A marketing consultant observed 40 consecutive shoppers to estimate the average money spent by shoppers in a supermarket store.

Assume that the money spent by the population of shoppers follow a Normal distribution with a standard deviation of $21.51. What is the probability that the average money spent by a sample of 40 shoppers is within $10 of the actual population mean.

Answer:

0.998 is the probability that the average money spent by  a sample of 40 shoppers is within $10 of the actual population mean.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Standard Deviation, σ = $21.51

We are given that the distribution of average money spend is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

We have to find:

P( average money spent is within $10 of the actual population mean.)

= P( z \leq \displaystyle\frac{10\times \sqrt{40}}{21.51}}) = P(z \leq 2.94)

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,  

P(z \leq 2.94) = 0.998

1) Find the domain of the given function. f(x) = square root of quantity x plus three divided by quantity x plus eight times quantity x minus two.
 using a graphical tool    see the attachment  
the answer is C) x ≥ -3, x ≠ 2  
 2. Identify intervals on which the function is increasing, decreasing, or constant.
g(x) = 2 - (x - 7)2
 using a graphical tool     
see the attachment
 the answer is  C) Increasing: x < 7; decreasing: x > 7
3. Perform the requested operation or operations.
f(x) = 4x + 7, g(x) = 3x2
Find (f + g)(x).
 (f + g)(x) = f(x) + g(x) 
(f + g)(x) = 4x + 7 + 3x^2 
(f + g)(x) = 3x^2 + 4x + 7
 The answer is  C) 4x + 7 + 3x2
 4. Perform the requested operation or operations.
f(x) = x minus five divided by eight. ; g(x) = 8x + 5, find g(f(x)).
 f(x)=(x-5)/8    g(x)=8x+5
g(f(x))=8((x-5)/8)+5=x-5+5=x
the answer is  B) g(f(x)) = x   
5. Find f(x) and g(x) so that the function can be described as y = f(g(x)).y = nine divided by square root of quantity five x plus five. 
 y=f(g(x))=9/((5x+5) ^1/2)
let do
g(x)=5x+5...........so
f(x)= 9/( x^1/2)
the answer is  A) f(x) = nine divided by square root of x. , g(x) = 5x + 5

6. A satellite camera takes a rectangular-shaped picture. The smallest region that can be photographed is a 4-km by 4-km rectangle. As the camera zooms out, the length l and width w of the rectangle increase at a rate of 3 km/sec. How long does it take for the area A to be at least 4 times its original size?
Original size- >4km*4km=16 km2
4 times its original size---------------4*(16km2)-----64 Km2----------- > 8 km by 8 Km
Therefore
3km----------------------------- 1 sec
(8km-4km)---------------------x
X=4/3=1.33 sec
The answer is D) 1.33 sec

7. Find the inverse of the function.
f(x) = the cube root of quantity x divided by seven. - 9
to solve, replace f(x) with y , switch x and y, solve for y and replace y with f⁻¹(x)

f(x)=((x/7)-9) ^(1/3)
replace f(x) with y
y=((x/7)-9) ^(1/3)
switch x and y
x=((y/7)-9) ^(1/3)
solve for y
x^3=((y/7)-9)
x^3+9=y/7
y=7(x^3+9)
the answer is C) f-1(x) = 7(x3 + 9)  

8. Describe how the graph of y= x2 can be transformed to the graph of the given equation.y = (x - 14)2 – 9

9. Describe how to transform the graph of f into the graph of g. f(x) = alt='square root of quantity x minus nine.' and g(x) = alt='square root of quantity x plus five. '

f(x)=(x-9) ^1/2  g(x)=(x+5) ^1/2 
using a graphical tool     see the attachment

the answer is C) Shift the graph of f left 14 units

PLEASE HURRY 100 POINTS!
Kamila [148]

Answer:

B) Line 2

using the formula:

\sf c^2 = a^2 + b^2 -2abcos(C)

\sf c^2 = 14^2 + 8^2 -2(14)(8)cos(80)

\sf c^2 = 196 + 64 -244 *0.173

\sf c^2 = 221.1

\sf \sqrt{c} = \sqrt{221.1}

\sf c = 14.87
