The manager of a computer retails store is concerned that his suppliers have been giving him laptop computers with lower than av

erage quality. His research shows that replacement times for the model laptop of concern are normally distributed with a mean of 3.3 years and a standard deviation of 0.6 years. He then randomly selects records on 50 laptops sold in the past and finds that the mean replacement time is 3.1 years.
Assuming that the laptop replacement times have a mean of 3.3 years and a standard deviation of 0.6 years, find the probability that 50 randomly selected laptops will have a mean replacement time of 3.1 years or less.
P(M < 3.1 years) =
Enter your answer as a number accurate to 4 decimal places. NOTE: Answers obtained using exact z-scores or z-scores rounded to 3 decimal places are accepted.

Based on the result above, does it appear that the computer store has been given laptops of lower than average quality?

No. The probability of obtaining this data is high enough to have been a chance occurrence.
Yes. The probability of this data is unlikely to have occurred by chance alone

Answer:

Probability that the 50 randomly selected laptops will have a mean replacement time of 3.1 years or less is 0.0092.

Yes. The probability of this data is unlikely to have occurred by chance alone.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the replacement times for the model laptop of concern are normally distributed with a mean of 3.3 years and a standard deviation of 0.6 years.

He then randomly selects records on 50 laptops sold in the past and finds that the mean replacement time is 3.1 years.

<em>Let M = sample mean replacement time</em>

The z-score probability distribution for sample mean is given by;

            Z = \frac{ M-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }} }  ~ N(0,1)

where, \mu = population mean replacement time = 3.3 years

            \sigma = standard deviation = 0.6 years

            n = sample of laptops = 50

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is away from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value (area) 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.

Now, Probability that the 50 randomly selected laptops will have a mean replacement time of 3.1 years or less is given by = P(M \leq 3.1 years)

 P(M \leq 3.1 years) = P( \frac{ M-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }} } \leq \frac{ 3.1-3.3}{\frac{0.6}{\sqrt{50} } }} } ) = P(Z \leq -2.357) = 1 - P(Z \leq 2.357)

                                                           = 1 - 0.99078 = <u>0.0092</u>  or  0.92%          

<em>So, in the z table the P(Z </em>\leq<em> x) or P(Z < x) is given. So, the above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 2.357 in the z table which will lie between x = 2.35 and x = 2.36 which has an area of 0.99078.</em>

Hence, the required probability is 0.0092 or 0.92%.

Now, based on the result above; <u>Yes, the computer store has been given laptops of lower than average quality</u> because the probability of this data is unlikely to have occurred by chance alone as the probability of happening the given event is very low as 0.92%.

Answer:

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the parallelograms are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal , that is

=  ( cross- multiply )

6x = 60 ( divide both sides by 6 )

x = 10

A diver jumps up and over from a cliff in order to avoid rocks and land in the deeper water. The path of the dive can be modeled
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

48.06  to the nearest hundredth.

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = -16x^2 + 2x + 48

To find the maximum height we convert to vertex form:

= -16(x^2 + 1/8x) + 48

= -16[x + 1/16)^2 - 1/256] + 48

= -16(x + 1.16)^2  + 16/256 + 48

= 48.0625.

seropon [69]
<h2>Answer with explanation:</h2>

In statistics, The Type II error occurs when the null hypothesis is false, but fails to be rejected.

Given : Suppose the null hypothesis, H_0, is: Darrell has enough money in his bank account to purchase a new television.

Then , Type II error in this scenario will be when the null hypothesis is false, but fails to be rejected.

i.e. Darrell has not enough money in his bank account to purchase a new television but fails to be rejected.

the scale from a square park to a drawing of the park is 5 m to 1 cm the actual park has an area of 1,600 m² what is the area of
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

<h2>64 cm²</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

given:

the scale from a square park to a drawing of the park is 5 m to 1 cm

the actual park has an area of 1,600 m²

find:

what is the area of the drawing of the park​

solution:

drawing scale is 5m : 1cm

<u>1,600 m² </u> = <u>      5² m²  </u>    

   x                  1² cm²

cross multiply:

5² m² x = 1600 m² (1 cm²)

x =<u> 1600 m² </u>

      5² m²

x = 64 cm²

therefore, the area of a square park in the drawing is 64 cm²
