A store, on average, has 500 customers per day.
a) what can be said about the probability that it will have at least 700 customers on a given day?
from now on, suppose in addition that the variance of the numbers of customers per day is 100.
b) what can be said about the probability that it will have at least 700 customers on a given day?
c) what can be said about the probability that there will be more than 475 and less than 525 customers on a given day?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) We can not estimate the probability.

b) Zero probability.

c) There is a probability between 95% and 99% that they have between 475 and 525 customers on a given day.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) We can not said nothing because we only know the average of customers per day. We need to know the probability distribution of the amount of customers per day to answer this question.

b) Now that we know that the variance is 100, although we do not know the exact distribution of the values, we can use the empirical rules to estimate the probability of having at least 700 customers on a given day.

If the variance is 100, the standard deviation is √100=10.

Applying the empirical rule (68-95-99.7 rule), we know that there is probability 0.15% of having at least 500+3*10=530 customers per day (more than 3 deviations from the mean).

Then, we can conclude that the probability of having at least 700 customers per day is zero.

c) To estimate this probability, we have to calculate how many deviations from the mean this values represent:

[tex]\Delta_1=475-500=-25=2.5\sigma\\\\\Delta_2=525-500=25=2.5\sigma[/tex]

We have an interval that have a width of ±2.5 deviations from the mean.

For 2 deviations from the mean, it is expected to have 95% of the data.

For 3 deviations from the mean, it is expected to have 99.7% of the data.

Then, for the interval 475 to 525, we can estimate a probability between 95% and 99%.

g A two-tailed test is one where: Select one: a. results in only one direction can lead to rejection of the null hypothesis b. negative sample means lead to rejection of the null hypothesis c. results in either of two directions can lead to rejection of the null hypothesis d. no results lead to the rejection of the null hypothesis

Answers

Answer:

c. results in either of two directions can lead to rejection of the null hypothesis.

Step-by-step explanation:

A two tailed test is performed when we want to test if there is statistically significant difference from the null state. That means that if the statistic value is significantly higher or significantly lower, we will reject the null hypothesis. Both tails have rejection areas.

Alligators captured in Florida are found to have a mean length of 2 meters and a standard deviation of 0.35 meters. The lengths of alligators are believed to be approximately normally distributed. What percent of alligators have lengths greater than 2.2 meters?

Answers

Answer:

28.43% of alligators have lengths greater than 2.2 meters

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 = 2, \sigma = 0.35[/tex]

What percent of alligators have lengths greater than 2.2 meters?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 2.2. So

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

[tex]Z = \frac{2.2 - 2}{0.35}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.57[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.57[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.7157

1 - 0.7157 = 0.2843

28.43% of alligators have lengths greater than 2.2 meters

A spinner is divided into 8 equal sections, and each section contains a number from 1 to 8. What is the probability of the spinner landing on 5? A. 1 over 13 B.1 over 8 C.5 over 13 D.5 over 8 PLEASE HURRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answers

Answer:

B.   1 over 8

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the probability of the spinner landing on 5, we need to first know what probability is,

probability = required outcome/all possible outcome

since the spinner is divided into 8 equal sections and each section contains number from 1-8, this implies there are total of 64 numbers on the spinner.  This implies that all possible outcome = 64

In each section there is 5, since there are 8 sections on the spinner, the number of 5's on the spinner are 8.

This implies that the required outcome = 8

but

probability = required outcome/all possible outcome

probability (of the spinner landing on 5) = 8/64    =1/8

Two airplanes leave an airport at the same time, flying in the same direction. One plane is flying at twice the speed of the other. If after 4 hours they are 1800 km apart, find the speed of each plane.

Answers

Answer:

One plane has a speed of 450 km/h and the other has a speed of 900 km/h.

Step-by-step explanation:

I am going to say that:

The speed of the first plane is x.

The speed of the second plane is y.

One plane is flying at twice the speed of the other.

I will say that y = 2x. We could also say that x = 2y.

Two airplanes leave an airport at the same time, flying in the same direction

They fly in the same direction, so their relative speed(difference) at the end of each hour is y - x = 2x - x = x.

