An important factor in selling a residential property is the number of times real estate agents show a home. A sample of 15 homes recently sold in the Buffalo, New York, area revealed the mean number of times a home was shown was 24 and the standard deviation of the sample was 5 people.
a. What is the margin of error for a 98% confidence interval? (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)
b. What is the 98% confidence interval for the population mean? (Use Student's t Distribution Table.) (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) The margin of error for a 98% confidence interval is of 3.388 people.

b) The 98% confidence interval for the population mean is between 20.61 people and 27.39 people.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, which means that the hypergeometric distribution is used to solve this question.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 15 - 1 = 14

98% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 14 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of [tex]1 - \frac{1 - 0.98}{2} = 0.99[/tex]. So we have T = 2.624

The margin of error is:

[tex]M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 2.624\frac{5}{\sqrt{15}} = 3.388[/tex]

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample. This means that the answer to question a is of 3.388.

Question b:

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 24 - 3.39 = 20.61 people

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 24 + 3.39 = 27.39 people.

The 98% confidence interval for the population mean is between 20.61 people and 27.39 people.

After deduction of 4 paisa in a Rupee a sum of Rs 720 is left.What was it originally?​

Answers

Given:

After deduction of 4 paisa in a Rupee a sum of Rs 720 is left.

To find:

The original amount.

Solution:

We know that,

1 Rs. = 100 paisa

After deduction of 4 paisa in a Rupee, we get

[tex]100-4=96[/tex]

It means Rs. 720 is the 96% of the original amount.

Let x be the original amount.

[tex]720=\dfrac{96}{100}x[/tex]

[tex]72000=96x[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{72000}{96}=x[/tex]

the x-intercepts are at

x = -3

x = 0

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

ask the points, where the functional value is 0.

2x³ + 4x² - 6x = 0

we see that every term contains an expression of x. so, we can simplify this

x × (2x² + 4x - 6) = 0

so, one solution is plainly visible : x=0

for the other solutions we need to solve the square equation

2x² + 4x - 6 = 0

or even simpler

x² + 2x - 3 = 0

the solution of a square equation is

x = (-b ± sqrt(b² - 4ac))/(2a)

in our case

a=1

b=2

c=-3

x = (-2 ± sqrt(2² - 4×1×-3))/(2×1) = (-2 ± sqrt(4 + 12))/2 =

= (-2 ± sqrt(16))/2 = (-2 ± 4)/2 = -1 ± 2

x1 = -1 + 2 = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The mean of 2's

The distribution follows binomial distribution where:

[tex]X \to Binomial(n,p)[/tex]

In this case:

[tex]p= \frac{1}{6}[/tex] ---- the theoretical probability of rolling 2

So, the mean of 2's is calculated using:

Many people consider their smart phone to be essential! Communication, news, Internet, entertainment, photos, and just keeping current are all conveniently possible with a smart phone. However, the battery better be charged or the phone is useless. Battery life of course depends on the frequency, duration, and type of use. One study involving heavy use of the phones showed the mean of the battery life to be 15.25 hours with a standard deviation of 2.2 hours. Then the battery needs to be recharged. Assume the battery life between charges is normally distributed.

Required:
a. Find the probability that with heavy use, the battery life exceeds 11 hours.
b. You are planning your recharging schedule so that the probability your phone will die is no more than 5%. After how many hours should you plan to recharge your phone?

Answers

Answer:

a) The probability that with heavy use, the battery life exceeds 11 hours is 0.4602.

b) Using the standard normal table, After 6.8 hours should you plan to recharge your phone.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The probability that with heavy use, the battery life exceeds 11 hours:-

P(x > 11) = 1 - p( x< 11)  

[tex]=1- p P[(x - \mu) / \sigma < (11 - 10.75) / 2.4]\\\\=1- P(z < 0.10)[/tex]  

Using z table distribution,    

= 1 - 0.5398  

= 0.4602  

b) Using the standard normal table,  

[tex]P(Z < z) = 5%\\\\\\\\= P(Z < -1.645 ) = 0.05 \\z = -1.645[/tex]

Using the z-score formula,  

[tex]x = z \times \sigma + \mu\\x = -1.645 * 2.4 + 10.75\\x = 6.8 hours.[/tex]

An arch is in the form of a parabola given by the function h = -0.06d^2 + 120, where the origin is at ground level, d meters is the horizontal distance and h is the height of the arch in meters.
Graph this function on your graphing calculator then complete the following statements.
The height of the arch is: ------- m
The width to the nearest meter, at the base of the arch is ------ m

Answers

Answer:

See attachment for graph

The height of the arch is: 120 m

The width to the nearest meter, at the base of the arch is 22 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]h = -0.06d^2 + 120[/tex]

Solving (a): The graph

See attachment for graph

Variable h is plotted on the vertical axis while variable d is plotted on the horizontal axis.

