a. A CD is discounted by 10%, and then from the already discounted price, a further 15% discount is given. If the price now is $12.93, find the original price.

b. What is the total discount percent as compared to the original price?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

  a. $16.90

  b. 23.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

a. After the two discounts, the original price is multiplied by ...

  (1 -10%)(1 -15%) = 0.90×0.85 = 0.765

Then the original price is found from ...

  $12.93 = 0.765 × original price

  original price = $12.93 / 0.765 ≈ $16.90

__

b. The effective discount from the original price is ...

  1 -0.765 = 0.235 = 23.5%

2) 0.0465 = 4.65% probability that a random sample of 20 pregnancies has a mean gestation period of 260 days or less.

3) 0.004 = 0.4% probability that a random sample of 50 pregnancies has a mean gestation period of 260 days or less.

4) 0.9844 = 98.44% probability a random sample of size 15 will have a mean gestation period within 10 days of the mean.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve these questions, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

The height, X, of all 3-year-old females is approximately normally distributed with mean 38.72 inches and standard deviation 3.17 inches.

This means that [tex]\mu = 38.72, \sigma = 3.17[/tex]

Sample of 10:

This means that [tex]n = 10, s = \frac{3.17}{\sqrt{10}}[/tex]

Compute the probability that a simple random sample of size n= 10 results in a sample mean greater than 40 inches.

This is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 40. So

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

By the Central Limit Theorem

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{40 - 38.72}{\frac{3.17}{\sqrt{10}}}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.28[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.28[/tex] has a p-value of 0.8997

1 - 0.8997 = 0.1003

0.1003 = 10.03% probability that a simple random sample of size n= 10 results in a sample mean greater than 40 inches.

Gestation periods:

[tex]\mu = 266, \sigma = 16[/tex]

1. What is the probability a randomly selected pregnancy lasts less than 260 days?

This is the p-value of Z when X = 260. So

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{260 -  266}{16}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.375[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.375[/tex] has a p-value of 0.3539.

0.3539 = 35.39% probability a randomly selected pregnancy lasts less than 260 days.

2. What is the probability that a random sample of 20 pregnancies has a mean gestation period of 260 days or less?

Now [tex]n = 20[/tex], so:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{260 - 266}{\frac{16}{\sqrt{20}}}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.68[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.68[/tex] has a p-value of 0.0465.

0.0465 = 4.65% probability that a random sample of 20 pregnancies has a mean gestation period of 260 days or less.

3. What is the probability that a random sample of 50 pregnancies has a mean gestation period of 260 days or less?

Now [tex]n = 50[/tex], so:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{260 - 266}{\frac{16}{\sqrt{50}}}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2.65[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2.65[/tex] has a p-value of 0.0040.

0.004 = 0.4% probability that a random sample of 50 pregnancies has a mean gestation period of 260 days or less.

4. What is the probability a random sample of size 15 will have a mean gestation period within 10 days of the mean?

Sample of size 15 means that [tex]n = 15[/tex]. This probability is the p-value of Z when X = 276 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 256.

X = 276

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{276 - 266}{\frac{16}{\sqrt{15}}}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2.42[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2.42[/tex] has a p-value of 0.9922.

X = 256

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{256 - 266}{\frac{16}{\sqrt{15}}}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2.42[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2.42[/tex] has a p-value of 0.0078.

0.9922 - 0.0078 = 0.9844

0.9844 = 98.44% probability a random sample of size 15 will have a mean gestation period within 10 days of the mean.

Yes, events A and B are mutually exclusive. Because the results can either be even or odd, not both. No, events B and C are not mutually exclusive because the result can be both, odd and prime.

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

In order to solve part a of the problem, we need to find the possible outcomes, in this case, the possible outcomes are:

{3,5}{3,10} and {5,10}

We could think of the oppsite order, for example {5,3}{10,3}{10,5} but these are basically the same as the previous outcomes, so we will just take three outcomes in our sample space. We can think of it as drawing the two chips at the same time.

b)

Now the probability of the sum of the chips to be even. There is only one outcome where the sum of the chips is even, {3,5} since 3+5=8 the other outcomes will give us an odd number, so:

[tex]P=\frac{#desired}{#possible}[/tex]

[tex]P(A)=\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

c) For the probability of the sum of the chips to be odd, there are two outcomes where the sum of the chips is odd, {3,10} since 3+10=13 and {5,10} since 5+10=15 the other outcomes will give us an even number, so:

[tex]P(B)=\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

d) The probability of the sum of the chips is prime. There is only one outcome where the sum of the chips is prime, {3,10} since 3+10=13 the other outcomes will give us non prime results, so:

[tex]P(C)=\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

e) The probability of the sum of the chips to be even and prime. There are no results where we can get an even and prime number, since the only even and prime number there is is number 2 and no outcome will give us that number, so:

P(A and C)=0

f) The probability of the sum of the chips is even or odd. We can either get even or odd results, so no matter what outcome we get, we will get an odd or even result so:

[tex]P(A or B)=1[/tex]

g) The probability of the sum of the chips is odd and prime. There is only one outcome where the sum of the chips is odd and prime, {3,10} since 3+10=13 the other outcomes will give us non prime results, so:

[tex]P(B and C)=\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

h) The probability of the sum of the chips is even or prime. There are two outcomes where the sum of the chips is even or prime, {3,10} since 3+10=13 and {3,5} since 3+5=8 so:

[tex]P(A or C)=\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

i) The probability of the sum of the chips is prime given that the sum of the chips is odd. There are two possible results where the sum of the chips is odd {3,10} and {5,10} and only one of those results is even, {3,10}, so

[tex]P(C given B)=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

j) The probability of the sum of the chips is prime given that the sum of the chips is even. There is only one possible even result: {3,5} but that result isn't prime, so

[tex]P(C given A)=0[/tex]

k) The probability of the sum of the chips is not odd. There is only one outcome where the sum of the chips is not odd (even), {3,5} so:

[tex]P(not B)=\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

l) The probability of the sum of the chips is not prime. There are two outcomes where the sum of the chips is not prime, {3,5} and {5,10} so:

[tex]P(not C)=\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

Are events A and B mutually exclusive?

