th mean $135 and standard deviation $12. If you observe 50 households from this population, the probability that at least 15 of them have supermarket expenses of more than $140 in a given week is closest to which of the following?
a. 0.763
b. 0.660

Answer:

P(Y ≥ 15) = 0.763

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Mean =135

standard deviation = 12

sample size n  = 50

sample mean \overline x = 140

Suppose X is the random variable that follows a normal distribution which represents the weekly supermarket expenses

Then,

X \sim N ( \mu \sigma)

The probability that X is greater than 140 is :

P(X>140) = 1 - P(X ≤ 140)

P(X>140) = 1 - P( \dfrac{X-\mu}{\sigma} \leq \dfrac{140-135}{12})

P(X>140) = 1 - P( \dfrac{X-\mu}{\sigma} \leq \dfrac{5}{12})

P(X>140) = 1 - P( Z\leq0.42)

From z tables,

P(X>140) = 1 - 0.6628

P(X>140) = 0.3372

Similarly, let consider Y to be the variable that follows a binomial distribution of the no of household whose expense is greater than $140

Then;

Y \sim Binomial (np)

Y \sim Binomial (50,0.3372)

∴

P(Y ≥ 15) = 1- P(Y< 15)

P(Y ≥ 15) = 1 - ( P(Y=0) + P(Y=1) + P(Y=2) + ... + P(Y=14) )

P(Y \geq 15) = 1 - \begin {pmatrix} ^{50}_0 \end {pmatrix} (0.3372)^0 (1-0,3372)^{50} + \begin {pmatrix} ^{50}_1 \end {pmatrix} (0.3372)^1 (1-0,3372)^{49}  + \begin {pmatrix} ^{50}_2 \end {pmatrix} (0.3372)^2 (1-0,3372)^{48} +...  + \begin {pmatrix} ^{50}_{50{ \end {pmatrix} (0.3372)^{50} (1-0,3372)^{0}

P(Y ≥ 15) = 0.763

Function D models the depth of a submarine where D(x) is the depth in meters. When the submarine is x miles from its launching l

The correct option D; models the depth of the submarine.

<h3>Define the term parabola?</h3>
  • Parabola, also known as an open curve or conic section, is formed when a right circular cone and a plane perpendicular to one of the cone's elements cross.

When a submarine is x miles out of its launch place, we need to figure out which table best represents the depth of the submarine using the function d, wherein d(x) is the depth, in meters.

Both x = 5 as well as x = 40 have zeros.

Since it's a parabola,

D(x) = a(x-5)(x-40)

vertex = (22.5, -146)

Thus,

-146 = a(22.5-5)(22.5-40)

a = -146/(22.5-5)(22.5-40)

a = 0.4767

Put value of a in equation.

D(x) = a(x-5)(x-40)

D(x) = 0.4767(x-5)(x-40)

The equation above is quadratic function model.

We can see from the graph that:

(5) and (0), respectively, are points on the graph (40,0).

Consequently, if x = 5 when y = 0, then.

y(min) > -160.

Additionally, the table in option (D) represents the submarine's depth.
