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

Answer:

(- 4, 27 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Equate the right sides of both equations, that is

x² - 2x + 3 = - 2x + 19 ← subtract - 2x + 19 from both sides

x² - 16 = 0 ← in standard form

(x - 4)(x + 4) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 4 = 0 ⇒ x = 4

x + 4 = 0 ⇒ x = - 4

Substitute these values into f(x) = - 2x + 19

f(4) = - 2(4) + 19 = - 8 + 19 = 11 ⇒ (4, 11 )

f(- 4) = - 2(- 4) + 19 = 8 + 19 = 27 ⇒ (- 4, 27 )

In Bayes Theorem, you have some starting information, then you collect some new information so that you can _______ the original
sp2606 [1]

In Bayes Theorem, apart from the already starting information, some new information so that you can update or transform the original probabilities so you now have better information.

What is Bayes Theorem?

The Bayes' theorem was named after Thomas Bayes and it is used in probability theory and statistics as one of the fundamental theorems. It estimates the likelihood of an event based on knowledge of circumstances that might be connected to it in the past.

The Formula for Bayes' Theorem

The Bayes' theorem is given as,

P(A|B) = P(A).P(B|A) / P(B)

Here, for two events A and B,

P(A|B) is the probability for likelihood of A when B is true

P(B|A) is probability for likelihood of B when A is true

P(A) is the independent probability of event A

P(B) is the independent probability of event B
