Recently many companies have been experimenting with telecommuting, allowing employees to work at home on their computers. Among other things, telecommuting is supposed to reduce the number of sick days taken. Suppose that at one firm, it is known that over the past few years employees have taken a mean of 5.4 sick days. This year, the firm introduces telecommuting. Management chooses a simple random sample of 80 employees to follow in detail, and at the end of the year, these employees average 4.5 sick days with a standard deviation of 2.7 days.
a) Describe the population in the context of this problem
b) Describe the parameter u in the context of this problem.
c) Describe the sample in the context of this problem.
d) Describe the statistic in the context of this problem
e) The firm would like to know if there is evidence that the true mean number of sick days for all employees of the firm has decreased after telecommuting was introduced. State the hypotheses. Use ?-0.10.
f) Check the assumptions. If you don't know if an assumption is satisfied based on the information provided, then state "We must assume
g) Calculate the test statistic
h) Find the p-value.
i) Make a decision.
j) State the conclusion in terms of the problem.

Answer 1

Answer:

A.) Population : All employees at a firm

B.) μ = 5.4

C.) Sample : 80 employees at a firm

D.) Sample mean, x bar = 4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question :

E.)

H0: μ ≥ 5.4

H1 : μ < 5.4

F.)

If Pvalue < α ; Reject H0

G.)

Test statistic :

(xbar - μ) ÷ (s/sqrt(n))

(4.5 - 5.4) ÷ (2.7/sqrt(80))

-0.9 ÷ 0.3018691

= - 2.98

H.)

Pvalue fro Zscore calculator, α = 0.10 = 0.002882

I.)

Decision :

0.002882 < 0.10

Since, Pvalue < α ; We reject the Null

J.)

We Can conclude that the true mean number of sick days for all employees of the firm has decreased after telecommuting was introduced

2. Write a polynomial function of least degree with rational coefficients so that P(x)=0 has the given root.
4 - 5i

Answers

Answer:

p(x) = x^2 - 8x + 41

Step-by-step explanation:

If a polynomial with rational coefficients has a complex root, then the roots come in complex conjugate pairs. If the polynomial we need to find has the root 4 - 5i, then it must also have its complex conjugate 4 + 5i as a root.

p(x) = [x - (4 - 5i)][x - (4 + 5i)]

p(x) = [(x - 4) + 5i][(x - 4) - 5i]

Now it's a difference of two squares.

p(x) = (x - 4)^2 - (5i)^2

p(x) = x^2 - 8x + 16 + 25

p(x) = x^2 - 8x + 41

C) Find the coordinates of the two z intercepts of the parabola and write them as a list, separated by
commas:
It is OK to round your value(s) to to two decimal places.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)  = 2x² + 14x - 4

= 2(x² + 7x) - 4

= 2(x² +7x + 3.5²) - 2(3.5²) - 4

= 2(x+3.5)² - 28.5

vertex (3.5, -28.5) = (7/2, -57/2)

The vertical intercept is the y-intercept, i.e., f(0) = -4.

The x-intercepts are the values of x for which y=0.

2x² + 14x - 4  = 0

x = [-14±√(14²-4(2)(-4))]/[2(2)] = [-7±√57]/2 ≅ -7.27, 0.27

4. 2(7k+5h)

5. $325

Step-by-step explanation:

2) "X decreased by the sum of 2x + 5" Decreased means to be lowered, so that means this problem has subtraction in it. It also says x is being decreased BY the sum of 2x + 5 so that means 2x + 5 needs to be solved, which calls for parentheses. B best fits the description.

3) It is B because if you distribute the 8 to 2a and 3b, you'll get 16a and 24b, which is the given expression.

4) The given expression is 10h + 14k and in the equivalent expression, you are given 5h. To get from 10 to 5, you must divide by 2. This tells you that 2 is being distributed, so you put 2 before the parentheses. Since you divided 10 by 2, you want to do the same to 14, which is 7. Therefore, it is 2(7k+5h).

