PRACTICE ANOTHER The administration of a large university wants to take a random sample to measure student opinion of a new food service on campus. It plans to use a scale from 1 to 100, on which 1 is complete dissatisfaction and 100 is complete satisfaction. The administration knows from past experience with such questions that the standard deviation for the responses is going to be about 3, but it does not know what to expect for the mean. It wants to be almost sure that the sample mean is within plus or minus 1 point of the true population mean value. How large, n will the random sample have to be
Answer:
81 samples
Step-by-step explanation:
According to the empirical rule :
Possible values of the sample mean is within 3 standard deviations of the population mean :
μ ± 3 sd(x) ; sd(x) = standard deviation of sampling distribution.
3 * sd(x) = 1
sd(x) = 1/3
Recall:
Standard deviation of sampling distribution, sd(x)
sd(x) = σ / sqrt(n)
1/3 = 3 / sqrt(n)
Square both sides
1/9 = 9/n
Cross multiply :
n * 1 = 9 * 9
n = 81
Translate and solve the following: The sum of x and −15 is 23.
The revenue from selling x bracelets is f(x) = 8x.
The cost of buying x bracelets is c(x) = 3x + 12.
The profit from selling x bracelets is p(x) = (x) - c(x).
Write a function for p(x), the profit from selling x bracelets.
O A. p(x) = 11x - 12
B. p(x) = 11x + 12
C. p(x) = 5x - 12
O D. p(x) = 5x + 12
We are given r(x) and c(x).
p(x) = 8x - (3x + 12)
p(x) = 8x - 3x - 12
p(x) = 5x - 12
Done.

The lifetime of battery of a device (in one charge) is normally distributed with mean µ = 18 hours and standard deviation σ = 2 hours. (a) What is the probability that a battery will last more than 20 hours? (b) Find the 10th percentile of the lifetimes. (c) A particular battery lasts 16 hours. What percentile is its lifetime on? (d) What is the probability that the lifetime of a battery is between 17.5 and 18.5? (e) Ten batteries are chosen at random, what is the probability that the mean lifetime is between 17.5 and 18.5?
Answer:
a) 0.1587 = 15.87% probability that a battery will last more than 20 hours.
b) 15.44 hours.
c) Approximately the 16th percentile.
d) 0.1974 = 19.74% probability that the lifetime of a battery is between 17.5 and 18.5.
e) 0.5704 = 57.04% probability that the mean lifetime is between 17.5 and 18.5
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 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.
Central Limit Theorem
The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes 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].
In this question, we have that:
[tex]\mu = 18, \sigma = 2[/tex]
(a) What is the probability that a battery will last more than 20 hours?
This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 20. So
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{20 - 18}{2}[/tex]
[tex]Z = 1[/tex]
[tex]Z = 1[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.8413
1 - 0.8413 = 0.1587
0.1587 = 15.87% probability that a battery will last more than 20 hours.
(b) Find the 10th percentile of the lifetimes.
This is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.1. So X when Z = -1.28
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]-1.28 = \frac{X - 18}{2}[/tex]
[tex]X - 18 = -1.28*2[/tex]
[tex]X = 15.44[/tex]
So 15.44 hours.
(c) A particular battery lasts 16 hours. What percentile is its lifetime on?
We have to find the pvalue of Z when X = 16. So
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{16 - 18}{2}[/tex]
[tex]Z = -1[/tex]
[tex]Z = -1[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.1587
Approximately the 16th percentile.
(d) What is the probability that the lifetime of a battery is between 17.5 and 18.5?
This is the pvalue of Z when X = 18.5 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 17.5. So
X = 18.5
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{18.5 - 18}{2}[/tex]
[tex]Z = 0.25[/tex]
[tex]Z = 0.25[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.5987
X = 17.5
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{17.5 - 18}{2}[/tex]
[tex]Z = -0.25[/tex]
[tex]Z = -0.25[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.4013
0.5987 - 0.4013 = 0.1974
0.1974 = 19.74% probability that the lifetime of a battery is between 17.5 and 18.5.
(e) Ten batteries are chosen at random, what is the probability that the mean lifetime is between 17.5 and 18.5?
Sample of 10 means that, by the Central Limit Theorem, [tex]n = 10, s = \frac{2}{\sqrt{10}} = 0.6325[/tex]
X = 18.5
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{18.5 - 18}{0.6325}[/tex]
[tex]Z = 0.79[/tex]
[tex]Z = 0.79[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.7852
X = 17.5
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{17.5 - 18}{0.6325}[/tex]
[tex]Z = -0.79[/tex]
[tex]Z = -0.79[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.2148
0.7852 - 0.2148 = 0.5704
0.5704 = 57.04% probability that the mean lifetime is between 17.5 and 18.5

