A Food Marketing Institute found that 34% of households spend more than $125 a week on groceries. Assume the population proportion is 0.34 and a simple random sample of 124 households is selected from the population. What is the probability that the sample proportion of households spending more than $125 a week is less than 0.31

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

0.2405 = 24.05% probability that the sample proportion of households spending more than $125 a week is less than 0.31.

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.

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean [tex]\mu = p[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}[/tex]

Assume the population proportion is 0.34 and a simple random sample of 124 households is selected from the population.

This means that [tex]p = 0.34, n = 124[/tex]

Mean and standard deviation:

[tex]\mu = p = 0.34[/tex]

[tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{0.34*0.66}{124}} = 0.0425[/tex]

What is the probability that the sample proportion of households spending more than $125 a week is less than 0.31?

This is the p-value of Z when X = 0.31, so:

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

[tex]Z = \frac{0.31 - 0.34}{0.0425}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.705[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.705[/tex] has a p-value of 0.2405.

0.2405 = 24.05% probability that the sample proportion of households spending more than $125 a week is less than 0.31.

At a time hours after taking a tablet, the rate at which a drug is being eliminated r(t)= 50 (e^-01t - e^-0.20t)is mg/hr. Assuming that all the drug is eventually eliminated, calculate the original dose.

Answers

Answer:

2500 mg

Step-by-step explanation:

Since r(t) is the rate at which the drug is being eliminated, we integrate r(t) with t from 0 to ∞ to find the original dose of drug, m. Since all of the drug will be eliminated at time t = ∞.

Since r(t) =  50 (e^-01t - e^-0.20t)

m = ∫₀⁰⁰50 (e^-01t - e^-0.20t)

= 50∫₀⁰⁰(e^-01t - e^-0.20t)

= 50[∫₀⁰⁰e^-01t - ∫₀⁰⁰e^-0.20t]

= 50([e^-01t/-0.01]₀⁰⁰ - [e^-0.20t/-0.02]₀⁰⁰)

= 50(1/-0.01[e^-01(∞) - e^-01(0)] - {1/-0.02[e^-0.02(∞) - e^-0.02(0)]})

= 50(1/-0.01[e^-(∞) - e^-(0)] - {1/-0.02[e^-(∞) - e^-(0)]})

= 50(1/-0.01[0 - 1] - {1/-0.02[0 - 1]})

= 50(1/-0.01[- 1] - {1/-0.02[- 1]})

= 50(1/0.01 - 1/0.02)

= 50(100 - 50)

In Waterville, the average daily rainfall in July is 10 mm with a standard deviation of 1.5 mm. Assume that this data is normally distributed. How many days in July would you expect the daily rainfall to be more than 11.5 mm

Answers

Answer:

You should expect 5 days in July with daily rainfall of more than 11.5 mm.

Step-by-step explanation:

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.

In Waterville, the average daily rainfall in July is 10 mm with a standard deviation of 1.5 mm.

This means that [tex]\mu = 10, \sigma = 1.5[/tex]

Proportion of days with the daily rainfall above 11.5 mm.

1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 11.5. So

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

[tex]Z = \frac{11.5 - 10}{1.5}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1[/tex] has a p-value of 0.84.

1 - 0.84 = 0.16.

How many days in July would you expect the daily rainfall to be more than 11.5 mm?

July has 31 days, so this is 0.16 of 31.

0.16*31 = 4.96, rounding to the nearest whole number, 5.

You should expect 5 days in July with daily rainfall of more than 11.5 mm.

The profit earned by a hot dog stand is a linear function of the number of hot dogs sold.

Answers

Answer:

c. y=2x−48

Explanation:

It is telling us that it costs $48 each morning to buy the day's supply of hot dogs, so we must subtract that from our pay, and it will be our y intercept

It also says he earns $2 per hot dog, so that will be our slope (rate of change)

Hope it helps! :]

y = 2x - 48 equation represents the profit earned by the x hot dog sold.

What is linear equation?

A linear equation is an algebraic expression in which highest power of the given variable is equals to one.

Given that, the profit earned by a hot dog stand is a linear function of the number of hot dogs sold.

It costs the owner $48 dollars each morning for the day’s supply of hot dogs, buns and mustard, but he earns $2 profit for each hot dog sold.

We need to establish an equation that represents the total profit,

According to the question,

x represents the number of hot dogs sold

y represents the total profit earned

Cost required for supply = $48

Profit on each hot dog sold = $2

As per the condition given, the required linear equation is =

y = 2x - 48

Hence, y = 2x - 48 equation represents the profit earned by the x hot dog sold.

