The College Board reported the following mean scores for the three parts of the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) (The World Almana

c, 2009): Critical Reading 502 Mathematics 515 Writing 494Assume that the population standard deviation on each part of the test is = 100.a. What is the probability a sample of 90 test takers will provide a sample mean test score within 10 points of the population mean of 502 on the Critical Reading part of the test (to 4 decimals)?b. What is the probability a sample of 90 test takers will provide a sample mean test score within 10 points of the population mean of 515 on the Mathematics part of the test (to 4 decimals)?c.

Answer:

a) P(492

And we can use excel or the normal standard table to find this probability:

P(-0.949 < Z< 0.949)= P(Z

b) P(505

And we can use excel or the normal standard table to find this probability:

P(-0.949 < Z< 1.898)= P(Z

c) P(484

And we can use excel or the normal standard table to find this probability:

P(-1 < Z< 1)= P(Z

Explanation:

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".  

Part a

Let X the random variable that represent the scores for critical reading of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(502,100)  

Where \mu=502 and \sigma=100

We select a sample of size n=90, since the distribution for X is normal then the distribution for the sample size is also normal

\bar X \sim N(\mu, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}=\frac{100}{\sqrt{90}}=10.54)

And for this case we want this probability:

P(502-10 < \bar X < 502+10)

And for this case we can use the z score given by:

z= \frac{\bar X -\mu}{\sigma_{\bar x}}

And if we use this formula we got:

P(492

And we can use excel or the normal standard table to find this probability:

P(-0.949 < Z< 0.949)= P(Z

Part b

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

X \sim N(515,100)  

Where \mu=515 and \sigma=100

We select a sample of size n=90, since the distribution for X is normal then the distribution for the sample size is also normal

\bar X \sim N(\mu, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}=\frac{100}{\sqrt{90}}=10.54)

And for this case we want this probability:

P(515-10 < \bar X < 515+10)

And for this case we can use the z score given by:

z= \frac{\bar X -\mu}{\sigma_{\bar x}}

And if we use this formula we got:

P(505

And we can use excel or the normal standard table to find this probability:

P(-0.949 < Z< 1.898)= P(Z

Part c

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

X \sim N(494,100)  

Where \mu=494 and \sigma=100

We select a sample of size n=100, since the distribution for X is normal then the distribution for the sample size is also normal

\bar X \sim N(\mu, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}=\frac{100}{\sqrt{100}}=10)

And for this case we want this probability:

P(494-10 < \bar X < 494+10)

And for this case we can use the z score given by:

z= \frac{\bar X -\mu}{\sigma_{\bar x}}

And if we use this formula we got:

P(484

And we can use excel or the normal standard table to find this probability:

P(-1 < Z< 1)= P(Z

marissa [1.9K]

Question: The options were not given in the question. here are the options;

a. 50%

b. 75%

c. 5%

d. 95%

e. 25%

Answer:

The correct option is D. 95%

Explanation:

ROP = demand during lead time + (Z * standard deviation of lead time demand)

15 = 10 + (Z * 3)

Z = 1.667

For Z = 1.667, service level is nearly 95%

Springer Products manufactures three different product lines, Model X, Model Y, and Model Z. Considerable market demand exists f
Zina [86]

Answer:

Model Y

Explanation:

Calculation for the which model is the most profitable to produce

Using this formula

Most profitable to produce=Selling price-Direct materials-Direct labor-Variable support costs

Let plug in the formula

Model X $52 - $8 - $16- $5 = $23

Model Y $60 - $8- $16 - $10 = $26 Most profitable

Model Z $74- $8 - $33 - $10 = $24

Therefore the model that is the most profitable to produce is MODEL Y because it has the highest amount of $26

Jason rents rooms in his hotel for an average of $100 per night. The variable cost per rented room is $20. His fixed costs are $
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

D) 1,500

Explanation:

rent per room =$100 dollars

variable cost= $ 20 dollars

fixed cost =$ 100,000.00

desired profits=$ 20,000.00

volume(V) to meet profit target;

Contribution margin per sale= $100-$20= $80

Profits = revenue-cost

=$20,000= Vx$80-$100,000

=20,000=v80-100000

   v80=100,000.00+20,000

    v80=120,000

         v=  120,000/80

Volume =1,500
