The hours a week people spend answering and sending emails is normally distributed with a standard deviation of Ï = 150 minutes. How large of a sample size would you need to estimate the mean number of minutes people spend answering and sending emails with an error of 1 minutes with 99% confidence? What would be the practical problem with attempting to find this confidence interval?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

sample size n would be 149305 large

Value of n (149305) is too high, this will be the practical problem with attempting to find this confidence interval

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

standard deviation α = 150 min

confidence interval = 99%

since; p( -2.576 < z < 2.576) = 0.99

so z-value for 99% CI is 2.576

E = 1 minutes

Therefore

n = [(z × α) / E ]²

so we substitute

n = [(2.576 × 150) / 1 ]²

n = [ 386.4 ]²

n = 149304.96 ≈ 149305

Therefore sample size would be 149305 large

Value of n is too high, that would be the practical problem with attempting to find this confidence interval

The local diner offers a meal combination consisting of an appetizer, a soup, a main course, and a dessert. There are six appetizers, two soups, four main courses, and six desserts. Your diet restricts you to choosing between a dessert and an appetizer. (You cannot have both.) Given this restriction, how many three-course meals are possible?

Answers

Answer: 96

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the fundamental principle of counting:

Total number of meals possible = (Choices for appetizers) x (Choices for soups) x (Choices for main courses) x (Choices for desserts)

If there is a restriction to choose between appetizer and dessert.

Then, Total number of meals possible = (Choices for appetizers) x (Choices for soups) x (Choices for main courses) +  (Choices for soups) x (Choices for main courses) x (Choices for desserts)

= 6 x 2 x 4 + 2 x 4 X 6

= 48+48

= 96

Hence, the number of three-course meals are possible= 96

The amount of mustard dispensed from a standard dispenser is normally distributed with a mean of 0.9oz and a variance of 0.01oz. If a family of six buys ten hotdogs total and dispenses mustard onto each one using the standard dispenser, what is the probability that more than 3 of them will have more than one ounce of mustard?

Answers

Answer:

the probability that more than 3 of them will have more than one ounce of mustard is 0.05975

Step-by-step explanation:

Given te data in the question;

let x rep the quantity of mustard on a hotdog ( in oz)

so

X → N ( u = 0.9, α² = 0.01 )

now P( more than one ounces of mustard on a hotdog) will be

P( X>1 ) = P( Z > ((1-0.9)/(√0.01)) ) = P( Z > 1 ) = 1 - P( Z < 1 )

= 1 - 0.84134 = 0.15866

Also let Y rep the number of hotdogs that have more than one ounces of mustard, so

Y → Bin( n = 10, p = 0.15866 )

P( y = y ) = (¹⁰ _y) ( 0.15855)⁰ ( 1 - 0.15866 )^10-y, y = 0,1,2,3......, 10

so required probability = P(Y > 3) = 1 - P(Y ≤ 3)

= 1 - P(Y=0) - P(Y=1) - P(Y=2) - P(Y=3)

=1 -  (¹⁰ ₀) ( 0.15855)⁰ (1 - 0.15855)¹⁰⁻⁰ - (¹⁰ ₁) ( 0.15855)¹ (1 - 0.15855)¹⁰⁻¹ - (¹⁰ ₂) ( 0.15855)² (1 - 0.15855)¹⁰⁻² - (¹⁰ ₃) ( 0.15855)³ (1 - 0.15855)¹⁰⁻³

= 0.05975

Therefore the probability that more than 3 of them will have more than one ounce of mustard is 0.05975

Answers

Answer:

500 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2l + 2w

where

l is the length

w is the width

From the question we have

[tex]2500 = 2l + 2(750) \\ 2500 = 2l + 1500 \\ 2l = 2500 - 1500 \\ 2l = 1000 \\ \frac{2l}{2} = \frac{1000}{2} \\ l = \frac{1000}{2} \\ l = 500[/tex]

We have the final answer as

500 cm

if R is the midpoint of QS, RS = 2x-4, ST = tx-1, and RT = 8x-43

Answers

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.

If R is the midpoint of QS, [tex]RS=2x-4[/tex], ST = [tex]4x-1[/tex] and RT = [tex]8x-43[/tex], find QS.

Answer: QS = 68 units

Step-by-step explanation: The figure below shows a line segment QT.

To determine QS, first, determine value of x:

RT = RS + ST

[tex]8x-43=2x-4+4x-1[/tex]

[tex]8x-43=6x-5[/tex]

2x = 38

x = 19

Now, we determine QS:

Midpoint is a point dividing a line segment in two equal parts.

Then, QR = RS.

QS = QR + RS

QS = 2RS

[tex]QS=2(2x-4)[/tex]

[tex]QS=4x-8[/tex]

Substituting x = 19:

[tex]QS=4.19-8[/tex]

QS = 68

The segment QS is 68 units.

Answer: x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

I have no idea what the actual answer is, as you didn't ask a question. So i'm assuming that you want the value of x.

Step 1: Draw a line containing all the points

R is in between point Q and point S, while T is last, based on alphabetical order.

Illustration:

         2x - 4   Tx - 1

Q       R       S       T

             8x - 43

Step 2: Find T's value

To find t, create the substitution equation RS + ST = RT

2x - 4 + tx - 1 = 8x - 43

-2x                     -2x

-4 + tx - 1 = 6x - 43

tx - 5 = 6x - 43

tx = 6x - 38

tx/x = 6x/x - 38

t = 6 - 38

t = -32

This is the value of t

By the way, there is no correlation between point T and the variable t.

Step 3: Find x's value

Now that we know what t is, we can solve for x

2x - 4 -32x - 1 = 8x - 43

-30x - 5 = 8x - 43

+30x        +30x

-5 = 38x - 43

+43         +43

38 = 38x

38/38 = 38x/38

1 = x

This is the value of x

If 4% of a number is 8, find 1% of that number.


How do I solve this problem?

Answers

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the number by dividing 8 by 0.04

8/0.04

= 200

Then, find 1% of 200 by multiplying it by 0.01:

200(0.01)

= 2

So, 1% of the number is 2.

Answer:

The answer is 2

Step-by-step explanation:

4%x5=20% and 8x5=40, 20%x5=100% and 40x5=200 and 1% means you move the decimal to the left twice so it is 2, my explanation  might be wrong but I know my answer is correct:

You now have an equation to model the finances of the car wash. What is the value of the profit when the baseball team washes 0 cars? What point represents the value? What does the y-value of this point mean in terms of the problem?​

Answers

Answer:

The equation for the profit made on the car wash is y = 5x – 75. Here, y is the profit made and x is the number of cars washed. So if the team washes 0 cars, x will be 0.

y = 5(0) – 75

y = -75

The point that represents this is (0, -75). Here, the value of the y-coordinate of the point is -75. Since it has a negative sign, it means that instead of making a profit, the team suffers a loss. So, if the baseball team washed no cars, it would lose $75.

The Variance : Var(X) = (Σx²*p(x)) - μ²

μ = E(X) = Σ(X * p(x)) :

Σ(X * p(x)) = (1*0.1)+(2*0.1)+(3*0.6)+(4*0.1)+(5*0.1)

μ = 3

Var(X): [(1^2*0.1)+(2^2*0.1)+(3^2*0.6)+(4^2*0.1)+(5^2*0.1)] - 3²
