4. As part of a promotion for a new type of cracker, free samples are offered to shoppers in a local supermarket. The probabilit

y that a shopper will buy a packet of crackers after tasting the free sample is 0.3. Different shoppers can be regarded as independent trials. Let p be the proportion of the next 60 shoppers that buy a packet of the crackers after tasting a free sample. a) What are the mean and standard deviation of the distribution of the sample proportion

Answer:

For this case we need to check the conditions in order to use the normal approximation:

1) np = 60*0.3= 18>10

2) n(1-p) = 60*(1-0.3)= 42>10

Since both conditions are satisfied and the independence condition is assumed we can use the normal approximation given by:

\hat p \sim N (\hat p, \sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}})

The mean would be given by:

\mu_{\hat p}=0.3

And the deviation is given by:

\sigma_{\hat p}= \sqrt{\frac{0.3*(1-0.3)}{60}}= 0.0592

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we know the following info:

n =60 represent the sample size

\hat p = 0.3 represent the estimated proportion of people that will buy a packet of crackers after tasting

For this case we need to check the conditions in order to use the normal approximation:

1) np = 60*0.3= 18>10

2) n(1-p) = 60*(1-0.3)= 42>10

Since both conditions are satisfied and the independence condition is assumed we can use the normal approximation given by:

\hat p \sim N (\hat p, \sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}})

The mean would be given by:

\mu_{\hat p}=0.3

And the deviation is given by:

\sigma_{\hat p}= \sqrt{\frac{0.3*(1-0.3)}{60}}= 0.0592

B(1)= -12
Leto [7]

Given:

b(1)=-12

b(n)=b(n-1)\cdot 4

To find:

The third term of the sequence.

Solution:

We have,

b(n)=b(n-1)\cdot 4

For n=2, we get

b(2)=b(2-1)\cdot 4

b(2)=b(1)\cdot 4

b(2)=-12\cdot 4              [\because b(1)=-12]

b(2)=-48

For n=3, we get

b(3)=b(3-1)\cdot 4

b(3)=b(2)\cdot 4

b(3)=-48\cdot 4              [\because b(2)=-48]

b(3)=-192

Therefore, the 3rd term of the sequence is -192.

How do I calculate these division facts and what’s the answer 63 ÷ 7 56 ÷ 7
bixtya [17]

Answer:

63 divided by 7 is 9

56 divided by 7 is 8

Step-by-step explanation:

I don't really know how to explain it, because it's kind of complicated to do it how I answered it. I will try, but what you do is write out the equation using the little line division thing with the divisor and the dividend. First for 63 divided by 7, how many times can 7 go into 6? 0, so put a 0 on top of the 6. Then, minus 6 by 0, which is 6. Then, drop down the 3 in the ones place to where the difference of the subtraction problem is, which of 6. Then, we try to find a product that is 63 or close to 63 in a multiplication problem, and one of those factors has to be 7. 7 x 9 = 63, so put a 9 on top of the 3 at the beginning and minus 63 - 63, which is 0, meaning it has no remainder. Very hard to explain digitally, look up a video for help.

The post office will accept packages whose combined length and girth is at most 42 inches. (the girth is the perimeter/distance
Vilka [71]
If x represents the length of the box, then 42-x will be the girth. Since the largest area for a given girth is that of a square, the side length of the square cross section is (42 -x)/4.

The volume as a function of package length is then
.. v(x) = x((42-x)/4)^2
This has a maximum at x=14. The corresponding volume is 686 in^3.
