A sample of the salaries of assistant professors on the business faculty at a local university revealed a mean income of $100,000 with a standard deviation of $10,000. Assume that salaries follow a bell-shaped distribution. Use the empirical rule:
a. Approximately what percentage of the salaries fall between $90,000 and $110,000?
b. Approximately what percentage of the salaries fall between $80,000 and $120,000?
c. Approximately what percentage of the salaries are greater than $120,000?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) 68%

b) 95%.

c) 2.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

Approximately 68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

Approximately 95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean.

Approximately 99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

In this problem, we have that:

Mean of 100,000, standard deviation of 10,000.

a. Approximately what percentage of the salaries fall between $90,000 and $110,000?

90,000 = 100,000 - 10,000

110,000 = 100,000 + 10,000

Within 1 standard deviation of the mean, so approximately 68%.

b. Approximately what percentage of the salaries fall between $80,000 and $120,000?

80,000 = 100,000 - 2*10,000

120,000 = 100,000 + 2*10,000

Within 2 standard deviations of the mean, so approximately 95%.

c. Approximately what percentage of the salaries are greater than $120,000?

More than 2 standard deviations above the mean.

Approximately 95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean, so approximately 5% are more than 2 standard deviations from the mean.

The normal distribution is symmetric, which means that 2.5% are more then 2 standard deviations below the mean, and 2.5% are more than 2 standard deviations above the mean, which means that 2.5% of the salaries are greater than $120,000.

Answers

Answer:

0.4494

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

marks number of students

20-29 8

30-39 12

40-49 20

50-59 7

60-69 3​

The range Coefficient is obtained thus :

Range Coefficient = (Xm - Xl) / (Xm + Xl)

Where ;

Xm = Mid value of highest class = (60+69)/2 = 64.5

Xl = Mid value of lowest class = (20+29)/2 = 24.5

Range Coefficient = (64.5 - 24.5) / (64.5 + 24.5)

Range Coefficient = 40 / 89 = 0.4494

What is a 96% confidence interval for the difference in proportions (proportion of boys minus proportion of girls)?
(a) Calculate a 95% confidence interval for the difference in proportions (proportion of boys minus proportion of girls)?
(b) Interpret your interval calculated above.

Answers

Answer:

CI 96 %  =  ( - 0.1128  ; 0.0728 )

CI 95%  =  ( - 0.1087 ; 0.6878 )

The two intervals contain 0 value therefore we can support that there is not statistics difference between the two groups with confidence level of 96 % and  95%

Step-by-step explanation:

Boys sample:

sample size   n₁  = 200

x₁  number of boys saying their parents are very involved in their lives

=  93

p₁ = x₁/n₁   =  93/200  =  0.465  then  q₁ =  1  -  p₁   q₁ = 1 - 0.465  q₁ = 0.535

Girls sample

sample size   n₂  = 300

x₂  number of girls saying their parents are very involved in their lives

=  172

p₂  =  x₂/n₂  =  172/ 300  =  0.573 then  q₂ = 1 -0.573  q₂ =  0.427

CI 96 %      α = 4 %  α = 0.04    α/2 = 0.02  

p₁  -  p₂  =  0.465 -  0.573  = - 0.168

CI 96 %   =  (  p₁  -  p₂ ) ±  z(c) * SE

z(c)  for  α  =  0.02       z(c)  =  - 2.05

SE = √ (p₁*q₁)/n₁  +  (p₂*q₂)/n₂

SE = √ ( 0.465*0.535)/200  +  (0.573*0.427)/300

SE =  √  0.00124  +  0.000815    

SE =  √  0.00205

SE =   0.0453

CI 96 %  =  (  -0.02  ±  ( 2.05 * 0.0453 ) )

CI 96 %  =  (  -0.02  ±  ( 0.0928 ))

CI 96 %  =  ( - 0.1128  ; 0.0728 )

a) CI 95%  α =  5 %   α = 0.05     α/2 =  0.025

SE = 0.0453

z(c) for  0.025 is from z-table   z(c)  =  1.96

CI 95%  =  ( - 0.02 ±  1.96 * 0.0453)

CI 95%  =  ( - 0.02 ± 0.08878 )

CI 95%  =  ( - 0.1087 ; 0.6878 )

The club will use the majority criterion method to determine the final winner. However, while finalizing the votes, a member of the club discovers that Mason did not meet the original criteria to be considered for the vacation package, because he is a county deputy, not a city police person, so Mason is eliminated from the votes. Who actually will win the tickets? Is the irrelevant alternative criterion supported in this case?

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The irrelevant alternative criterion states that if two candidates A and B contest for an election and candidate B is preferred to candidate A then any other candidate X should not cause candidate A to win the election.

In this case if Mason was candidate A, then candidate B should still win by the majority criterion method and the irrelevant alternative criterion would still be supported. However if he is candidate B then the irrelevant alternative criterion is not supported.

Step-by-step explanation:

Z-score:

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.

Andy 70578 60000 8200

This means that [tex]X = 70578, \mu = 60000, \sigma = 8200[/tex]

What is the z-score of Andy's salary?

