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

PLZ HELP ASAP TANGENTS OF CIRCLES
bezimeni [28]
First, we are given that the inscribed angle of arc CB which is angle D is equal to 65°. This is half of the measure of the arc which is equal to the measure of the central angle, ∠O. 
 
    m∠O = 2 (65°) = 130°

Also, the measure of the angles where the tangent lines and the radii meet are equal to 90°. The sum of the measures of the angle of a quadrilateral ACOB is equal to 360°. 

     m∠O + m∠C + m∠B + m∠A = 360°

Substituting the known values,
     130° + 90° + 90° + m∠A = 360°

The value of m∠A is equal to 50°.

<em>Answer: 50°</em>

How to find the general solution to y"'+2y"-4y'-8y=0?
S_A_V [24]
y'''+2y''-4y'-8y=0

has characteristic equation

r^3+2r^2-4r-8=r^2(r+2)-4(r+2)=(r^2-4)(r+2)=(r-2)(r+2)^2=0

which has roots at r=\pm2. The negative root has multiplicity 2. So the general solution is

y=C_1e^{2x}+C_2e^{-2x}+C_3xe^{-2x}
