A manager of a grocery store wants to determine if consumers are spending

Mathematics
1 answer:
ololo11 [35]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

1. The error in the assumption is taking the sample mean, \bar x, as being equal to the population mean, μ

2. To correct the error, the manager will need to generate the confidence interval based on the population standard deviation on the acceptable values of the mean using the following relation;

CI=\bar{x}\pm z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

Step-by-step explanation:

We note that from the central limit theorem as the size of the sample, n, becomes more and more larger, the mean of the sample, \bar x, approaches that of the population mean, μ, therefore as the grocery store manager uses the sample mean as the population mean's point estimate an error will be observed based on the size of the sample compared to the population, where the difference between the two means (the population mean and the sample mean) is \left | \bar{x} - \mu \right |

1. The error in the assumption is taking the sample mean, \bar x, as being equal to the population mean, μ

2. To correct the error, the manager will need to generate the confidence interval based on the population standard deviation on the acceptable values of the mean using the following relation;

CI=\bar{x}\pm z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

Where:

σ = Population standard deviation = $30

z = z value at 95% confidence level = 1.96

\bar x = Sample mean $160

n = Sample size = 10

Plugging in the values, we have;

$141.4 < \bar x < $178.6

Hence the expected value of the mean should be between $141.4 and $178.6.

Nathan had an infection, and his doctor wanted him to take penicillin. Because Nathan’s father and paternal grandfather were all
Art [367]
Nathan has an infection and he needs to be treated with penicillin
But there’s a 75% probability of him being allergic to penicillin
And to test if the skin reacts to penicillin, the test is 98% accuracy
So even if he has the allergy the test is only 98% accurate of identifying the allergy
Therefore we are asked to find the probability of both these events happening
Event 1 and event 2 both should happen then. When the ‘and’ function is used in probabilities then the probabilities of both events happening should be multiplied
Therefore probability that Nathan has the allergy and test predicts it is
= 75% x 98% = 0.735
The answer is D. 0.735

D.) A line that has a slope of 3, and goes through the<br> point (2,8); answer in point-slope form.
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

y - 8 = 3(x - 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Start with the basic point-slope form of the equation of a straight line:

y - k = m(x - h).  Here the given point is (2, 8), so assign the value 2 to h and the value 8 to k, also the value 3 to m.  Then:

y - 8 = 3(x - 2)
