3

This means that she will give 2 cat treats to each cat, with 3 cat treats remaining.

to find the product
(

.
Which statement is true?

Answers

The property is an illustration of difference of two squares

The true statement is [tex]\mathbf{(30 - 4)(30 + 4) = 30^2 -4^2}[/tex]

The property is given as:

[tex]\mathbf{(x - y)(x + y) = x^2 - y^2}[/tex]

The product is given as:

[tex]\mathbf{(26)(34)}[/tex]

Let x - y = 26, and x + y = 34.

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{x - y = 26}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{x + y = 34}[/tex]

Make x the subject in [tex]\mathbf{x - y = 26}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{x = 26 +y}[/tex]

Substitute 26 + y for x in [tex]\mathbf{x + y = 34}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{26 + y+ y = 34}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{26 + 2y = 34}[/tex]

Subtract 26 from both sides

[tex]\mathbf{2y = 34 -26}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{2y = 8}[/tex]

Divide both sides by 2

[tex]\mathbf{y = 4}[/tex]

Substitute 4 for y in [tex]\mathbf{x = 26 +y}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{x = 26 + 4}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{x = 30}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{(x - y)(x + y) = x^2 - y^2}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{(30 - 4)(30 + 4) = 30^2 -4^2}[/tex]

Hence, the true statement is [tex]\mathbf{(30 - 4)(30 + 4) = 30^2 -4^2}[/tex]

the virus is already 28% loaded if it is loaded at the rate of 12% every 10 minutes how much time do we have before it is 100% loaded .​

Answers

Answer:

You will have 40 mins before 100%

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of minutes taken to completely load is 60 minutes.

Given that, the virus is already 28% loaded if it is loaded at the rate of 12% every 10 minutes.

What is percentage?

Percentage is defined as a given part or amount in every hundred. It is a fraction with 100 as the denominator and is represented by the symbol "%".

Here,

Remaining virus to load =100-28

= 72

The rate of 12% every 10 minutes

Now, 72/12

= 6

So, 6×10 =60 minutes

Therefore, the number of minutes taken to completely load is 60 minutes.
