After deducting grants based on need, the average cost to attend the University of Southern California (USC) is $27,175 (U.S. News & World Report, America’s Best Colleges, 2009 ed.). Assume the population standard deviation is $7,400. Suppose that a random sample of 60 USC students will be taken from this population.

a. Refer to Exhibit 2. What is the value of the standard deviation of the mean? (Note: keep two decimal places.)

b.What is the probability that the sample mean will be more than $27,175

c.What is the probability that the sample mean will be within $1,000 of population mean? (Note: keep two decimal places for the z value and four decimal places for the final probability value.)

d.What would be the probability in Part c if the sample size were increased to 100? (Note: keep two decimal places for the z value and four decimal places for the final probability value.)

Answers

Answer 1

The solutions are:

(a) Standard error is 957.04. (b) The probability is 50%. (c)The probability is 0.8491. (d) The probability is 0.8617.

To calculate the values, use the standard error formula for the sample mean:

(a)

The standard error is given by:

[tex]Standard\ error =\dfrac{ Population \ standard \ deviation}{\sqrt{sample\ size}}\\Standard\ error=\dfrac {\$ 7,400 }{ \sqrt60}\\Standard\ error =\ $957.04[/tex]

(b)

To find the probability that the sample mean will be more than $27,175, convert it into a z-score and then find the area under the normal distribution curve:

z = (sample mean - population mean) / standard error

z = ($27,175 - $27,175) / $957.04

z = 0

Since the z-score is 0, the area under the curve to the right of this point is 0.5 or 50%.

c. To find the probability that the sample mean will be within $1,000 of the population mean, we need to find the area between the range of $(27,175 - $1,000) and $(27,175 + $1,000).

Lower limit: $27,175 - $1,000 = $26,175

Upper limit: $27,175 + $1,000 = $28,175

Now, we calculate the z-scores for both limits:

lower = ($26,175 - $27,175) / $957.04 ≈ -1.045

upper = ($28,175 - $27,175) / $957.04 ≈ 1.045

Using a standard normal distribution table or calculator, the probability of a z-score being between -1.045 and 1.045 is approximately 0.8491.

(d)

If the sample size were increased to 100.

[tex]Standard error = \dfrac{ \$7,400}{ \sqrt{100}} \\Standard error = \$740[/tex]

Find the probability that the sample mean will be within $1,000 of the population mean, did in part c:

Lower limit: $27,175 - $1,000 = $26,175

Upper limit: $27,175 + $1,000 = $28,175

lower = ($26,175 - $27,175) / $740

lower ≈ -1.351

upper = ($28,175 - $27,175) / $740

upper ≈ 1.351

Using a standard normal distribution table or calculator, the probability of a z-score being between -1.351 and 1.351 is approximately 0.8617.

Hence,

Standard error is 957.04.The probability is 50%.The probability is 0.8491.The probability is 0.8617.

2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The months whose names end in 'y' include Jan, Feb, May, Jul.  The probability of randomly selecting a month whose name ends in 'y' is 4/12 (remember that there are 12 months in a year), or 1/3.

Thus, the probability of selecting a month whose name does NOT end in 'y' is 8/12, or 2/3.  Note that this event is the 'complement' of the first event:  

P(name does not end in 'y') = 1 - P(name does not end in 'y') = 1 - 1/3 = 2/3

Factors of 36 are the list of integers that we can split evenly into 36. There are overall 9 factors of 36 among which 36 is the biggest factor and its positive factors are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, and 36. The Pair Factors of 36 are (1, 36), (2, 18), (3, 12), (4, 9) and (6, 6) and its Prime Factors are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36.

Factors of 36: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18 and 36

Negative Factors of 36: -1, -2, -3, -4, -6, -9, -12, -18 and -36

Prime Factors of 36: 2, 3

Prime Factorization of 36: 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 = 22 × 32

Sum of Factors of 36: 91

Factors of a number are the numbers that divide the given number exactly without any remainder. According to the definition of factors, factors of 36 are those numbers that exactly divide 36 leaving no remainder. In other words, we can say if two numbers are multiplied and the product is 36, then the numbers are factors of 36.

Let us do a hit and trial method to find factors of 36.

Divide 36 ÷ 2 = 18

Quotient = 18, remainder = 0

Now multiply 18 × 2 = 36

Hence, 18 and 2 are the factors of 18.

36 is a composite number as it has factors other than 1 and itself.

We can use different methods like the divisibility test, prime factorization, and the upside-down division method to calculate the factors of 36.

The most common method we use to find factors is the prime factorization method.

