A firm gives discounts to its customers who pay their bills on time. A customer receives a ten percent discount on the next invo

ice when a bill is paid in full before its due date. Thirty percent of all customers use the discount. If the company sends out eight bills, what is the probability that less than three take the discount (round answers to three decimal places, for example, 0.xxx)

Answer:

0.551

Step-by-step explanation:

Let no. of people who take discount = x

Using binomial distribution, N c X. p^x. q^(n-x)

p : customer getting discount = 0.3, q : customer not getting discount = 0.7   n : no. of customers = 8

Probability that x < 3 : Prob (x=0) + Prob (x=1) + Prob (x=2)

= 8 c 0. (0.3)^0 . (0.7)^8 + 8 c 1. (0.3)^1 . (0.7)^7 + 8 c 2. (0.3)^2 . (0.7)^6

0.05764801 +  0.19765032 + 0.29647548

0.551

Explain how to perform a​ two-sample z-test for the difference between two population means using independent samples with known
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

The steps 1-7 have been explained

Step-by-step explanation:

The steps are;

1) We will verify that the population standard deviations are known and that the population is normally distributed which means the sample size must be a minimum of 30.

2) We will state the null and alternative hypothesis

3) We will determine the critical values from the relevant tables

4) From the critical values gotten, we will determine it's corresponding region where it can be rejected.

5)We will calculate the value of the test statistic from the formula;

z = [(x1' - x2') - (μ1 - μ2)]/√[((σ1)²/n1) + ((σ2)²/n2)]

6) If the value of the test statistic gotten from step 5 above falls in the region of rejection noted in step 4,then we will reject the null hypothesis

7) After rejection of the null hypothesis, we will now give a decision/conclusion on the claim.

Solve the system:<br> 5x-7y=-41<br> -3x-5y=-3
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

x = -4 , y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

5x - 7y = -41 ... (i)

-3x - 5y = -3 ... (ii)

Multiplying (i) by -3 and (ii) by 5 ;

-15x + 21y = 123 ... (i)

-15x - 25y = -15 ... (ii)

Subtracting (i) by (ii) ;

0 + 46y = 138

46y = 138

y = 138 ÷ 46 = 3

Returning to equation (ii) ;

-3x - 5(3) = -3

-3x = -3 + 15

-3x = 12

x = -4
