. Assume the amounts of charges are normally distributed.

b.what percentage of customers charges less than $340 per month?
c.What percentage of customers charges between $644 and $700 per month?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the amounts of charges are assumed to be normally distributed,

we would apply the formula for normal distribution which is expressed as

z = (x - µ)/σ

Where

x = the amounts of charges.

µ = mean amount

σ = standard deviation

From the information given,

µ = $500

σ = $80

a) the probability that customers charges more than $380 per month is expressed as

P(x > 380) = 1 - P(x ≤ 380)

For x = 380,

z = (380 - 500)/80 = - 1.5

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.067

P(x > 380) = 1 - 0.067 = 0.933

The percentage of customers that charges more than $380 per month is

0.933 × 100 = 93.3%

b) the probability that customers charges less than $340 per month is expressed as

P(x < 340)

For x = 340,

z = (340 - 500)/80 = - 2

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.023

The percentage of customers that charges less than $340 per month is

0.023 × 100 = 2.3%

c) the probability that customers charges between $644 and $700 per month is expressed as

P(644 ≤ x ≤ 700)

For x = 644,

z = (644 - 500)/80 = 1.8

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.96

For x = 700,

z = (700 - 500)/80 = 2.5

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.994

P(644 ≤ x ≤ 700) = 0.994 - 0.96 = 0.034

The percentage of customers that charges between $644 and $700 per month is

0.034 × 100 = 3.4%

Answer:8

Step-by-step explanation: she makes $100 a day so you would subtract that from the total (276) then you would divide the remainder (176) by the amount she makes an hour (22) then you would end up with 8 hours

The answer is 24. To get from one term to the next, you have to find the difference. To get from 52 to 45, you minus 7. It is the same with the other terms. So 31 - 7 = 24

laila [671]

Complete Question

A survey is planned to estimate the proportion of voters who support a proposed gun control law. The estimate should be within a margin of error of ±5% with 90% confidence, and we do not have any prior knowledge about the proportion who might support the law. How many people need to be included in the sample?

Round your answer up to the nearest integer.

sample size = _____

Answer:

The sample size is n = 271    

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that  

   The margin of error is  E = 5% = 0.05

Generally given that there was no prior knowledge about the proportion of who might support the law, we will assume the sample proportion to be  

     \^ p =  0.5

From the question we are told the confidence level is  90% , hence the level of significance is    

      \alpha = (100 - 90 ) \%

=>   \alpha = 0.05

Generally from the normal distribution table the critical value  of  \frac{\alpha }{2} is  

   Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } =  1.645

Generally the sample size is mathematically represented as  

    n = [\frac{Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} }}{E} ]^2 * \^ p (1 - \^ p )

=>   n = [\frac{1.645 }{0.05} ]^2 * 0.5 (1 - 0.5 )

=>   n = 271
