Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to determine a 95% confidence interval for the mean salary of all graduates from the English department.

Number of sample, n = 400

Mean, u = $25,000

Standard deviation, s = $2,500

For a confidence level of 95%, the corresponding z value is 1.96. This is determined from the normal distribution table.

We will apply the formula

Confidence interval

= mean ± z × standard deviation/√n

It becomes

25000 ± 1.96 × 2500/√400

= 25000 ± 1.96 × 125

= 25000 ± 245

The lower end of the confidence interval is 25000 - 245 =24755

The upper end of the confidence interval is 25000 + 245 = 25245

Therefore, with 95% confidence interval, the mean salary of all graduates from the English department is between $24755 and $25245

A coin will be flipped repeatedly until the sequence TTH (tail/tail/head) comes up. Successive flips are independent, and the co
padilas [110]

Answer:

P = \frac{1}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

The calculation of the value of p minimizes is shown below:-

We will assume the probability of coming heads be p

p(H) = p

p(T) = 1 - P

Now, H and T are only outcomes of flipping a coin

So,

P(TTH) = (1 - P) = (1 - P) (1 - P) P

= (1 + P^2 - 2 P) P

= P^3 - 2P^2 + P

In order to less N,TTH

we need to increase P(TTH)

The equation will be

\frac{d P(TTH)}{dP} = 0

3P^2 - 4P + 1 = 0

(3P - 1) (P - 1) = 0

P = 1 and 1 ÷ 3

For P(TTH) to be maximum

\frac{d^2 P(TTH)}{dP} < 0 for\ P\ critical\\\\\frac{d (3P^2 - 4P - 1)}{dP}

= 6P - 4

and

(6P - 4) is negative which is for

P = \frac{1}{3}

Olin [163]

This question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

Suppose in the next year, 2007, College D's expenses and enrollment remain about the same, but in addition to their current revenues, they receive an additional $50,000,000 grant. This would allow them to reduce average tuition by how much?

A) $1388.89

B) $3571.43

C) $5555.56

D) $9500.00

E) $25888.89

number of students = 36,000

Answer: A) $

1388.89

Step-by-step explanation:

the college received additional grant which is $50,000,000

and the number of students is 36,000,

and we also know that expenses and enrollment remained the same.

So if we have more money (grants) and nothing changed (expenses remain the same)

dividing the grant by the number of students will show just how much the average tuition fee would be reduced

therefore R = G/n

R = 50,000,000 / 36000

R = 1,388.888 ≈  $1388.89

Surface-finish defects in a small electric appliance occur at random with a mean rate of 0.3 defects per unit. find the probabil
mario62 [17]

Answer: Probability that a randomly selected unit will contain at least two surface- finish defect is 0.04.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Mean rate defects per unit = 0.3

Since we will use "Poisson distribution":

P(X=K)=\frac{e^{-\lambda}\lambda^k}{k!}

But we need to find the probability that a randomly selected unit will contain at least two surface-finish defect.

P(X\geq 2)=1+P(X=0)+P(X=1)

So,

P(X=0)=\frac{e^{-0.3}0.3^0}{0!}=e^{-0.3}=0.74\\\\P(X=1)=\frac{e^{-0.3}\times 0.3}{1}=0.22

so, it becomes,

P(X>2)=1-(0.74+0.22)=1-0.96=0.04

Hence, probability that a randomly selected unit will contain at least two surface- finish defect is 0.04.