Use the discriminant to determine the number of solutions to the quadratic equation −40m2+10m−1=0

Answers

From the analysis of the discriminant, you obtain that the quadratic function has no real solutions.

In first place, you must know that the roots or solutions of a quadratic function are those values ​​of x for which the expression is 0. This is the values ​​of x such that y = 0. That is, f (x) = 0.

Being the quadratic function f (x)=a*x² + b*x + c, then the solution must be when: 0 =a*x² + b*x + c

The solutions of a quadratic equation can be calculated with the quadratic formula:

[tex]Solutions=\frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^{2} -4*a*c} }{2*a}[/tex]

The discriminant is the part of the quadratic formula under the square root, that is, b² - 4*a*c

The discriminant can be positive, zero or negative and this determines how many solutions (or roots) there are for the given quadratic equation.

If the discriminant:

is positive: the quadratic function has two different real solutions. equal to zero: the quadratic function has a real solution. is negative: none of the solutions are real numbers. That is, it has no real solutions.

In this case, a= -40, b=10 and c= -1. Then, replacing in the discriminant expression:

discriminant= 10² -4*(-40)*(-1)

Solving:

discriminant= 100 - 160

discriminant= -60

The discriminant is negative, so the quadratic function has no real solutions.

find the sum 38+39+40+41...+114+115

Answers

It seems like you want to find the sum of 38 to 115:

[tex] \displaystyle \large{38 + 39 + 40 + 41 + ... + 114 + 115}[/tex]

If we notice, this is arithmetic series or the sum of arithmetic sequences.

To find the sum of the sequences, there are three types of formulas but I will demonstrate only one and the best for this problem.

[tex] \displaystyle \large{S_n = \frac{n(a_1+a_n) }{2} }[/tex]

This formula only applies to the sequences that have the common difference = 1.

Given that a1 = first term of sequence/series, n = number of terms and a_n = last term

We know the first term which is 38 and the last term is 115. The problem here is the number of sequences.

To find the n, you can use the following formula.

[tex] \displaystyle \large{n = (a_n - a_1) + 1}[/tex]

Substitute an = 115 and a1 = 38 in the formula of finding n.

[tex] \displaystyle \large{n = (115 - 38) + 1} \\ \displaystyle \large{n = (77) + 1} \\ \displaystyle \large{n = 78}[/tex]

Therefore the number of sequences is 78.

Then we substitute an = 115, a1 = 38 and n = 78 in the sum formula.

[tex] \displaystyle \large{S_{78} = \frac{78(38+115) }{2} } \\ \displaystyle \large{S_{78} = \frac{39(38+115) }{1} } \\ \displaystyle \large{S_{78} = 39(153) } \\ \displaystyle \large \boxed{S_{78} = 5967}[/tex]

Hence, the sum is 5967.

The difference between two positive integers is 7 and the sum of their squares is 949. What are the numbers?

Answers

Answer:

25 and 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say that the first number is x and the second one is y.

First, the difference between them is 7, so x-y=7

Next, the sum of their squares is 949, so x²+y² = 949

We have

x-y=7

x²+y²=949

One thing we can do to solve this problem is to solve for x in the first equation, plug that into the second equation, and go from there

Adding y to both sides in the first equation, we have

x = 7 + y

Plugging that into the second equation for x, we have

(7+y)²+ y² = 949

expand

(7+y)(7+y) + y² = 949

49 + y² + 7y + 7y + y² = 949

combine like terms

2y² +14y + 49 = 949

subtract 949 from both sides to put this in the form of a quadratic equation

2y² + 14y - 900 = 0

divide both sides by 2

y² + 7y - 450 = 0

To factor this, we want to find 2 numbers that add up to 7 and multiply to -450.

The factors of 450 are as follows:

1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, 15, 18, 25, 30, 45, 50, 75, 90, 150, 225, and 450.

Note that we want to find two numbers with a difference of 7, as one will have to be negative for the multiplication to end up at -450. Two numbers that stand out are 18 and 25. To make them add up to 7, 18 can be negative. We therefore have

y² + 25y - 18y - 450 = 0

y(y+25) - 18(y+25) = 0

(y-18)(y+25) = 0

Solving for 0,

y-18 = 0

add 18 to both sides

y=18

y+25 = 0

subtract 25 from both sides

y= -25

As the question states "two positive integers", this means that y must be positive, so y = 18. We know x-y=7, so

x-18 = 7

add 18 to both sides to isolate x

x = 25
