Answer:
a) 0.06% probability that 338 or more companies outsourced some part of their manufacturing process in the past two or three years.
b) 90.15% probability that 285 or more companies outsourced some part of their manufacturing process in the past two or three years.
c) 0.23% probability that 48% or less of these companies outsourced some part of their manufacturing process in the past two or three years.
Step-by-step explanation:
For questions a and b, the normal approximation to the binomial is used, while for question c, the central limit theorem is used.
Binomial probability distribution
Probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, with p probability.
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].
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]
54% of companies surveyed outsourced some part of their manufacturing process in the past two to three years.
This means that [tex]p = 0.54[/tex]
555 of these companies are contacted.
This means that [tex]n = 555[/tex]
Mean and standard deviation: Normal approximation to the binomial:
[tex]\mu = E(X) = np = 555*0.54 = 299.7[/tex]
[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{555*0.54*0.46} = 11.74[/tex]
a. What is the probability that 338 or more companies outsourced some part of their manufacturing process in the past two or three years?
Using continuity correction, this is [tex]P(X \geq 338 - 0.5) = P(X \geq 337.5)[/tex], which is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 337.5. So
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{337.5 - 299.7}{11.74}[/tex]
[tex]Z = 3.22[/tex]
[tex]Z = 3.22[/tex] has a p-value of 0.9994.
1 - 0.9994 = 0.0006
0.0006*100% = 0.06%
0.06% probability that 338 or more companies outsourced some part of their manufacturing process in the past two or three years.
b. What is the probability that 285 or more companies outsourced some part of their manufacturing process in the past two or three years?
Using continuity correction, this is [tex]P(X \geq 285 - 0.5) = P(X \geq 284.5)[/tex], which is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 284.5. So
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{284.5 - 299.7}{11.74}[/tex]
[tex]Z = -1.29[/tex]
[tex]Z = -1.29[/tex] has a p-value of 0.0985.
1 - 0.0985 = 0.9015
0.9015*100% = 90.15%
90.15% probability that 285 or more companies outsourced some part of their manufacturing process in the past two or three years.
c. What is the probability that 48% or less of these companies outsourced some part of their manufacturing process in the past two or three years?
Now we use the sampling distribution of the sample proportions, which have:
[tex]\mu = p = 0.54[/tex]
[tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{0.54*0.46}{555}} = 0.0212[/tex]
The probability is the p-value of Z when X = 0.48. So
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
By the Central Limit Theorem
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{0.48 - 0.54}{0.0212}[/tex]
[tex]Z = -2.84[/tex]
[tex]Z = -2.84[/tex] has a p-value of 0.0023.
0.0023*100% = 0.23%
0.23% probability that 48% or less of these companies outsourced some part of their manufacturing process in the past two or three years.

The average of two numbers is 5x. If one of the numbers is 2x + 3, find the other number.
Answer:
8x-3
Step-by-step explanation:
Average of 2 numbers means add the two numbers and divide by 2
(y+z)/2 = 5x
Let z = 2x+3
(y+2x+3)/2 = 5x
Multiply each side by 2
y+2x+3 = 10x
Subtract 2x from each side
y+3 = 10x-2x
y+3 = 8x
Subtract 3
y = 8x-3
The other number is 8x-3

The perimeter of a triangle is 83 centimeters. If two sides are equally long and the third side is 8 centimeters longer than the others, find the lengths of the three sides.
Answer:
25, 33
Step-by-step explanation:
let the length of the one with equal sides be x
third side = x+8
x+x+x+8 = 83
3x+8 = 83
3x = 75
x = 25
x+8 = 25+8 = 33

evaluate the function f(x)=4x^2-7x+7 find f(7)
please I need the answer soon!
9514 1404 393
Answer:
f(7) = 154
Step-by-step explanation:
The basic idea is you put 7 where x is and do the arithmetic.
Polynomial evaluation is sometimes easier if you rewrite it to Horner form.
f(x) = (4x -7)x +7
f(7) = (4·7 -7)(7) +7 = 21(7) +7 = 147 +7
f(7) = 154

If the terminal side of an angle (θ) goes through the point (4 , -3) what is (θ)?
Answer:
The family of directions of the given vector is represented by [tex]\theta = 323.130^{\circ} \pm 360\cdot i[/tex], [tex]\forall \,i\in \mathbb{N}_{O}[/tex].
Step-by-step explanation:
According to the given information, vector stands in the 4th Quadrant ([tex]x > 0[/tex], [tex]y < 0[/tex]) and direction of the vector ([tex]\theta[/tex]) in sexagesimal degrees, is determined by following definition:
[tex]\theta = 360^{\circ} - \tan^{-1} \left(\frac{|y|}{|x|} \right)\pm 360\cdot i[/tex], [tex]\forall \,i\in \mathbb{N}_{O}[/tex]
Please notice that angle represents a function with a periodicity of 360°.
If we know that [tex]x = 4[/tex] and [tex]y = -3[/tex], then the direction of the vector is:
[tex]\theta = 360^{\circ}-\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{|-3|}{|4|} \right)\pm 360\cdot i[/tex]
[tex]\theta = 323.130^{\circ} \pm 360\cdot i[/tex]
The family of directions of the given vector is represented by [tex]\theta = 323.130^{\circ} \pm 360\cdot i[/tex], [tex]\forall \,i\in \mathbb{N}_{O}[/tex].