Students who attend Washington Middle School are either in seventh or eighth grade.
At the end of the first semester
25% of the students at Washington Middle School were on the honor roll. Seventh graders represented 60% of the
students on the honor roll. If 124 students on the honor roll were in eighth grade, how many students attend
Washington Middle School?
Answer:
There are 1240 students at Washington middle school.
Step-by-step explanation:
Percentages and Portions
We can find portions of a whole by correctly managing the percentages of each part. We know 25% of all students at Washington middle school were on the honor roll. From that portion, 60% of the students are seventh graders. That means 40% of the 25% are eight graders, i.e. 40*25%=10% were from eight grade.
We have 10% of all students are 124, thus the number of students are 124/10%=1240
There are 1240 students at Washington middle school.
Let's test the answer. 25% of 1240 students are on the honor roll, which is 310 students. 40% of 310 students are from 8th grade, 40%*310 = 124 as stated in the problem

write 18 1/4 as a decimal
Answer: 18.25
Step-by-step explanation: Lets start off with this: 1/4 is the same as 25 (like if you use quarters, you know 4 quarters makes a dollar, and one quarter is 25)
So, since we have 18 and 25, converting it to a decimal is easy. Put the numbers together (18 and 25) Then just add decimal in the middle.
OR
18 x 4 (which is 72) then add 72 to the numerator (1) which will give you 73 (72 + 1) Finally, divide 73 by 4, (4 is denominator) which will then give you 18.25 :D
The mixed number [tex]18\frac{1}{4}[/tex] written as a decimal is 18.25.
To write [tex]18\frac{1}{4}[/tex] as a decimal, we can convert the mixed number into an improper fraction and then divide the numerator by the denominator.
The mixed number to an improper fraction.
[tex]18\frac{1}{4}[/tex] = (18 × 4 + 1)/4
= 73/4
Divide the numerator by the denominator.
73 ÷ 4
= 18.25
Therefore, [tex]18\frac{1}{4}[/tex] written as a decimal is 18.25.

Answer:
$0.58
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 8 pencils per package. To find the value of each pencil, divide the cost by 8
4.64/8 = $0.58
Answer:
$0.58
Step-by-step explanation:
unit means one, or the rate or price of each pencil. so if the total was 4.64, youd divide 4.64 by 8, which comes out to $0.58 per pencil
Which function's graph has the same y Intercept as the line shown?
Оу в x +1
Oy -5x + 5
O y .5x-5
O y: 5x - 1
The graph has the same y Intercept as the line shown is y = 5x - 5.
What is Slope?A line's slope is determined by how its y coordinate changes in relation to how its x coordinate changes. y and x are the net changes in the y and x coordinates, respectively. Therefore, it is possible to write the
change in y coordinate with respect to the change in x coordinate as,
m = Δy/Δx where, m is the slope
We take two points from the graph as (-5, 0) and (0, -5)
So, the slope of line
slope = (-5 - 0)/ (0- (-5))
slope= -5 / 5
slope= -1
Using slope intercept form
y= mx+ b
y= -x+ b
Now, put x= -5 and y= 0 then
0 = -(-5)+ b
b= -5
So, the equation of line is
y= -x - 5
Here, the y intercept is -5.
So, the equation with same y intercept is
y = 5x - 5
