The higher the bowling score the better. The lower the golf score the better. Assume both are normally distributed. a. Suppose w

e have a sample of the Santa Ana Strikers' bowling scores. Q1 = 125 and Q3 = 156. Would it be usual or unusual to have a score of 200?b. Suppose the mean bowling score is 155 with a standard deviation of 16 points. What is the probability that in a sample of 40 bowling scores, the mean will be smaller than 150?c. Suppose the mean golf score is 77 with a standard deviation of 3 strokes We will give a trophy for the best 5% of scores. What score must you get to receive a trophy? d. Suppose the mean golf score is 77 with a standard deviation of 3 strokes. Would a golf score of 70 be ordinary, a mild outlier, or an extreme outlier?

Answer:

Explained below.

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

The first and third quartiles of bowling scores are as follows:

Q₁ = 125 and Q₃ = 156

Then the inter quartile range will be:

IQR = Q₁ - Q₃

      = 156 - 125

      = 31

Any value lying outside the range (Q₁ - 1.5×IQR, Q₃ + 1.5×IQR) are considered as unusual.

The range is:

(Q₁ - 1.5×IQR, Q₃ + 1.5×IQR) = (125 - 1.5×31, 156 + 1.5×31)

                                               = (78.5, 202.5)

The bowling score of 200 lies in this range.

Thus, the bowling score of 200 is usual.

(b)

Compute the probability that the mean bowling score will be smaller than 150 as follows:

P(\bar X

                  =P(Z

Thus, the probability that in a sample of 40 bowling scores, the mean will be smaller than 150 is 0.024.

(c)

It is provided that, the lower the golf score the better.  

So, the best 5% of scores would be the bottom 5%.

That is, P (X > x) = 0.05.

⇒ P (Z > z) = 0.05

⇒ P (Z < z) = 0.95

⇒ <em>z</em> = 1.645

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

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\\\\1.645=\frac{x-77}{3}\\\\x=77+(3\times 1.645)\\\\x=81.935\\\\x\approx 82

Thus, the score is 82.

(d)

A <em>z</em>-scores outside the range (-2, +2) are considered as mild outlier and the <em>z</em>-scores outside the range (-3, +3) are considered as extreme outlier.

Compute the <em>z</em>-score for the golf score of 70 as follows:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

  =\farc{70-77}{3}\\\\=\frac{-7}{3}\\\\=-2.33

As the <em>z</em>-score for the golf score of 70 is less than -2, it is considered as a mild outlier.

Compound Interest Analysis With Applications

This site is a part of the JavaScript E-labs learning objects for decision making. Other JavaScript in this series are categorized under different areas of applications in the MENU section on this page.

Professor Hossein Arsham    

Compound Interest: The future value (FV) of an investment of present value (PV) dollars earning interest at an annual rate of r compounded m times per year for a period of t years is:

FV = PV(1 + r/m)mt

or

FV = PV(1 + i)n

where i = r/m is the interest per compounding period and n = mt is the number of compounding periods.

One may solve for the present value PV to obtain:

PV = FV/(1 + r/m)mt

Numerical Example: For 4-year investment of $20,000 earning 8.5% per year, with interest re-invested each month, the future value is

FV = PV(1 + r/m)mt   = 20,000(1 + 0.085/12)(12)(4)   = $28,065.30

Notice that the interest earned is $28,065.30 - $20,000 = $8,065.30 -- considerably more than the corresponding simple interest.

Effective Interest Rate: If money is invested at an annual rate r, compounded m times per year, the effective interest rate is:

reff = (1 + r/m)m - 1.

This is the interest rate that would give the same yield if compounded only once per year. In this context r is also called the nominal rate, and is often denoted as rnom.

Numerical Example: A CD paying 9.8% compounded monthly has a nominal rate of rnom = 0.098, and an effective rate of:

r eff =(1 + rnom /m)m   =   (1 + 0.098/12)12 - 1   =  0.1025.

Thus, we get an effective interest rate of 10.25%, since the compounding makes the CD paying 9.8% compounded monthly really pay 10.25% interest over the course of the year.

Mortgage Payments Components: Let where P = principal, r = interest rate per period, n = number of periods, k = number of payments, R = monthly payment, and D = debt balance after K payments, then

R = P × r / [1 - (1 + r)-n]

and

D = P × (1 + r)k - R × [(1 + r)k - 1)/r]

Jeremiah received $65 for his birthday and used part of it to buy 3 video games. The games cost the same amount, and he had $14
hram777 [196]

Jeremiah got $65 on birthday and spent some money on 3 video games and was left with $14.

He purchased 3 video games.

Let the cost one one video game be v.

The cost of each video game is same

So the cost of 3 video games is 3v.

Also he is left with $14 after paying for three games.

Hence

3v + 14 = 65

Subtracting 14 from both sides

3v + 14 -14 = 65-14

3v = 51

Dividing by 3 on both sides

v = 51/3

v = 17

Hence the cost of each video game is $17
