The weekly amount of money spent on maintenance and repairs by a company was observed, over a long period of time, to be approximately normally distributed with mean $440 and standard deviation $10. How much should be budgeted for weekly repairs and maintenance so that the probability the budgeted amount will be exceeded in a given week is only 0.05

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

$456.45 should be budgeted.

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.

Mean $440 and standard deviation $10.

This means that [tex]\mu = 440, \sigma = 10[/tex]

How much should be budgeted for weekly repairs and maintenance so that the probability the budgeted amount will be exceeded in a given week is only 0.05?

This is x for which

P(X > x) = 0.05

So this is the 100 - 5 = 95th percentile, which is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.95, so X when Z = 1.645.

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

[tex]1.645 = \frac{X - 440}{10}[/tex]

[tex]X - 440 = 10*1.645[/tex]

[tex]X = 456.45[/tex]

$456.45 should be budgeted.

Fred and Ted are interested in the average height of NC State students. They randomly sample students from NC State and construct confidence intervals from their data. Fred sampled 121 students to construct his confidence interval. Ted sampled 144 students to construct his confidence interval; both create histograms for their data which have symmetric, unimodal, and roughly bell-shaped distributions. Which of the following is true about the margins of error for these experiments?
a. Fred's margin of error is larger than Ted's.
b. Ted's margin of error is larger than Fred's.
c. Fred and Ted have the same size margins of error.
d. We are unable to determine which margin of error is larger without knowing more about Fred and Ted's samples.

Answers

Answer:

a. Fred's margin of error is larger than Ted's.

Step-by-step explanation:

Margin of error of a confidence interval:

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

In which z is related to the confidence level(the higher the confidence level the larger the value of z) [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

From this, we have that:

A higher confidence level leads to a larger margin of error.

A larger sample size leads to a smaller margin of error.

In this question:

Same confidence level.

Fred's sample is smaller, so his margin of error will be larger.

The correct answer is given by option a.

For the same confidence level, Fred's sample is smaller, so hir margin of error will be larger. The correct option is A.

What is normal a distribution?

It is also called the Gaussian Distribution. It is the most important continuous probability distribution. The curve looks like a bell, so it is also called a bell curve.

Fred and Ted are interested in the average height of NC State students.

Fred sampled 121 students to construct his confidence interval.

Ted sampled 144 students to construct his confidence interval.

The margin of error of a confidence interval

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

Where z is related to the confidence level, [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation level and n is a sample size.

By the formula, we have

A higher confidence level leads to a larger margin of error.

A larger sample size leads to a small margin of error.

For the same confidence level, Fred's sample is smaller, so hir margin of error will be larger. The correct option is A.

Here are the first four terms of an arithmetic sequence.

(a) Find an expression, in terms of n, for the nth term of this sequence.
(b) Find the 10th term of this sequence.
(2 part question; enter answers for (a) and (b) in the answer box below) *
(3 Points)

Answers

Answer: (assuming the first three terms are -6, -2, 2)

(a) f(n) = 4n - 10

(b) 30

Step-by-step explanation:

(So, just as a preface, I made this answer assuming the first three terms are -6, -2, and 2 since I couldn't find a provided fourth term as the problem said)

(a) In order to create an equation for an arithmetic sequence, you need to find the common difference(d) and the 0th term. You can find the common difference by finding the difference between two consecutive terms:

2 - (-2) = 4 (or (-2) - (-6) = 4), so d = 4

Now, you need to find the 0th term. To do this, you can just subtract the d from the first term, -6:

-6 - 4 = -10.

At this point, you can write the equation:

f(n) = -10 + 4n (this is the 0th term plus the common difference, 4, times the nth term)

f(n) = 4n - 10 (reorganize by value of exponents)

(b) In order to find the 10th term, you just need to plug it into the previous equation:

where n = 10, and f(n) = 4n - 10,

f(n) = 4(10) - 10 (substitute n into the equation)

f(n) = 40 - 10 (multiply the term in the parenthesis by the constant)

f(n) = 30 (subtract)

B. 24/5

Step-by-step explanation:

QR = 10

QT = 6

HI = 8

Quadrilateral QRST ~ quadrilateral HIJK, therefore, their corresponding side lengths would be proportional to each other.

This:

QR/HI = QT/HK

Plug in the values

10/8 = 6/HI

Cross multiply

10*HI = 8*6

10*HI = 48

2x + 12 = x + 16

2x + 12 - 12 = x + 16 - 12

2x + 0 = x + 4

2x = x + 4

2x - x = x + 4 - x

2x - x = x - x + 4

x = 0x + 4

x = 0 + 4

x = 4

x = 4

x + x + 6 + 6 = x + 8 + 8

(4) + (4) + 6 + 6 = (4) + 8 + 8

Vito Corleone has planned a grand outdoor summer wedding for his daughter in New York City. In the past couple of years, it has rained only 25 days out of the 92 days of summer. Unfortunately for Vito, the local meteorologist has predicted that it will rain on the day of the wedding. On a typical summer day: given it rains, the meteorologist predicted that it will rain correctly) 80% of the time On the other hand, given it did not rain, the meteorologist predicted it will rain (incorrectly 20% of the time.
A. What is the probability that the meteorologist predicts that it rains on a given summer day?
B. Given that the meteorologist predicted rain, what is the probability that it actually rains on the day of the wedding?

Answers

Answer:

a) 0.3630 = 36.30% probability that the meteorologist predicts that it rains on a given summer day.

b) 0.5989 = 59.89% probability that it actually rains on the day of the wedding

Step-by-step explanation:

Conditional Probability

We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is

[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}[/tex]

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.

[tex]P(A \cap B)[/tex] is the probability of both A and B happening.

P(A) is the probability of A happening.

A. What is the probability that the meteorologist predicts that it rains on a given summer day?

80% of 25/92(prediction of rain, and rained).

20% of 67/92(prediction of rain, did not rain). So

[tex]P = \frac{0.8*25}{92} + \frac{0.2*67}{92} = 0.3630[/tex]

0.3630 = 36.30% probability that the meteorologist predicts that it rains on a given summer day.

B. Given that the meteorologist predicted rain, what is the probability that it actually rains on the day of the wedding?

Conditional Probability, in which:

Event A: prediction of rain

Event B: rain

0.3630 = 36.30% probability that the meteorologist predicts that it rains on a given summer day, which means that [tex]P(A) = 0.3630[/tex]

Rain and prediction of rain:

80% of 25/92. So

[tex]P(A \cap B) = \frac{0.8*25}{92} = 0.2174[/tex]

The desired probability is:

[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.2174}{0.3630} = 0.5989[/tex]

0.5989 = 59.89% probability that it actually rains on the day of the wedding
