A recent survey by the American Automobile Association showed that a family of two adults and two children on vacation in the Un

ited States will pay an average of $247 per day for food and lodging with a standard deviation of $60 per day. Assuming the data are normally distributed, find, to the nearest hundredth, the z-scores for each of the following vacation expense amounts. $197 per day. $277 per day. $310 per day.

Answer: We are given:

\mu=247,\sigma=60

We need to find the z scores for the following vacation expense amounts:

$197, $277, $310

We know that z score formula is:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

When x = 197, the z score is:

z=\frac{197-247}{60}

        =\frac{-50}{60}

        =-0.83

When x = 277, the z score is:

z=\frac{277-247}{60}

        =\frac{30}{60}

        =0.5

When x = 310, the z score is:

z=\frac{310-247}{60}

        =\frac{63}{60}

        =1.05

Therefore, the z scores for the vacation expense amounts $197 per day, $277 per day, and $310 per day are -0.83, 0.5 and 1.05 respectively

Answer:

We are given:

\mu=247,\sigma=60μ=247,σ=60

We need to find the z scores for the following vacation expense amounts:

197,197,277, $310

We know that z score formula is:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}z=

x−μ

When x = 197x=197 , the z score is:

z=\frac{197-247}{60}z=

197−247

=\frac{-50}{60}=

=-0.83=−0.83

When x = 277x=277 , the z score is:

z=\frac{277-247}{60}z=

277−247

=\frac{30}{60}=

When x = 310x=310 , the z score is:

z=\frac{310-247}{60}z=

=1.05=1.05

Therefore, the z scores for the vacation expense amounts 197 per day,197perday,277 per day, and $310 per day are -0.83, 0.5 and 1.05 respective

Bingel [31]

Answer:

We need a sample size of at least 719

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our \alpha level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

\alpha = \frac{1-0.95}{2} = 0.025

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of 1-\alpha.

So it is z with a pvalue of 1-0.025 = 0.975, so z = 1.96

Now, find the margin of error M as such

M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In which \sigma is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

How large a sample size is required to vary population mean within 0.30 seat of the sample mean with 95% confidence interval?

This is at least n, in which n is found when M = 0.3, \sigma = 4.103. So

M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

0.3 = 1.96*\frac{4.103}{\sqrt{n}}

0.3\sqrt{n} = 1.96*4.103

\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96*4.103}{0.3}

(\sqrt{n})^{2} = (\frac{1.96*4.103}{0.3})^{2}

n = 718.57

grin007 [14]
For this case what we can do is the following rule of three:
 24.3 -----> 130%
 x ---------> 100%
 We clear the value of x:
 x = (100/130) * (24.3)
 x = 18.7 grams
 Answer:
 
the current mass of the object was:
 
x = 18.7 grams

sveta [45]

Answer:

  C. (2, 6] hour jobs cost $100

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's consider each of these statements in view of the graph:

  1. A cleaning time of 2 hours will cost $100. -- The closed circle at (2, 50) tells you the cost of a 2-hour job is $50, not $100.
  2. A cleaning time of 6 hours will cost $150. -- The closed circle at (6, 100) tells you the cost of a 6-hour job is $100, not $150.
  3. Cost is a fixed rate of $100 for jobs requiring more than 2 hours, up to a maximum of 6 hours. -- The line between the open circle at (2, 100) and the closed circle at (6, 100) tells you this is TRUE.
  4. Cost is a fixed rate of $200 for jobs that require at least 6 hours. -- "At least 6 hours" means "greater than or equal to 6 hours." The closed circle at (6, 100) means a 6-hour job is $100, not $200.

A machine takes 5.4 hours to make 9 parts. At that rate how many parts can the machine make in 25.8 hours
Sliva [168]
\frac{5.4}{9} = \frac{25.8}{x}    Cross multiply.

5.4x=9*25.8

5.4x=232.2    Divide both sides by 5.4
