Answer:

3 batters

Step-by-step explanation:

For the past data, we have observed that:

15 batters have gotten a hit

5 batters have not

The total of batters that we have observed is

n = 15 + 5 = 20

Therefore, this means that based on the observed data, the probability that a batter gets a hit is:

p(hit)=\frac{n(h)}{n}=\frac{15}{20}=0.75

where

n(h) = 15 is the number of batters that got a hit

After that, we want to know how many batters we will expect to get a hit in the next 4 batters. We can write it as:

n(h) = 4 \cdot  p(hit)

And since

p(hit) = 0.75

We find:

n(h)=4\cdot 0.75 =3

So, we expect 3 batters to get a hit in the next 4.

A hair salon in Cambridge, Massachusetts, reports that on seven randomly selected weekdays, the number of customers who visited
morpeh [17]

Answer:

a: 28 < µ < 34

Step-by-step explanation:

We need the mean, var, and standard deviation for the data set.  See first attached photo for calculations for these...

We get a mean of 222/7 = 31.7143

and a sample standard deviation of: 4.3079

We can now construct our confidence interval.  See the second attached photo for the construction steps.

They want a 90% confidence interval.  Our sample size is 7, so since n < 30, we will use a t-score.  Look up the value under the 10% area in 2 tails column, and degree of freedom is 6 (degree of freedom is always 1 less than sample size for confidence intervals when n < 30)

The t-value is: 1.943

We rounded down to the nearest person in the interval because we don't want to over estimate.  It said 28.55, so more than 28 but not quite 29, so if we use 29 as the lower limit, we could over estimate.  It's better to use 28 and underestimate a little when considering customer flow.

What is the area of the shaded region of the figure
Alborosie
So we're looking at two rectangles, one cut out of the other, so all you do is find the area of the big one, base times height equals area, minus the area of the small one, base times height equals area. So the equation you have to solve for is this,

Area=(12.6X14)-(3X8.4)
