A production process is checked periodically by a quality control inspector. the inspector selects simple random samples of 30 f

inished products and computes the sample mean product weight. If test results over a long period of time show that 5% of the values are over 2.1 pounds and 5% are under 1.9 pounds, what are the mean and the standard deviation for the population of products produced with this process? What is the population mean? (to 1 decimal) What is the population standard deviation (to 2 decimals)?

Answer:

Population Mean = 2.0

Population Standard deviation = 0.03

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the inspector selects simple random samples of 30 finished products and computes the sample mean product weight.

Also, test results over a long period of time show that 5% of the values are over 2.1 pounds and 5% are under 1.9 pounds.

Now, mean of the population is given the average of two extreme boundaries because mean lies exactly in the middle of the distribution.

So,   Mean, \mu = \frac{1.9+2.1}{2} = 2.0

Therefore, mean for the population of products produced with this process is 2.

Since, we are given that 5% of the values are under 1.9 pounds so we will calculate the z score value corresponding to a probability of 5% i.e.

             z = -1.6449 {from z % table}

We know that z formula is given by ;  

                Z = \frac{Xbar - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } ~ N(0,1)

              -1.6449 = \frac{1.9 - 2.0}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }     ⇒  \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }  = \frac{-0.1}{-1.6449}  

                                           ⇒ \sigma = 0.0608 * \sqrt{30}  {as sample size is given 30}

                                           ⇒ \sigma = 0.03 .

Therefore, Standard deviation for the population of products produced with this process is 0.0333.

of 320 consumers polled, some purchase blu-ray movies, some only purchase movies on dvd, and some do both. if 300 people polled
Helga [31]

Answer:

20 people only buy dvds.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two groups in this problem. One group of people that buys dvds and one that buys blu rays. The total amount of people who buy blu rays is 300, but there's an intersection between the groups and the size of this is 280 people who actually buy both. In order to find out how many people only buy DVDs we first need to figure out how many only buy blu-rays. That is:

people who only buy blu rays = people who buy blu rays - people who buys blu rays and dvds

people who only buy blu rays = 300 - 280 = 20

We can now calculate the amount of people who only buy dvds and that is:

people who only buy dvds =total amount of people - ( people who only buy blu rays + people who buy both)

people who only buy dvds = 320 - (20 + 280) = 320 - 300 = 20 people
