The Insurance Institute reports that the mean amount of life insurance per household in the US is $110,000. This follows a norma

l distribution with a standard deviation of $40,000.

Answer:

a) \sigma_{\bar X} = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}= \frac{40000}{\sqrt{50}}= 5656.85

b) Since the distribution for X is normal then we know that the distribution for the sample mean \bar X is given by:

\bar X \sim N(\mu, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})

c) P( \bar X >112000) = P(Z>\frac{112000-110000}{\frac{40000}{\sqrt{50}}}) = P(Z>0.354)

And we can use the complement rule and we got:

P(Z>0.354) = 1-P(Z

d) P( \bar X >100000) = P(Z>\frac{100000-110000}{\frac{40000}{\sqrt{50}}}) = P(Z>-1.768)

And we can use the complement rule and we got:

P(Z>-1.768) = 1-P(Z

e) P(100000< \bar X

And we can use the complement rule and we got:

P(-1.768

Step-by-step explanation:

a. If we select a random sample of 50 households, what is the standard error of the mean?

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Let X the random variable that represent the amount of life insurance of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(110000,40000)  

Where \mu=110000 and \sigma=40000

If we select a sample size of n =35 the standard error is given by:

\sigma_{\bar X} = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}= \frac{40000}{\sqrt{50}}= 5656.85

b. What is the expected shape of the distribution of the sample mean?

Since the distribution for X is normal then we know that the distribution for the sample mean \bar X is given by:

\bar X \sim N(\mu, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})

c. What is the likelihood of selecting a sample with a mean of at least $112,000?

For this case we want this probability:

P(X > 112000)

And we can use the z score given by:

z= \frac{\bar X  -\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

And replacing we got:

P( \bar X >112000) = P(Z>\frac{112000-110000}{\frac{40000}{\sqrt{50}}}) = P(Z>0.354)

And we can use the complement rule and we got:

P(Z>0.354) = 1-P(Z

d. What is the likelihood of selecting a sample with a mean of more than $100,000?

For this case we want this probability:

P(X > 100000)

And we can use the z score given by:

z= \frac{\bar X  -\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

And replacing we got:

P( \bar X >100000) = P(Z>\frac{100000-110000}{\frac{40000}{\sqrt{50}}}) = P(Z>-1.768)

And we can use the complement rule and we got:

P(Z>-1.768) = 1-P(Z

e. Find the likelihood of selecting a sample with a mean of more than $100,000 but less than $112,000

For this case we want this probability:

P(100000

And we can use the z score given by:

z= \frac{\bar X  -\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

And replacing we got:

P(100000< \bar X

And we can use the complement rule and we got:

P(-1.768

Jill has $1.25 in her pocket. The money is in quarters and dimes. There are a total of 8 coins. How many quarters and dimes does
erica [24]

Answer:

  • 3 quarters
  • 5 dimes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let q represent the number of quarters (the higher-value coin). Then 8-q is the number of dimes, and Jill's total amount in change is ...

  0.25q +0.10(8-q) = 1.25

  0.15q + 0.80 = 1.25 . . . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  0.15q = 0.45 . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 0.80

  q = 3 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 0.15

  the number of dimes is 8-q = 8-3 = 5.

Jill has 3 quarters and 5 dimes.

A 6-ounce bag of raisins costs $2.46.An 8-ounce bag of raisins costs $3.20.Which is the better deal?
GenaCL600 [577]
So we need to compare them at the sam ounches


find the least common multiple (the smallest number that they will both multiply into)

first find the factors and group them all together, delete any repeats


6=2*3
8=2*2*2

least common multiple=2*2*2*3=24

so 6 bags=2.46
multiply by 4 to get 24
24 bags=9.84






so 8 bags=3.20
multply by 3
24 bags=9.60


9.84>9.60 so

the 8 ounce bag is less expensive
