The Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) is used by many graduate schools of business as one of their admission criteria. Using your own reasoning and concepts, criticize each of the following conclusions.
Statements
a. "Last year, 7,573 computer science majors took the GMAT, compared with only 588 philosophy majors. Philosophy majors must not be interested in business because so few take the GMAT."
b. "Last year, 29,688 engineering majors took the GMAT, compared with only 3,589 English majors. Clearly, more students major in engineering than in English."
c. "Last year, physics majors averaged 100 points higher on the GMAT than marketing majors. If marketing students majored in physics, they would score better on the GMAT."
d. "On average, physics majors score higher on the GMAT than accounting majors. Therefore, physics majors would make the best managers."

Answer:

The expectation for an event with outcomes:

{x₁, x₂, ..., xₙ}

Each one with probability:

{p₁, p₂, ..., pₙ}

Is:

Ev = x₁*p₁ + ... + xₙ*pₙ

There are 500 tickets sold.

1 of these, wins $3,000  (this is the event x₁)

4 of these, wins $100     (this is the event x₂)

2 of these, wins $75        (this is the event x₃)

The others do not have a prize.

So the probability of winning the $3000 is equal to the quotient between the number of tickets with that prize (1) and the total number of tickets (500)

p₁ = 1/500

Similarly, the probability of winning $100 will be:

p₂ = 4/500

And for the $75 prize:

p₃ = 2/500

Then the probability of not winning is:

p₄ = 493/500

Then the expected value for a single ticket is:

Ev = $0*493/500 + $75*2/500 + $100*4/500 + $3000*1/500

Ev = $7.1

If you take in account that you pay $50 for the ticket, the actual expectation should be:

E = $7.10 - $50 = -$42.90

Answer:

1050

Step-by-step explanation:

Natural Numbers are positive whole numbers. They aren't negative, decimals, fractions. We can just divide 5 into 100 to find how many natural numbers go up to 100 and just add them but that is just to much.

There is a easier method.

E.g: Natural Numbers that are divisible by a Nth Number. is the same as adding the Nth Numbers to a multiple of that Nth Term. For example, let say we need to find numbers divisible by 2. We know that 4 is divisible by 2 because 4/2=2. We can add the Nth numbers which is 2 to 4. 4+2=6. And 6 is divisible by 2 because 6/2=3. We can call this a arithmetic series. A series which has a pattern of adding a common difference

Back to the problem, we can use the sum of arithmetic series formula,

[tex]y = x( \frac{z {}^{1} + {z}^{n} }{2} )[/tex]

Where x is the number of terms in our sequence. Z1 is the fist term of our series. ZN is our last term. And y is the sum of all of the terms

The first term is 5, the numbers of terms being added is 20 because 100/5=20. The last term is 100.

[tex]y = 20( \frac{5 + 100}{2} )[/tex]

[tex]y = 20( \frac{105}{2} )[/tex]

[tex]y = 1050[/tex]

Answer:

The answer is "(4.518, 5.182)"

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\sigma = 0.74[/tex]

The aveage porosity for a sample of [tex]n = 19[/tex] specimens is

[tex]\bar{x}=4.85[/tex]

Thus, the[tex]95\%[/tex] confidence interval for the true mean is

[tex]=\bar{x}\pm Z_{\frac{0.05}{2}} \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\=4.85\pm 1.96 \frac{0.74}{\sqrt{19}}\\\\=4.85\pm 0.332\\\\=(4.518, 5.182)[/tex]

Therefore, one can state that the true average porosity will lie  between 4.518 and 5.182 with the 95\% confidence.

Answer:

i) 410 cm³

ii) 48 min

Step-by-step explanation:

we start with 250 cm³.

and then we fill in 20 cm³ per minute.

i)

after 30 minutes we have

250 + 8×20 = 250 + 160 = 410 cm³

ii)

how long (how many minutes) does it take to reach 1210 cm³ in the tank ?

well, first we subtract the start amount (250).

and then we see how often 20 cm³ will "fit" into the remainder. and then we know how many minutes the water has to run.

1210 - 250 = 960 cm³

so, the incoming water needs to reach 960 cm³ to have a total of 1210 cm³.

and

960 cm³ / (20 cm³ / min) = 960 cm³ min / 20 cm³ =

= 960 min / 20 = 48 min

Answer:

The average rate of change of Demand between 40 and 175 units sold is of -0.1045.

Step-by-step explanation:

Average rate of change:

The average rate of a function f(x) in an interval [a,b] is given by:

[tex]A = \frac{f(b) - f(a)}{b - a}[/tex]

In this question:

[tex]D(q) = -0.0003q^2 - 0.04q + 23.56[/tex]

What is the average rate of change of Demand between 40 and 175 units sold?

[tex]a = 40, b = 175[/tex]. So

[tex]D(40) = -0.0003*40^2 - 0.04*40 + 23.56 = 21.48[/tex]

[tex]D(175) = -0.0003*175^2 - 0.04*175 + 23.56 = 7.3725[/tex]

So

[tex]A = \frac{f(b) - f(a)}{b - a} = \frac{7.3725 - 21.48}{175 - 40} = -0.1045[/tex]

The average rate of change of Demand between 40 and 175 units sold is of -0.1045.

The economic order quantity is 300 cases of tennis balls.

The economic order quantity (EOQ) is the minimum quantity that the distributor can order per order to minimize inventory costs.

Data and Calculations:

Sales of tennis balls for the coming year = 10,000 units

Carrying (holding) costs per case = $10

Cost of placing orders with the manufacturer = $45 per order

Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) = square root of (2 * Annual Demand/Sales * Ordering cost)/Carrying cost per case

= square root of (2 * 10,000 * $45)/$10

= square root of 90,000

= 300 cases of tennis balls

This implies that the distributor will place about 33 orders (10,000/300) in the coming year.  With each order, the quantity placed is 300 units.

Thus, the economic order quantity that will minimize the California distributor's inventory costs for the year is 300 cases of tennis balls.

Answer:

(x + 4)² + (y + 10)² = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard equation of a circle is written as seen below

(x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²

Where (h,k) is at the center and r is the radius

We want to find the standard equation of a circle that has a radius of 3 and a center at (-4,-10)

Remember r = radius so r = 3

and (h,k) is at center so h = -4 and k = -10

Now to find the standard equation of the circle we simply plug in the values of the variables (h,k and r) into the standard equation of a circle formula.

Equation of a circle: (x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²

r = 3, h = -4 and k = -10

Plug in values

(x - (-4))² + (y - (-10))² = 3²

Simplify

(x + 4)² + (y + 10)² = 9

And we are done!

Let v be the speed of the slower car

2v is the speed of the faster car

In 2 hrs, the slower car travels a distance of

In 2 hrs, the faster car travels a distance of

2 hr(2v km/hr) = 4v km

2v + 4v = 300

6v = 300

 v = 50 km/hr
