Answer 1

Answer:

a) 0.6212 = 62.12% probability that the mean price for a sample of 30 federal income tax returns is within $16 of the population mean.

b) 0.7416 = 74.16% probability that the mean price for a sample of 50 federal income tax returns is within $16 of the population mean.

c) 0.8804 = 88.04% probability that the mean price for a sample of 100 federal income tax returns is within $16 of the population mean.

d) None of them ensure, that one which comes closer is a sample size of 100 in option c), to guarantee, we need to keep increasing the sample size.

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.

The CPA Practice Advisor reports that the mean preparation fee for 2017 federal income tax returns was $273. Use this price as the population mean and assume the population standard deviation of preparation fees is $100.

This means that [tex]\mu = 273, \sigma = 100[/tex]

A) What is the probability that the mean price for a sample of 30 federal income tax returns is within $16 of the population mean?

Sample of 30 means that [tex]n = 30, s = \frac{100}{\sqrt{30}}[/tex]

The probability is the p-value of Z when X = 273 + 16 = 289 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 273 - 16 = 257. So

X = 289

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

[tex]Z = \frac{289 - 273}{\frac{100}{\sqrt{30}}}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.88[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.88[/tex] has a p-value of 0.8106

X = 257

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

[tex]Z = \frac{257 - 273}{\frac{100}{\sqrt{30}}}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.88[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.88[/tex] has a p-value of 0.1894

0.8106 - 0.1894 = 0.6212

0.6212 = 62.12% probability that the mean price for a sample of 30 federal income tax returns is within $16 of the population mean.

B) What is the probability that the mean price for a sample of 50 federal income tax returns is within $16 of the population mean?

Sample of 30 means that [tex]n = 50, s = \frac{100}{\sqrt{50}}[/tex]

X = 289

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

[tex]Z = \frac{289 - 273}{\frac{100}{\sqrt{50}}}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.13[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.13[/tex] has a p-value of 0.8708

X = 257

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

[tex]Z = \frac{257 - 273}{\frac{100}{\sqrt{50}}}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.13[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.13[/tex] has a p-value of 0.1292

0.8708 - 0.1292 = 0.7416

0.7416 = 74.16% probability that the mean price for a sample of 50 federal income tax returns is within $16 of the population mean.

C) What is the probability that the mean price for a sample of 100 federal income tax returns is within $16 of the population mean?

Sample of 30 means that [tex]n = 100, s = \frac{100}{\sqrt{100}}[/tex]

X = 289

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

[tex]Z = \frac{289 - 273}{\frac{100}{\sqrt{100}}}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.6[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.6[/tex] has a p-value of 0.9452

X = 257

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

[tex]Z = \frac{257 - 273}{\frac{100}{\sqrt{100}}}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.6[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.6[/tex] has a p-value of 0.0648

0.9452 - 0.0648 =

0.8804 = 88.04% probability that the mean price for a sample of 100 federal income tax returns is within $16 of the population mean.

D) Which, if any of the sample sizes in part (a), (b), and (c) would you recommend to ensure at least a .95 probability that the same mean is withing $16 of the population mean?

None of them ensure, that one which comes closer is a sample size of 100 in option c), to guarantee, we need to keep increasing the sample size.

Kylie has a loyalty card good for a 13% discount at her local hardware store. What number should she multiply the prices on the tags by to find the price she would have to pay, before tax, in one step?

Answers

Answer:

.87

Step-by-step explanation:

She gets 13 off so 100-13 =87

She will pay 87%

Multiply by .87

Kylie must multiply the price by 0.87 to get the discounted price.

Given that,
Kylie has a loyalty card good for a 13% discount at her local hardware store. What number should she multiply the prices on the tags by to find the price she would have to pay, is to be determined.

What is the percentage?

The percentage is the ratio of the composition of matter to the overall composition of matter multiplied by 100.

Here,
let the price be x,
Now,
According to the question,
discounted price = x - 13% of x
Discounted price = x - 0.13x
Discounted price = 0.87 x
The coefficient of the x represents the multiplication factor for Kylie.

Thus, Kylie must multiply the price by 0.87 to get the discounted price.

The pair of figures to the right are similar. The area of one figure is given. Find the area of the other figure to the nearest whole number. Area of larger triangle = 165 ft^2 Thank you!!​

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  73 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of areas is the square of the ratio of linear dimensions.

  smaller area = larger area × ((10 ft)/(15 ft))² = 165 ft² × (4/9)

  smaller area = 73 1/3 ft² ≈ 73 ft²

Answer:

Area of the smaller triangle = 73 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the larger triangle = 165 square feet

Area of a triangle = [tex]\frac{1}{2}(\text{Base})(\text{Height})[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{2}(\text{Base})(\text{Height})=165[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{2}(15)(\text{Height})=165[/tex]

Height = 22 ft

Since, both the triangles are similar.

By the property of similar triangles,

Corresponding sides of the similar triangles are proportional.

Let the height of smaller triangle = h ft

Therefore, [tex]\frac{h}{22}=\frac{10}{15}[/tex]

h = [tex]\frac{22\times 10}{15}[/tex]

h = 14.67 ft

Area of the smaller triangle = [tex]\frac{1}{2}(10)(14.67)[/tex]

                                              = 73.33

                                              ≈ 73 square feet

Answers

Answer:

5<x<29

Step-by-step explanation:

One theorem tells us that if a triangle has two congruent sides and one of the included angle is bigger than the other, the triangle with the included angle that is bigger. has a bigger side than the other.

This is the opposite in this case. The triangles share two sides and we know that the triangle with the side length 18 has a bigger angle than the triangle with the side length 15. So this means that

[tex]48 > 2x - 10[/tex]

Let find the range of x values.

An angle cannot be negative or zero so this means that

[tex]2x - 10 > 0[/tex]

Solve for x.

[tex]2x > 10[/tex]

[tex]x > 5[/tex]

The angle cannot be bigger than 48 so

[tex]48 > 2x - 10[/tex]

Solve for x.

[tex]58 > 2x[/tex]

[tex]29 > x[/tex]

So x must be greater than 5 but less than 29.

Read the following scenario, which is represented by a polynomial expression. Then answer the questions to interpret the parts of the expression in terms of the given context.

The volunteers at a high school football team’s concession stand are trying to decide on the price of the hot dogs they are selling. When they charge $2 for a hot dog, they sell an average of 70 hot dogs per game. With every $1 increase in the price, the number of hot dogs sold per game decreases by 8.

The volunteers can calculate the revenue earned from selling the hot dogs at each game using the expression -8x2 + 54x + 140, where x is the number of $1 increases in price.

Part A
What is the constant term in the polynomial expression, and what does it represent?

Answers

Answer:

x is the number of $1 increase in the price.

If there is no increase, then the total money earned is

2 × 70 = 140

If there is $1 increase, then the total money earned is

(2 + 1) × [70 - 8(1)]

If there is $2 increase, then the total money earned is

(2 + 2) × [70 - 8(2)]

If we continue the pattern, for x times $1 increase, total money earned is

(2 + x)(70 - 8x) = -8x^{2} +54x+140−8x2+54x+140

If we substitute x = 0 in the above equation, we will get

the total money earned = $140.

It means if there is no increase, then the total money earned = 140.

Hence, 140 is the constant term and it represents that there is no increase in price.
