Based on past experience, a telemarketing firm has found that calls to prospective customers take an average of 2.0 minutes, wit

h a standard deviation of 1.5 minutes. The distribution is positively skewed since persons who actually become customers require more of the caller’s time than those who are not home, who simply hang up, or who say they’re not interested. Albert has been given a quota of 220 calls for tomorrow, and he works an 8-hour day. Assuming that this list represents a simple random sample of those persons who could be called, what is the probability that Albert will meet or exceed his quota?

Answer: Our required probability would be 0.9641.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of hours he works a day = 8

So, Number of minutes he worked in a day = 8\times 60=480\ minutes

Number of calls = 220

So, Average =\bar{x}=\dfrac{480}{220}=2.18\ minutes

Standard deviation =s=\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{1.5}{\sqrt{220}}=0.10

Mean = μ = 2.0 minutes

Standard deviation = σ = 1.5 minutes

Using the normal distribution, we get that

z=\dfrac{\bar{x}-\mu}{s}\\\\z=\dfrac{2.18-2.0}{0.10}\\\\z=1.8

So, the probability that Albert will meet or exceed his quota would be

P(X\leq 2.18)=P(z\leq 1.8)=0.9641

Hence, our required probability would be 0.9641.

Katarina [22]

Chebyshev’s Theorem establishes that at least 1 - 1/k²  of the population lie among k standard deviations from the mean.

This means that for k = 2,  1 - 1/4 = 0.75. In other words, 75% of the total population would be the percentage of healthy adults with body temperatures that are within 2standard deviations of the mean.

The maximum value of that range would be simply  μ + 2s, where μ is the mean and s the standard deviation. In the same way, the minimum value would be μ - 2s:

maximum = μ + 2s = 98.16˚F + 2*0.56˚F = 99.28˚F

minimum = μ - 2s = 98.16˚F - 2*0.56˚F  = 97.04˚F

In summary, at least 75% of the amount of healthy adults have a body temperature within 2 standard deviations of 98.16˚F, that is to say, a body temperature between 97.04˚F and 99.28˚F.

Answers:

10.  28.3 cm²

11. 7.3 cm²

12. P: 32 yds, A: 76.8 sq yds

13. P: 64 units, A: 220.8 units

14.  50.3 cm²

15. 132.7 cm²

16. 9.7 in

17. 5.9 cm

18.  324.08 sq inches.

19. 39 cm²

20. 36.6 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

10. Find the area of the shaded region.

It's a circle, let's first calculate its area, with the formula A = π * r²

A = π  * 6² = 36 π  = 113.1 cm²

The shaded area has a 90 degrees angle... so it's 1/4 of the whole circle.

The area of the shaded area of this circle is then: 113.1 * 1/4 = 28.275 cm²

Rounded to the tenths, that's of course 28.3 cm²

11. Find the area of the shaded region.

Again, let's first find the area of the complete circle, with A =  π * r²

A =  π * 4² = 16π  = 50.27 cm²

Now, let's find the angle for the shaded area.

A circle has 360 degrees, and we know the angles of 2 segments... so we can easily find the missing angle:

360 - 203 - 105 = 52

The shaded area has an arc of 52 degrees, so we multiply the area of the full circle by 52/360 to get the area of that shaded area:

(50.27 * 52) / 360 = 7.26 cm², rounded to the tenths: 7.3 cm²

12. Find perimeter AND area of this regular polygon.

The figure is a regular octagon (8 sides).

To calculate its perimeter, it's simply 8 times one side, so: 8 * 4 yd = 32 yds

For the area, you can view an octagon as 8 triangles joined together.  In this case, we have a base of 4 yds and a height of 4.8 yds, so the area of each triangle is: (4 * 4.8) /2 = 9.6, the total area of the octagon is then 8 * 9.6 = 76.8 yds

13. Find perimeter AND area of this regular polygon.

The figure is a regular octagon (8 sides).

To calculate its perimeter, it's simply 8 times one side, so: 8 * 8 = 64 units

For the area, you can view an octagon as 8 triangles joined together.  In this case, we have a base of 4 yds and a height of 4.8 yds, so the area of each triangle is: (8 * 6.9) /2 = 27.6, the total area of the octagon is then 8 * 27.6 = 220.8 units

14. Find the area of a circle of <u>radius</u> = 4 cm

We have a circle with a radius of 4 cm, we need to find its area.

The area of a circle is obtained by the formula: A = π * r²

We already have the value of r, so we will input it in the formula:

So, we'll have A = π * 4² = 16 * π = 50.27 cm²

Rounded to the tenths: 50.3 cm²

15. Find the area of a circle of <u>diameter</u> 13 cm

We have a circle with a diameter of 13 cm, we need to find its area.  To use the formula for the area, we need the radius, not the diameter.  Since the diameter is 13 cm, the radius is 6.5

The area of a circle is obtained by the formula: A = π * r²

So, we'll have A = π * 6.5² = 42.25 * π = 132.73 cm²

Rounded to the tenths: 132.7 cm²

16. Find the diameter of a circle with an area of 75 in².

We just used the area formula for a circle, based on the radius.  We'll process it in reverse from the area to get the radius... which will give us the diameter, so r² = A / π

We then have:  r² = 75 / π = 23.87

So, r = 4.88 (square root of 23.87), which we double to get the diameter: 9.76 in, rounded to 9.7 in.

17. Find the radius of a circle with an area of 108 cm².

We just used the area formula for a circle, based on the radius.  We'll process it in reverse from the area to get the radius, so r² = A / π

If we input the area given in the question into the formula, we have:  r² = 108 / π = 34.38 cm

So, r = 5.86 (square root of 34.38), rounded to 5.9 cm.

18. Find the area

We have here a half-circle with a triangle.

We just used the formula for the area of a circle, and we know the radius of that half-circle: 8 inches.

A = π * 8² = 64 * π = 201.06 sq inches, for the whole circle.

But we only have half of it, so 201.06 / 2 = 100.08 sq inches.

Now the triangle.  To calculate the area of a triangle, you multiply its base by its height, then you divide by 2, so:

A = 16 x 28 = 224 sq inches.

Which we add to the half-circle area (100.08 sq inches) to get 324.08 sq inches. So 324.1 sq inches once rounded to the tenths.

19. Find the area

We have a triangle on top of a rectangle.

Area of a triangle: (base * height) / 2.

Area of a rectangle: base * height

So, for the triangle: A = (6 * 3) / 2 = 9 cm²

And for the rectangle: A = 6 * 5 = 30 cm²

Total: 9 + 30 = 39 cm²

20. Find the area

We have a rectangle and a half circle.  The radius of the half-circle is: 2 cm (half of the height of the rectangle).

Area of the rectangle: base * height, so 6 * 4 = 24 cm²

Area of the circle:  π * r² = π * 2² = 4π = 12.56 cm²

Total for the figure: 24 + 12.56 = 36.56, or 36.6 cm² once rounded.
