The daily revenues of a cafe near the university are approximately normally distributed. The owner recently collected a random s

Answer:

The sample size to obtain the desired margin of error is 160.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Margin of Error is given as

$MOE=z_{crit}\times\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

Rearranging this equation in terms of n gives

$n=\left[z_{crit}\times \dfrac{\sigma}{M}\right]^2$

Now the Margin of Error is reduced by 2 so the new M_2 is given as M/2 so the value of n_2 is calculated as

$n_2=\left[z_{crit}\times \dfrac{\sigma}{M_2}\right]^2\\n_2=\left[z_{crit}\times \dfrac{\sigma}{M/2}\right]^2\\n_2=\left[z_{crit}\times \dfrac{2\sigma}{M}\right]^2\\n_2=2^2\left[z_{crit}\times \dfrac{\sigma}{M}\right]^2\\n_2=4\left[z_{crit}\times \dfrac{\sigma}{M}\right]^2\\n_2=4n$

As n is given as 40 so the new sample size is given as

$n_2=4n\\n_2=4*40\\n_2=160$

So the sample size to obtain the desired margin of error is 160.

A man notices that a tank is half full. After emptying 600 litres from the tank, that it is now one-third full. How much does th

enot [183]

One half is equal to 3/6.
One third is equal to 2/6.

After removing 600 litres from the tank, there is a decrease from 3/6 to 2/6

3/6-2/6=1/6

600 litres is 1/6 of the tank. Multiply by 6 to get the capacity of a full tank.

600*6=3600

The tank can hold 3600 litres.

What proportion of students are willing to report cheating by other students? A project put this question to an SRS of 180 under

krok68 [10]

Answer:

13.89% of students are willing to report cheating by other students.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Sample size, n = 180

Number of students who reported cheating, x = 25

We have to find the proportion of the students are willing to report cheating by other students.

Proportion of students can be calculate as

$p = \dfrac{x}{n} = \dfrac{25}{180} = 0.1389\\\\\p = 0.1389\times 100\5\\p = 13.89\%$

Thus, 13.89% of students are willing to report cheating by other students.

Zhao Xue wants to buy milk and yogurt. She wants to buy a total of at least 6.5 gallons of dairy products (condition A), and she

Marta_Voda [28]

Answer: The answer is (D). Zhao Xue doesn’t have enough money left to buy any yofurt

Step-by-step explanation: Given that Zhao Xue is buying buy milk and yogurt, a total of at least 6.5 gallons of dairy products and she has a budget of $20. The given graph represents the constraints on the number of gallons of milk 'M' and yogurt 'Y' Zhao Xue buys. Zhao Xue buys 4 gallons of milk. We need to calculate the number of gallons of yogurt she can buy to meet both her constraints.

From the graph, we can write

Condition A :

$M+Y\geq 6.5.$

Condition B :

$8M+5Y\leq40.$

Now, if she buys 4 gallons of milk, the the conditions become

$4+Y\geq 6.5~~\Rightarrow Y\geq 2.5,\\\\8\times 4+5Y\leq 40~~\Rightarrow Y\leq 1.6.$

Here, there will be no solution to these constraints.

Therefore, she does not have enough money left to buy any yogurt.

Thus, the correct option is (D).
