The mean amount purchased by a typical customer at Churchill's Grocery Store is $26.00 with a standard deviation of $6.00. Assum

e the distribution of amounts purchased follows the normal distribution. For a sample of 62 customers, answer the following questions.
(a)
What is the likelihood the sample mean is at least $27.00? (Round z value to 2 decimal places and final answer to 4 decimal places.)

Probability

(b)
What is the likelihood the sample mean is greater than $25.00 but less than $27.00? (Round z value to 2 decimal places and final answer to 4 decimal places.)

Probability

(c)
Within what limits will 90 percent of the sample means occur? (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

Answer:

a) 0.0951

b) 0.8098

c) Between $24.75 and $27.25.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need 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 normally distributed random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 26, \sigma = 6, n = 62, s = \frac{6}{\sqrt{62}} = 0.762

(a)

What is the likelihood the sample mean is at least $27.00?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 27. So

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

Z = \frac{27 - 26}{0.762}

Z = 1.31

Z = 1.31 has a pvalue of 0.9049

1 - 0.9049 = 0.0951

(b)

What is the likelihood the sample mean is greater than $25.00 but less than $27.00?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 27 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 25. So

X = 27

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

Z = \frac{27 - 26}{0.762}

Z = 1.31

Z = 1.31 has a pvalue of 0.9049

X = 25

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

Z = \frac{25 - 26}{0.762}

Z = -1.31

Z = -1.31 has a pvalue of 0.0951

0.9049 - 0.0951 = 0.8098

c)Within what limits will 90 percent of the sample means occur?

50 - 90/2 = 5

50 + 90/2 = 95

Between the 5th and the 95th percentile.

5th percentile

X when Z has a pvalue of 0.05. So X when Z = -1.645

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

-1.645 = \frac{X - 26}{0.762}

X - 26 = -1.645*0.762

X = 24.75

95th percentile

X when Z has a pvalue of 0.95. So X when Z = 1.645

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

1.645 = \frac{X - 26}{0.762}

X - 26 = 1.645*0.762

X = 27.25

Between $24.75 and $27.25.

(2x/3)-(5x/9)-(x/6)-(5x/12)=13/2 this equation is equivalent to:
agasfer [191]

Answer:

-17x=234

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

\dfrac{2x}{3}-\dfrac{5x}{9}-\dfrac{x}{6}-\dfrac{5x}{12}=\dfrac{13}{2}

\dfrac{72x-60x -18x-45x }{108} = \dfrac{13}{2}

\dfrac{-51x }{108} = \dfrac{13}{2}

-102x =    1404

-\dfrac{102x}{6} = \dfrac{1404}{6}

-17x = 234

Answer:

125 defective jeans

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that;

During inspections, 5 defective pairs of jeans are found in a shipment of 200 pairs of jeans .

We are supposed to determine the number of defective jeans in a shipment of 5000 pairs, if the trend continues.

Therefore;

5 defective = 200 pairs

What about in 5000 pairs?

Number of defective pairs = (5000 × 5 ) ÷ 200

                                            = 125 defective pairs

Thus, in a shipment of 5000 pairs of jeans there will be 125 defective pairs
