Seven customers enter a clothing store and are observed to determine if they will make a purchase. The store owner states that t

here is a 75% chance of a customer making a purchase. The random variable x represents a customer making a purchase. Calculate the mean, variance and standard deviation for the number of customers that make a purchase.

Answer: Mean = 5.25

Variance = 1.3125

Standard deviation = 1.456

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean and variance of a binomial distribution with parameters n (number of trials) and p ( the probability of getting success in each trial) is given by :-

$\text{Mean}=np\\\\\text{Variance}=np(1-p)$

Given : The total number of enter a clothing store : n=7

The probability of a customer making a purchase= 0.75

Now,

$\text{Mean}=7(0.75)=5.25\\\\\text{Variance}=7(0.75)(0.25)=1.3125\\\\\Rightarrow\ \text{Standard deviation}=\sqrt{1.3125}=1.14564392374\approx1.1456$

A sample of size 6 will be drawn from a normal population with mean 61 and standard deviation 14. Use the TI-84 Plus calculator.

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

$X \sim N(61,14)$

Where $\mu=61$ and $\sigma=14$

Since the distribution for X is normal then the distribution for the sample mean is also normal and given by:

$\bar X \sim N(\mu, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})$

$\mu_{\bar X} = 61$

$\sigma_{\bar X}= \frac{14}{\sqrt{6}}= 5.715$

So then is appropiate use the normal distribution to find the probabilities for $\bar X$

Step-by-step 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". The letter $\phi(b)$ is used to denote the cumulative area for a b quantile on the normal standard distribution, or in other words: $\phi(b)=P(z$

Solution to the problem

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

$X \sim N(61,14)$

Where $\mu=61$ and $\sigma=14$

Since the distribution for X is normal then the distribution for the sample mean $\bar X$ is also normal and given by:

$\bar X \sim N(\mu, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})$

$\mu_{\bar X} = 61$

$\sigma_{\bar X}= \frac{14}{\sqrt{6}}= 5.715$

So then is appropiate use the normal distribution to find the probabilities for $\bar X$

Given: Q=7m+3n,R=11-2m,s=n+5,and T =-m-3n+8 simplify Q-[R+S]-T

Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

Simplify

$Q-[R+S]-T$

The answer is:

$10m+5n-24$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the expressions:

$Q=7m+3n\\R=11-2m\\S=n+5\\T=-m-3n+8$

Now, we need simplify:

$Q-[R+S]-T$

We need to replace each term by the expressions:

$7m+3n-[(11-2m)+(n+5)]-(-m-3n+8)$

We need to remember the rule of signs:

$-/-=+$

$-/+=-$

$+/+=+$

With this in mind we solve the parentheses:

$7m+3n-[(11-2m)+(n+5)]-(-m-3n+8)$

$7m+3n-[11-2m+n+5]+m+3n-8$

$7m+3n-11+2m-n-5+m+3n-8$

let's group common terms

$7m+3n-11+2m-n-5+m+3n-8\\7m+2m+m+3n-n+3n-11-5-8$

We must add and subtract common terms:

$7m+2m+m+3n-n+3n-11-5-8\\10m+5n-24$

The answer is:

$10m+5n-24$
