The XO Group Inc. conducted a survey of 13,000 brides and grooms married in the United States and found that the average cost of

a wedding is $29,858 (XO Group website, January 5, 2015). Assume that the cost of a wedding is normally distributed with a mean of $29,858 and a standard deviation of $5600.
a. What is the probability that a wedding costs less than $20,000 (to 4 decimals)?
b. What is the probability that a wedding costs between $20,000 and $30,000 (to 4 decimals)?
c. For a wedding to be among the 5% most expensive, how much would it have to cost (to the nearest whole number)?

Answer:

0.0392,0.4709, 38083

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that XO Group Inc. conducted a survey of 13,000 brides and grooms married in the United States and found that the average cost of a wedding is $29,858

X is N(29,858, 5600)

Or Z=\frac{x-29158}{5600} is N*(0,1)

We can use std normal distribution table to get the probabilities

a) The probability that a wedding costs less than $20,000 (to 4 decimals)

= P(X

=0.0392

b) the probability that a wedding costs between $20,000 and $30,000

=0.5101-0.0392\\=0.4709

c) For a wedding to be among the 5% most expensive, how much would it have to cost (to the nearest whole number)

=29858+1.645*5600\\=38083

anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

1,496 new car buyers

Step-by-step explanation:

The sample size n in Simple Random Sampling is given by

\bf n=\frac{z^2p(1-p)}{e^2}

where  

z = 1.645 is the critical value for a 90% confidence level (*)

p= 0.33 is the population proportion.

e = 0.02 is the margin of error

so  

\bf n=\frac{(1.645)^20.33*0.67}{0.02^2}=1,495.76\approx 1,496

<em>(*)</em><em>This is a point z such that the area under the Normal curve N(0,1) inside the interval [-z, z] equals 90% = 0.9</em>

It can be obtained in Excel or OpenOffice Calc with

<em>NORMSINV(0.95)</em>

Jamal will slice a right circular cylinder into two congruent pieces. Which two dimensional plane sections could result from the
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

An ellipse and a rectangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

If Jamal cuts the right circular cylinder anywhere but its extremities, the resulting shapes on both pieces will be an ellipse.  

If he cuts precisely in a perpendicular way in relation to the ends, he will then form two new right circular cylinders, then the ellipses obtained would be circles.

If Jamal cuts the right circular cylinder lengthwise, going from one end to the other, even if it's not perpendicular to the base, he will obtain a rectangular shape.

2. Two points [ When circle cuts the parabola in two distinct points. ]

3. Three points [Circle just touches at one point and cuts the parabola in two distinct points]

4. Four points [ Either parabola or circle meeting each other or crossing at four distinct points]

Iesha’s quality-control manager told her she must have 97% of her clocks functioning properly. She found a report that said 6 ou
german

Answer:

  • Keisha’s experimental probability is 1/50.
  • When the inventory is 4000 clocks, the prediction is that 3920 clocks will work.
  • Keisha will have more than 97% of the products working.

Step-by-step explanation:

These are three prediction that Keisha can make based on the report that said 6 of 300 clocks tested weren't working.

Base on that information, Keisha can calculate an experimental probability, dividing <em>clocks that don't work properly </em>by <em>the total amount of clocks</em><em>:</em>

<em>P_{clocks} = \frac{6}{300}=\frac{1}{50} = 0.02 (or 2\%)</em>

Therefore, the probability of success is 100% - 2% = 98%.

This means that Keisha has a probability of having 98% of all clocks functioning properly. So, she can make the prediction:<em> from 4000 clocks, 3920 will work. </em>Also, she can predict that she will actually have more than 97% working, because the experimental probability is higher than that.
