The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics released hourly wage figures for various countries for workers in the manufacturing sector.

The hourly wage was $30.67 for Switzerland, $20.20 for Japan, and $23.82 for the U.S. Assume that in all three countries, the standard deviation of hourly labor rates is $4.00. Appendix A Statistical Tables a. Suppose 40 manufacturing workers are selected randomly from across Switzerland and asked what their hourly wage is. What is the probability that the sample average will be between $30.00 and $31.00? b. Suppose 32 manufacturing workers are selected randomly from across Japan. What is the probability that the sample average will exceed $21.00? c. Suppose 47 manufacturing workers are selected randomly from across the United States. What is the probability that the sample average will be less than $22.80?

Answer:

(a) The probability that the sample average will be between $30.00 and $31.00 is 0.5539.

(b) The probability that the sample average will exceed $21.00 is 0.12924.

(c) The probability that the sample average will be less than $22.80 is 0.04006.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the hourly wage was $30.67 for Switzerland, $20.20 for Japan, and $23.82 for the U.S.

Assume that in all three countries, the standard deviation of hourly labor rates is $4.00.

(a) Suppose 40 manufacturing workers are selected randomly from across Switzerland.

Let \bar X = <u>sample average wage</u>

The z score probability distribution for sample mean is given by;

                                Z  =  \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } ~ N(0,1)

where, \mu = population mean wage for Switzerland = $30.67

            \sigma = standard deviation = $4.00

            n = sample of workers selected from across Switzerland = 40

Now, the probability that the sample average will be between $30.00 and $31.00 is given by = P($30.00 < \bar X < $31.00)

        P($30.00 < \bar X < $31.00) = P(\bar X < $31.00) - P(\bar X \leq $30.00)

        P(\bar X < $31) = P( \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } < \frac{31-30.67}{\frac{4}{\sqrt{40} } } ) = P(Z < 0.52) = 0.69847

        P(\bar X \leq $30) = P( \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } \leq \frac{30-30.67}{\frac{4}{\sqrt{40} } } ) = P(Z \leq -1.06) = 1 - P(Z < 1.06)

                                                             = 1 - 0.85543 = 0.14457

<em>The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 0.52 and x = 1.06 in the z table which has an area of 0.69847 and 0.85543 respectively.</em>

Therefore, P($30.00 < \bar X < $31.00) = 0.69847 - 0.14457 = <u>0.5539</u>

<u></u>

(b) Suppose 32 manufacturing workers are selected randomly from across Japan.

Let \bar X = <u>sample average wage</u>

The z score probability distribution for sample mean is given by;

                                Z  =  \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } ~ N(0,1)

where, \mu = population mean wage for Japan = $20.20

            \sigma = standard deviation = $4.00

            n = sample of workers selected from across Japan = 32

Now, the probability that the sample average will exceed $21.00 is given by = P(\bar X > $21.00)

        P(\bar X > $21) = P( \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } > \frac{21-20.20}{\frac{4}{\sqrt{32} } } ) = P(Z > 1.13) = 1 - P(Z < 1.13)

                                                          = 1 - 0.87076 = <u>0.12924</u>

<em />

<em>The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 1.13 in the z table which has an area of 0.87076.</em>

<em />

(c) Suppose 47 manufacturing workers are selected randomly from across United States.

Let \bar X = <u>sample average wage</u>

The z score probability distribution for sample mean is given by;

                                Z  =  \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } ~ N(0,1)

where, \mu = population mean wage for United States = $23.82

            \sigma = standard deviation = $4.00

            n = sample of workers selected from across United States = 47

Now, the probability that the sample average will be less than $22.80 is given by = P(\bar X < $22.80)

  P(\bar X < $22.80) = P( \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } < \frac{22.80-23.82}{\frac{4}{\sqrt{47} } } ) = P(Z < -1.75) = 1 - P(Z \leq 1.75)

                                                               = 1 - 0.95994 = <u>0.04006</u>

<em />

<em>The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 1.75 in the z table which has an area of 0.95994.</em>

12. Divide total weight by weight of each. 1200 / 1.2 = 1000.
13. Total gas divided by number of cars will give amount of gas per car. 1350 /         100 = 13.5
14. The recipe gives the amount for 10 large bags. In other words, there is 750.2 grams in 10 bags. So divide by 10 to get the amount in 1 bag, which is B

15. Do the same process from 14. for oats and sunflowers, and then add them together. Answer is A
16. This is a bit diffrent but similar idea. Recipie gives for 100 snack sizes. So if we divided sunflower by tht we get 4.505. We need 2 bags however for a total of 9.01 grams. which is D

frosja888 [35]

Answer:

Theory

Step-by-step explanation:

The theory refers to an explanation of something. It should be understandable also it contains some logic behind that

It is a formal, logical for events that involved the descriptions that related the things to one another

Therefore the above represent the theory

Hence, the same is to be considered