5) You are given the hourly charge, which is $25. This means that they charge $25 per hour/for every hour. You want to find the cost for 13 hours, so you multiply the hourly charge by 13 hours. 25 x 13 = 325.

Whales have one of the longest gestation periods of any mammal. According to a website, the mean gestation period for a whale is 15 months. Assume the distribution of gestation periods is Normal with a standard deviation of 12 months
a. Find the standard score associated with a gestation period of 13.8 months
b. Using the Empirical Rule and your answer to part a, what percentage of whale pregnancies will have a gestation period between 13.8 and 15 months?
c. Would it be unusual for a whole to have a gestation period of 21 months? Why or why not?
The standard score associated with a gestation period of 13.8 months is __________.

Answers

Answer:

a) The standard score associated with a gestation period of 13.8 months is of [tex]Z = -1[/tex]

b) 34% of whale pregnancies will have a gestation period between 13.8 and 15 months.

c) Since when [tex]X = 21[/tex], [tex]Z = 5 \geq 2[/tex], it would be unusual for a whale to have a gestation period of 21 months.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

Approximately 68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

Approximately 95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean.

Approximately 99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

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 zscore 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 pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

If [tex]Z \geq 2[/tex] or [tex]Z \leq -2[/tex], the measure X is considered to be unusual.

According to a website, the mean gestation period for a whale is 15 months. Assume the distribution of gestation periods is Normal with a standard deviation of 1.2 months.

I corrected to 1.2 because it is what makes sense considering the questions.

This means that [tex]\mu = 15, \sigma = 1.2[/tex]

a. Find the standard score associated with a gestation period of 13.8 months

This is Z when X = 13.8. So

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

[tex]Z = \frac{13.8 - 15}{1.2}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1[/tex]

The standard score associated with a gestation period of 13.8 months is of [tex]Z = -1[/tex]

b. Using the Empirical Rule and your answer to part a, what percentage of whale pregnancies will have a gestation period between 13.8 and 15 months?

The standard score associated with a gestation period of 13.8 months is of [tex]Z = -1[/tex], which means that it is one standard deviation below the mean.

The normal distribution is symmetric, which means that of the approximately 68% of measures within one standard deviation of the mean, 68%/2 = 34% are within one standard deviation below the mean(in this case, 13.8) and the mean(in this case 15), and 34% are within the mean and one standard deviation above the mean.

So 34% of whale pregnancies will have a gestation period between 13.8 and 15 months.

c. Would it be unusual for a whale to have a gestation period of 21 months? Why or why not?

Let's find the z-score

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

[tex]Z = \frac{21 - 15}{1.2}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 5[/tex]

Since when [tex]X = 21[/tex], [tex]Z = 5 \geq 2[/tex], it would be unusual for a whale to have a gestation period of 21 months.

You run a hotel with 1465 rooms. You currently have 296 rooms reserved by individuals and 651 rooms reserved by groups for a particular upcoming weekend. Historical trends indicate that this far out from the date in question, your booking rates are probably 67% for individual reservations and 56% for group reservations. Do you expect to be undercooked or overcooked for the upcoming weekend

Answers

Answer:

Hotel is over booked by 140 rooms

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of hotel rooms = 1465

number reserved by individuals = 296

number reserved by groups = 651

booking rates = 67% for individual ,  56% for groups

Determine if you are under booked or overbooked for the weekend

let X represent the number of rooms booked by individuals

and Y represent the number of rooms booked by groups

number of reserved room for individuals

= 67% of X = 296

X = 67% + 33%

   = 296 + ( (296 / 67 ) * 33 )

   = 296 + 146 ≈ 442

number of rooms reserved for groups

= 56% of Y = 651

Y =( 651 / 56 ) * 100

   ≈ 1163

Total rooms booked = X + Y

                                  = 442 + 1163 = 1605

To determine if under booked or over booked

Total rooms booked - Total number of hotel rooms

 =  1605 - 1465

 =  140 ( Your Hotel is over booked )
