Each year the admissions committee at a top business school receives a large number of applications for admission to the MBA program and they have to decide on the number of offers to make. Since some of the admitted students may decide to pursue other opportunities, the committee typically admits more students than the ideal class size of 720 students. You were asked to help the admission committee estimate the appropriate number of people who should be offered admission. It is estimated that in the coming year the number of people who will not accept the admission is normally distributed with mean 50 and standard deviation 21. Suppose for now that the school does not maintain a waiting list, that is, all students arc accepted or rejected. a. Suppose 750 students are admitted. What is the probability that the class size will be at least 720 students'

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

0.1711 = 17.11% probability that the class size will be at least 720 students

Step-by-step explanation:

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.

In this question:

Our random variable X is the number of students not taking admission, which has mean [tex]\mu = 50[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma = 21[/tex]

a. Suppose 750 students are admitted. What is the probability that the class size will be at least 720 students?

30 or less students do not take admission, which means that this is the pvalue of Z when X = 30.

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

[tex]Z = \frac{30 - 50}{21}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.95[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.95[/tex] has a pvalue of -0.1711

0.1711 = 17.11% probability that the class size will be at least 720 students

Answers

Answer:

A= 30 sq feet

? = 5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

if the total area is 104 square feet and we know where 44 square feet of that is accounted for that leaves 60 square feet so both A sections are equal so we can divide 60 by 2 to get 30 square feet. So "A" is 30 square feet.

to get "?" we need to find the other measurement for the 10 square foot sections, the easiest way to find that is 10 divided by 2 ( which is the measurement we already have), once we do this we get 5 feet, and because 5 feet is the height measurement for that part of the net diagram we know that the "?" will need to be 5 as well because it is also a height measurement.

Your local school board wants to determine the proportion of people who plan on voting for the school levy in the upcoming election. They conduct a random phone poll, where they contact 150 individuals and ask them whether or not they plan on voting for the levy. Of these 150 respondents, 78 people say they plan on voting for the levy. The school board wants to determine whether or not the data supports the idea that more than 50% of people plan on voting for the levy. Calculate the p-value for the one-sided Hypothesis test described in this example. (Hint: Find the test statistic and then use the tables to find the p-value.)

Answers

Answer:

The p-value for the one-sided Hypothesis test described in this example is 0.3121.

Step-by-step explanation:

Test the hypothesis that more than 50% of people plan on voting for the levy.

At the null hypothesis, we test that the proportion is 50%, that is:

[tex]H_0: p = 0.5[/tex]

At the alternate hypothesis, we test if this proportion is above 50%, that is:

[tex]H_a: p > 0.5[/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.

0.5 is tested at the null hypothesis:

This means that [tex]\mu = 0.5, \sigma = \sqrt{0.5*0.5} = 0.5[/tex]

Of these 150 respondents, 78 people say they plan on voting for the levy.

This means that [tex]n = 150, X = \frac{78}{150} = 0.52[/tex]

Value of the test statistic:

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

[tex]z = \frac{0.52 - 0.5}{\frac{0.5}{\sqrt{150}}}[/tex]

[tex]z = 0.49[/tex]

Pvalue of the test:

The pvalue of the test is the probability of finding a proportion above 0.52, which is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of z = 0.49.

Looking at the z-table, z = 0.49 has a pvalue of 0.6879.

1 - 0.6879 = 0.3121

The p-value for the one-sided Hypothesis test described in this example is 0.3121.

Put the numbers in the distance formula and do the arithmetic.

  d = √((x2 -x1)² +(y2 -y1)²)

  d = √((2-(-1))² +(3-2)²) = √(3² +1²) = √10

  d ≈ 3.16 ≈ 3.2

Need help with this problem!!

Answers

Answer:

Area:

4 x 4 = 16

Finding area of semi circle:

4 is your diameter so half of it is your radius which is 2 since half of 4 is 2!

