Engineers are designing a large elevator that will accommodate 44 people. The maximum weight the elevator can hold safely is 8228 pounds. According to the National Health Statistics Reports, the weights of adult U.S. men have mean 186 pounds and standard deviation 60 pounds, and the weights of adult U.S. women have mean 157 pounds and standard deviation 69 pounds.
a. If 44 people are on the elevator, and their total weight is 8228 pounds, what is their average weight?
b. If a random sample of 44 adult men ride the elevator, what is the probability that the maximum safe weight will be exceeded?
c. If a random sample of 44 adult women ride the elevator, what is the probability that the maximum safe weight will be exceeded?
Answer:
a) Their average weight is of 187 pounds.
b) 0.4562 = 45.62% probability that the maximum safe weight will be exceeded.
c) 0.002 = 0.2% probability that the maximum safe weight will be exceeded
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 z-score 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 p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
Central Limit Theorem
The Central Limit Theorem establishes 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.
a. If 44 people are on the elevator, and their total weight is 8228 pounds, what is their average weight?
8228/44 = 187
Their average weight is of 187 pounds.
b. If a random sample of 44 adult men ride the elevator, what is the probability that the maximum safe weight will be exceeded?
For men, we have that [tex]\mu = 186, \sigma = 60[/tex]
Sample of 44 means that [tex]n = 44, s = \frac{60}{\sqrt{44}}[/tex]
This probability is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 187. So
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
By the Central Limit Theorem
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{187 - 186}{\frac{60}{\sqrt{44}}}[/tex]
[tex]Z = 0.11[/tex]
[tex]Z = 0.11[/tex] has a p-value of 0.5438.
1 - 0.5438 = 0.4562
0.4562 = 45.62% probability that the maximum safe weight will be exceeded.
c. If a random sample of 44 adult women ride the elevator, what is the probability that the maximum safe weight will be exceeded?
For women, we have that [tex]\mu = 157, \sigma = 69[/tex]
Sample of 44 means that [tex]n = 44, s = \frac{69}{\sqrt{44}}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{187 - 157}{\frac{69}{\sqrt{44}}}[/tex]
[tex]Z = 2.88[/tex]
[tex]Z = 2.88[/tex] has a p-value of 0.998.
1 - 0.998 = 0.002.
0.002 = 0.2% probability that the maximum safe weight will be exceeded

You are interested in finding a 95% confidence interval for the average commute that non-residential students have to their college. The data below show the number of commute miles for 12 randomly selected non-residential college students. Round answers to 3 decimal places where possible.
Answer:
(11.847 ; 15.813)
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given 12 samples which are :
8, 20, 20, 11, 18, 12, 6, 5, 7, 22, 12, 25
We use a T-distribution to find the confidence interval since the sample size. is small, n < 30
Using a calculator :
The sample mean, xbar = 13.83
Sample standard deviation, s = 6.87
The confidence interval, C.I
C.I = xbar ± Tcritical * s/√n)
Tcritical at 95%, df = n - 1, 12 - 1 = 11
Tcritical(0.05, 11) = 2.20
Hence,
C.I = 13.83 ± 2.20(6.87/√12)
C.I = 13.83 ± 1.9831981
C. I = (13.83 - 1.983 ; 13.83 + 1.983)
C. I = (11.847 ; 15.813)

The terms in the given sequence represents an arithmetic sequence.
What is Arithmetic Sequence?Arithmetic sequence is a sequence of numbers where the numbers are arranged ion a definite order such that the difference of two consecutive numbers is a constant. This constant of difference is called common difference which is commonly denoted by the letter 'd'.
Given sequence of numbers is,
-8, -4, 0, 4, 8, 12, ......
We have to find which sequence does it represent.
This is not a series since they are not represented as the sum.
If the sequence is a geometric sequence, then the ratio of consecutive numbers will be same.
If it is arithmetic sequence, then the difference of consecutive numbers will be same.
Here, ratio is not same.
Difference are same.
-4 - -8 = 4, 0 - -4 = 4, 4 - 0 = 4, 8 - 4 = 4, ........
Common difference is 4.
Hence it is an arithmetic sequence.

The director of research and development is testing a new medicine. She wants to know if there is evidence at the 0.02 level that the medicine relieves pain in more than 384 seconds. For a sample of 41 patients, the mean time in which the medicine relieved pain was 387 seconds. Assume the population standard deviation is 23. Find the P-value of the test statistic.
Answer:
The p-value of the test statistic is 0.2019.
Step-by-step explanation:
Test if there is evidence at the 0.02 level that the medicine relieves pain in more than 384 seconds.
At the null hypothesis, we test if it relieves pain in at most 384 seconds, that is:
[tex]H_0: \mu \leq 384[/tex]
At the alternative hypothesis, we test if it relieves pain in more than 384 seconds, that is:
[tex]H_1: \mu > 384[/tex]
The test statistic is:
[tex]z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]
In which X is the sample mean, [tex]\mu[/tex] is the value tested at the null hypothesis, [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.
384 is tested at the null hypothesis:
This means that [tex]\mu = 384[/tex]
For a sample of 41 patients, the mean time in which the medicine relieved pain was 387 seconds. Assume the population standard deviation is 23.
This means that [tex]n = 41, X = 387, \sigma = 23[/tex]
Value of the test statistic:
[tex]z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]
[tex]z = \frac{387 - 384}{\frac{23}{\sqrt{41}}}[/tex]
[tex]z = 0.835[/tex]
P-value of the test:
The p-value of the test is the probability of finding a sample mean above 387, which is 1 subtracted by the p-value of z = 0.835.
Looking at the z-table, z = 0.835 has a p-value of 0.7981.
1 - 0.7981 = 0.2019
The p-value of the test statistic is 0.2019.
A television stand at Wiles' Discount Mart is $187, and the sales tax is 6%. What is the amount of tax to be paid for the TV?
Answer:
$11.22
Step-by-step explanation:
100% = 187
1% = 187/100 = $1.87
6% = 1%×6 = 1.87×6 = $11.22
Answer:
In this case, you need to calculate the 6% of the price, which is 187 $.
We only need to multiply the price (187) by the percentage (6%):
187 * 0.06 = 11.22
So the tax would be $11.22