The function h(x) is quadratic and h(3) = h(-10) = 0. Which could represent h(x)?
1) h(x) = x2 - 13x - 30
2) h(x) = x2 - 7x - 30
3) h(x) = 2x2 + 26x - 60
4) h(x) = 2x2 + 14x - 60
Answer:
h(x) = 2x^2 +14x -60
Step-by-step explanation:
A quadratic is of the form
h(x) = ax^2 + bx +c
h(3) = h(-10) = 0
This tells us that the zeros are at x=3 and x = -10
We can write the equation in the form
h(x) = a( x-z1)(x-z2) where z1 and z2 are the zeros
h(x) = a(x-3) (x- -10)
h(x) = a(x-3) (x+10)
FOIL
h(x) = a( x^2 -3x+10x-30)
h(x) = a(x^2 +7x -30)
Let a = 2
h(x) = 2x^2 +14x -60
It means
zeros are 3 and -10

Answer:
The answer is [tex]x=\frac{4(+-)\sqrt{19} }{3}[/tex] in exact form or [tex]x=2.7863[/tex], [tex]x=-0.1196[/tex] in decimal form.
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this equation, start by moving all expression to the left side of the equation, which will include subtracting [tex]3x^2[/tex] and adding 1 to both sides of the equation. The equation will look like [tex]8x-3x^2+1=0[/tex].
Then, use the quadratic formula to find the solutions to the equation. The quadratic formula looks like [tex]\frac{-b(+-)\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}[/tex].
For this problem, the quadratic variables are as follows:
[tex]a=-3\\b=8\\c=1[/tex]
The next step is to substitute the values [tex]a=-3[/tex], [tex]b=8[/tex], and [tex]c=1[/tex] into the quadratic formula and solve for x. The quadratic formula will look like [tex]\frac{-8(+-)\sqrt{8^2-4(-3)(1)} }{2*-3}[/tex]. To simplify the equation, start by simplifying the numerator, which will look like [tex]x=\frac{-8(+-)2\sqrt{19} }{2*-3}[/tex]. Then, multiply 2 by -3 and simplify the equation, which will look like [tex]x=\frac{4(+-)\sqrt{19} }{3}[/tex]. The final answer is [tex]x=\frac{4(+-)\sqrt{19} }{3}[/tex] in exact form. In decimal form, the final answer is [tex]x=2.7863[/tex], [tex]x=-0.1196[/tex].

If per unit variable cost of a product is Rs.8 and fixed cost is Rs 5000 and it is sold for Rs 15 per unit, profit in 1000 units is.......
a.. rs 7000
b. rs 2000
c. rs 25000
d. rs 0
Answer:
a.. rs 7000
Because 15×1000=15000 it is SP when selling 1000units in the rate of Rs 15/unit& 8×1000=8000 this is cp when buying 1000 units in the rate of Rs 8/unit.
So,by formula of profit,

Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
this is a "translation" - a shift of the object without changing its shadow and size.
this shift is described by a "vector" - in 2D space by the x and y distances to move.
we have here (1, 0) - so, we move every point one unit to the right (positive x direction) and 0 units up/down.
therefore, C is the right answer (the x coordinates of the points are increased by 1, the y coordinate are unchanged).

An automobile manufacturer has given its jeep a 51.3 miles/gallon (MPG) rating. An independent testing firm has been contracted to test the actual MPG for this jeep since it is believed that the jeep has an incorrect manufacturer's MPG rating. After testing 230 jeeps, they found a mean MPG of 51.1. Assume the population variance is known to be 6.25. A level of significance of 0.02 will be used. Make the decision to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis.
Answer:
The p-value of the test is 0.2262 > 0.02, which means that the decision is to fail to reject the null hypothesis.
Step-by-step explanation:
An automobile manufacturer has given its jeep a 51.3 miles/gallon (MPG) rating.
At the null hypothesis, we test if the mean is of 51.3, that is:
[tex]H_0: \mu = 51.3[/tex]
An independent testing firm has been contracted to test the actual MPG for this jeep since it is believed that the jeep has an incorrect manufacturer's MPG rating.
This means that at the alternative hypothesis, we test if the mean is different of 51.3, that is:
[tex]H_0: \mu \neq 51.3[/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.
51.3 is tested at the null hypothesis:
This means that [tex]\mu = 51.3[/tex]
After testing 230 jeeps, they found a mean MPG of 51.1. Assume the population variance is known to be 6.25.
This means that [tex]n = 230, X = 51.1, \sigma = \sqrt{6.25} = 2.5[/tex]
Value of the test statistic:
[tex]z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]
[tex]z = \frac{51.1 - 51.3}{\frac{2.5}{\sqrt{230}}}[/tex]
[tex]z = -1.21[/tex]
P-value of the test and decision:
The p-value of the test is the probability of the sample mean differing from 51.1 by at least 0.2, which is P(|z| > 1.21), which is 2 multiplied by the p-value of z = -1.21.
Looking at the z-table, z = -1.21 has a p-value of 0.1131.
2*0.1131 = 0.2262
The p-value of the test is 0.2262 > 0.02, which means that the decision is to fail to reject the null hypothesis.