Yes, events A and B are mutually exclusive.

Why or why not?

Because the results can either be even or odd, not both.

Are events B and C mutually exclusive?

No, events B and C are not mutually exclusive.

Why or Why not?

Because the result can be both, odd and prime.

Write a polynomial f (x) that satisfies the given conditions. Polynomial of lowest degree with zeros of -4 (multiplicity 3), 1 (multiplicity 1), and with f(0) = 320.​

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Polynomial f(x) has the following conditions: zeros of -4 (multiplicity 3), 1 (multiplicity 1), and with f(0) = 320.

The first part zeros of -4 means (x+4) and multiplicity 3 means (x+4)^3.

The second part zeros of 1 means (x-1) and multiplicity 1 means (x-1).

The third part f(0) = 320 means substituting x=0 into (x+4)^3*(x-1)*k =320

(0+4)^3*(0-1)*k = 320

-64k = 320

k = -5

Combining all three conditions, f(x)

= -5(x+4)^3*(x-1)

= -5(x^3 + 3*4*x^2 + 3*4*4*x + 4^3)(x-1)

= -5(x^4 + 12x^3 + 48x^2 + 64x - x^3 - 12x^2 - 48x - 64)

= -5(x^4 + 11x^3 + 36x^2 + 16x -64)

= -5x^3 -55x^3 - 180x^2 - 80x + 320

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

-4 is a root for 3 times and 1 is root for once

so (x+4)^3 * (x-1) is part of f(x)

the constant term there is 4^3*(-1)=-64

so there is a multiplier of 320/-64=-5

f(x) = -5 * (x+4)^3 * (x-1)

Answer:

Direct variation

[tex]k = 2.5[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The attached table

Required

The type of variation

First, we check for direct variation using:

[tex]k = \frac{y}{x}[/tex]

Pick corresponding points on the table

[tex](x,y) = (-2,-5)[/tex]

So:

[tex]k = \frac{-5}{-2} = 2.5[/tex]

[tex](x,y) = (4,10)[/tex]

So:

[tex]k = \frac{10}{4} = 2.5[/tex]

[tex](x,y) = (6,15)[/tex]

So:

[tex]k = \frac{15}{6} = 2.5[/tex]

Hence, the table shows direct variation with [tex]k = 2.5[/tex]

The distribution of the number of children for families in the United States has mean 0.9 and standard deviation 1.1. Suppose a television network selects a random sample of 1000 families in the United States for a survey on TV viewing habits.

Required:
a. Describe (as shape, center and spread) the sampling distribution of the possible values of the average number of children per family.
b. What average numbers of children are reasonably likely in the sample?
c. What is the probability that the average number of children per family in the sample will be 0.8 or less?
d. What is the probability that the average number of children per family in the sample will be between 0.8 and 1.0?

Answers

Answer:

a) By the Central Limit Theorem, it has an approximately normal shape, with mean(center) 0.9 and standard deviation(spread) 0.035.

b) Average numbers of children between 0.83 and 0.97 are reasonably likely in the sample.

c) 0.0021 = 0.21% probability that the average number of children per family in the sample will be 0.8 or less

d) 0.9958 = 99.58% probability that the average number of children per family in the sample will be between 0.8 and 1.0

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

Mean 0.9 and standard deviation 1.1.

This means that [tex]\mu = 0.9, \sigma = 1.1[/tex]

Suppose a television network selects a random sample of 1000 families in the United States for a survey on TV viewing habits.

This means that [tex]n = 1000, s = \frac{1.1}{\sqrt{1000}} = 0.035[/tex]

a. Describe (as shape, center and spread) the sampling distribution of the possible values of the average number of children per family.

By the Central Limit Theorem, it has an approximately normal shape, with mean(center) 0.9 and standard deviation(spread) 0.035.

b. What average numbers of children are reasonably likely in the sample?

By the Empirical Rule, 95% of the sample is within 2 standard deviations of the mean, so:

0.9 - 2*0.035 = 0.83

0.9 + 2*0.035 =  0.97

Average numbers of children between 0.83 and 0.97 are reasonably likely in the sample.

c. What is the probability that the average number of children per family in the sample will be 0.8 or less?

This is the p-value of Z when X = 0.8. So

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

By the Central Limit Theorem

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{0.8 - 0.9}{0.035}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2.86[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2.86[/tex] has a p-value of 0.0021

0.0021 = 0.21% probability that the average number of children per family in the sample will be 0.8 or less.

d. What is the probability that the average number of children per family in the sample will be between 0.8 and 1.0?

p-value of Z when X = 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 0.8.

X = 1

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{1 - 0.9}{0.035}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2.86[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2.86[/tex] has a p-value of 0.9979

X = 0.8

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{0.8 - 0.9}{0.035}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2.86[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2.86[/tex] has a p-value of 0.0021

0.9979 - 0.0021 = 0.9958

0.9958 = 99.58% probability that the average number of children per family in the sample will be between 0.8 and 1.0
