A car dealership sells SUVs and passenger cars . For a recent year, 80 more SUVs were sold than passenger cars. If a total of 51

0 vehicles were sold, determine the number of each type of vehicle sold.

Answer:

295 SUVs were sold, and 215 passenger vehicles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let s and p represent the number of SUVs and p the number of passenger cars.

Then s = p + 80 and s + p = 510.

Substitute p + 80 for s in the second equation, obtaining:

p + 80 + p = 510, or:

2p = 430

Dividing both sides by 2 isolates p: p = 215.

Since s = p + 80, we add 80 to 215 here, obtaining s = 295.

295 SUVs were sold, and 215 passenger vehicles.

The overhead reach distances of adult females are normally distributed with a mean of 197.5 cm197.5 cm and a standard deviation

fiasKO [112]

Answer:

a) 5.37% probability that an individual distance is greater than 210.9 cm

b) 75.80% probability that the mean for 15 randomly selected distances is greater than 196.00 cm.

c) Because the underlying distribution is normal. We only have to verify the sample size if the underlying population is not normal.

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 question, we have that:

$\mu = 197.5, \sigma = 8.3$

a. Find the probability that an individual distance is greater than 210.9 cm

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 210.9. So

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

$Z = \frac{210.9 - 197.5}{8.3}$

$Z = 1.61$

$Z = 1.61$ has a pvalue of 0.9463.

1 - 0.9463 = 0.0537

5.37% probability that an individual distance is greater than 210.9 cm.

b. Find the probability that the mean for 15 randomly selected distances is greater than 196.00 cm.

Now $n = 15, s = \frac{8.3}{\sqrt{15}} = 2.14$

This probability is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 196. Then

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

$Z = \frac{196 - 197.5}{2.14}$

$Z = -0.7$

$Z = -0.7$ has a pvalue of 0.2420.

1 - 0.2420 = 0.7580

75.80% probability that the mean for 15 randomly selected distances is greater than 196.00 cm.

c. Why can the normal distribution be used in part (b), even though the sample size does not exceed 30?

The underlying distribution(overhead reach distances of adult females) is normal, which means that the sample size requirement(being at least 30) does not apply.

one-third of the people from country A claim that they are from country B, and the rest admit they are from country A. One-fourt

In-s [12.5K]

Answer: 3 : 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A represents the total population of country A and B represents the total population of country B.

According to the question,

$\text{The population of country A that admit they are from B} = \frac{1}{3}\text{ of }A$

⇒ $\text{ The population of A that admit they are from country A }= A - \frac{1}{3} \text{ of } A$

$= \frac{3-1}{3} A$

$= \frac{2}{3} A$

$\text{The population of country B that admit they are from A} = \frac{1}{4}\text{ of }B$

⇒ $\text{ The total population that claims that they are from A }= \frac{2}{3} A +\frac{1}{4} B$

But, Again according to the question,

The total population that claims that they are from A = one half of the total population of A and B.

⇒ $\frac{2}{3} A + \frac{1}{4} B= \frac{1}{2}(A+B)$

⇒ $\frac{2}{3} A + \frac{1}{4} B= \frac{1}{2}A+\frac{1}{2}B$

⇒ $\frac{2}{3} A + \frac{1}{4} B= \frac{1}{2}A+\frac{1}{2}B$

⇒ $\frac{2}{3} A - \frac{1}{2}A= \frac{1}{2}B-\frac{1}{4} B$

⇒ $\frac{4}{6} A - \frac{3}{6}A= \frac{2}{4}B-\frac{1}{4} B$

⇒ $\frac{1}{6} A = \frac{1}{4} B$

⇒ $A =\frac{6}{4}B$

⇒ $\frac{A}{B} =\frac{3}{2}$

Choose the best reason for using the median as the measure of central tendency.

Alchen [17]

Answer:

The median is usually preferred in these situations because the value of the mean can be distorted by the outliers. However, it will depend on how influential the outliers are. If they do not significantly distort the mean, using the mean as the measure of central tendency will usually be preferred.
