The direct variation between x and y may be written as,
                                    y = kx
where k is the constant of variation. From the first set of values of the variables,
                                 12 = k(8)
the value of k is 1.5. Substituting the next set to the same equation,
                                 y = 1.5(14) 
The value of y is 21.

Past records indicate that the probability of online retail orders that turn out to be fraudulent is 0.08. Suppose that, on a gi
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

The probability that there are 2 or more fraudulent online retail orders in the sample is 0.483.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can model this with a binomial random variable, with sample size n=20 and probability of success p=0.08.

The probability of k online retail orders that turn out to be fraudulent in the sample is:

P(x=k)=\dbinom{n}{k}p^k(1-p)^{n-k}=\dbinom{20}{k}\cdot0.08^k\cdot0.92^{20-k}

We have to calculate the probability that 2 or more online retail orders that turn out to be fraudulent. This can be calculated as:

P(x\geq2)=1-[P(x=0)+P(x=1)]\\\\\\P(x=0)=\dbinom{20}{0}\cdot0.08^{0}\cdot0.92^{20}=1\cdot1\cdot0.189=0.189\\\\\\P(x=1)=\dbinom{20}{1}\cdot0.08^{1}\cdot0.92^{19}=20\cdot0.08\cdot0.205=0.328\\\\\\\\P(x\geq2)=1-[0.189+0.328]\\\\P(x\geq2)=1-0.517=0.483

The probability that there are 2 or more fraudulent online retail orders in the sample is 0.483.

                                         Three friends are renting
nexus9112 [7]

It is given that:

Monthly Rent = A

Total Money Paid to Landlord = Y

The landlord requires initial payment to include:

  • 1st month's rent
  • \frac{1}{2} month's rent or 50% of monthly rent for Security Deposit
  • 40% of monthly rent for  utility bills
  • 5% of monthly rent for health club
  • 13% of monthly rent per person for other services

Also, Total Amount Paid to the Landlord = $2574

Number of People Sharing the Apartment = 3

Basis the above information,

Y = (100% * A) + (50% * A) + (40% * A) + (5% * A) + (13% * A * 3)

⇒ Y = A + (0.5 * A) + (0.4 * A) + (0.05 * A) + (0.39 * A)

⇒ Y = A + (0.5 * A) + (0.4 * A) + (0.05 * A) + (0.39 * A)

⇒ Y = 2.34 * A

Substituting the value of Y to determine A

⇒ 2,574 = 2.34 * A

⇒ A = 1,100

Hence, the monthly rent is $1,100

Irene's mean score on 5 tests is 88%. What is
Anestetic [448]

Answer: The least score she can get on her next test is 455 points.

Step-by-step explanation: From the available information, her current mean score is 88%, and that was achieved from a total of 5 tests. Hence, her mean score was computed as follows;

Mean = (Summation of data)/observed data

Where the observed data is 5 and the mean is 88. Therefore the mean can now be expressed as,

88 = Summation of data/5

By cross multiplication we now have

88 x 5 = Summation of data

440 = Summation of data.

So, if she wants to raise her mean score on her next test to 91%, her least possible score would be derived as

91 = (Summation of data)/5

By cross multiplication we now have

91 x5 = Summation of data

455 = Summation of data

Therefore, on her next test, she must score at least 455 points.

To test if the mean IQ of employees in an organization is greater than 100, a sample of 30 employees is taken and the value of t
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

p_v =P(t_{(29)}>1.42)=0.0831  

For this case the p value calculated is higher than the significance level used of 0.05 so then we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis and the best conclusion for this case would be:

a) do not reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the mean IQ is not greater than 100

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given

We want to verify if he mean IQ of employees in an organization is greater than 100 , the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:\mu \leq 100  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu > 100  

The statistic for this case is given by:

t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}  (1)  

The statistic calculated for this case  t_{calc}= 1.42

The degrees of freedom are given by:

df=n-1=30-1=29  

Now we can find the p value using tha laternative hypothesis and we got:

p_v =P(t_{(29)}>1.42)=0.0831  

For this case the p value calculated is higher than the significance level used of 0.05 so then we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis and the best conclusion for this case would be:

a) do not reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the mean IQ is not greater than 100