Solving (b): The height

The curve of [tex]h = -0.06d^2 + 120[/tex] opens downward. So, the maximum point on the vertical axis represents the height of the arch,

Hence:

[tex]height = 120[/tex]

Solving (c): The width

The curve touches the horizontal axis at two different points.

[tex]x_1 = -11[/tex]

[tex]x_2 = 11[/tex]

The absolute difference of both points represents the width.

So:

[tex]Width = |x_2 - x_1|[/tex]

[tex]Width = |11 - -11|[/tex]

[tex]Width = |11 +11|[/tex]

[tex]Width = |22|[/tex]

Hence:

[tex]Width = 22[/tex]

The x-intercepts are the points on the plot of a function f(x) where the graph crosses the x-axis. In other words, they're the values of x that make f(x) = 0.

In this case, the x-intercepts are the two roots of the parabola,

(x - 4) (x - 5) = 0 … … … (this is what the hint is referring to)

==>   x - 4 = 0   or   x - 5 = 0

==>   x = 4   or   x = 5

The intercepts themselves are points (x, f(x)), so you can report them as (4, 0) and (5, 0).

A raffle has a grand prize of a European cruise valued at $10000 with a second prize of a Rocky Point vacation valued at $700. If each ticket costs $4 and 11000 tickets are sold, what are the expected winnings for a ticket buyer?

Answers

Answer:

- 3.027

Step-by-step explanation:

First price = 10000 ; second price = 700

Number of tickets sold = 11000

Ticket cost = $4

Probability that a ticket wins grand price = 1 / 11000

Probability that a ticket wins second price = 1 / 11000

X ____ 10000 _____ 700

P(x) ___ 1 / 11000 ___ 1/11000

Expected winning for a ticket buyer :

E(X) = Σx*p(x)

E(X) = (1/11000 * 10000) + (1/11000 * 700) - ticket cost

E(X) = 0.9090909 + 0.0636363 - 4

Bunny Hill Ski Resort charges $35 for ski rental and $10 an hour to ski. Black Diamond Ski Resort charges $40 for ski rental and $5 an hour to ski. Create an equation to determine at what point
the cost of both ski slopes is the same.

Answers

Answer:

Bunny Hill Ski Resort:

y = 10x + 35

Diamond Ski Resort:

y = 5x + 40

Point where the cost is the same:

(1, 45)

Step-by-step explanation:

The question tells us that:

$35 and $40 are initial fees

$10 and $5 are hourly fees

This means that x and y will equal:

x = number of hours

y = total cost of ski rental after a number of hours

So we can form these 2 equations:

y = 10x + 35

y = 5x + 40

Now we are going to use System of Equations to find what point the cost of both ski slopes is the same.

Because they both equal y, we can set the equations equal to each other:

10x + 35 = 5x + 40

And we use basic algebra to solve for x:

10x + 35 = 5x + 40

(subtract 5x from both sides)

5x + 35 = 40

(subtract 35 from both sides)

5x = 5

(divide both sides by 5)

x = 1

Remember, x equals the number of hours.

That means when your rent out the skis for 1 hour, you will get the same price of $45 (you find the price by plugging in 1 into both of the equations)

Answers

Answer:  720

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

Explanation:

The number 8 from "8 year old boy" can be completely ignored. In my opinion, this is an (un)intentional distraction on your teacher's part.

There are 6 toys to arrange. The order is important.

For the first slot, there are 6 choices. Then the second slot has 5 choices (we cannot have a toy occupy more than one slot at a time).The third slot has 4 choices, and so on.

We have this countdown: 6,5,4,3,2,1

Those values multiply out to 6*5*4*3*2*1 = 720

There are 720 ways to arrange the 6 different toys. Order matters.

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

An alternative approach is to use the nPr permutation formula with n = 6 and r = 6. We use a permutation because order matters.

The nPr formula is

[tex]_{n} P _{r} = \frac{n!}{(n-r)!}\\\\[/tex]

where the exclamation marks indicate factorial. For example, 6! = 6*5*4*3*2*1 = 720.
