Answer:
Due to the higher Z-score, Norma should be offered the job
Step-by-step explanation:
Z-score:
In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore 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 pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
In this question:
Whoever has the higher z-score should be offered the job.
Alissa:
[tex]X = 68.5, \mu = 60.4, \sigma = 9[/tex]
So
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{68.5 - 60.4}{9}[/tex]
[tex]Z = 0.9[/tex]
Morgan:
[tex]X = 252.5, \mu = 227, \sigma = 17[/tex]
So
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{252.5 - 227}{17}[/tex]
[tex]Z = 1.5[/tex]
Norma:
[tex]X = 7.96, \mu = 6.7, \sigma = 0.7[tex]
So
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{7.96 - 6.7}{0.7}[/tex]
[tex]Z = 1.8[/tex]
Due to the higher Z-score, Norma should be offered the job

Last years freshman class at big state university totaled $5330 students. Of those, $1258 received a merit scholarship to help offset tuition cost their freshman year. The amount a student received was N($3464, 489). If the cost of full tuition was $4450 last year, what percentage of students who received a merit scholarship did not receive enough to cover full tuition?
Answer:
2.17% of students who received a merit scholarship did not receive enough to cover full tuition
Step-by-step explanation:
Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore 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 pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
In this question, we have that:
[tex]\mu = 3464, \sigma = 489[/tex]
If the cost of full tuition was $4450 last year, what percentage of students who received a merit scholarship did not receive enough to cover full tuition?
This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 4450. So
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{4450 - 3464}{489}[/tex]
[tex]Z = 2.02[/tex]
[tex]Z = 2.02[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.9783.
1 - 0.9783 = 0.0217
2.17% of students who received a merit scholarship did not receive enough to cover full tuition

Each have four possible answers left parenthesis a,b,c,d right parenthesis, one of which is correct. Assume that you guess the answers to three such questions.
a. Use the multiplication rule to find P(CWC), where C denotes a correct answer and W denotes a wrong answer.
b. Beginning with CWC, make a complete list of the different possible arrangements of two correct answers and one wrong answer, then find the probability for each entry in the list.P(CWC)minussee above P(WCC)equals? 0.046875 P(CCW)equals? 0.046875 (Type exact answers.)
c. Based on the preceding results, what is the probability of getting exactly two correct answers when three guesses aremade?
Answer:
a. P(CWC)=0.046875
b. P(WCC)=0.046875
P(CCW)=0.046875
c. P=0.140625
Step-by-step explanation:
By the rule of multiplication there are 64 forms to answer three questions. This is calculated as:
4 _ * 4 * 4 = 64
1st question 2nd question 3rd question
Because there are 4 options for every question. At the same way, from that 64 options, 3 are CWC and it is calculated as:
1 _ * 3 * 1 = 3
1st question 2nd question 3rd question
Because there is just one answer that is correct for the first question, there are 3 answers wrong for the second question and there are 1 answer correct for the third question.
So, the probability P(CWC) is equal to:
[tex]P(CWC)=\frac{3}{64}=0.046875[/tex]
Then, the complete list of the different possible arrangements of two correct answers and one wrong answer are: CWC, WCC and CCW
Therefore, the probabilities P(WCC) and P(CCW) are calculated as:
[tex]P(WCC)=\frac{3*1*1}{64}=\frac{3}{4}= 0.046875[/tex]
[tex]P(CCW)=\frac{1*1*3}{64}=\frac{3}{4}= 0.046875[/tex]
Finally, the probability of getting exactly two correct answers is the sum of the probabilities calculated before.
[tex]P=P(CWC)+P(WCC)+P(CCW)\\P=0.046875+0.046875+0.046875\\P=0.140625[/tex]
According to the Mortgage Bankers Association, 21% of U.S. mortgages were delinquent last year. A delinquent mortgage is one that has missed at least one payment but has not yet gone to foreclosure. A random sample of seven mortgages was selected. What is the standard deviation of this distribution
Answer:
The standard deviation for the number of delinquent mortgages in the sample is 1.08.
Step-by-step explanation:
For each mortgage, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is delinquent, or it is not. The probability of a mortgage being delinquent is independent of other mortgages. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.
Binomial probability distribution
Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.
The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:
[tex]\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}[/tex]
21% of U.S. mortgages were delinquent last year.
This means that [tex]p = 0.21[/tex]
A random sample of seven mortgages was selected.
This means that [tex]n = 7[/tex]
What is the standard deviation of this distribution
[tex]\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{7*0.21*0.79} = 1.08[/tex]
The standard deviation for the number of delinquent mortgages in the sample is 1.08.

