The fuel efficiency in miles per gallon of all bmw 320i's is (approximately) normally distributed with a mean of 25 and a standa

rd deviation of 2. a dealer receives a shipment of a random sample of 320i's (random with respect to m.p.g., that is) from the factory. find the probability that average fuel efficiency for this shipment is less than 24 miles per gallon if the dealer receives (i) one car, (ii) four cars and (iii) sixteen cars. explain briefly why these three answers differ.

Given:
μ = 25 mpg, the population mean
σ = 2 mpg, the population standard deviation

If we select n samples for evaluation, we should calculate z-scores that are based on the standard error of the mean.
That is,
z= \frac{x-\mu}{\sigma / \sqrt{n} }

The random variable is x = 24 mpg.

Part (i):  n = 1
σ/√n = 2
z = (24 -25)/2 = -0.5
From standard tables,
P(x < 24) = 0.3085

Part (ii): n = 4
σ/√n = 1
z = (24 -25)/1 = -1
P(x < 24) = 0.1587

Part (iii): n=16
σ/√n = 0.5
z = (24 - 25)/0.5 = -2
P(x < 24) = 0.0228

Explanation:
The larger the sample size, the smaller the standard deviation.
Therefore when n increases, we are getting a result which is closer to that of the true mean.

son4ous [18]

Answer:

The statement is true about whether A and B are independent eventa is fourth option:

A and B are not independent events because P(A/B)=0.375 and P(A)=0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A be the event that the person rides the bus to school, then:

P(A)=75/300

P(A)=0.25

Let B be the event that the person has 3 or more siblings, then:

P(B)=24/300

P(B)=0.25


P(A/B)=9/24

P(A/B)=0.375


Like P(A/B)=0.375 is different to P(A)=0.25 the events are not independent


Answer. Fourth option:

A and B are not independent events because P(A/B)=0.375 and P(A)=0.25

What is the answer to this inequality question 2(4x+1)&lt;3(2x-3)
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

x < -7

Step-by-step explanation:

2(4x + 1) < 3(2x - 3)

Distributive Property:

8x + 8 < 6x - 6

Subtract on Both Sides:

8x + 8 < 6x - 6

- 6x       -6x

--------------------

2x + 8 < - 6

      -8    -8

---------------

2x < -14

Divide on Both Sides:

2x < -14

---     ---

2        2

x < -7

You plan to borrow $36,500 at a 7.7% annual interest rate. The terms require you to amortize the loan with 7 equal end-of-year p
erma4kov [3.2K]

The amount of interest you would be paying in Year 2 is: $2,492.62.

<h3>Interest</h3>

First step is to calculate the Equal Monthly Payment

Equal Monthly Payment=P×r×(1+r)^t/(1+r)^t-1

Where:

P=Principal=$36,500

r=Rate=7.7%

t=Time=7 years

Equal Monthly Payment=36,500×0.077×(1+0.077)^7÷(1+0.077)^7-1

Equal Monthly Payment=36,500×0.077×(1.077)^7÷(1.077)^7-1

Equal Monthly Payment=36,500×0.077×1.6807763÷1.6807763-1

Equal Monthly Payment=4,723.82/0.6807763

Equal Monthly Payment=$6,938.875

Second step is to calculate Year 1 Closing balance

Year 1 Closing balance  = Beginning  balance + Interest - EMI Payment

Year 1 Closing balance=  $36,500 +($36,500×7.7%) - $6,938.875

Year 1 Closing balance=  $36,500 + $2,810.5 -$6,938.875

Year 1 Closing balance =   $32,371.625

Third step is to calculate year 2 interest

Year 2 Interest= $32,371.625×7.7%

Year 2 Interest=$2,492.62

Therefore the amount of interest you would be paying in Year 2 is: $2,492.62.
