Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Since [tex]n(1-p) = 3.72 < 10[/tex], the normal curve cannot be used as an approximation to the binomial probability.

100% probability that greater than 26 out of 124 software users will call technical support.

Step-by-step explanation:

Test if the normal curve can be used as an approximation to the binomial probability by verifying the necessary conditions.

It is needed that:

[tex]np \geq 10[/tex] and [tex]n(1-p) \geq 10[/tex]

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

And p is the probability of X happening.

Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

[tex]E(X) = np[/tex]

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

[tex]\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}[/tex]

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed 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.

When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that [tex]\mu = E(X)[/tex], [tex]\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}[/tex].

Out of 124 software users

This means that [tex]n = 124[/tex]

Assume the probability that a given software user will call technical support is 97%.

This means that [tex]p = 0.97[/tex]

Conditions:

[tex]np = 124*0.97 = 120.28 \geq 10[/tex]

[tex]n(1-p) = 124*0.03 = 3.72 < 10[/tex]

Since [tex]n(1-p) = 3.72 < 10[/tex], the normal curve cannot be used as an approximation to the binomial probability.

Consider the probability that greater than 26 out of 124 software users will call technical support.

The lowest possible probability of those is 27, so, if it is 0, since it is considerably below the mean, 100% probability of being greater. We have that:

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 27) = C_{124,27}.(0.97)^{27}.(0.03)^{97} = 0[/tex]

1 - 0 = 1

100% probability that greater than 26 out of 124 software users will call technical support.

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. Which equation represents y, the profit earned by the hot dog stand for x hot dogs sold? y=48x−2 y=48x+2 y=2x−48 y=2x+48

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.

Each machine at a certain factory can produce 90 units per hour. The setup cost is 20 dollars for each machine and the operating cost is 26 dollars per hour (total, not 26 dollars per machine per hour). You would like to know how many machines should be used to produce 40000 units, with the goal of minimizing production costs.
First, find a formula for the total cost in terms of the number of machines, n:_______
TC = ______
machines for a total cost of The minimum total cost is achieved when using dollars.

Answers

Answer:

a)  [tex]Total Cost=20n+\frac{(\frac{40000}{90}*26)}{n}[/tex]

b)  [tex]n=24[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Rate r=90 units per hour

Setup cost =20

Operating Cost =26

Units=40000

Generally the equation for Total cost is mathematically given by

[tex]Total Cost=20n+\frac{(\frac{40000}{90}*26)}{n}[/tex]

[tex]T_n=20n+\frac{11556}{n}\\\\T_n=\frac{20n^2+11556}{n}.....equ 1[/tex]

Differentiating

[tex]T_n'=\frac{n(40n)-(40n^2+11556)}{n_2}\\\\T_n'=\frac{20n^2-11556}{n^2}.....equ 2[/tex]

Equating equ 1 to zero

[tex]0=\frac{20n^2+11556}{n}[/tex]

[tex]n=24[/tex]

Therefore

Substituting n

For Equ 1

[tex]T_n=\frac{20(24)^2+11556}{24}[/tex]

F(n)>0  

For Equ 2

[tex]T_n'=\frac{20(24)^2-11556}{24^2}[/tex]

There are nickles and quarters worth $2.20 in total. If there are 28 coins, how many nickels are there?

Answers

Answer:

There are 24 nickels

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of nickels

Let y represent the number of quarters
—————————————————————

Value Value
Type Number of of
of of each all
Coin Coin Coin Coin
—————————————————————
Nickels | x | $0.05 | $0.05x
Quarters | y | $0.25 | $0.25y
—————————————————————
Totals 28 ——— $2.20
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

The first equation comes from the “Number of coins” column.

(Number of nickels) + (Number of quarters) = (total number of coins)

Equation: x + y = 28
—————————————————————
The second equation comes from the “value of all coins” column.

(Value of all nickels) + (Value of all quarters) = (Total value of all coins)

0.05x + 0.25y = 2.20

Remove the decimals by multiplying each term by 100:

5x + 25y = 220
—————————————————————
So we have the system of equations:

{x + y = 28
{5x + 25y = 202

Solve by substitution. Solve the first equation for y:

x + y = 28
y = 28 - x

Substitute (28 - x) for y in 5x + 25y = 220

5x + 25 (28 - x) = 220
5x + 700 - 25x = 220
-20x + 700 = 220
-20x = -480
x = 24

The number of nickels is 24.
————————————————————
Substitute in y = 28 - x
y = 28 - (24)
y = 4

The number of quarters is 4.
————————————————————
Checking:

24 nickels is $1.20 and 4 quarters is $1.00
That’s 28 coins.
Indeed $1.20 + $1.00 = $2.20

When Asia was young, her father marked her height on the door frame every month. He noticed that between the ages of one and three, he could predict her height (in inches) by taking her age in months, adding 75 inches, and multiplying the result by one-third.

Create an equation linking her predicted height, h, with her age in months, m, and solve to find when her height will be 30 inches.

Answers

Answer:

15 months old.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let m = months and h = height:

h = 1/3(m + 75) ⇔ h = 1/3m + 25

Let h = 30:

[tex]30=\frac{1}{3}m+25\\5=\frac{1}{3}m\\15=m[/tex]

Therefore, when Asia is 30 inches tall, she will be 15 months old.

Identify the two variables in the problem by completing the following statements: * Let r represent: Let y represent:​

Answers

Answer:

Let r = amount of the 7% solution

y represent the amount of the 15 percent solution

r =7.5 L

y = 12.5 L

Step-by-step explanation:

Let r = amount of the 7% solution

y represent the amount of the 15 percent solution

.07r + .15 y = (r+y) .12

r+y = 20

y = 20-r

.07r + .15 (20-r) = (20) .12

0.07r+0.15(20-r)=2.4

.07r+ 3 - .15r = 2.4

-.08r = 2.4-3

-.08r = -.6

Divide by-.08

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.
