The manager of a warehouse would like to know how many errors are made when a product’s serial number is read by a bar-code read

er. Six samples are collected of the number of scanning errors: 36, 14, 21, 39, 11, and 2 errors, per 1,000 scans each.
1A.] What is the mean and standard deviation for these six samples?
2A.] What number of errors is made by all scans, based on these six samples?

Just to be sure, the manager has six more samples taken:
33, 45, 34, 17, 1, and 29 errors, per 1,000 scans each
1B.] How do the mean and standard deviation change, based on all 12 samples?
2B.] How reasonable is it to expect that the small sample represents larger samples?

Answer:

1A. 20.5

2A. 14.54

1B. 14.625

2B. quite good reasonable

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean is used to measure central tendency (i.e. representative of data) and standard deviation is use to measure dispersion of data. The formula use to calculate mean and variance is :

Mean(bar{x}) = \dfrac{Sum of all the observations}{Total number of observation}

Standard deviation(\sigma) = \sqrt{\frac{1}{n} \sum_{i=1}^{n}(x_{i}-\bar{x})^2}

1A. Mean of six sample =

= \dfrac{Sum of all the observations}{Total number of observation}

⇒ \dfrac{36+14+21+39+11+2}{6}

⇒ Mean = 20.5

Standard deviation of six sample =

= \sqrt{\frac{1}{6}[ (36-20.5)^2+(14-20.5)^2+(21-20.5)^2+(39-20.5)^2+(11-20.5)^2+(2-20.5)^2}]

⇒ σ = 14.54

2A. Total number of error = 36 + 14 + 21 + 39 + 11 + 2 = 123

Total number of error made by all scans is 123 error per 6000 scans.

1B. Mean of all 12 samples is:

= \dfrac{Sum of all the observations}{Total number of observation}

⇒ \dfrac{36+14+21+39+11+2+33+45+34+17+1+29}{12}

⇒ Mean = 23.5

Standard deviation of all 12 samples =

= \sqrt{\frac{1}{12}[ (36-23.5)^2+(14-23.5)^2+(21-23.5)^2+(39-23.5)^2+(11-23.5)^2+(2-23.5)^2+(33-23.5)^2+(45-23.5)^2+(34-23.5)^2+(17-23.5)^2+(1-23.5)^2+(29-23.5)^2}]

⇒ σ = 14.625

2B. Taking small sample instead of large sample can be quite risky sometimes as larger sample give us more accurate result than small sample.

But here we can take a small sample because the mean of both the size of the sample is near about.

Cost of the student ticket to the school play is $7. Write an equation that correctly relates the total cost, c,
Molodets [167]

Complete question :

The cost of a student ticket to the school play is $7. Write an equation that correctly relates the total cost, c, for a particular number, s, of student tickets purchased. Identify the independent and dependent variable.

Answer:

Dependent variable = Total cost

Independent variable = number of students

Step-by-step explanation:

The total cost equation is :

Total cost, c = cost per ticket * number of tickets

c = 7 * s

c = 7s

The Independent variable also called the predictor variable is the number of students in the scenario described above as it is the variable upon which the total cost relies. It dictates the value of the output or dependent variable. As we vary the value of the Independent variable, number of students, the total cost which is the dependent variable also varies. The dependent variable on the other hand is the predicted value or variable which is controlled by the independent variable. The dependent variable in this case is the total cost, c

Write the standard form of the line that passes through the given points (6,1) and (5,4)
Serggg [28]

The standard form:

Ax+By=C

The point-slope form:

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

m - slope

The formula of a slope:

m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

We have the points (6, 1) and (5, 4). Substitute:

m=\dfrac{4-1}{5-6}=\dfrac{3}{-1}=-3

y-1=-3(x-1)      <em>use distributive property</em>

y-1=-3x+3          <em>add 1 to both sides</em>

y=-3x+4         <em>add 3x to both sides</em>

\boxed{3x+y=4}
