Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The minimum sample size needed 64 monthly U.S. rental car mileages.

Step-by-step explanation:

Note: This question is not complete as all the important data are omitted. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:

A consumer advocacy group is doing a large study on car rental practices. Among other things, the consumer group would like to estimate the mean monthly mileage, u, of cars rented in the U.S. over the past year. The consumer group plans to choose a random sample of monthly U.S. rental car mileages and then estimate u using the mean of the sample. Using the value 850 miles per month as the standard deviation of monthly U.S. rental car mileages from the past year, what is the minimum sample size needed in order for the consumer group to be 95% confident that its estimate is within 175 miles per month of u?

The explanation of the answer is now given as follows:

The minimum sample size needed can be calculated using the following sample size formula:

n = ((Z * S) / E)^2 ………………………… (1)

Where:

n = sample size or minimum sample size = ?

Z = Confidence interval at 95% = 1.645

S = Standard deviation = 850

E = Accepted magnitude of error = 175

Substituting all the relevant values into equation (1), we have:

n = ((1.645 * 850) / 175)^2 = (1,398.25 / 175)^2 = 7.99^2 = 63.8401, or 64.

Therefore, the minimum sample size needed 64 monthly U.S. rental car mileages.

The average height of corn stalks in a field is 71 inches with a standard deviation of 4.3 inches. Sketch a normal curve labeling the horizontal axis at one, two, and three standard deviations from the mean.

Answers

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

The empirical rules states that for a normal distribution, 68% of the data falls within one standard deviation from the mean, 95% falls within two standard deviation from the mean and 99.7% falls within three standard deviations from the mean.

Given that:

mean (μ) = 71 inches, standard deviation (σ) = 4.3 inches

One standard deviation = μ ± σ = 71 ± 4.3 = (66.7, 75.3)

Two standard deviation = μ ± 2σ = 71 ± 2*4.3 = (62.4, 79.6)

Three standard deviation = μ ± 3σ = 71 ± 3*4.3 = (58.1, 83.9)

Ida's ice-cream stand has increasing profits each week during the hot summer months. Ida finds that each week during the summer her profits increase by 15% over what they were the previous week. In her first week of business, her profits were $600. How much money will she make in all over 5 weeks?

Answers

Answer:

Ida makes $ 6960 in 5 weeks.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the profit of the first week is p.

p = $ 600

Total profits of the five weeks

= p + (p + 0.15p) + (p + p +0.15 p) + (p + p + p + 0.15 p) + (p + p + p + p + 0.15 p)

= 11 p + 0.6 p

= 11 x 600 + 0.6 x 600

= 6600 + 360

= $ 6960

So, Ida makes $ 6960 in 5 weeks.

John made a small rectangular table for his workroom. If the sides of the table are 32 inches and 26 inches, what should the table measure diagonally?

Answers

Answer:

The table should measure diagonally about 41.23 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the diagonal of a rectangle we use the formula :

[tex]a^{2}[/tex] + [tex]b^{2}[/tex] = [tex]c^{2}[/tex]

A and B both represent the side lengths of the rectangle, while C is the diagonal part. Knowing this formula, let's plug in the values for A and B and see what happens.

[tex]32^{2}[/tex] + [tex]26^{2}[/tex] = [tex]c^{2}[/tex]

1024 + 676 = [tex]c^{2}[/tex]

1700 = [tex]c^{2}[/tex]

The square root of 1700 is (rounded to the hundreth's place) = 41.23

What is the probability that you, Kyle, Carol, and Adam are chosen? Enter a fraction or round your answer to 4 decimal places, if necessary.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Number of employees to choose from = 15

Number of employees to be chosen = 4

Probability of choosing You, Kyle, Carol and Adam

Recall ;

P(A) = number of required outcome / Total possible outcomes

Number of required outcome = 4C4

Total possible outcomes = 15C4

nCr = n! ÷ (n-r)!r!

Using calculator to save computation time :

15C4 = 1365

4C4 = 1

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + (x - 7)^2 = (x + 1)^2

x^2 + x^2 - 14x + 49 = x^2 + 2x + 1

x^2 - 16x + 48 = 0

(x - 4)(x - 12) = 0

x - 4 = 0 or x - 12 = 0

x = 4 or x = 12

One side has length x - 7.

For x = 4, x - 7 = 4 - 7 = -3.

Since a side of a triangle cannot have a negative length, x = 4 must be discarded.

rectangle area = L x W

width = 14

Length = 2*π*r = 14π

"R" is 7, and "h" is 14. Knowing these values, let's solve.
