The Ruiz family is exchanging euros for US dollars. The exchange rate is 1 euro equals 1.35261 USD. Since the Ruiz family knows

that USD are stated to the nearest hundredth of a dollar, they used the conversion ratio. Will this give the Ruiz family the correct exchange? Explain.

No, it should not give exactly the right amount because numbers will have to be rounded because US dollars only go to the hundredths place making the final number slightly different than the exact value would be.

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

By rounding the conversion ratio, the Ruiz family will not be getting the most accurate answer. Using the more accurate conversion ratio will give an answer with more than 2 decimal places so the answer can accurately be rounded after the conversion.

Zenaida is shopping and wants to purchase a $320 stereo system. The store is offering an incentive of 10 to 30 percent off when
lesantik [10]

The stereo system costs $256.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Cost of the stereo system = $320.  

The discount Zenaida received = 20%.  

To Find:

Cost of the stereo system after the discount=?

Solution:

Step1:  Finding the discount amount:

Discount percentage =20

Discount amount = original cost × discount percent

Substituting the values,

\text { Discount amount }=320 \times 20 \%

\text { Discount amount }=320 \times \frac{20}{100}

\text { Discount amount }=320 \times \frac{1}{5}

\text { Discount amount }=320 \times 0.2

\text { Discount amount }=64

Step 2: Removing the discounted amount from the original price

Final cost of the stereo system =original cost of the stereo system –discount amount

Substituting the values we get,

Final cost=320-64

Final cost=256

Result:

Thus the cost of the stereo system after discount is $256

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Tammy has planted a small, young tree in her yard. To allow for the tree’s growth, she needs 15 feet in all directions around th
astraxan [27]

Answer:

First, remember that a circle of radius R centered in the point (a, b) can be written as:

(x - a)^2 + (y - b)^2  = R^2

Suppose that we can model the yard as a rectangular coordinate axis.

And the tree is planted in the point (a, b)

If we want to have 15 feet in all directions around the base of the tree (15 ft around the point (a, b))

The section that must remain unplanted is:

(x - a)^2 + (y - b)^2   ≤ R^2

Where the ≤ symbol is used because all the interior of the circle must remain unplanted (border included)

"Majesty Video Production Inc. wants the mean length of its advertisements to be 30 seconds. Assume the distribution of ad lengt
Westkost [7]

Answer:

a) \bar X \sim N(\mu=30, \frac{2}{\sqrt{16}})

b) Se=\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}=\frac{2}{\sqrt{16}}=0.5

c) P(\bar X >31.25)=0.006=0.6\%

d) P(\bar X >28.25)=0.9997=99.97\%

e) P(28.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".  

The central limit theorem states that "if we have a population with mean μ and standard deviation σ and take sufficiently large random samples from the population with replacement, then the distribution of the sample means will be approximately normally distributed. This will hold true regardless of whether the source population is normal or skewed, provided the sample size is sufficiently large".

Let X the random variabl length of advertisements produced by Majesty Video Production Inc. We know from the problem that the distribution for the random variable X is given by:

X\sim N(\mu =30,\sigma =2)

We take a sample of n=16 . That represent the sample size.

a. What can we say about the shape of the distribution of the sample mean time?

From the central limit theorem we know that the distribution for the sample mean \bar X is also normal and is given by:

\bar X \sim N(\mu, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})

\bar X \sim N(\mu=30, \frac{2}{\sqrt{16}})

b. What is the standard error of the mean time?

The standard error is given by this formula:

Se=\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}=\frac{2}{\sqrt{16}}=0.5

c. What percent of the sample means will be greater than 31.25 seconds?

In order to answer this question we can use the z score in order to find the probabilities, the formula given by:

z=\frac{\bar X- \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

And we want to find this probability:

P(\bar X >31.25)=1-P(\bar X

d. What percent of the sample means will be greater than 28.25 seconds?

In order to answer this question we can use the z score in order to find the probabilities, the formula is given by:

z=\frac{\bar X- \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

And we want to find this probability:

P(\bar X >28.25)=1-P(\bar X

e. What percent of the sample means will be greater than 28.25 but less than 31.25 seconds?"

We want this probability:

P(28.25
