According to Advertising Age, the average base salary for women working as copywriters in advertising firms is higher than the a

verage base salary for men. The average base salary for women is $67,000 and the average base salary for men is $65,500 (Working Woman, July/August 2000). Assume salaries are normally distributed and that the standard deviation is $7000 for both men and women.
Required:
a. What is the probability of a woman receiving a salary in excess of $75,000 (to 4 decimals)?
b. What is the probability of a man receiving a salary in excess of $75,000 (to 4 decimals)?
c. What is the probability of a woman receiving a salary below $50,000 (to 4 decimals)?
d. How much would a woman have to make to have a higher salary than 99% of her male counterparts (0 decimals)?

Answer:

(a) The probability of a woman receiving a salary in excess of $75,000 is 0.1271.

(b) The probability of a man receiving a salary in excess of $75,000 is 0.0870.

(c) The probability of a woman receiving a salary below $50,000 is 0.9925.

(d) A woman would have to make a higher salary of $81,810 than 99% of her male counterparts.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the random variable <em>X</em> represent the salary for women and <em>Y</em> represent the salary for men.

It is provided that:

X\sim N(67000, 7000^{2})\\\\Y\sim N(65500, 7000^{2})

(a)

Compute the probability of a woman receiving a salary in excess of $75,000 as follows:

P(X>75000)=P(\frac{X-\mu_{x}}{\sigma_{x}}>\frac{75000-67000}{7000})

                     =P(Z>1.14)\\\\=1-P(Z

Thus, the probability of a woman receiving a salary in excess of $75,000 is 0.1271.

(b)

Compute the probability of a man receiving a salary in excess of $75,000 as follows:

P(Y>75000)=P(\frac{Y-\mu_{y}}{\sigma_{y}}>\frac{75000-65500}{7000})

                     =P(Z>1.36)\\\\=1-P(Z

Thus, the probability of a man receiving a salary in excess of $75,000 is 0.0870.

(c)

Compute the probability of a woman receiving a salary below $50,000 as follows:

P(X

                     =P(Z>-2.43)\\\\=P(Z

Thus, the probability of a woman receiving a salary below $50,000 is 0.9925.

(d)

Let <em>a</em> represent the salary a woman have to make to have a higher salary than 99% of her male counterparts.

Then,

   P(Y\leq a)=0.99

\Rightarrow P(Z

The <em>z</em>-score for this probability is:

<em>z</em>-score = 2.33

Compute the value of <em>a</em> as follows:

\frac{a-\mu_{y}}{\sigma_{y}}=2.33\\\\

    a=\mu_{y}+(2.33\times \sigma_{y})\\\\

       =65500+(2.33\times7000)\\\\=65500+16310\\\\=81810

Thus, a woman would have to make a higher salary of $81,810 than 99% of her male counterparts.

Please help dood pls
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

\Large \boxed{\mathrm{\bold{B.} } \ x=7, \ y = 4\sqrt{2} }

Step-by-step explanation:

We can split the shape into a right triangle and a rectangle.

tan θ = opp/adj

Let c be the missing base for the right triangle.

tan45 = 4/c

c = 4/tan45

c = 4

x = 3 + 4

x = 7

sin θ = opp/hyp

sin45 = 4/y

y = 4/sin45

y = 4\sqrt{2}

Dori spent 1/5 of her money on a toy boat and scuba goggles. The toy boat cost 2 times as much as the goggles. The toy boat cost
Korolek [52]

Answer:

Dori has $48 left.

Step-by-step explanation:

The boat costs twice as much as the goggles, divide 8 by 2 to find the price of the goggles. The price of the goggles is $4.

Add $8 and $4 to get $12. This is the total money Dori spent.

Since this is 1/5 of her money, multiply $12 by 5 to get $60. This is the money Dori had.

Subtract the $12 from the $60 to get $48. This is the money Dori has left.

From a large number of actuarial exam scores, a random sample of scores is selected, and it is found that of these are passing s
Mnenie [13.5K]

<u>Supposing 60 out of 100 scores are passing scores</u>, the 95% confidence interval for the proportion of all scores that are passing is (0.5, 0.7).

  • The lower limit is 0.5.
  • The upper limit is 0.7.

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of \pi, and a confidence level of \alpha, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

In which

z is the z-score that has a p-value of \frac{1+\alpha}{2}.

60 out of 100 scores are passing scores, hence n = 100, \pi = \frac{60}{100} = 0.6

95% confidence level

So \alpha = 0.95, z is the value of Z that has a p-value of \frac{1+0.95}{2} = 0.975, so z = 1.96.

The lower limit of this interval is:

\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.6 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.6(0.4)}{100}} = 0.5

The upper limit of this interval is:

\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.6 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.6(0.4)}{100}} = 0.7

The 95% confidence interval for the proportion of all scores that are passing is (0.5, 0.7).

  • The lower limit is 0.5.
  • The upper limit is 0.7.
