A toy manufacturer wants to know how many new toys children buy each year. A sample of 686686 children was taken to study their purchasing habits. Construct the 85%85% confidence interval for the mean number of toys purchased each year if the sample mean was found to be 6.86.8. Assume that the population standard deviation is 2.12.1. Round your answers to one decimal place.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The 85% confidence interval for the mean number of toys purchased each year is (6.7, 6.9).

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our [tex]\alpha[/tex] level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

[tex]\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.85}{2} = 0.075[/tex]

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \alpha[/tex].

That is z with a pvalue of [tex]1 - 0.075 = 0.925[/tex], so Z = 1.44.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

[tex]M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

In which [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

[tex]M = 1.44\frac{2.1}{\sqrt{686}} = 0.1[/tex]

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 6.8 - 0.1 = 6.7

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 6.8 + 0.1 = 6.9

The 85% confidence interval for the mean number of toys purchased each year is (6.7, 6.9).

The cost of producing x units of a product is $1.25 per unit plus $1,000 in flat production costs. If you spend $3,000 on production costs, how many units were produced?

3,000=1.25x+1,000

Answers

Answer:

1600

Step-by-step explanation:

1.25x + 1000 = 3000

Subtract 1000 from both sides

1.25x = 2000

Divide both sides by 1.25

x = 1600

Calculate the variance and the standard deviation for the following sample data. Scores: 7, 9, 0, 1, 7, 4, 4, 7, 6

Answers

Answer:

Variance = 9

Standard deviation = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Find the Mean

Means = Sum of values/Number of values

= 0 + 1 + 4 + 4 + 6 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 9/9

= 45/9

= 5

Step 2

The formula for Sample variance

= (x - Mean)²/n - 1

Where

n = number of values = 9

Hence:

Sample variance =

( (0 - 5)² + (1 - 5)²+ (4 - 5)² + (4 - 5)² + (6 - 5)² + (7 - 5)² + (7 - 5)² + (7 - 5)² + (9 - 5)²)/9 - 1

= (-5² + -4²+ -1² + -1² + 1² + 2² + 2² + 2² + 4²) /8

= (25 + 16 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 16)/8

= 72/8

= 9

Sample Standard deviation = √Sample variance

= √9

= 3

A store has a sale with 10% off every item. When you enter the store, you receive a coupon that states that you receive an additional 10% off. Is this equal to a 20% discount

Answers

Answer: It's not equal to 20% discount.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume the cost of a good is $100. Since there's 10% off on every item, the cost of the good will be:

= $100 - (10% × $100)

= $100 - $10

= $90

Since the coupon states that one will receive an additional 10% off, therefore the amount that the person will pay will be:

= $90 - (10% × $90)

= $90 - (0.1 × $90)

= $90 - $9

= $81

If the same good is $100 and there's a 20% discount, the amount that'll be paid will be:

= $100 - (20% × $100)

= $100 - (0.2 × $100)

= $100 - $20

= $80

Therefore, it's not equal to 20% discount.

In a 3-digit number, the hundreds digit is one more than the ones digit and the tens digit is twice the hundreds digit. If the sum of the digits is 11, find the number. Plz give equation and answer.

Answers

Answer:

362

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the ones digit equal x. If the ones digit is one, then the hundreds digit is one more than it or x + 1. And, since the tens digit is twice the hundreds digit, you can say it is 2(x + 1) or as simplified: 2x + 2. Now, we are given the sum of the digits is 11, so if we add all of them, they should be equal to 11:

x + x + 1 + 2x + 2 = 11

We can combine like terms:

4x + 3 = 11

4x = 8

x = 2

So, the ones digit is 2. Since the hundreds digit is one more, it's 3. And because the tens is twice the hundreds, it's 6. The number is 362.

Answer:

362

Step-by-step explanation:

Tens:2x

Answers

The rule of PEMDAS states that Parentheses always comes first, exponents always comes second, but Multiplication and Division are equal. Because multiplication and division are equal, you work left to right and do whatever operation comes first. Multiplication and division come before addition and subtraction, which also have an equal relationship.

Therefore, if you have simplified the terms inside the parentheses first, and have done the exponents second, then multiplication would come next. So that’s the answer, multiplication.

According to Pythagorean theorem,

In a right triangle,

Jim sells hot dogs for $2.95 each and steak sandwiches for $9.95 each out of his food cart. During a busy outdoor festival, he sold a total of 985 items for $7343.75. How many steak sandwiches did he sell?

Answers

Answer:

634 steak sandwiches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say X is the number of hot dogs and Y is the number of steak sandwiches.

2.95x + 9,95y = 7343.75

x + y = 985

y = 985 - x

2.95x + 9.95(985-x) = 7343.75

2.95x + 9800.75 - 9.95x = 7343.75

7x = 2457

x = 351

y = 985 - 351

y = 634

what is the area of the pentagon shown below a.27 square feet b. 58.5 c.85.5 d.117

Explain why.

Answers

Answer:

Option B, Area of pentagon = 58.5 Square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The remaining part of the question is attached as image

Solution

Area of pentagon has a triangle and a trapezoid

Area of triangle = 0.5 *base *height = 0.5*9 *3 = 13.5  square feet

Area of trapezoid = Area of rectangle – 2* area of smaller triangles

= 9 ft * 6ft – ( 2 * 0.5 * 6 ft * (9 ft – 6ft) /2

= 54 – (1*6*1.5)

Area of pentagon = 13.5 + 45 = 58.5 Square feet

Hence, option B is correct

A mechanical system has 3 subsystems in series, each has reliabilities 98%, 96% and 94%, respectively. What is the overall reliability of the system

Answers

Answer:

The overall reliability of the system is 99.9952%

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of the system not working:

None working, the first with 2% probability of not working(as it has 98% probability of working), the second with 4% and the third with 6%. So

0.02*0.04*0.06 = 0.000048

Probability of the system working:

1 subtracted by the probability of the systme not working.

1 - 0.000048 = 0.999952

0.999952*100% = 99.9952%

The overall reliability of the system is 99.9952%

Cathy lives in a state where speeders are fined $15 for each mile per hour over the speed limit. Cathy was given a ticket for $105 for speeding on a road where the speed limit is 60 miles per hour. How fast was Cathy driving?

Answers

Given :

Cathy lives in a state where speeders are fined $15 for each mile per hour over the speed limit.

Cathy was given a ticket for $105 for speeding on a road where the speed limit is 60 miles per hour.

To Find :

How fast was Cathy driving.

Solution :

Let, speed of Cathy is v miles per hour.

Number of miles per hour over the speed limit, n = v - 60 miles per hour.

It is given that speeders are fined $15 for each mile per hour over the speed limit.

So, total amount of fine for Cathy is :

105 = 15×( v - 60 )

v-60 = 7

v = 67 miles per hour

Therefore, Cathy was driving with speed of 67 miles per hour.
