Engineers are designing a large elevator that will accommodate 58 people. The maximum weight the elevator can hold safely is pounds. According to the National Health Statistics Reports, the weights of adult U.S. men have mean pounds and standard deviation pounds, and the weights of adult U.S. women have mean pounds and standard deviation pounds. Use the TI-84 Plus calculator.

Required:
a. If 58 people are on the elevator, and their total weight is 11,716 pounds, what is their average weight?
b. If a random sample of 58 adult men ride the elevator, what is the probability that the maximum safe weight will be exceeded?

Answers

Answer 1

Complete question is;

Engineers are designing a large elevator that will accommodate 58 people. The maximum weight the elevator can hold safely is 11,716 pounds. According to the National Health Statistics Reports, the weights of adult U.S. men have mean 190 pounds and standard deviation 62 pounds, and the weights of adult U.S. women have mean 184 pounds and standard deviation 71 pounds. Use the TI-84 Plus calculator.

Required:

a. If 58 people are on the elevator, and their total weight is 11,716 pounds, what is their average weight?

b. If a random sample of 58 adult men ride the elevator, what is the probability that the maximum safe weight will be exceeded?

Answer:

A) average weight = 202 pounds

B) the probability that the maximum safe weight will be exceeded = 42.47%

Step-by-step explanation:

A) We are told that 58 people are on the elevator and that their total weight is 11,716 pounds. Thus;

Average weight = total weight/number of people = 11716/58 = 202 pounds

B) We will use z-score formula in this;

z = (x¯ - μ)/σ

Now, in part a above, we saw that the average weight is 202 pounds. Thus; x¯ = 202 pounds

We are told that standard deviation for men is;

σ = 62 pounds

We are told that the weights of adult U.S. men have mean 190 pounds . Thus; μ = 190

Thus;

z = (202 - 190)/62

z = 0.19

From z-distribution table, p-value = 0.57535

Thus;

P(z > 0.19) = 1 - 0.57535 = 0.42465

Thus, the probability that the maximum safe weight will be exceeded = 0.42465 ≈ 42.47%

What is the probability of drawing yellow marble followed by a red marble from a bag containing 12 yellow marbles, 14 red marbles, and 15 green marbles if the first marble is not replaced?

a. 192/1,849
b. 18/43
c. 21/205

Answers

Answer:

c: 21/205

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of choosing a yellow marble first is 12/41 bc there are 12 yellow marbles and 41 marbles to choose from.

The probability of choosing a red marble is 14/40 bc there are 14 red marbles and 40 marbles to choose from( since you have removed the marble you first chose so there are 40 marbles left).

Multiplying these two together, 12/41 * 14/40 = 168/1640, simplified it's 21/205.

The base is the line with whom the perpendicular has 90° angle -> PR = 12cm

Finally, hypotenuse is the line opposite to the 90° which is QR= 13cm

Answer:

hypotenuse = QR = 13 cm

Perpendicular = PQ = 5 cm

Suppose that, in the past, 40% of all adults favored capital punishment. Do we have reason to believe that the proportion of adults favoring capital punishment today has increased if, in a random sample of 15 adults, 8 favor capital punishment? Use a 0.05 level of significance.

Answers

Answer:

The p-value of the test is 0.1469 > 0.05, which means that there is no reason to believe that the proportion of adults favoring capital punishment today has increased, using a 0.05 level of significance.

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose that, in the past, 40% of all adults favored capital punishment. Test if the proportion has increased:

At the null hypothesis, we test if the proportion is still of 40%, that is:

[tex]H_0: p = 0.4[/tex]

At the alternative hypothesis, we test if the proportion has increased, that is, is greater than 40%, so:

[tex]H_1: p > 0.4[/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.

0.4 is tested at the null hypothesis:

This means that [tex]\mu = 0.4, \sigma = \sqrt{0.4*0.6}[/tex]

Random sample of 15 adults, 8 favor capital punishment.

This means that [tex]n = 15, X = \frac{8}{15} = 0.5333[/tex]

Value of the test statistic:

[tex]z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

[tex]z = \frac{0.5333 - 0.4}{\frac{\sqrt{0.4*0.6}}{\sqrt{15}}}[/tex]

[tex]z = 1.05[/tex]

P-value of the test and decision:

The p-value of the test is the probability of finding a sample proportion of 0.5333 or more, which is 1 subtracted by the p-value of z = 1.05.

Looking at the z-table, z = 1.05 has a p-value of 0.8531.

1 - 0.8531 = 0.1469.

The p-value of the test is 0.1469 > 0.05, which means that there is no reason to believe that the proportion of adults favoring capital punishment today has increased, using a 0.05 level of significance.

Companies are starting to use 360-degree surveys to evaluate the performance of their employees. This approach uses annonymous feedback from a variety of people who work closely with the employee. People who fill out the survey could be coworkers, supervisors, subordinates, or even customers. It is different from a traditional performance review, which relies only on feedback from an employee's supervisor. Many prefer the 360-degree approach because it provides a more well-rounded perspective on how the employee performs in their job role. Supervisers can be biased because they do not interact with the employee in the same way that a customer or co-worker might. However, the 360-degree survey approach still relies only on subjective feedback, which does not always give a fair representation of the employee's work?

The unit price = price of one item

Therefore, given that x numbers of a certain item cost y ;

The unit price will be : y / x

frozen orange juice

16.0 oz at $2.01

12 oz at $1.69

If 16 oz cost $2.01

1 oz = $2.01 / 16 = $0.125625 * 100 = 12.56 cents

If 12 oz = $1.69

1 oz = $1.69 / 12 = $0.1408333 * 100 = 14.08 cent

Find the arc length of the 3/4 of a circle with a radius of 5

Answers

Answer:

7.5 pi

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for arc length of a sector is denoted as

[tex]\frac{x}{360}2\pi r[/tex], where x is the central angle of the sector.

Since the sector is 3/4 of a circle, the central angle will be 3/4 of 360 degrees.

3/4 of 360 is 270, so we have our central angle. We also have our radius which we can plug into the formula.

[tex]\frac{270}{360}2(5)\pi[/tex]

2 times 5 is equal to 10, and 270/360 simplifies to 3/4. 3/4 times 10 is equal to 7.5, so the answer is 7.5 pi

45%of the total population of a village are males and there are 22000 females Find the male population of the village.​

Answers

Answer:

18000

Step-by-step explanation:

The 22000 females make up 55% of the population. So, we divide 22000 by 0.55 to get the total population.

22000 ÷ 0.55 = 40000

Now we take our total population and subtract 22000 to get the number of males in the population.

40000 - 22000 = 18000

The male population of the village is 18000.

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  b) 24 miles per gallon

Step-by-step explanation:

The usual metric measure of vehicle fuel efficiency is liters per 100 km. Greater efficiency is indicated by a lower value.

In the US, the measure is usually miles per gallon. Greater efficiency is indicated by a higher value. Since we want the efficiency expressed in miles per gallon, we need to divide distance by fuel consumption.

  (distance)/(fuel used) = (100 km)/(10 L)

  = (100 km)/(10 L) × (1 mi)/(1.6 km) × (3.8 L)/(1 gal) = (100×3.8)/(10×1.6) mi/gal

  = 23.75 mi/gal ≈ 24 mi/gal