a soft drink vendor at a popular beach analyzes his sales recods and finds that if he sells x cans of soda pop in one day, his profit (in dollars) is given by
Complete Question:
A soft-drink vendor at a popular beach analyzes his sales records, and finds that if he sells x cans of soda pop in one day, his profit (in dollars) is given by P(x) = -0.001x² + 3x - 1800.
a. What is his maximum profit per day?
b. How many cans must be sold in order to obtain the maximum profit?
Answer:
a. $450
b. 1500 cans
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following quadratic function;
P(x) = -0.001x² + 3x - 1800 ......equation 1
a. To find his maximum profit per day;
Since P(x) is a quadratic equation, P(x) would be maximum when [tex] x = \frac {-b}{2a} [/tex]
Note : the standard form of a quadratic equation is ax² + bx + c = 0 ......equation 2
Comparing eqn 1 and eqn 2, we have;
a = -0.001, b = 3 and c = -1800
Now, we determine the maximum profit;
[tex] x = \frac {-b}{2a} [/tex]
Substituting the values, we have;
[tex] x = \frac {-3}{2*(-0.001)} [/tex]
Cancelling out the negative signs, we have;
[tex] x = \frac {3}{2*0.001} [/tex]
[tex] x = \frac {3}{0.002} [/tex]
x at maximum = 1500
Substituting the value of "x" into equation 1;
P(1500) = -0.001 * 1500² + 3(1500) - 1800
P(1500) = -0.001 * 2250000 + 4500 - 1800
P(1500) = -2250 + 2700
P(1500) = $450
b. Therefore, the soft-drink vendor must sell 1500 cans in order to obtain the maximum profit.

A trough has ends shaped like isosceles triangles, with width 2 m and height 5 m, and the trough is 18 m long. Water is being pumped into the trough at a rate of 8 m3/min. At what rate (in m/min) does the height of the water change when the water is 2 m deep
9514 1404 393
Answer:
5/9 m/min
Step-by-step explanation:
The depth of the water is 2/5 of the depth of the trough, so the width of the surface will be 2/5 of the width of the trough:
2/5 × 2 m = 4/5 m
Then the surface area of the water is ...
A = LW = (18 m)(4/5 m) = 14.4 m²
The rate of change of height multiplied by the area gives the rate of change of volume:
8 m³/min = (14.4 m²)(h')
h' = (8 m³/min)/(14.4 m²) = 5/9 m/min
Matthew Travels 42/50 Meters In 26/30 Minutes. Find The Speed of Mathew In Meters Per Second.
Answer:
Matthew travels 0.0161 meters per second.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that Matthew travels 42/50 meters In 26/30 minutes, to find the speed of Mathew in meters per second the following calculation must be performed:
42/50 = 0.84
26/30 = 0.86
0.86 x 60 = 52
0.84 meters in 52 seconds
0.84 / 52 = 0.01615
Therefore, Matthew travels 0.0161 meters per second.
A university professor asked his class of 42 students when they had studied for his class the previous weekend. There responses were. please answer part a, b and c
ANSWERS:
a) 16 students
b) 25 students
c) 2 students
STEP BY STEP:
There are 42 students in total. This question can be solved by "Principal of Inclusion and Exclusion"
Question a)
The students that studied on Sunday in total with overlaps is 30. To figure out the students that ONLY studied on Sunday you need to first minus the overlaps in the combos:
the combos:
3, 10, 6, 2
Since the last combo included all of the other dates, we need to minus it:
1, 8, 4, 2
Now we can use the total of Sunday and minus the combos that includes Sunday:
30 - (4 + 2 + 8) = 16 students
Question b)
To figure out all the students that only studied on ONE day, not 2 not 3, just one day. We need to figure out the students that studied for Saturday and Friday using the same method before for figuring out Sunday:
Friday: 9 - 4 - 1 -2 = 2 students
Saturday: 18 - 1 - 2- 8 = 7 students
and now add them all together: 2 + 7 + 16 = 25 students
That is the total number of students that studied on one day.
Question c)
Now for the numbers of students that didn't study... We can just use the total to minus everything else!
42 - (25 + 1 + 4 + 8 + 2) = 2 students!!!
And thats all done! If you still don't get it, please ask!

Step 2:
Null hypothesis: H0 u= 4
Population mean: H1 u = 4
Alternate hypothesis: u ≠ 4
Population mean: u ≠ 4
Step 3 and step 4 are attached.
Step 5: Based on the calculation, the calculated value of t is less than the t critical value, therefore, the null hypothesis will be failed to be rejected.
2. Sketch the distributions involved
This has been attached.
3. Explain the logic of what you did to a person who is familiar with hypothesis testing, but knows nothing about t tests of any kind.
The distribution is "t".
The means is tested by using T-test.
Chi-square is used to test the single variance.
