Subtotal: 7.50 + 5.25 = $12.75
Tip = 0.15(Subtotal)
Total = Subtotal + Tip = Subtotal + (0.15)Subtotal = 1.15(Subtotal) = 1.15(12.75) = 14.6625 --> Choice B ($14.66) is the closest

TRAVIS AND PAULA SPEND FOR LUNCH 7.50+5.25=12.75 DOLLARS
WE NEED TO FIND OUT HOW MUCH IS 1% OUT OF 12.75 WHICH IS
12.75/100=.1275
.1275*15=1.91 TIP LEFT
12.75+1.91=14.66

The CPA Practice Advisor reports that the mean preparation fee for 2017 federal income tax returns was $273. Use this price as t

skad [1K]

Answer:

a) 0.6212 = 62.12% probability that the mean price for a sample of 30 federal income tax returns is within $16 of the population mean.

b) 0.7416 = 74.16% probability that the mean price for a sample of 50 federal income tax returns is within $16 of the population mean.

c) 0.8804 = 88.04% probability that the mean price for a sample of 100 federal income tax returns is within $16 of the population mean.

d) None of them ensure, that one which comes closer is a sample size of 100 in option c), to guarantee, we need to keep increasing the sample size.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

The CPA Practice Advisor reports that the mean preparation fee for 2017 federal income tax returns was $273. Use this price as the population mean and assume the population standard deviation of preparation fees is $100.

This means that $\mu = 273, \sigma = 100$

A) What is the probability that the mean price for a sample of 30 federal income tax returns is within $16 of the population mean?

Sample of 30 means that $n = 30, s = \frac{100}{\sqrt{30}}$

The probability is the p-value of Z when X = 273 + 16 = 289 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 273 - 16 = 257. So

X = 289

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

By the Central Limit Theorem

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}$

$Z = \frac{289 - 273}{\frac{100}{\sqrt{30}}}$

$Z = 0.88$

$Z = 0.88$ has a p-value of 0.8106

X = 257

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}$

$Z = \frac{257 - 273}{\frac{100}{\sqrt{30}}}$

$Z = -0.88$

$Z = -0.88$ has a p-value of 0.1894

0.8106 - 0.1894 = 0.6212

0.6212 = 62.12% probability that the mean price for a sample of 30 federal income tax returns is within $16 of the population mean.

B) What is the probability that the mean price for a sample of 50 federal income tax returns is within $16 of the population mean?

Sample of 30 means that $n = 50, s = \frac{100}{\sqrt{50}}$

X = 289

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

By the Central Limit Theorem

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}$

$Z = \frac{289 - 273}{\frac{100}{\sqrt{50}}}$

$Z = 1.13$

$Z = 1.13$ has a p-value of 0.8708

X = 257

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}$

$Z = \frac{257 - 273}{\frac{100}{\sqrt{50}}}$

$Z = -1.13$

$Z = -1.13$ has a p-value of 0.1292

0.8708 - 0.1292 = 0.7416

0.7416 = 74.16% probability that the mean price for a sample of 50 federal income tax returns is within $16 of the population mean.

C) What is the probability that the mean price for a sample of 100 federal income tax returns is within $16 of the population mean?

Sample of 30 means that $n = 100, s = \frac{100}{\sqrt{100}}$

X = 289

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

By the Central Limit Theorem

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}$

$Z = \frac{289 - 273}{\frac{100}{\sqrt{100}}}$

$Z = 1.6$

$Z = 1.6$ has a p-value of 0.9452

X = 257

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}$

$Z = \frac{257 - 273}{\frac{100}{\sqrt{100}}}$

$Z = -1.6$

$Z = -1.6$ has a p-value of 0.0648

0.9452 - 0.0648 =

0.8804 = 88.04% probability that the mean price for a sample of 100 federal income tax returns is within $16 of the population mean.

D) Which, if any of the sample sizes in part (a), (b), and (c) would you recommend to ensure at least a .95 probability that the same mean is withing $16 of the population mean?

None of them ensure, that one which comes closer is a sample size of 100 in option c), to guarantee, we need to keep increasing the sample size.

4-62. Find the area and perimeter of the<br> below shape.<br> 7.6 ft<br> 3 ft<br> 7 ft<br> 7 ft

stepladder [879]

Answer:

area= 59.5 perimeter=31.6

Step-by-step explanation:

the area of the square is 49 because 7x7=49 and the area of the triangle is 3x7/2 because it is half of a rectangle so it is 10.5 + 49 = 59.5 and perimeter you add all the sides so 3+7.6+7+7+7= 31.6

Evaluate $\dfrac{2\sqrt{72}}{\sqrt{8}+\sqrt{2}}$.

Pavlova-9 [17]

<h3>Answer: 4</h3>

========================================================

Work Shown:

$\frac{2\sqrt{72}}{\sqrt{8}+\sqrt{2}}\\\\\frac{2\sqrt{36*2}}{\sqrt{4*2}+\sqrt{2}}\\\\\frac{2\sqrt{36}*\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{4}*\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{2}}\\\\\frac{2*6*\sqrt{2}}{2*\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{2}}\\\\\frac{12\sqrt{2}}{2\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{2}}\\\\\frac{12\sqrt{2}}{3\sqrt{2}}\\\\\frac{12}{3}\\\\4$

Note in step 2, I factored each number in the square root to pull out the largest perfect square factor. From there, I used the rule that $\sqrt{A*B} = \sqrt{A}*\sqrt{B}$ to break up the roots.
