A major cab company in Chicago has computed its mean fare from O'Hare Airport to the Drake Hotel to be $28.75 , with a standard

deviation of $4.44. Based on this information, complete the following statements about the distribution of the company's fares from O'Hare Airport to the Drake Hotel.
a. According to Chebyshev's theorem, at least ____% ( 56% or 75% or 84% or 89%) of the fares lie between 20.17 dollars and 37.13 dollars.
b. According to Chebyshev's theorem, at least 84% of the fares lie between ____ dollars and_____ dollars . (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
c. Suppose that the distribution is bell-shaped. According to the empirical rule, approximately 99.7% of the fares lie between ___ dollars and ___ dollars .
d. Suppose that the distribution is bell-shaped. According to the empirical rule, approximately____ (68% or 75% or 95% or 99.7%) of the fares lie between 20.17 dollars and 37.13 dollars.

Answer:

Following are the solution to the given choices:

Step-by-step explanation:

Using chebyshev's theorem :

\to P(|(x-\mu)|\leq k \sigma)\geq 1- \frac{1}{k^2}\\\\here \\ \to \mu=28.75\\\\ \to \sigma=4.44

In point a)  

\to |(x-\mu)|= |20.17-28.75|=8.58 and \sigma=4.44 \\\\so, \\k= \frac{ |(x-\mu)| }{\sigma}

  = \frac{8.58}{4.44} \\\\ =1.9 \\\\ =2

value= (1- \frac{1}{k^2}) \times 100 \% =75\%

In point b)

\to (1- \frac{1}{k^2}) \times 100 \% =84\% \\\\\to (1- \frac{1}{k^2})=0.84 \\\\\to \frac{1}{k^2} =0.16 \\\\\to \frac{1}{k}=0.4\\\\ \to k=2.5 \\\\\to |(x-\mu)| \leq k \sigma  \\\\= |(x-\mu)|\leq 2.5 \times 4.44  \\\\  = |(x-\mu)|\leq 1.11 \\\\ =  (28.75\pm 11.1) \\\\\to \text{fares lies between}(17.65,39.85)

In point c)

\to 99.7 \% \\ lie \ between=28.75 \pm z(.03)\times \sigma \\\\ =28.75\pm 2.97 \times 4.44\\\\=(28.75\pm 13.1)\\\\=(15.65,41.85)\\

In point d)

using standard normal variate

x=20.17\\\\  z=-2 \\\\x=37.13\\\\ z=2\\\\\to P(20.17

An employee is paid a salary of \$73,840 per year, plus benefits and overtime (time and a half) on hours worked over 40 per week
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

B. $35.50/hr and \$6,079.38 in total income

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Total regular pay earning for the year = $73,840

Let basic salary = b

Overtime = 1.5b

Regular earning per week :

Regular year earning / number of weeks per year

$73840 / 52 = $1420

Regular hours = 40

Regular earning per week = $1420

Regular earning per hour = $1420 / 40

Regular earning per hour = $35.50

Number of overtime hours :

4 hours + 3.5hours = 7.5hours

Overtime pay per hour = 1.5 * regular earning

Overtime pay per hour = 1.5 * 35.5 = $53.25

Total overtime pay = Overtime pay per hour * Number of overtime hours

Total overtime pay = $53.25 * 7.5

Total overtime pay = 399.375

Total pay for the month :

160 regular hours + 7.5 overtime hours

(160 * 35.5) + $399.375

$5,680 + 399.375 = $6,079.375

= $6,079.38

The table below shows all of the possible outcomes for rolling two six sided number cubes what is the probability of rolling an
Vanyuwa [196]

<u>Answer:</u>

The probability of rolling an even number first and an odd number second is \frac{1}{4}

<u>Solution: </u>

As two cubes are 6 sided,  the total number of possibilities are (6\times6) = 36

Now in those possibilities the first number will be even and the second number will be odd.  If we check the table, such pairs are,  

(2,1), (2,3), (2,5), (4,1), (4,3), (4,5), (6,1), (6,3), (6,5)

So, we can see we have total 9 set with the combination of first number even and second number odd.  So, the probability of rolling with this combination will be \bold\frac{9}{36}=\frac{1}{4}\bold
