A marketing firm is considering making up to three new hires. Given its specific needs, the management feels that there is a 60% chance of hiring at least two candidates. There is only a 6% chance that it will not make any hires and a 16% chance that it will make all three hires.

Required:
a. What is the probability that the firm will make at least one hire?
b. Find the expected value and the standard deviation of the number of hires.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a. 0.94 = 94% probability that the firm will make at least one hire.

b. The expected value of the number of hires is 1.7, and the standard deviation is 0.8062.

Step-by-step explanation:

There is only a 6% chance that it will not make any hires

This means that P(X = 0) = 0.06.

16% chance that it will make all three hires.

This means that [tex]P(X = 3) = 0.16[/tex]

60% chance of hiring at least two candidates.

This means that:

[tex]P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) = 0.6[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 2) + 0.16 = 0.6[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 2) = 0.44[/tex]

Probability of one hire:

The sum of all probabilities, from no hires to three hires, is 1. So

[tex]P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) = 1[/tex]

[tex]0.06 + P(X = 1) + 0.16 + 0.44 = 1[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 1) = 0.66 = 1[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 1) = 0.34[/tex]

a. What is the probability that the firm will make at least one hire?

[tex]P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.06 = 0.94[/tex]

0.94 = 94% probability that the firm will make at least one hire.

b. Find the expected value and the standard deviation of the number of hires.

Expected value:

[tex]E(X) = 0.06*0 + 0.34*1 + 0.44*2 + 0.16*3 = 1.7[/tex]

Standard deviation:

[tex]S(X) = \sqrt{0.06*(0-1.7)^2 + 0.34*(1-1.7)^2 + 0.44*(2-1.7)^2 + 0.16*(3-1.7)^2} = 0.8062[/tex]

The expected value of the number of hires is 1.7, and the standard deviation is 0.8062.

The diameter of the stem of a wheat plant is an important trait because of its relationship to breakage of the stem. An agronomist measured stem diameter in eight plants of a particular type of wheat. The mean of these data is 2.275 and the standard deviation is 0.238. Construct a 80% confidence interval for the population mean.

Answers

Answer:  

7.79771≤x≤8.20229  

Step-by-step explanation:  

Given the following  

sample size n = 8  

standard deviation s = 0.238  

Sample mean = 2.275  

z-score at 980% = 1.282

Confidence Interval = x ± z×s/√n  

Confidence Interval = 8 ± 1.282×0.238/1.5083)  

Confidence Interval = 8 ± (1.282×0.15779)

Confidence Interval = 8 ±0.20229    

CI = {8-0.20229, 8+0.20229}  

CI = {7.79771, 8.20229}

Hence the required confidence interval is 7.79771≤x≤8.20229

A department store manager noted that the sales of furniture contributed 20% of the store's profits in the year 2015 and 29% in the year 2016.
Of the following choices, which two statements about furniture sales are true?
a.) There was a 45% increase in furniture sales.
b.) Furniture sales rose by 45 percentage points.
c.) There was a 31% increase in furniture sales.
d.) There was a 9% increase in furniture sales.
e.) Furniture sales rose by 31 percentage points.
f.) Furniture sales rose by 9 percentage points.

Answers

Answer:

There was a 45% increase in furniture sales.

Furniture sales rose by 9 percentage points.

Step-by-step explanation:

absolute difference = new - old

29-20= 9 percentage points

absolute difference / initial value = 9/20 = .45 * 100 = 45%

Two statements which are true about furniture sales are  [tex](a)[/tex] There was a [tex]45\%[/tex] increase in furniture sales and  [tex](f)[/tex]  Furniture sales rose by [tex]9[/tex] percentage points.

What is percentage ?

Percentage is a number or ratio expressed as a fraction of 100. It is often denoted using the percent sign, "%".

Percentage [tex]=\frac{Obtained\ number}{Total\ number}\ * 100[/tex]

We have,

Sales of furniture in [tex]2015=20\%[/tex]

Sales of furniture in [tex]2016=29\%[/tex],

So,

Change in Percentage [tex]=29-20=9\%[/tex]

i.e.

Sales rise by [tex]9\%[/tex] points,

And,

Increase in Percentage [tex]=\frac{9}{20}\ *100=45\%[/tex]

Hence, we can say that Two statements which are true about furniture sales are [tex](a)[/tex] There was a [tex]45\%[/tex] increase in furniture sales and [tex](f)[/tex] Furniture sales rose by [tex]9[/tex] percentage points.

