A grocery store’s receipts show that Sunday customer purchases have a skewed distribution with a mean of $32 and a standard devi

ation of $20. a) Explain why you cannot determine the probability that the next Sunday customer will spend at least $40. b) Can you estimate the probability that the next 10 Sunday customers will spend an average of at least $40? Explain. c) Is it likely that the next 50 Sunday customers will spend an average of at least $40? Explain.

Answer:

a) This is because the Sunday customer purchases is skewed. b) For a highly skewed distribution, it is not possible but if it is slightly skewed, it is possible. c) approximately 0.0023  

Step-by-step explanation:

a) As stated in the question, the Sunday customer purchases is skewed, thus we cannot use the normal model to estimate the probability that the next Sunday customer will spend at least $40.

b) Using a sample of 10 Sunday customers won't be large enough to apply the Normal model for sampling. However, if it is just slightly skewed, the sample may be large enough for the analysis while if it is highly skewed it would be impossible to calculate the probability.

c) Using randomization principle, it can be assumed that 50 Sunday customer purchases can be considered a representative sample for all Sunday customer purchases. Using a 10% condition for the computation:

μ = μ_{ybar} = $32

σ_{ybar} = 20/\sqrt{50} = 2.828

Then, the z-score is:

z_{40} = (40-32)/2.828 = 2.83

Thus:

P (z ≥ 2.83) = normalcdf (2.83, E99, 0.1) = 0.0023

Therefore, the probability that the average of the Sunday customer purchases is  at least $40 is 0.0023

An investment firm invested in two companies last year. They invested $11,000 in Company A and made a profit of 24% . They inves
Tema [17]
First off, "whatever%" of "anything" is just (whatever/100) * anything

part A)

so... firm A got 11,000 invested, turned a profit of 24%, how much is 24% of 11000? well (24/100) * 11000

firm B got 14,000 invested, and returned 15% in profits, how much is 15% of 14000?   (15/100) * 14000

part B)

for the amounts above, we get 2640 and 2100 respectively

so, the total profit "amount" is 2640 + 2100 or 4740

the total investement was 11000+14000 = 25000

if 25000 is the 100%, how much is 4740 in percentage?

\bf \begin{array}{ccllll}
amount&\%\\
\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
25000&100\\
4740&x
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{25000}{4740}=\cfrac{100}{x}

solve for "x"

jake makes 9 loaves of olive bread. he uses 30 grams of olives in each loaf.he started with 1 kilogram of olives.how many grams
8090 [49]
Considering that 1 kilogram is equal to 1000 grams and he made 9 loaves of bread using 30 grams each time, that equates to 270 grams of olives. 1000 - 270 = 730. Your answer is 730 grams of olives remain. Hope this helped.
