The average spending at Neco's salad bar is $9.03 with a standard deviation of $3.26. The distribution follows t-distribution. T

he management is interested in the middle 90% of the customers (spending wise) as it believes that they represent their true customer base. What will be the difference between the upper and lower spending cut-offs which define the middle 90% of the customers if the sample contains 41 customers

Answer:

The difference between these cut-offs is of $1.9.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we have to find the 90% confidence interval, using the t-distribution.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 41 - 1 = 40

90% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 40 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of 1 - \frac{1 - 0.9}{2} = 0.95. So we have T = 1.684

The margin of error is:

M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 1.684\frac{3.26}{\sqrt{41}} = 0.95

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 9.03 - 0.95 = $8.08.

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 9.03 + 0.95 = $9.98.

What will be the difference between the upper and lower spending cut-offs which define the middle 90% of the customers if the sample contains 41 customers

$9.98 - $8.08 = $1.9

The difference between these cut-offs is of $1.9.

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

x+y\geqslant 12

x+2y\leqslant 20

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Inequalities </u>

The home security company will choose between two options for cubicles: the small cubicle for only one operator and the large cubicle to hold 2 operators. Let x be the number of small cubicles and y the number of large cubicles. Since each small cubicle has 49 square feet, the total area occupied by them will be 49x. Each large cubicle occupies 80 square feet, so the y cubicles use 80y square feet. The total area used by them is

Area=49x+80y

Assuming there is no operator without cubicle and all cubicles are fully occupied, the number of operators will be

Operators=1x+2y=x+2y

The number of cubicles is

# cubicles=x+y

The conditions of the problem state that

x+y\geqslant 12

x+2y\leqslant 20
