i think it would be 4/15 because science is 6/15 and fiction is 5/15

The way I would do this problem would be to find a common denominator for both of the fractions.

5/15

6/15

And then we can find out how many books there are left.

5/15 + 6/15 is 11/15

11/15 books are about science and biography, the other 4/15 are fiction.

A small gym in Biloxi, Mississippi, averages about 50 customers on weekdays with a standard deviation of 10. It is safe to assum
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

It is very unusual as the probability to get a sample average of 75 or more customers if the manager had not offered the discount is 0.006    

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 50

Standard Deviation, σ = 10

We are given that the distribution of number of customers is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

In an attempt to increase the number of weekday customers, the manager offers a $10 membership discount on 5 consecutive weekdays and  the sample mean of customers during this weekday period jumps to 75.

Formula:

z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

a) P(sample average of 75 or more customers if the manager had not offered the discount)

P(x > 75)

P( x > 75) = P( z > \displaystyle\frac{75 - 50}{10}) = P(z > 2.5)

= 1 - P(z \leq 2.5)

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,  

P(x > 610) = 1 - 0.994 = 0.006= 0.6\%

It is very unusual as the probability to get a sample average of 75 or more customers if the manager had not offered the discount is 0.006

b) Yes, the managers discount strategy worked as it increased the average number of customers from 50 customers to 75 customers.