2^2<---your radius being squared = 4

4(radius squared) x 3.14(pi) = 12.56

12.56 divided by 2 since its a semi circle is = 6.28

6.28 + 16 = 22.28 is your area

Perimeter is:

4 + 4 + 4 (all sides of a square are equal therefore one or two given lengths will be all the sides) = 12

Circumference:

Radius is 2,

2(you just always have to multiply this number when finding circumference) x 3.14(pi) x 2(radius), 2 x 3.14 x 2 = 12.56

12.56 divided by 2 = 6.28

6.28 + 12 = 18.28 is your perimeter.

Just a refresh:

Circumference Formula:

2(always use this number when finding circumference) x pi(3.14 or 22/7 depending on what they tell you to use for pi) x radius

Area of a Circle Formula:

Radius squared x pi(3.14 or 22/7 whatever they tell you to use for pi)

Another thing you should remember:

Whenever it gives you 1/4 of a circle or 1/3 or a semi circle or any fraction, REMEMBER TO DIVIDE BY THAT DENOMINATOR TO WHAT YOU GET FROM EITHER CIRCUMFERENCE OR AREA OF A CIRCLE!

(Paragraph 6)Type your answer in the space providedHere is the rest of the textJames Jim Bridger1804-18811 James Felix Jim Bridgers life story is as interesting as the tall tales he used to tell. Bridger was born in Virginia in 1804. Later, his family moved to a farm near St. Louis, Missouri. At age fourteen, he went to work as a blacksmiths apprentice. He learned how to make horseshoes and other products out of iron.2 When Bridger was eighteen years old, he was the youngest member of a group that explored and mapped the Missouri River. As a part of the expedition, he was one of the first European American people to see the natural wonders of what is now Yellowstone National Park.3 Yellowstone was the first in a long line of landscapes that Bridger was to encounter before others. While spending the winter of 182425 in what is now Cove, Utah, members of the team Bridger was with argued about which direction they thought the Bear River went. The team chose Bridger to explore the river. He ended up at the Great Salt Lake, which he mistook for an inlet of the Pacific Ocean because of the lakes saltiness. For many years, people assumed Bridger was the first non-Native American to discover the Great Salt Lake. However, some now think that Etienne Provost, a French-Canadian trapper, may have seen it first.4 Using the skills he learned while exploring the Missouri, Bridger became very good at trapping beavers for their furs, also called pelts. By 1830, Bridger became part owner of a company that specialized in beaver trapping. Beaver pelts were very popular for hats and clothing at the time.5 Bridgers success at trappingas well as the growing number of people moving to the western part of Americaled to the building of a trading post and fort near the Green River in Wyoming. It became known as Fort Bridger. Many people passed the fort as they traveled west on the Oregon Trail. Often, the settlers stopped to buy supplies, get their wagons fixed, and hear Jim Bridgers stories. He became famous for telling tall tales to the people passing through.6 Bridgers stories were funny, extravagant, and often unbelievable. He would tell stories of glass mountains, peetrified birds singing peetrified songs, and talk about days when Pikes Peak was just a hole in the ground. These outrageous stories were told both to tease new arrivals from the east and to amuse the locals who knew they werent true.7 The Rocky Mountains were largely unexplored and Bridger spent many years hiking them and trapping animals. In his travels, he learned a great deal about the terrain and wildlife of the area. Because of his knowledge and skills, he became a valued guide. People often hired him to lead them across the mountains.8 In 1850, Bridger found a short cut through the mountains of Wyoming through the Rocky Mountains. This path became known as Bridgers Pass. Because the pass shortened trips by sixty-one miles, settlers moving west frequently used it. In addition, the pass later became part of the Union Pacific Railroad. The Union Pacific was part of the Transcontinental Railroad, the first railroad to cross America from coast to coast.9 Bridger spent twenty years working as a guide. When he retired, he went back to Missouri to live on a farm, where he died in 1881 at the age of seventy-seven. Jim Bridger is remembered for being a skilled mountain man and storyteller. Today, there are many places in the American West named in honor of Jim Bridger.
