Your co-worker, Amanda, and you are reliving your high school athletic "glory days" during a coffee break. She played basketball

and you played baseball. Amanda scored 16 points per game and you had a .325 batting average. You are trying to see who had the better athletic career (statistically speaking), but you can’t compare basketball stats to baseball stats. Use z-scores to convert her points per game average and your batting average. What are the scores and who had the better athletic career? Assume that the mean points per game for basketball players during Amanda’s career was 15 points per game with a standard deviation of 4. Also, the batting average for baseball players during your high school career was 310 (i.e., .310) with a standard deviation of 25.

Answer:

Our score = 0.60, Amanda's score = 0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

For Amanda

μ = 15 , σ = 4

z- score for X = 16 is (From z table)

z = (X - μ)/σ = (16 - 15)/4 = 0.25

For us

μ = 310 , σ = 25

z score for X = 325 (From z table)

z = (325-310)/25 = 0.60

Since our z score is better than Amanda's z score, we can say we did better

Zinaida [17]

Answer:

P = 150 - 25w

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount borrowed = $150

Repayment amount = $25 each week

P = amount Nancy owes

w = number of weeks

Amount Nancy owes = amount borrowed - repayment plan per week

P = 150 - 25w

During the first week of repayment: when w = 1

P = 150 - 25w

P = 150 - 25(1)

= 150 - 25

= 125

P = $125

Ivenika [448]

The combined revenue for the movies in scientific notation is  \$ 3.568 \times 10^8.

The given parameters;

  • <em>first revenue made from the movie, = $352,000,000</em>
  • <em>second revenue made from the movie, = $4,800,000</em>

The combined revenue from the movie is calculated by adding the two revenues together as shown below;

Total revenue = $352,000,000  +  $4,800,000

Total revenue = $356800000 =  \$ 3.568 \times 10^8

Thus, the combined revenue for the movies in scientific notation is  \$ 3.568 \times 10^8

Is this the correct answer?
Westkost [7]

To be honest, these answer choices are a bit baffling. The best answer in my opinion would be to do at least two of the three options given below.

  1. Place a price floor above the equilibrium.
  2. Decrease imports from other countries.
  3. Reduce current supply (reduce herd sizes).

Doing that should increase the prices.

Placing a floor above equilibrium will force the equilibrium to move upward, and with the reduce in supply from other countries, demand will shift toward the domestic producers. Without the demand shift, there simply would be an oversupply or surplus of dairy. Either the surplus is thrown away or its simply housed somewhere else (often at taxpayer expense).

---------------

If you place a ceiling below equilibrium, then the price will go down to that ceiling value. That will be the highest price possible. This is the opposite of what the farmers want. It gets even worse when you increase milk imports (since supply goes up leading to further reduced prices). So that rules out choice A.

If you place a ceiling above equilibrium, then nothing happens. The price stays at equilibrium. Nothing too exciting here. This rules out choice B (though I agree with the "decrease imports" portion).

If you set a floor below equilibrium, then nothing happens similar to the last paragraph above. The price stays where it is. We can rule out choice C. Reducing herd sizes will reduce supply so that could maybe increase prices.

I'm not really familiar with the term "arbitrage" so I probably won't be any help here. That seems like an answer choice that is a distraction, but I'm not sure.
