A restaurant's receipts show that the cost of customers' dinners has a skewed distribution with a mean of $54 and a standard dev

iation of $18.
Based on this information, what is the probability that a randomly selected 100 customers will spend an average of less than $50 on dinner?

Answer:

1.32% probability that a randomly selected 100 customers will spend an average of less than $50 on dinner

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 random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, a large sample size can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 54, \sigma = 18, n = 100, s = \frac{18}{\sqrt{100}} = 1.8

Based on this information, what is the probability that a randomly selected 100 customers will spend an average of less than $50 on dinner?

This probability is the pvalue of Z when X = 50. So

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

Z = \frac{50 - 54}{1.8}

Z = -2.22

Z = -2.22 has a pvalue of 0.0132.

1.32% probability that a randomly selected 100 customers will spend an average of less than $50 on dinner

Technology required. A function f gives the number of stray cats in a town t years since
8090 [49]

This means that the number of stray cats in a town when the town started the animal control program is 729.

<h3>Exponential function</h3>

An exponential function is given by:

y = abˣ

Let y, x are variables, a is the initial value and b is the multiplication factor.

Where f is the number of stray cats in a town t years since the town started an animal control program.

Since f(t) = 729(\frac{1}{3} )^t

f(0) = 729(1/3)° = 729

This means that the number of stray cats in a town when the town started the animal control program is 729.

Find the value of x.
zepelin [54]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the Z theorem, the upper  angle on the right = 60 degrees.

The angle which includes 3x is 120  because this is a parallelogram and consecutive angles must add to 180. So 180 - 60 = 120

The angle above the 3x is 120 - 3x

120 - 3x + 90 + 2x = 180 These angles make a straight line line. Combine.

210 - x = 180                    Subtract 210 from both sides.

- x = 180 - 210                  Combine

-x = - 30                           Multiply both sides by - 1

x = 30
