The head of maintenance at XYZ Rent-A-Car believes that the mean number of miles between services is 2643 miles, with a standard

deviation of 368 miles. If he is correct, what is the probability that the mean of a sample of 44 cars would differ from the population mean by less than 51 miles

Answer:

P(2643-51< \bar X < 2643+51)= P(2592< \bar X

And we can use the z scoe formula given by:

z = \frac{\bar X -\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

And if we find the z score for the limits we got:

z = \frac{2592-2643}{\frac{368}{\sqrt{44}}}= -0.919

z = \frac{2694-2643}{\frac{368}{\sqrt{44}}}= 0.919

And this probability is equivalent to:

P(-0.919

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we can define the random variable X as "number of miles between services" and we know the following info given:

\mu = 2643 , \sigma = 368

The central limit theorem states that "if we have a population with mean μ and standard deviation σ and take sufficiently large random samples from the population with replacement, then the distribution of the sample means will be approximately normally distributed. This will hold true regardless of whether the source population is normal or skewed, provided the sample size is sufficiently large".

From the central limit theorem we know that the distribution for the sample mean \bar X is given by:

\bar X \sim N(\mu, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})

We select a random sample size of n =44. And we want to find this probability:

P(2643-51< \bar X < 2643+51)= P(2592< \bar X

And we can use the z scoe formula given by:

z = \frac{\bar X -\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

And if we find the z score for the limits we got:

z = \frac{2592-2643}{\frac{368}{\sqrt{44}}}= -0.919

z = \frac{2694-2643}{\frac{368}{\sqrt{44}}}= 0.919

And this probability is equivalent to:

P(-0.919

The yield of orange trees is reduced if they are planted too close together. If there are 30 trees per acre, each tree produces
Tanya [424]

Answer:

5 more than 30 trees should be  planted, for a total of 40 trees per acre.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of trees beyond 30 that are planted on the acre

The number of oranges produced = Oranges(x) = (number of trees) (yield per tree)

We are given that For each additional tree in the acre, the yield is reduced by 7 oranges per tree

So, number of oranges produced =(30 + x)(400 -10x)

                                                        = 12000 -300x+400x-10x^2

                                                        = 12000 + 100x-10x^2

The derivative Oranges'(x) = 100-20x

Substitute first derivative equals to 0

100-20x =0

x=5

Using the second derivative test,

Oranges"(x) = -20

20 is negative,

So, this is the case of maximum.

Thus, 5 more than 30 trees should be  planted, for a total of 40 trees per acre.
