After 5 years the value of car will be: $7864

Step-by-step explanation:

Original Price = $24,000

Decrease in value = 20%

Resale value after 5 years = ?

The formula used will be:

$Resale\,\,value=Original\,\,price(1-\%\, decrease)^n$

Where n = no of years

and % decrease would be in decimal

So, 20% = 0.2

Putting values and finding resale value:

$Resale\,\,value=Original\,\,price(1-\%\, decrease)^n\\Resale\,\,value=24000(1-0.2)^5\\Resale\,\,value=24000(0.8)^5\\Resale\,\,value=24000(0.32768)\\Resale\,\,value=7864.32$

So, after 5 years the value of car will be: $7864

Peyton is collecting data on the lunch habits of students at Hyattsville Middle School. In one class, 14 students bring lunch fr

mart [117]

Answer:

Answer: Around 1000 students would buy a school lunch.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that in one class, 14 students bring lunch from home, and 20 buy lunch in the school. This will be our sample.

In total we have 20 + 14 = 34 students, this will be our 100%.

The percentage of students that bring lunch from home can be estimated as the quotient between the number of students that bring lunch from home and the total number of students, times 100%.

p1 = (14/34)*100% = 41.18%

And the percentage of students that buy lunch at school can be computed in the same way:

p2= (20/34)*100% = 58.82%

Then, out of the 1700 students in middle school, we can estimate that around 58.82% of them will buy lunch in the school.

Then the exact number will be:

N = (58.82%/100%)*1700 = 1000

Around 1000 students would buy a school lunch.

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

777dan777 [17]

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.
