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

Solve for m. m + 4 3 = 2 what is m<br> HELP MEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!
Anna71 [15]

<u><em>hi there user! Looks like your looking for help, so Mizuki came here to help you!</em></u>

the answer is:

<em>m is 2/3</em>

The whole work I did:

m + 4 ÷ 3 = 2

m + 4/3 = 2

m + 4/3 - 4/3 = 2 - 4/3

m = 6/3 - 4/3

m = 2/3

Anyways hope this helped! qwq

A 12 1/2 mile stretch of road needs repaving . A company bids on the repaving project saying they could replace 2 1/4 miles of r
Nataly [62]

2 1/4 miles => 1 week

1 mile => 1 ÷ 9/4

( 9/4 is an improper fraction of 2 1/4 )

12 1/2 miles => ( 1 ÷ 9/4 ) × 25/2

= 50/9

= 5 5/9 weeks

( 25/2 is an improper fraction of 12 1/2 )

Therefore, it will take 5 5/9 weeks for the company to replace the stretch of road.

( you can round it off to 6 weeks if the qn specify to give to the nearest whole number )