This is Z, so:

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

[tex]Z = \frac{70578 - 60000}{8200}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.29[/tex]

A ball is thrown into the air with an upward velocity of 24 ft/s. Its height h in feet after t seconds is given by the function h = –16t2 + 24t + 7. a. In how many seconds does the ball reach its maximum height? Round to the nearest hundredth if necessary. b. What is the ball’s maximum height?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since you have this categorized under college math, I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume you're in calculus. We will solve using the position function and its first derivative (velocity) to solve. Remember that at an object's max height, the velocity is 0.

If the position function is

[tex]s(t)=-16t^2+24t+7[/tex] the first derivative, velocity, is

v(t) = -32t + 24. Set this equal to 0 to find the time when the object is at its max height:

0 = -32t + 24 and

-24 = -32t so

t = .75 seconds. Now we can plug that time into the position function to find where it is at that time. This "where" will be the max height:

s(.75) = [tex]-16(.75)^2+24(.75)+7[/tex] so

s(.75) = 16 feet

The polynomial 3x² + mx? - nx - 10 has a factor of (x - 1). When divided by x + 2, the remainder is 36. What are
the values of m and n?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]m = 12[/tex]

[tex]n =3[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]P(x) = x^3 + mx^2 - nx - 10[/tex]

Required

The values of m and n

For x - 1;

we have:

[tex]x - 1 = 0[/tex]

[tex]x=1[/tex]

So:

[tex]P(1) = (1)^3 + m*(1)^2 - n*(1) - 10[/tex]

[tex]P(1) = 1 + m*1 - n*1 - 10[/tex]

[tex]P(1) = 1 + m - n - 10[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]P(1) = m - n + 1 - 10[/tex]

[tex]P(1) = m - n -9[/tex]

Because x - 1 divides the polynomial, then P(1) = 0;

So, we have:

[tex]m - n -9 = 0[/tex]

Add 9 to both sides

[tex]m - n = 9[/tex] --- (1)

For x + 2;

we have:

[tex]x + 2 = 0[/tex]

[tex]x = -2[/tex]

So:

[tex]P(-2) = (-2)^3 + m*(-2)^2 - n*(-2) - 10[/tex]

[tex]P(-2) = -8 + 4m + 2n - 10[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]P(-2) = 4m + 2n - 10 - 8[/tex]

[tex]P(-2) = 4m + 2n - 18[/tex]

x + 2 leaves a remainder of 36, means that P(-2) = 36;

So, we have:

[tex]4m + 2n - 18 = 36[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]4m + 2n = 36+18[/tex]

[tex]4m + 2n = 54[/tex]

Divide through by 2

[tex]2m + n=27[/tex] --- (2)

Add (1) and (2)

[tex]m + 2m - n + n = 9 +27[/tex]

[tex]3m =36[/tex]

Divide by 3

[tex]m = 12[/tex]

Substitute [tex]m = 12[/tex] in (1)

[tex]m - n =9[/tex]

Make n the subject

[tex]n = m - 9[/tex]

[tex]n = 12 - 9[/tex]

[tex]n =3[/tex]

B. How many cans of cola would be too much and at the dangerous level? You know that cola contains 4.20 mg per ounce and a soft drink can contain 12.0 oz.

Answers

Answer:

A) Hence, the number of coffee cups that are risky = 17.4 Cups.

B) Here, the number of coffee cups that are risky = 59.5 Colas.

Step-by-step explanation:

A)

In 1 cup coffee  =[tex]8\times21.5mg= 172.0 mg[/tex]

Hence one cup of coffee contains 172 mg of caffeine. The risky level is 3000mg.

Therefore, the number of coffee cups that are risky

                                                         [tex]= 3000/172\\ \\=17.4 cups[/tex]

Here, the number of coffee cups that are risky = 17.4 cups.

B)

[tex]1 cola=12\times4.2mg\\\\ = 50.4mg / day[/tex]

Hence, one can cola contains 50.4 mg of caffeine.

The dangerous level is 3000 mg.

Therefore, the number of cola cans that are risky [tex]=3000/50.4= 59.5[/tex] cola is risky.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A). Volume of a rectangular prism = Length × Width × Height

                                                        = lwh

1). Volume of a rectangular prism if the measures of the sides are,

    Length (l) = 9 cm

    Width (w) = 4 cm                                              

    Height (h) = 3 cm                                            

    Therefore, volume = lwh

                                   = 9 × 4 × 3

                                   = 108 cm³

2). Length = 10 cm

     Width = 7 cm

     Height = 15 cm

     Volume = lwh

                   = 10 × 7 × 15

                   = 1050 cm³

3). Length = 14 cm

    Width = 10 cm

    Height = 9 cm

    Volume = 14 × 10 × 9

                  = 1260 cm³

B. Volume of a cube = (Side)³

4). If the measure of one side = 12 cm

    Volume of the cube = (12)³

                                      = 1728 cm³

5). If the measure of one side = 6 cm

   Volume of the cube = (6)³

                                     = 216 cm³