In prime factorization, we express 36 as a product of its prime factors.

In the division method, we see which numbers divide 36 exactly without a remainder.

Let us calculate factors of 36 using the following two methods:

Factors of 36 by prime factorization factor tree method

Factors of 36 by upside-down division method

Prime Factorization of 36 by Upside-Down Division Method

Now as discussed above, in the prime factorization method we show factors of 36 as a product of prime factors of 36. Follow the steps to find the prime factors of 36 by the prime factorization method.

With the help of divisibility rules, find out the smallest factor of the given number. Here, 36 is an even number. So it is clearly divisible by 2. In other words, 2 divides 36 with no remainder. Therefore, 2 is the smallest prime factor of 36.

36 ÷ 2 = 18.  Now find the prime factors of the obtained quotient. Repeat Step 1 and Step 2 till we get a prime number as the quotient. Here, 18 is the quotient.

18 ÷ 2 = 9. Here, 9 is the quotient. Now find the prime factors of the 9.

9 ÷ 3 = 3. Here 3 is the prime number. So we can stop the process.

Prime factorization of 36 using upside-down division method is 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 = 2² × 3².

Prime Factorization of 36 by Factor Tree Method

The factor tree method is another visualization method to represent factors of 36. It also helps in determining prime factors of 36. A factor tree is not unique for a given number. Instead of expressing 36 as 2 × 18, we can express 36 as 6 × 6.

Prime factorization of 36 using factor tree method is 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 = 2² × 3².

Factors of 36 in Pairs

Factor pairs are the two numbers that, when multiplied, give the number 36. Find all of the factors of the number 36 using the steps below:

Step I: Start with 1 and the number itself.

Step II: Count up by ones to see if you can multiply two numbers together to get your target number.

Step III: Stop when you can’t get any more numbers in between.

Step IV: Connect the factor pairs.

Factor pairs of 36 are given below:

36 = 1 × 36

36 = 4 × 9

36 = 6 × 6

36 =12 × 3

36 = 18 × 2

Let us club the numbers in pairs.

The factors of 36 in pairs are (1, 36), (4, 9), (6, 6), (12, 3), and (18, 2).

There are a total of 5 pairs of factors of 36.

We can have negative factors also for a given number.  

Since the product of two negative numbers is positive [(-) × (-) = +].

The measure of angle P is 29 degrees

The sum of an interior angle of a triangle is 180 degrees. Given the following parameters:

m<M = 15x + 5m<N = 3x + 2m<P = 5x - 11

Taking the sum and equating to 180 degrees:

m<M + m<N + m<P = 180 degrees

15x + 5 + 3x + 2 + 5x - 11 = 180

23x - 4 = 180

23x = 184

x = 184/23

x = 8

Get the measure of m<P

m<P = 5x - 11

m<P = 5(8) - 11

m<P = 40 - 11

m<P = 29 degrees

Hence the measure of angle P is 29 degrees

Answers

Answer:

-1.4 m/sec  [backwards]

Step-by-step explanation:

The energy of the cannon moving should be equal to the energy contained in the cannonball.  Kinetic energy for each is calculated using KE = (1/2)m[tex]v^{2}[/tex]

Let x be the speed of the cannon.

Cannonball:  

KE = (1/2)m[tex]v^{2}[/tex]

KE = (1/2)(1kg)(45 m/sec)^2

KE = 22.5   kg*m/sec^2

Cannon:      [The cannon will have the reverse energy]

KE = - (1/2)m[tex]v^{2}[/tex]

22.5 kg*m/sec^2 = -(1/2)(67 kg)x^2

22.5 kg*m/sec^2 = -(33.5 kg)x^2

Answers

Answer:

$290,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Total cost = total variable cost + fixed cost

= 5000×328 + 120000

= 1640000+120000

=1760000 $

The jeans maker earns in total = 5000 × 410

= 2050000 $

So the income is

What is a function?

A function is an assertion, concept, or principle that establishes an association between two variables. Functions may be found throughout mathematics and are essential for the development of significant links.

A pants producer is planning another line of pants. These pants will sell for $410 per unit and cost $328 per unit in factor expenses to make. Fixed costs complete $120,000.

Let 'x' be the number of units. Then the equation is given as,

Income = Selling cost - Variable cost - Fixed cost

Income = $410 x - $328 x - $120,000

Income = $82 x - $120,000

If the number of units is 5,000. Then the income is calculated as,

Income = $82 (5,000) - $120,000

Income = $410,000 - $120,000

Income = $290,000
