A manager of a grocery store wants to determine if consumers are spending more than the national average of $150 with a standard

deviation of $30. The manager collects 10 random receipts and finds that the average customer spends $160. He then concludes that his customers do spend more than the national average. a) What do you see as his error in this assumption? b) How could you redesign the study to correct it?

Answer:

A.) The manager calculated mean and not standard deviation

B.) Standard deviation should be calculated with the use of formula.

Step-by-step explanation:

A.) The assumption that his customers do spend more than the national average is wrong because the standard deviation is not calculated and mean cannot be used as a substitute for standard deviation.

B.) Standard deviation tells us how value obtain from group measurement deviates from the average value or expected value of each item of observations.

When standard deviation is low, this show that the value is very close to the expected value or the average value.

If the national average value = $150 and average customer spends $160. 

Deviation = 160 - 150 = 10

This is lower than $30

Or better still, the manager should make use of standard deviation formula. Which is the square root of variance.

Find the value of X<br><br>A: 2<br>B: 4<br>C: 6<br>D: 8​
11111nata11111 [884]

Using the Pythagorean theorem:

x^2 + (x-2)^2 = (√20)^2

Simplify the right side:

x^2 + (x-2)^2 = 20

Subtract 20 from both sides:

x^2 + (x-2)^2 - 20 = 0

Factor:

(x-4)(x+2) = 0

Solve for each x:

x = 4 and x = -2

The side cant be a negative value, so the answer would be x = 4

The answer is B.

Find the series in A.P whose sum to n terms is n*(n+2)​
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

3, 5, 7, 9, 11, .........

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

S_{n} = n(n + 2) , then

S₁ = 1(1 + 2) = 1(3) = 3 ⇒ a₁ = 3

S₂ = 2(2 + 2) = 2(4) = 8

S₃ = 3(3 + 2) = 3(5) = 15

Thus

a₂ = S₂ - S₁ = 8 - 3 = 5

a₃ = S₃ - S₂ = 15 - 8 = 7

The first 3 terms are 3, 5, 7

This is an AP with common difference d = 2, then

a₄ = a₃ + 2 = 7 + 2 = 9

a₅ = a₄ + 2 = 9 + 2 = 11

and so on
