The letter​ "t" makes up an estimated 10​% of a certain language. Assume this is still correct. A random sample of 500 letters i

s taken from a randomly​ selected, large book and the​ t's are counted. Find the approximate probability that the random sample of 500 letters will contain 9.1​% or fewer​ t's.

Answer:

  0.2755

Step-by-step explanation:

We intend to make use of the normal approximation to the binomial distribution.

First we'll check to see if that approximation is applicable.

For p=10% and sample size n = 500, we have ...

  pn = 0.10(500) = 50

This value is greater than 5, so the approximation is valid.

__

The mean of the distribution we'll use as a model is ...

  µ = p·n = 0.10(500)

  µ = 50

The standard deviation for our model is ...

  σ = √((1-p)µ) = √(0.9·50) = √45

  σ ≈ 6.708204

__

A continuity correction can be applied to better approximate the binomial distribution. We want p(t ≤ 9.1%) = p(t ≤ 45.5). For our lookup, we will add 0.5 to this limit, and find p(t ≤ 46).

The attached calculator shows the probability of fewer than 45.5 t's in the sample is about 0.2755.

A car dealership pays a wholesome price of $12,000 to purchase a vehicle. The car dealership wants to make a 32% profit. The car
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

$102.96

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets take this one part at a time.

the dealership pays 12000 for the car, so they start at -12000 for how much money they have.

The dealership wants to make a 32% profit.  This means they want to make back the 12000 plus 32% of that.  what is 32% of 12000?  just multiply 12000 bty .32  In the end it works out that the price they sell it for is 15840

I do want to mention that there is a chance the 32% might also be accounting the bonus.  So in other words the dealership spent 12000 for the car then however much in paying the bonus, and they want to make a 32% profit on both of these combined.  I do not think that is what it is asking for, but I wanted to mention it.

Anyway, with a sales price of $15,840 it says the bonus is 6.5% of that.  to find that just do the multiplication .065 * 15840 = 1029.60.  So this is the bonus normally.

Now the question says the salesperson offers a 10 percent discount.  This changes the sales price (by 10%) and the bonus they earn.  let's calculate both.

First 10% discount of the sales price is .9*15840 = 14,256

Then 6.5% of that is .065*14256 = 926.64 So this is the new bonus.

The question wants the difference of the two bonuses, and difference is subtraction.  so 1029.60 - 926.64 = 102.96 So if the salesperson offers a 10% discount they lose $102.96
