Answer:

b) observing every person walking down Main Street at 5 p.m. one evening to determine the percentage of people who wear glasses.

d) taking a poll in the lunch room (where all students currently have to eat lunch) to determine the number of students who want to be able to leave campus during lunch.

Step-by-step explanation:

These are the two options that are most likely to give you a sample that fairly represents the population. In the first case, the sample that you obtain is likely to be a good representation because Main Street is a road where a great variety of people walk. Moreover, 5 pm is also a time that will allow you to see a great number of different people. The second answer will also give you a good sample, as the poll would include all students in the lunch room, which is all students in the school (the whole population).

Answer:

The final bill will cost $1,250.

Step-by-step explanation:

1000(0.7) = 70

1000(0.18) = 180

1000 + 180 + 70 = 1250

A study of long-distance phone calls made from General Electric Corporate Headquarters in Fairfield, Connecticut, revealed the l

Katena32 [7]

Answer:

(a) The fraction of the calls last between 4.50 and 5.30 minutes is 0.3729.

(b) The fraction of the calls last more than 5.30 minutes is 0.1271.

(c) The fraction of the calls last between 5.30 and 6.00 minutes is 0.1109.

(d) The fraction of the calls last between 4.00 and 6.00 minutes is 0.745.

(e) The time is 5.65 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the mean length of time per call was 4.5 minutes and the standard deviation was 0.70 minutes.

Let X = the length of the calls, in minutes.

So, X ~ Normal( $\mu=4.5,\sigma^{2} =0.70^{2}$ )

The z-score probability distribution for the normal distribution is given by;

Z = $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\mu$ = population mean time = 4.5 minutes

$\sigma$ = standard deviation = 0.7 minutes

(a) The fraction of the calls last between 4.50 and 5.30 minutes is given by = P(4.50 min < X < 5.30 min) = P(X < 5.30 min) - P(X $\leq$ 4.50 min)

P(X < 5.30 min) = P( $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ < $\frac{5.30-4.5}{0.7}$ ) = P(Z < 1.14) = 0.8729

P(X $\leq$ 4.50 min) = P( $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ $\leq$ $\frac{4.5-4.5}{0.7}$ ) = P(Z $\leq$ 0) = 0.50

The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 1.14 and x = 0 in the z table which has an area of 0.8729 and 0.50 respectively.

Therefore, P(4.50 min < X < 5.30 min) = 0.8729 - 0.50 = 0.3729.

(b) The fraction of the calls last more than 5.30 minutes is given by = P(X > 5.30 minutes)

P(X > 5.30 min) = P( $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ > $\frac{5.30-4.5}{0.7}$ ) = P(Z > 1.14) = 1 - P(Z $\leq$ 1.14)

= 1 - 0.8729 = 0.1271

The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 1.14 in the z table which has an area of 0.8729.

(c) The fraction of the calls last between 5.30 and 6.00 minutes is given by = P(5.30 min < X < 6.00 min) = P(X < 6.00 min) - P(X $\leq$ 5.30 min)

P(X < 6.00 min) = P( $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ < $\frac{6-4.5}{0.7}$ ) = P(Z < 2.14) = 0.9838

P(X $\leq$ 5.30 min) = P( $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ $\leq$ $\frac{5.30-4.5}{0.7}$ ) = P(Z $\leq$ 1.14) = 0.8729

The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 2.14 and x = 1.14 in the z table which has an area of 0.9838 and 0.8729 respectively.

Therefore, P(4.50 min < X < 5.30 min) = 0.9838 - 0.8729 = 0.1109.

(d) The fraction of the calls last between 4.00 and 6.00 minutes is given by = P(4.00 min < X < 6.00 min) = P(X < 6.00 min) - P(X $\leq$ 4.00 min)

P(X < 6.00 min) = P( $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ < $\frac{6-4.5}{0.7}$ ) = P(Z < 2.14) = 0.9838

P(X $\leq$ 4.00 min) = P( $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ $\leq$ $\frac{4.0-4.5}{0.7}$ ) = P(Z $\leq$ -0.71) = 1 - P(Z < 0.71)

= 1 - 0.7612 = 0.2388

The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 2.14 and x = 0.71 in the z table which has an area of 0.9838 and 0.7612 respectively.

Therefore, P(4.50 min < X < 5.30 min) = 0.9838 - 0.2388 = 0.745.

(e) We have to find the time that represents the length of the longest (in duration) 5 percent of the calls, that means;

P(X > x) = 0.05 {where x is the required time}

P( $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ > $\frac{x-4.5}{0.7}$ ) = 0.05

P(Z > $\frac{x-4.5}{0.7}$ ) = 0.05

Now, in the z table the critical value of x which represents the top 5% of the area is given as 1.645, that is;

$\frac{x-4.5}{0.7}=1.645$

${x-4.5}{}=1.645 \times 0.7$

x = 4.5 + 1.15 = 5.65 minutes.

SO, the time is 5.65 minutes.

You pull out the plug from the bathtub. After 40 seconds, there are 13 gallons of water left in the tub. One minute after you pu

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

g = -3/20s + 19

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume this is a function

The points are

(40, 13) and (60, 10)

Since it is linear relation, we'll get the slope intercept form

g = ms + b, where g- number of gallons, s- time in seconds, b- y intercept

Using the points, let's calculate the formula

m = (10 - 13)/(60 - 40) = -3/20
10 = -3/20*60 + b
10 = - 9 + b
b = 19

So the formula is:

g = -3/20s + 19