Write the equation of the line passing through the point (−3,−4) that is perpendicular to y=8/3x+5.

Answers

Answer:

y = -3/8x -41/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular lines intersect at 90° and their slopes are opposite reciprocals.

Therefore the slope changes from 8/3 to -3/8.

Now we must solve for the new y-intercept (b) by plugging in the given coordinate (-3,-4).

The result is b = -41/8 so our new equation is:

y = -3/8x -41/8

A random sample of 30 patties that were inspected over the course of the last week revealed that the average weight was 95.0 grams. The standard deviation was 0.25 grams. What percentage of the deliveries is likely to be outside the specification limits (outside the interval of [94.5, 95.5])

Answers

Answer:

4.56% of the deliveries are likely to be outside the specification limits.

Step-by-step explanation:

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.

The average weight was 95.0 grams. The standard deviation was 0.25 grams.

This means that [tex]\mu = 95, \sigma = 0.25[/tex]

What percentage of the deliveries is likely to be outside the specification limits (outside the interval of [94.5, 95.5])?

Less than 94.5, or more than 95.5. Since the normal distribution is symmetric, these probabilities are the same, so we can find one of them and multiply by two.

The probability that it is less than 94.5 is the p-value of Z when X = 94.5. So

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

[tex]Z = \frac{94.5 - 95}{0.25}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2[/tex] has a p-value of 0.0228

2*0.0228 = 0.0456

0.0456*100% = 4.56%

4.56% of the deliveries are likely to be outside the specification limits.

2nd term =12-2=10

3rd term=12-3=9

4th term=12-4=8

10th term=12-10=2

b.

tn=5-2n

1st term=5-2*1=3

2nd term=5-2*2=1

3rd term=5-2*3=-1

4th term=5-2*4=-3

10th term=5-2*10=-15

(a) Solution

T(n) = 12 - n

T(1) = 12 - 1 = 11

T(2) = 12 - 2 = 10

T(3) = 12 - 3 = 9

T(4) = 12 - 4 = 8

T(10) = 12 - 10 = 2

(b) Solution

T(n) = 5 - 2n

T(1) = 5 - 2 = 3

Let P(x, y) denote the point where the terminal side of an angle θ meets the unit circle. If P is in Quadrant II and x = − 5⁄8 , evaluate the six trigonometric functions of θ.

Answers

The six trigonometric function of [tex]\theta[/tex] are [tex]\sin \theta \approx 0.781[/tex], [tex]\cos \theta = - \frac{5}{8}[/tex], [tex]\tan \theta \approx -1.250[/tex], [tex]\cot \theta \approx -0.800[/tex], [tex]\sec \theta = - \frac{8}{5}[/tex], [tex]\csc \theta \approx 1.280[/tex], respectively.

In this question, we assume that x-component of the terminal point is part of a unit circle. Then, we can find the value of y by means of the Pythagorean theorem:

[tex]y = \sqrt{1-x^{2}}[/tex] (1)

If we know that [tex]x = -\frac{5}{8}[/tex] and P is in the second quadrant, then the value of y is:

[tex]y = + \sqrt{1-\left(-\frac{5}{8} \right)^{2}}[/tex]

[tex]y \approx 0.781[/tex]

By trigonometry, we remember the following definitions for the six basic trigonometric functions:

[tex]\sin \theta = \frac{y}{1}[/tex] (1)

[tex]\cos \theta = \frac{x}{1}[/tex] (2)

[tex]\tan \theta = \frac{y}{x}[/tex] (3)

[tex]\sec \theta = \frac{1}{\cos \theta }[/tex] (5)

[tex]\csc \theta = \frac{1}{\sin \theta}[/tex] (6)

If we know that [tex]x = -\frac{5}{8}[/tex] and [tex]y \approx 0.781[/tex], then the six basic trigonometric functions are, respectively:

[tex]\sin \theta \approx 0.781[/tex], [tex]\cos \theta = - \frac{5}{8}[/tex], [tex]\tan \theta \approx -1.250[/tex], [tex]\cot \theta \approx -0.800[/tex], [tex]\sec \theta = - \frac{8}{5}[/tex], [tex]\csc \theta \approx 1.280[/tex]
