Suppose that the population mean for income is $50,000, while the population standard deviation is 25,000. If we select a random

sample of 1,000 people, what is the probability that sample will have a mean that is greater than $52,000?

Answer:

Probability that the sample will have a mean that is greater than $52,000 is 0.0057.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the population mean for income is $50,000, while the population standard deviation is 25,000.

We select a random sample of 1,000 people.

<em>Let </em>\bar X<em> = sample mean</em>

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

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

where, \mu = population mean = $50,000

            \sigma = population standard deviation = $25,000

            n = sample of people = 1,000

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.

So, probability that the sample will have a mean that is greater than $52,000 is given by = P(\bar X > $52,000)

  P(\bar X > $52,000) = P( \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } > \frac{52,000-50,000}{\frac{25,000}{\sqrt{1,000} } } ) = P(Z > 2.53) = 1 - P(Z \leq 2.53)

                                                                    = 1 - 0.9943 = 0.0057

<em>Now, 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 = 2.53 in the z table which has an area of 0.9943.</em>

Therefore, probability that the sample will have a mean that is greater than $52,000 is 0.0057.

Simplify -3d^8(-4d^-14). Assume d =/ 0​
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

\frac{12}{d^6}

Step-by-step explanation:

-3d^8\left(-4d^{-14}\right)

Double negative = Positive:

3d^8*4d^{-14}

Apply negative exponent formula:

3*d^8*4*\frac{1}{d^{14}}

Multiply:

\frac{12d^8}{d^{14}}

Apply exponent rule: \frac{x^a}{x^b}=\frac{1}{x^{b-a}}

Thus, \frac{12}{d^{14-8}}

Simplify:

\frac{12}{d^6}

The number of subscribers to a streaming video service doubles each week.
Ilya [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an exponential equation that is solved by taking the natural log of both sides.  The equation is

f(x)=2^x

If we are looking for x when f(x) = 64, then

64=2^x

Take the natural log of both sides:

ln(64)=ln(2^x)

The rules of logs allows us to bring the x down in front:

ln(64)=xln(2)

Divide both sides by ln(2) to get:

\frac{ln(64)}{ln(2)}=x

Do this on your calculator to get that x = 6.

You could also have just gone right to your calculator and started raising 2 to consecutive powers starting at like 3 or 4 to eventually get that 2 to the 6th power is equal to 64, but for the basics of solving log equations, you need to know how to do this.

A fruit company delivers its fruit in two types of boxes: large and small. A delivery of
Tema [17]

Answer:

Small box weighs 13.75 kg & large box weighs 15.75 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write 2 simultaneous equation and solve for weight of each box.

<em>Let weight of large box be l and small box be s.</em>

<em />

"<u>3 large boxes and  5 small boxes has a total weight of  116 kilograms</u>":

3l+5s=116

and

"<u>9 large boxes and  7 small boxes has a total weight of  238 kilograms</u>":

9l+7s=238

<em>Now we can solve for l in the 1st equation and put it into 2nd equation and get s:</em>

<em>3l+5s=116\\3l=116-5s\\l=\frac{116-5s}{3}</em>

<em>now,</em>

<em>9l+7s=238\\9(\frac{116-5s}{3})+7s=238\\3(116-5s)+7s=238\\348-15s+7s=238\\348-238=15s-7s\\110=8s\\s=\frac{110}{8}=13.75</em>

<em />

<em>now we plug in 13.75 into s into equation of l to find s:</em>

<em>l=\frac{116-5s}{3}\\l=\frac{116-5(13.75)}{3}\\l=15.75</em>
