The time it takes a customer service complaint to be settled at a small department store is normally distributed with a mean of 10 minutes and a standard deviation of 3 minutes. Find the probability that a randomly selected complaint takes more than 15 minutes to be settled.

Answer:

a) Their average weight is of 187 pounds.

b) 0.4562 = 45.62% probability that the maximum safe weight will be exceeded.

c) 0.002 = 0.2% probability that the maximum safe weight will be exceeded

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

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.

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.

a. If 44 people are on the elevator, and their total weight is 8228 pounds, what is their average weight?

8228/44 = 187

Their average weight is of 187 pounds.

b. If a random sample of 44 adult men ride the elevator, what is the probability that the maximum safe weight will be exceeded?

For men, we have that [tex]\mu = 186, \sigma = 60[/tex]

Sample of 44 means that [tex]n = 44, s = \frac{60}{\sqrt{44}}[/tex]

This probability is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 187. So

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

[tex]Z = \frac{187 - 186}{\frac{60}{\sqrt{44}}}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.11[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.11[/tex] has a p-value of 0.5438.

1 - 0.5438 = 0.4562

0.4562 = 45.62% probability that the maximum safe weight will be exceeded.

c. If a random sample of 44 adult women ride the elevator, what is the probability that the maximum safe weight will be exceeded?

For women, we have that [tex]\mu = 157, \sigma = 69[/tex]

Sample of 44 means that [tex]n = 44, s = \frac{69}{\sqrt{44}}[/tex]

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

[tex]Z = \frac{187 - 157}{\frac{69}{\sqrt{44}}}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2.88[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2.88[/tex] has a p-value of 0.998.

1 - 0.998 = 0.002.

0.002 = 0.2% probability that the maximum safe weight will be exceeded

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

The x-intercept are the values of the variable "x" for which the value of the function, f(x) is zero (f(x) = 0)

The given parameters are;

The values of the function, f(x) = The company's profit

The values of the independent variable, "x" = The price of erasers

Therefore, at the x-intercept, where the values of the variable "x" are 0 and 8, the profit of the company, (f(x)) is 0 (the company does not make any profit)

2) The maximum value, which is the highest point of the graph with coordinate (4, 270), gives the company's maximum profit, f(x) = $270, and the price of the eraser, x-value, at which the company makes maximum profit which is at the price of an eraser, x = $4

3) The intervals where the function is increasing is 0 ≤ x ≤ 4

At the interval where the function is increasing, the sale price is increasing and the profits are increasing

The intervals where the function is decreasing is 4 ≤ x ≤ 8

At the interval where the function is decreasing, the sale price is increasing and the profits are decreasing

Part B

The appropriate average rate of change of the graph from x = 1 to x = 4 where f(x) = 120 and 270 respectively is given as follows

Rate of change of the graph from x = 1 to x = 4 is (270 -120)/(4 - 1) = 50

The average rate of change of the graph represents that the as the price of the eraser increases by $1.00 the profits increases by $50.00

Answer:

a=12-6b

Step-by-step explanation:

move b and a to their respective sides, getting a = -6b+12

tada :)

As per linear equation, the value of 'a' in terms of 'b' will be

a = 12 - 6b.

A linear equation is an equation that has one or multiple variables with the highest power of the variable is 1.

Given, (3a + 4b) = (a - 8b + 24)

⇒ 3a - a = - 8b + 24 - 4b

⇒ 2a = - 12b + 24

⇒ a = (- 12b + 24)/2

⇒ a = - 6b + 12

⇒ a = 12 - 6b

Answer:

$11.22

Step-by-step explanation:

100% = 187

1% = 187/100 = $1.87

6% = 1%×6 = 1.87×6 = $11.22

Answer:

In this case, you need to calculate the 6% of the price, which is 187 $.

We only need to multiply the price (187) by the percentage (6%):

187 * 0.06 = 11.22

So the tax would be $11.22

Answer:

first question is D

second question is D .875

Step-by-step explanation:

35*2.5= 87.5

7 divided by 8= .875

Answer:

D   87.5 miles

D  0.875 = 7/8 so it is a decimal that terminates after 3 dp.

Step-by-step explanation:

We write;

Scale Inch x Miles

2.5 x 35 = 87.5 miles

Why??

87.5 miles is found when we use the scale of 35 miles = 1inch

Answer = D 87.5 miles

The second one we can either multiply by 7/8 or divide by 1-7/8 = 1/8 to show that;

1/ 1/8 = 0.125

1-0.125 = 0.875  

Any linear equation can be written as

y = mx+b

where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

m = 1/2 in this case. It represents the idea that the snow fell at a rate of 1/2 inch per hour. In other words, the snow level went up 1/2 an inch each time an hour passed by.

b = 8 is the y intercept. It's the starting amount of snow. We start off with 8 inches of snow already.

The info "snow fell for 9 hours" doesn't appear to be relevant here.

We are given 12 samples which are :

8, 20, 20, 11, 18, 12, 6, 5, 7, 22, 12, 25

We use a T-distribution to find the confidence interval since the sample size. is small, n < 30

Using a calculator :

The sample mean, xbar = 13.83

Sample standard deviation, s = 6.87

The confidence interval, C.I

C.I = xbar ± Tcritical * s/√n)

Tcritical at 95%, df = n - 1, 12 - 1 = 11

Tcritical(0.05, 11) = 2.20

Hence,

C.I = 13.83 ± 2.20(6.87/√12)

C.I = 13.83 ± 1.9831981

C. I = (13.83 - 1.983 ; 13.83 + 1.983)

20%

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of students is: 4 + 6 + 2 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 6 + 3 = 30 (students)

The probability is: 6/30 = 1/5 = 0.2 = 20%

The probability that the student is a male given that he's a sophomore is approximately 60%.

It is the chance of an event to occur from a total number of outcomes.

The formula for probability is given as:

Probability = Number of required events / Total number of outcomes.

Example:

The probability of getting a head in tossing a coin.

P(H) = 1/2

We have,

The probability that the student is a male given that it's a sophomore can be calculated using the formula:

P(male | sophomore) = P(male and sophomore) / P(sophomore)

The number of male sophomores is 6, and the total number of sophomores is 6+4=10.

So, the probability of selecting a sophomore is:

P(sophomore)

= (number of sophomores) / (total number of students)

= 10 / 23

The number of male sophomores is 6.

So,

The probability of selecting a male sophomore is:

P(male and sophomore) = 6 / 23

Therefore,

The probability that the student is a male given that it's a sophomore is:

P(male | sophomore)

= (6 / 23) / (10 / 23)

= 6 / 10

= 3 / 5

Rounding to the nearest whole percent, we get:

P(male | sophomore) ≈ 60%

Thus,

The probability that the student is a male given that he's a sophomore is approximately 60%.
