Answer:

The cost of a sheet metal per square foot is $30

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Size of Sheet Metal = 8.2ft squared

Used Sheet Metal = 3.5ft squared

Worth of leftover sheet = $141

Equation: 8.2x - 3.5x = 141

Required

Find the cost per square foot of the sheet metal

Solving for x in the above equation will give the cost per square foot of the sheet metal.

8.2x - 3.5x = 141

4.7x = 141

Divide both sides by 4.7

\frac{4.7x}{4.7} = \frac{141}{4.7}

x = \frac{141}{4.7}

x = 30

Hence, the cost of a sheet metal per square foot is $30

kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

(b) \frac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

1 male named Bart (b)

3 females named Charlene(c), Diana(d), and Erin(e).

Since there is replacement, the possible samples are:

bb, bc, be, bd, cb, cc, cd, ce, db, dc, dd, de, eb, ec, ed, and ee.

Total Number of pairs = 16

Event of picking 2 males:bb

Event of 1 male:bc,cb,bd,db,be,eb

Event of picking 0 males:

cc, cd, ce, dc, dd, de, ec, ed, and ee.

\begin{equation*} \begin{matrix}Proportion of males & Probability \\0 & 9/16 \\1 & 6/16 \\2 & 1/16 \end{matrix} \end{equation*}

b. The mean of the sampling distribution

\mu = (\frac{9}{16} X0 ) +(\frac{6}{16} X 1)+(\frac{1}{16} X 2) = \frac{8}{16} = \frac{1}{2}

c.  No; the proportion of males is \frac{1}{4} while the mean is \frac{1}{2}.

B. No, the sample mean is not equal to the population proportion of males. These values are not always equal, because proportion is an unbiased estimator.
