Answer:

The probability that the mean amount of credit card debt in a sample of 1600 such households will be within $300 of the population mean is roughly 0.907 = 90.7%.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we have to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

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 random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, a large sample size can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 15250, \sigma = 7125, n = 1600, s = \frac{7125}{\sqrt{1600}} = 178.125

The probability that the mean amount of credit card debt in a sample of 1600 such households will be within $300 of the population mean is roughly

This probability is the pvalue of Z when X = 1600 + 300 = 1900 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 1600 - 300 = 1300. So

X = 1900

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

By the Central Limit Theorem

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

Z = \frac{1900 - 1600}{178.125}

Z = 1.68

Z = 1.68 has a pvalue of 0.9535.

X = 1300

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

Z = \frac{1300 - 1600}{178.125}

Z = -1.68

Z = -1.68 has a pvalue of 0.0465.

0.9535 - 0.0465 = 0.907.

The probability that the mean amount of credit card debt in a sample of 1600 such households will be within $300 of the population mean is roughly 0.907 = 90.7%.

Elena went to a sporting goods store that was having a sale. She bought a tennis ball and 3 cans of tenis balls The tennis racke
Kazeer [188]

Answer: She will pay $52.68, including taxes

Step-by-step explanation: One can of tennis ball is $4 and there are no discount on it. Elena bought 3 cans, so:

can = 3 x 4 = 12

One tennis racket is $43 but it has a discount of 15%:

discount = 0.15 x 43 = 6.45

total racket = 43 - 6.45 = 36.55

Elena will have to pay:

pay = 12 + 36.55 = 48.55

She will also have to pay taxes, which are 8.5% over the price she paid:

pay + tax = 48.55 x 0.085 = 4.13

total to pay = 48.55 + 4.13 = 52.68

Buying 3 can of tennins ball and one racket, Elena paid $52.68, including taxes.

The scale factor to dilate Triangle ABC to Triangle DEF is _.
zaharov [31]
1/2

If ABC ~ DEF then 12/6, 16/8, and 18/9 would equal 2
BUT since we are going from a large triangle to a small triangle, our answer needs to be less then one, making our answer 1/2

Slove for P. 5/7=p+4/7
Sever21 [200]
p= 1/7
Alright, so first, you need to flip the equation.<span><span>It will turn into p+<span>4/7</span></span>=<span>5/7
Next, you want to get the variable by itself so you need to subtract 4/7 from both sides. 5/7-4/7=1/7
p=1/7</span></span>
