Recent studies indicate that the typical 50-year-old woman spends $350 per year for personal-care products. The distribution of

the amounts spent follows a normal distribution with a standard deviation of $45 per year. We select a random sample of 40 women. The mean amount spent for those sampled is $335.

Answer:

P ( x_bar > 335 ) = 0.9826

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

- Mean amount u = 350

- standard deviation s.d = 45/year

- Sample size n = 40

Find:

- The probability of sample mean P( x_bar > 335 )

Solution:

- P ( x_bar > 335 ) = P ( Z > sqrt(n)*(x_bar - u)/s.d)

                             = P ( Z > sqrt(40)*(335-350)/45)

                             = P ( Z > -2.111) = P ( Z < 2.111)

                             =  0.5 + P( 0 < Z < 2.111)

                              = 0.5 + 0.4826

                             = 0.9826

Since the probability of failure is an independent event, this follows a Poisson distribution, where the mean is 8.8 and the given x = 4:
P(k) = \frac{e^{-\lambda}(\lambda)^{k}}{k!} \\ P(4) = \frac{e^{-8.8}(8.8)^{4}}{4!} = 0.0377

Lucia tried to solve the system below. What error did she make?
AysviL [449]
Lucia made a mistake when she rewrote the formula
x - 2y = - 2

To rewrite the formula to x is a function of y. we have to add 2y to both sides of the formula. Instead of adding 2y, Lucia subtracted 2y from the right side.

Instead of what she did, x should be written the following way
x = 2y - 2

Suppose that a is a square matrix with characteristic polynomial (λ − 3)2(λ − 6)3(λ + 1). (a) what are the dimensions of a? (giv
Gnesinka [82]

The problem statement gives the correct answers for parts (a) and (b). The total number of roots of the characteristic polynomial is the dimension of the matrix: 6. The eigenvalues are the zeros of the characteristic polynomial, 3 (multiplicity 2), 6 (multiplicity 3), and -1.

(c) The matrix is not invertible when one or more eigenvalues is zero. None of yours are zero, so the matrix is invertible.

Drag the values to order them from least to greatest, with the least at the top. Item 2 moved to position 3. 79 − − √ + 63 − − √
Nonamiya [84]

\sqrt{63} \\ \\ \sqrt{79}  \\ \\ \sqrt{143} \\ \\ 4\pi

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

As I understand, in this exercise, we have the following numbers:

\text{Number 1}=\sqrt{79} \\ \\ \text{Number 2}=\sqrt{63} \\ \\ \text{Number 3}=\sqrt{143} \\ \\ \text{Number 4}=4\pi

By using calculator, let's convert those numbers into decimal form:

\text{Number 1} \approx 8.88\\ \\ \text{Number 2} \approx 7.93 \\ \\ \text{Number 3} \approx 11.96 \\ \\ \text{Number 4} \approx 12.56

So arranging from least to greatest we have:

\text{Number 2} \\ \\ \text{Number 1} \\ \\ \text{Number 3} \\ \\ \text{Number 2}

Put another way:

\sqrt{63} \\ \\ \sqrt{79}  \\ \\ \sqrt{143} \\ \\ 4\pi

Consider the set of differences, denoted with d, between two dependent sets: 84, 85, 83, 63, 61, 100, 98. Find the sample standa
sveta [45]

Answer:

The sample standard deviation is 15.3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data items,

84, 85, 83, 63, 61, 100, 98,

Number of data items, N = 7,

Let x represents the data item,

Mean of the data points,

\bar{x}=\frac{84+85+83+63+61+100+98}{7}

=82

Hence, sample standard deviation would be,

\sigma= \sqrt{\frac{1}{N-1}\sum_{i=1}^{N} (x_i-\bar{x})^2}

=\sqrt{\frac{1}{6}\sum_{i=1}^{7} (x_i-82)^2}

=\sqrt{\frac{1}{6}\times 1396}

=\sqrt{232.666666667}

=15.2534149182

\approx 15.3
