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

Edmund purchased a computer for $1,800 on a payment plan (month zero). Three months after he purchased the computer, his balance
trapecia [35]

Answer:

Well I can't make a table but I can explain the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

So you have $1,800 on a payment plan.  In three months, the balance is 1,350.  So 1,800-1,350=450.  This means he paid $450 in three months.  450/3 is 150.  He pays $150 a month.  Then 2 months later, (5 months after purchase) he has balance is $1,050.  1,350-1,050=300.  300/2=150.  Further evidence of the fact that he pays 150 dollars a month.  This means that the 6th month, he will have $900 dollars left on the payment.  7th month... $850, 8th month... $600, 9th month... $450, 10th month... 300 dollars, 11th month... 150, and 12 month he will have paid off all of his computer.  Hope it helps, sorry it is so long.  Have a great day!  :D

A train traveling 50 mph left a station 30 minutes before a second train running at 55 mph. how soon did the second train overta
Finger [1]
<span>1st train DATA:
rate = 50 mph ; time = x hrs ; distance = rt = 50x miles

2nd train DATA:
rate = 55 mph ; time = (x-(1/2)) hrs ; distance = rt = 55(x-(1/2)) miles


Equation:
distance = distance 
50x = 55(x-(1/2)
50x = 55x - (55/2)
-5x = -55/2
x = 11/2
x = 5 1/2 hrs (time at which the 2nd train overtakes the 1st train)
Hope this helps!
