A manager of a grocery store wants to determine if consumers are spending
more than the national average of $150 with a standard deviation of $30. The
manager collects 10 random receipts and finds that the average customer
spends $160. He then concludes that his customers do spend more than the
national average. a) What do you see as his error in this assumption? b) How
could you redesign the study to correct it?*

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1. The error in the assumption is taking the sample mean, [tex]\bar x[/tex], as being equal to the population mean, μ

2. To correct the error, the manager will need to generate the confidence interval based on the population standard deviation on the acceptable values of the mean using the following relation;

[tex]CI=\bar{x}\pm z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We note that from the central limit theorem as the size of the sample, n, becomes more and more larger, the mean of the sample, [tex]\bar x[/tex], approaches that of the population mean, μ, therefore as the grocery store manager uses the sample mean as the population mean's point estimate an error will be observed based on the size of the sample compared to the population, where the difference between the two means (the population mean and the sample mean) is [tex]\left | \bar{x} - \mu \right |[/tex]

1. The error in the assumption is taking the sample mean, [tex]\bar x[/tex], as being equal to the population mean, μ

2. To correct the error, the manager will need to generate the confidence interval based on the population standard deviation on the acceptable values of the mean using the following relation;

[tex]CI=\bar{x}\pm z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

Where:

σ = Population standard deviation = $30

z = z value at 95% confidence level = 1.96

[tex]\bar x[/tex] = Sample mean $160

n = Sample size = 10

Plugging in the values, we have;

$141.4 < [tex]\bar x[/tex] < $178.6

Hence the expected value of the mean should be between $141.4 and $178.6.

Two different sports teams are doing fundraising to be able to afford their uniforms. The softball team needs to raise $318.12 between the twelve girls on the team. The hockey team needs to raise $391.92 between the 24 boys on the team. If each player raises the same amount of money, does each softball player or hockey player need to raise more? How can estimation help you solve?

Answers

Answer: A softball player will need to raise more.

Step-by-step explanation:

The softball team needs to raise $318.12 among the twelve girls on the team. Each softball player needs to raise:

$318.12 ÷ 12 = $26.51

The hockey team needs to raise $391.92 among the 24 boys on the team. Each hockey player will raise:

$391.92 ÷ 24 = $16.33

A softball player will raise $26.51 while a hockey player will raise $16.33. Therefore, a softball player will need to raise more.

What is the shape of the graph of the function?
h(t) = 0.32 - 0.5t

Answers

Its pretty obvious since the other answer has 1 star, but its B. I got it right on khan academy:)

The correct statement is option A)

What are functions?

Function, in mathematics, is an expression, rule, or law that defines a relationship between one variable (the independent variable) and another variable (the dependent variable).

Given here: The graph of the function h(t)=0.32-[tex]0.5^t[/tex]

which can be re written as h(t)=  [tex]\frac{8}{25}[/tex] - [tex]\frac{1}{2} ^t[/tex]

Thus clearly as the value of t increases or as we move from negative to positive values the graph of the function tends towards zero and is negative for negative values of t.

For instance, at t= -4 we have

8/25 - 16=15.68

and at t=4 we have

8/25 - 1/16 =0.2575

And it intercepts the x-axis at (1.644,0)

Clearly h(t) is smaller for negative values of t and higher for higher values of t and thus has a upward curvature when we input the values from left to right.

Hence, The curve should slowly bend towards x-axis and option A is the correct answer because the graph is higher values for higher values of t.

Step-by-step explanation:

180-118=42 so angle c=42

add 42 +76 =138

in a triangle all degrees ad up to 180 so

subtract 138 from 180=42

Answer:

B) 42 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

If we're looking for the measure of angle E, we need to know the measures of angles D and C too. (Otherwise we just have nothing to work with.)

So they already give us angle D's measurement, which is 76; we just have to find the smaller angle at C and then solve for E. If this doesn't make sense, just look at C; there's a big angle (118) and a small one that we don't know. We have to find the small one.

Well at C there's just a straight line, so we can assume that the big angle and the small angle add up to 180 degrees, because straight angles are always 180 degrees.

Now to get the small angle, we can take 118 away from 180 to get 62, which will be the measure of the smaller angle. (Comment if you don't know why I did this.)

Now that we know two out of three measures in the triangle, we can find the measure of angle E. All triangles' angles add up to 180 degrees, so we can take away 76 (measure of D) and 62 (measure of small C) from 180 to get the measure of E: 180 - 76 - 62 = 42

So the measure of angle E is 42.

As 2x³ - 3x² + x is completely divisible by x - 1 it is a factor of the polynomial.

What is a factor of a polynomial?

We know that if x = a is one of the roots of a given polynomial x - a = 0 is a factor of the given polynomial.

To confirm if x - a = 0 is a factor of a polynomial we replace f(x) with f(a) and if the remainder is zero then it is confirmed that x - a = 0 is a factor.

Given a polynomial 2x³ - 3x² + x which is being divided by x - 1.

Now, If 2x³ - 3x² + x is divisible by x - 1 then x = 1 is a root of the polynomial

2x³ - 3x² + x.

Therefore,

2(1)³ - 3(1)² + 1 = 0

2 - 3 + 1 = 0.

3 - 3 = 0.

0 = 0.

Base on my own understanding what should be done is that three stacks will not work, because it wont be a symmetric arrangement and also one will be left out. So, two stacks of five each would be better and easy to carry. But the stacks should be arranged in such a manner that the lengths will be parallel to each other and not in-line which would increase the length making it comparatively very long. its easier to hold a (2*8.5,11,2*5=17,11,17) compact box, because it will be easy to carry a long and not heavy.

Answer: N= 135, M=45.

Step-by-step explanation:The formula to find the degree inside of a shape is: (n-2)180. This is an octagon, so it has 8 sides, plug this in for n.

8-2 * 180

1080                              divide by 8 to get the value of n

n=135

The formula for an angle outside of the shape is:

360/n   n is still eight, so plug this in for n

360/8

m=45

Answer:

n = 135 degrees ( ° ) ,

m = 45 degrees ( ° )

Step-by-step explanation:

* Sorry I didn't answer this before *

1. In this figure we can see that this visual is a representation of an octagon, provided it's 8 sides.

2. Knowing this, let us split this figure into triangle 180 degrees each ⇒ compute the total interior angles in degrees.

3. If you were to draw lines from one vertex to any other non-adjacent vertices, it would be that 6 triangles are formed.

4. One triangle ⇒ 180 degrees ( ° ) so that this octagon ⇒ 180° * number of triangles, or ⇒ 180 * 6 = 1080°

5. Knowing that this shape is a regular polygon, all angles are congruent such that if x represents one interior angle ⇒ 8x = 1080, ⇒ x = 135°. As n acts as one of the interior angles in this figure ⇒ n = 135 degrees ( ° )

6. Now through supplementary angles, the interior angle adjacent to angle m would form a linear pair, adding to 180°.

7. This would mean that m + interior angle = 180, and as all interior angles were found to be 135 degrees ⇒ m + 132 = 180 ⇒ m = 45 degrees ( ° )
