The tip percentage at a restaurant has a mean value of 18% and a standard deviation of 6%.

Answer:

a. 0.8366

b. No

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use the central limit theorem which can be applied to a random sample from any distribution as long as the mean and the variance are both finite and the sample size is large (the sample size n should be greater than 30). Here we have that the tip percentage at the restaurant has a mean value of 18% and a standard deviation of 6%, then because of the central limit theorem, we know that the sample mean tip percentage is approximately normally distributed with mean 18% and standard deviation 6/\sqrt{40}%=0.9487%.

a. The z-score related to 16% is given by (16-18)/0.9487 = -2.1081 and the z-score related to 19% is given by (19-18)/0.9487 = 1.0541. We are looking for P(16 < \bar{X} < 19) = P(-2.1081 < Z < 1.0541) = P(Z < 1.0541)- P(Z < -2.1081) = 0.8540 - 0.0175 = 0.8366

b. If the sample size had been 15 rather than 40, then, the probability requested in part (a) could not be calculated from the given information, this because the central limit theorem only applies when the sample size is large, for example n > 30.

gtnhenbr [62]

Answer: 6.6 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Since he finished 22% of his skiing in the morning, that means he still has 78% (100% - 22%) of his skiing left.

The remaining 78% is equivalent to 23.4 miles. We need to know the total miles of the skiing. This will be:

78% of x = 23.4

0.78 × x = 23.4

0.78x = 23.4

x = 23.4 / 0.78

x = 30 miles

Since the total skiing is 30 miles and he has 23.4 miles left, the miles covered in the morning will be:

= 30 - 23.4

= 6.6 miles

spin [16.1K]

Answer:800

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean(\mu )=\$ 4300

and P(X>6140)=0.0107

P(X>x_0)=0.0107

P\left ( \frac{X-\mu }{\sigma}

P\left ( z

\frac{x-\mu }{\sigma}=InvNormal(0.9893)

Using Z table to get InvNormal(0.9893)=2.30

\frac{6140-4300}{\sigma}=2.30

\sigma =\frac{6140-4300}{2.30}=800

kirill [66]

Answer:

  • Q11 - 12 sides
  • Q12 - 10 sides

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Use the formula for sum of interior angles of a regular polygon:</u>

  • S = 180(n - 2)

<u>Each angle A measures:</u>

  • S/n = 180(n - 2)/n
  • A = 180(n - 2)n
  • An = 180n - 360
  • (180 - A)n = 360
  • n = 360/(180 - A)
<h3>Question 11</h3>

<u>Each angle is 150, then finding n:</u>

  • n = 360/(180 - 150)
  • n = 360/30
  • n = 12
<h3>Question 12</h3>

<u>Each angle is 144, find n:</u>

  • n = 360/(180 - 144)
  • n = 360/36
  • n = 10

Evaluate 2 sin 60° + tan 45° + cos²60°​
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

1.25+√3 or 2.9821 to the nearest ten thousandth.

Step-by-step explanation:

sin 60 = √3/2,  tan 45 = 1 and cos^2 60 = (1/2)^2 = 1/4

So we get 2 *√3/2 + 1 + 1/4

= √3 +  1.25
