Answer: 0.0385

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Mean : \mu = 24,787 \text{ dollars per annum }

Variance : \sigma^2=169,744

Standard deviation :  \sigma =\sqrt{169,744}= 412

Sample size : n= 412

To find the probability that the sample mean would differ from the true mean by greater than 42 dollars i.e. less than 24,745 dollars and more than 24,829 dollars.

The formula for z-score :-

z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

For x = 24,745 dollars

z=\dfrac{24745- 24787}{\dfrac{412}{\sqrt{412}}}=-2.07

For x = 24,829 dollars

z=\dfrac{24829- 24787}{\dfrac{412}{\sqrt{412}}}=2.07

The P-value= P(z2.07)=2(P(z>2.07))=2(0.0192262)=0.0384523\approx0.0385

Hence, the required probability = 0.0385

Two different samples will be taken from the same population of test scores where the population mean and standard deviation are
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

The sample consisting of 64 data values would give a greater precision.

Step-by-step explanation:

The width of a (1 - <em>α</em>)% confidence interval for population mean μ is:

\text{Width}=2\cdot z_{\alpha/2}\cdot \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

So, from the formula of the width of the interval it is clear that the width is inversely proportion to the sample size (<em>n</em>).

That is, as the sample size increases the interval width would decrease and as the sample size decreases the interval width would increase.

Here it is provided that two different samples will be taken from the same population of test scores and a 95% confidence interval will be constructed for each sample to estimate the population mean.

The two sample sizes are:

<em>n</em>₁ = 25

<em>n</em>₂ = 64

The 95% confidence interval constructed using the sample of 64 values will have a smaller width than the the one constructed using the sample of 25 values.

Width for n = 25:

\text{Width}=2\cdot z_{\alpha/2}\cdot \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{25}}=\frac{1}{5}\cdot [2\cdot z_{\alpha/2}\cdot \sigma]        

Width for n = 64:

\text{Width}=2\cdot z_{\alpha/2}\cdot \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{64}}=\frac{1}{8}\cdot [2\cdot z_{\alpha/2}\cdot \sigma]

Thus, the sample consisting of 64 data values would give a greater precision

Jenna concludes that (4,9) is the solution to the system of these two equations. which of the following justifies her conclusion
nalin [4]

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

a. The point (4,9) appears in both tables

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>

<u>Note:</u> This question can be solved without the need of the tables

<u>A solution of a system of equations</u> is defined as a point (or set of points) that satisfy both equations

<u>This means that,</u> this point should belong to all the equations in the system

Now, a table is used to show a set of points that belong to a certain line

This means that, all vales in the table belong to the line they represent

<u>Since the point (4,9) appears in both tables</u>, therefore, it belongs to both lines and, therefore, is a solution to the system of equations consisting of these two lines

Hope this helps :)

renu purchased an air conditioner for rs 40500 including 8% VAT. what was the price before including VAT?
jekas [21]

Answer:

₹ 37500

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price before VAT be ₹x.

\therefore \: x + 8 \% \: of \: x = 40500 \\  \therefore \: x +0.08x = 40500 \\  \therefore \: 1.08x  = 40500 \\  \therefore \: x =  \frac{40500}{1.08}  \\ \huge  \red{ \boxed{ \therefore \: x = Rs.  \: 37,500}}

Hence the price before including VAT of air conditioner was ₹ 37,500.

Elena is feeding her neighbor's dogs each dog gets two thirds cup of dog food and she uses three and one third cups of food how
MrRa [10]

Answer:

Total number of dogs is 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cups of food each dog gets=\frac{2}{3}

Here,each dog eats two-third cups of dog food.

Amount of dog food used=\frac{10}{3}

A total of three and one-third cups of food is used up.

Let the number of dogs be x.

To find the number of dogs,divide total dog food used by the amount of dog food eaten by each dog.

Hence,  x  =\frac{\frac{10}{3} }{\frac{2}{3} }

              x  =\frac{10}{2}

               x  =5

The perimeter of the school crossing sign is 102 inches what is the length of each side
Afina-wow [57]
The perimeter of the school crossing sign is 102 inches
length of each side = ?
in the question number of sides is not mentioned, so the answer may vary for the length of each side. if there is 5 sides divide 102 by 5, we get 20.4 answer so in case of 5 sides length of each side is 20.4 inches. if there is 4 sides divide 102 by 4 and we get 25.5 inches answer for the legnth each side.
