A gun shop sells gunpowder. Monthly demand for gunpowder is normally distributed,averages 20 pounds, and has a standard deviatio

n of 2 pounds. The shop manager wishesto stock gunpowder inventory at the beginning of each month so that there is only a 2%chance that the shop will run out of gunpowder (i.e., that demand will exceed inventory)in any given month.Calculate the amount of gunpowder to stock in inventory, in pounds.

Answer:

Option (C) 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the random variable denoting the amount of gunpowder in the shop be 'x'.

x ~ N(20, 2) i.e. (x-20)/2 ~ (0, 1)

Let 'a' be the amount (in pounds) of gunpowder to stock in inventory.

Thus, P(x<a) = 1 - 0.02 = 0.98

i.e. P[(x-20)/2<(a-20)/2] = 0.98

i.e. ф [(a-2)/2] = 0.98

i.e. (a-20)/2 = ф⁻¹ (0.98) = 2.054

i.e. a = 20 + (2 × 2.054) = 24.108 ≈ 24 pounds

24 pounds of gunpowder to stock in inventory.

Option (C) 24

Calculate the area of triangle ABC with altitude CD, given A(6,-2) B(1,3) C(5,5) D(2,2)
Vikki [24]
The area will be half the product of the lengths of AB and CD.

|AB| = √((6-1)² +(-2-3)²) = 5√2
|CD| = √((5-2)² +(5-2)²) = 3√2

Area = (1/2)*(5√2)*(3√2) = (1/2)*(15*2) = 15

The appropriate choice is ...

A researcher found a study relating the value of a car, y, to the age of the car, x. When researchers looked at the association
vredina [299]

Answer: c) About 16% of the variation in value of the car is explained by a linear relationship with the age of the car.

e) The correlation coefficient, r, is 0.397.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Coefficient of determination (r²) between two variables, age of car (x) and value of car (y) = 0.158

Correlation of determination (r²) of 0.158 = (0.158 × 100% = 15.8% of the variation between the two variables can be explained by the regression line). Hence, about 16% of the variation between age and value of car can be explained by the linear relationship.

Coefficient of correlation (r) = sqrt(r²) = sqrt(0.158) = 0.397