Some of the stock in a winery has been found to be infected by Brettanomyces. You independently sample 80 barrels from the winery, and find that 28 of them are infected. Carry out a hypothesis test to evaluate the claim that half of the wine barrels are infected. What is closest to the p-value that you obtain
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If half of the wine barrels are infected, it means that the proportion of infected wine is 0.5
We would set up the hypothesis test.
For the null hypothesis,
p = 0.5
For the alternative hypothesis,
p < 0.5
Considering the population proportion, probability of success, p = 0.5
q = probability of failure = 1 - p
q = 1 - 0.5 = 0.5
Considering the sample,
Sample proportion, P = x/n
Where
x = number of success = 28
n = number of samples = 80
P = 28/80 = 0.35
We would determine the test statistic which is the z score
z = (P - p)/√pq/n
z = (0.35 - 0.5)/√(0.5 × 0.5)/80 = - 2.68
From the normal distribution table, the area below the test z score in the left tail 0.0037
Therefore,
p value = 0.0037
Assuming a significance level of 0.05, therefore,
Since alpha, 0.05 > than the p value, 0.0037, then we would reject the null hypothesis.
Provide an appropriate response. A 28-year-old man pays $94 for a one-year life insurance policy with coverage of $120,000. If the probability that he will live through the year is 0.9991, what is the expected value for the insurance policy
Answer:
$ 14.08
Step-by-step explanation:
We have that the policy costs $ 94 and with life insurance with coverage of $ 120,000, to calculate the expected value, we must subtract the value of that life insurance multiplied with the probability of dying (complement of the probability of living) and the policy value multiplied by the probability of staying alive) like this:
120000 * (1 - 0.9991) - 94 * 0.9991 = 14.0846
Which means that the expected value of the policy is $ 14.08

To help consumers assess the risks they are taking, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) publishes the amount of nicotine found in all commercial brands of cigarettes. A new cigarette has recently been marketed. The FDA tests on this cigarette yielded mean nicotine content of 25.325.3 milligrams and standard deviation of 2.72.7 milligrams for a sample of n equals 9n=9 cigarettes. Construct a 9090% confidence interval for the mean nicotine content of this brand of cigarette.
Answer:
The 90% confidence interval for the mean nicotine content of this brand of cigarette is between 20.3 milligrams and 30.3 milligrams.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the standard deviation for the sample, so we use the t-distribution to solve this question.
The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So
df = 9 - 1 = 8
90% confidence interval
Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 8 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of [tex]1 - \frac{1 - 0.9}{2} = 0.95[/tex]. So we have T = 1.8595
The margin of error is:
M = T*s = 1.8595*2.7 = 5
In which s is the standard deviation of the sample.
The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 25.3 - 5 = 20.3 milligrams
The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 25.3 + 5 = 30.3 milligrams.
The 90% confidence interval for the mean nicotine content of this brand of cigarette is between 20.3 milligrams and 30.3 milligrams.
Suppose Blue Cab Company charges $2.85 a ride up to 0.1 miles and $0.30 for each additional tenth of a mile. If the mean distance a passenger wants to go is 5.3 miles with a standard deviation of 1.4 miles, what is the standard deviation of the fare passengers pay
Answer:
$4.20
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculation for the standard deviation of the fare passengers pay of Blue Cab Company:
T = Total amount of the cab fare
Formula for Standard deviation of T will be:
T = σa+bX= bσX.
To convert the rate to dollars per mile from dollars per tenth of a mile, it will be:
b= 3
Hence,
Standard deviation of T is :
3.00(1.4) = $4.20.