If after 4 hours they are 1800 km apart, find the speed of each plane

After 1 hour, they will be x km apart. After 4, 1800. So

1 hour - x km apart

4 hours - 1800 km apart

4x = 1800

x = 1800/4

x = 450

2x = 2*450 = 900

One plane has a speed of 450 km/h and the other has a speed of 900 km/h.

A student takes a multiple-choice test that has 11 questions. Each question has five choices. The student guesses randomly at each answer. Let X be the number of questions answered correctly. (a) Find P (6). (b) Find P (More than 3). Round the answers to at least four decimal places.

Answers

Answer:

a) P(6) = 0.0097

b) P(More than 3) = 0.1611

Step-by-step explanation:

For each question, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is guessed correctly, or it is not. Questions are independent of each other. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

And p is the probability of X happening.

A student takes a multiple-choice test that has 11 questions.

This means that [tex]n = 11[/tex]

Each question has five choices.

This means that [tex]p = \frac{1}{5} = 0.2[/tex]

(a) Find P (6)

This is P(X = 6).

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 6) = C_{11,6}.(0.2)^{6}.(0.8)^{5} = 0.0097[/tex]

P(6) = 0.0097

(b) Find P (More than 3).

Either P is 3 or less, or it is more than three. The sum of the probabilities of these outcomes is 1. So

[tex]P(X \leq 3) + P(X > 3) = 1[/tex]

We want P(X > 3). So

[tex]P(X > 3) = 1 - P(X \leq 3)[/tex]

In which

[tex]P(X \leq 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3)[/tex]

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{11,0}.(0.2)^{0}.(0.8)^{11} = 0.0859[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 1) = C_{11,1}.(0.2)^{1}.(0.8)^{10} = 0.2362[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 2) = C_{11,2}.(0.2)^{2}.(0.8)^{9} = 0.2953[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 3) = C_{11,3}.(0.2)^{3}.(0.8)^{8} = 0.2215[/tex]

[tex]P(X \leq 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) = 0.0859 + 0.2362 + 0.2953 + 0.2215 = 0.8389[/tex]

Then

[tex]P(X > 3) = 1 - P(X \leq 3) = 1 - 0.8389 = 0.1611[/tex]

P(More than 3) = 0.1611

You are conducting a study to see if the proportion of men over the age of 50 who regularly have their prostate examined is significantly less than 0.3. A random sample of 735 men over the age of 50 found that 203 have their prostate regularly examined. Do the sample data provide convincing evidence to support the claim

Answers

Answer:

[tex]z=\frac{0.276 -0.3}{\sqrt{\frac{0.3(1-0.3)}{735}}}=-1.42[/tex]  

Now we can claculate the p value with this formula:

[tex]p_v =P(z<-1.42)=0.0778[/tex]  

If we use a signifiacn level of 5% we see that the p value is higher than 0.05 so then we have enough evidence to fail to reject the null hypothesis and we can't conclude that the true proportion is significantly higher than 0.3 at 5% of significance.

Step-by-step explanation:

Information to given

n=735 represent the random sample taken

X=203 represent the number of people who have their prostate regularly examined

[tex]\hat p=\frac{203}{735}=0.276[/tex] estimated proportion of people who have their prostate regularly examined  

[tex]p_o=0.3[/tex] is the value to verify

z would represent the statistic

[tex]p_v[/tex] represent the p value

System of hypothesis

We want to test if the true proportion is less than 0.3, the ystem of hypothesis are.:  

Null hypothesis:[tex]p \geq 0.3[/tex]  

Alternative hypothesis:[tex]p < 0.3[/tex]  

The statistic is given by:

[tex]z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}}[/tex] (1)  

Replacing the info we got:

[tex]z=\frac{0.276 -0.3}{\sqrt{\frac{0.3(1-0.3)}{735}}}=-1.42[/tex]  

Now we can claculate the p value with this formula:

[tex]p_v =P(z<-1.42)=0.0778[/tex]  

If we use a signifiacn level of 5% we see that the p value is higher than 0.05 so then we have enough evidence to fail to reject the null hypothesis and we can't conclude that the true proportion is significantly higher than 0.3 at 5% of significance.
