the amount people pay for cable service varies quite a bit but the mean monthly fee is $142 and the standard deviation is $29. the distribution is not normal many people pay about $76 for basic cable and about $160 for premium service but some pay much more. a sample survey is designed to ask a simple random sample of 1,500 cable service customers how much they pay. let x hat be the mean amount paid.
Part a: what are the mean an standard deviation of the sample distribution of x hat show your work and justify your reasoning.
Part b: what is the shape of the sampling distribution of x hat justify your answer.
Part C: what is the probability that the average cable service paid by the sample of cable service customers will exceed $143? show your work.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) By the Central Limit Theorem, the mean is $142 and the standard deviation is $0.7488.

b) By the Central Limit Theorem, approximately normal.

c) 0.0901 = 9.01% probability that the average cable service paid by the sample of cable service customers will exceed $143

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution

When the distribution is normal, we use 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.

The mean monthly fee is $142 and the standard deviation is $29.

This means that [tex]\mu = 142, \sigma = 29[/tex]

Part a: what are the mean an standard deviation of the sample distribution of x hat show your work and justify your reasoning.

Sample of 1500(larger than 30).

By the Central Limit Theorem

The mean is $142

The standard deviation is [tex]s = \frac{29}{\sqrt{1500}} = 0.7488[/tex]

Part b: what is the shape of the sampling distribution of x hat justify your answer.

By the Central Limit Theorem, approximately normal.

Part C: what is the probability that the average cable service paid by the sample of cable service customers will exceed $143?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 143. So

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

By the Central Limit Theorem

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{143 - 142}{0.7488}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.34[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.34[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.9099

1 - 0.9099 = 0.0901

0.0901 = 9.01% probability that the average cable service paid by the sample of cable service customers will exceed $143

Which type of climate change is most likely to lead to mass extinction in which vast numbers of species of all kinds die off? A.) A gradual change in precipitation


B.) A gradual warming


C.) A gradual cooling


D.) A very rapid change

Answers

The following answer to this equation is D!

A very rapid climate change is most likely to lead to mass extinction in which vast numbers of species of all kinds die off.

What is ECOLOGICAL SUCCESSION?

An ecosystem can change its structure and composition over a particular period. This term is called ECOLOGICAL SUCCESSION.

Succession refers to the gradual change that occurs in a community over time. Succession is of two types; primary and secondary succession.

Climate change and succession are causes of change in the ocean ecosystem. Hence, the succession represents the gradual change that occurs in the structural composition of the ocean ecosystem over time.

The risk of future extinction through rapid global warming is primarily expected to occur by the interaction between the climates to which organisms are adapted in their current range and the future distribution of those climates.

Thus the correct option is D.

A very rapid climate change is most likely to lead to mass extinction in which vast numbers of species of all kinds die off.

One number is seven more than six times another number. If the sum of the numbers is 21, find the numbers

Answers

Answer:the two numbers are 2 and 19

Step-by-step explanation:

Let one of the numbers be x

and the second be   7+ 6x

so that the sum of the two numbers which totals 21 be expressed as  

x + (7+ 6x) = 21

x+ 7+6x= 21

7 + 7x = 21

7x= 14

x= 14/7 = 2

one of the numbers = 2

the other number given as

7+ 6x = 7+ 6 x 2= 7+12= 19

The numbers are 2 and 19 .

The numbers as described in the question are; 2 and 19

Solving word problems

From the given problem statements;

The first number = y

The second number = x

Hence, y = (7 + 6x)

Their sum is therefore;

x + 7 = 6x = 21

7x = 14

x = 2

Hence, the second number is; 7 + 6x = 7 + 6(2);

y = 19

*Hana purchased 2 pairs of pants for $26.59 each and a coat for $49. She used a coupon that saved her $10. The sales tax for the purchase was $7.84. How much was the total purchase?

Answers

Answer:

$100.02

Step-by-step explanation:

*Sales tax is always applied after the discount/coupon

1. Find how much Hana had spent on pants. Since she had bought 2 pairs of pants, and they are $26.59 each, we would have to multiply 26.59 by 2. So,

26.59 times 2 is 53.18.

Hana spent $53.18 on pants

2. Find how much Hana had spent on a coat. Since she had bought 1 coat, and they are $49.00 each, we would have to multiply 49.00 by 1. So,

49.00 times 1 is 49.

Hanna spent $49 on coats

3. Find how much Hana spent on clothes. Since she spent $53.18 on pants and $49 on coats, we would have to add 53.18 and 49. So,

53.18+49=102.18

Hanna spent $102.18 on clothes

4. Find how much Hana "spent" after using the coupon. Since the problem says the coupon helps Hana save $10, we need to subtract 10 from 102.18(the total amount of money Hana spent on clothes before using the coupon). So,

102.18-10=92.18

Hanna "spent" $92.18 on clothes after using the coupon

5. Find how much was the total purchase. Sales Tax is the amount of money that needs to be added to the price. Since the price is $92.18 and the sales tax is $7.84, we need to add 7.84 to 92.18. So,

7.84+92.18=100.02

The total purchase is $100.02

A line of best fit predicts that when x equals 29, y will equal 32.75, but y actually equals 32. What is the residual in this case

Answers

Answer:

The residual is 0.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that the residual is the VERTICAL distance between the y-value of the  data point and the y-value of the predicted line. This distance can be calculated using the absolute value of the difference between these y-values.

Therefore, in our case the residual is: |32 - 32.75| = |-0.75| = 0.75

What does b stand for 11.3 > b/4.3

Answers

Answer:

b = 45.69

Step-by-step explanation:

5 x 5 = 25

25 x 2 & and a half = 45.69

In the inequality expression "11.3 > b/4.3," the variable "b" represents an unknown numerical value.

In the inequality 11.3 > b/4.3, b is the variable.

The inequality is stating that 11.3 is greater than the result of dividing "b" by 4.3.

The purpose of the inequality is to compare the value of 11.3 with the value of "b/4.3" and determine if 11.3 is greater or not.

The variable "b" can take any value that satisfies the inequality.

Hence, in the inequality b stands for unknown value or variable.
