Assume that the traffic to the web site of Smiley’s People, Inc., which sells customized T-shirts, follows a normal distribution

, with a mean of 4.56 million visitors per day and a standard deviation of 820,000 visitors per day.
(a) What is the probability that the web site has fewer than 5 million visitors in a single day? If needed, round your answer to four decimal digits.(b) What is the probability that the web site has 3 million or more visitors in a single day? If needed, round your answer to four decimal digits.(c) What is the probability that the web site has between 3 million and 4 million visitors in a single day? If needed, round your answer to four decimal digits.(d) Assume that 85% of the time, the Smiley’s People web servers can handle the daily web traffic volume without purchasing additional server capacity. What is the amount of web traffic that will require Smiley’s People to purchase additional server capacity? If needed, round your answer to two decimal digits.

Answer:

(a) 0.7054

(b) 0.9713

(c) 0.2196

(d) The amount of web traffic that will require Smiley’s People to purchase additional server capacity is 3.72.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let <em>X</em> = number of visitors to the web site of Smiley’s People, Inc.

It is provided that X\sim N(\mu = 4.56 mn, \sigma = 0.82mn)

(a)

Determine the value of P (X < 5) as follows:

P (X

Use a <em>z</em>-table to determine the probability.

Thus, the probability that the web site has fewer than 5 million visitors in a single day is 0.7054.

(b)

Determine the value of P (X ≥ 3) as follows:

P (X \geq 3)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}\geq  \frac{3-4.56}{0.82})\\  =P(Z\geq -1.9024)\\=P(Z

Thus, the probability that the web site has 3 million or more visitors in a single day is 0.9713.

(c)

Determine the value of P (3 ≤ X ≤ 4) as follows:

P 93\leq X\leq 4)=P(X\leq 4) - P(X\leq 3)\\=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}\leq  \frac{4-4.56}{0.82})-P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}\leq  \frac{3-4.56}{0.82}) \\=P(Z\leq -0.683)-P(Z\leq -1.9024)\\=0.2483-0.0287\\=0.2196

Thus, the probability that the web site has between 3 million and 4 million visitors in a single day is 0.2196.

(d)

The probability that Smiley's web server will require to purchase additional server capacity is = 1 - 0.85 = 0.15.

That is, P (X > x) = 0.15.

Determine the value of <em>x</em> as follows;

P(X

Using the <em>z</em> tables the value of <em>z</em> such that P (Z < z) = 0.15 is -1.03.

Then the value of <em>x</em> is:

\frac{x-4.56}{0.82}=-1.03\\ x=4.56-(1.03\times0.82)\\=3.7154\\\approx3.72

Thus, the amount of web traffic that will require Smiley’s People to purchase additional server capacity is 3.72.

You have a coupon for a local craft store that is for 40% off one item. You would like to purchase a glue gun for $8.99 and a ba
Yanka [14]

Answer:

$26.06

Step-by-step explanation:

You would like to purchase a glue gun for $8.99 and a basket for $25.99. The highest-priced item is a basket for $25.99. So, the coupon will take the discount off for this item.

The new price of the basket is

\$25.99\cdot (1-0.4)=\$25.99\cdot 0.6=\$15.594

The total cost of your buying  is

\$8.99+\$15.594=\$25.584

There will be a 6% sales tax added to the price of all items. So, the end cost is

\$25.584\cdot (1+0.06)=\$25.584\cdot 1.06=\$26.05904\approx \$26.06

A middle school band has 45 sixth and seventh graders The ratio of sixth to seventh graders is 2 to 3 how many sixth graders are
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

  18

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 2+3 = 5 ratio units representing 45 band members, so each ratio unit represents 45/5 = 9 band members.

The 2 ratio units of sixth graders represent 2×9 = 18 sixth grade band members.

Julia went into a movie theater and bought 2 bags of popcorn and 5 pretzels, costing
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

A bag of pop corn costs $8, and each Pretzel costs $4.25.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let b be the price of popcorn, and p the price of Pretzels. If the girl bought 2 bags of popcorn and 5 Pretzels and it cost her $37.25, we have the equation

2b+5p=37.25  <em>(this says that the cost of 2 popcorn bags plus 5 pretzels equals $37.25)</em> .

And, since Zoe bought 8 popcorn bags and 9 Pretzels with a total price of $102.25, we get the equation

8b+9p=102.25<em> (this says that the cost of 8 popcorn bags plus 9 Pretzels equals $102.25).</em>

Thus, we have two equations

1. 2b+5p=37.25

2. 8b+9p=102.25

and we solve them by first multiplying equation (1) by 4:

4(2b+5p=37.25 )\rightarrow (8b+20p=149),

and then subtracting it from equation (2):

\:\:\:\:\: 8b+9p=102.25\\-(8b+20p=149)\\\line(1,0){3 cm}\\-11p=-46.75\\\\\boxed{p=\$4.25}

Now we put this value of p into equation (1) and get:

2b+5(4.25)=37.25

and we solve for b to get:

2b=37.25-21.5

\boxed{ b=8}

Therefore, a bag of popcorn costs $8, and each Pretzel costs $4.25.
