Which are undefined terms that can be used to define other terms?

The cost of ordering multiple items is sometimes, always or never proportional

AlladinOne [14]

Unless there is no promotion like "buy 2 get 1 free" or "buy 2 get 1 for 50%" etc. then the cost of ordering multiple items is always proportional. Let's say something costs $5. Two items will cost $10, three $15, four $20 etc. These numbers are all proportional. Hopefully that's what you meant :)

A grocery store’s receipts show that Sunday customer purchases have a skewed distribution with a mean of 27$ and a standard devi

34kurt

Answer:

(a) The probability that the store’s revenues were at least $9,000 is 0.0233.

(b) The revenue of the store on the worst 1% of such days is $7,631.57.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Central Limit Theorem if we have a population with mean μ and standard deviation σ and we take appropriately huge random samples (n ≥ 30) from the population with replacement, then the distribution of the sum of values of X, i.e ∑X, will be approximately normally distributed.

Then, the mean of the distribution of the sum of values of X is given by,

$\mu_{X}=n\mu$

And the standard deviation of the distribution of the sum of values of X is given by,

$\sigma_{X}=\sqrt{n}\sigma$

It is provided that:

$\mu=\$27\\\sigma=\$18\\n=310$

As the sample size is quite large, i.e. n = 310 > 30, the central limit theorem can be applied to approximate the sampling distribution of the store’s revenues for Sundays by a normal distribution.

(a)

Compute the probability that the store’s revenues were at least $9,000 as follows:

$P(S\geq 9000)=P(\frac{S-\mu_{X}}{\sigma_{X}}\geq \frac{9000-(27\times310)}{\sqrt{310}\times 18})\\\\=P(Z\geq 1.99)\\\\=1-P(Z$

Thus, the probability that the store’s revenues were at least $9,000 is 0.0233.

(b)

Let s denote the revenue of the store on the worst 1% of such days.

Then, P (S < s) = 0.01.

The corresponding z-value is, -2.33.

Compute the value of s as follows:

$z=\frac{s-\mu_{X}}{\sigma_{X}}\\\\-2.33=\frac{s-8370}{316.923}\\\\s=8370-(2.33\times 316.923)\\\\s=7631.56941\\\\s\approx \$7,631.57$

Thus, the revenue of the store on the worst 1% of such days is $7,631.57.

What is the value of z in the equation 2(4z – 9 – 11) = 166 – 46?

Roman55 [17]

2(4z-9-11)=166-46
8z-18-22=120
8z-40=120
Add 40 from both side
8z-40+40=120+40
8z=160
Divided 8 from both side
8z/8=160/8
z=20. Hope it help!

Angela decides to recycle a large oatmeal container by using it to hold a friends birthday gift. Then she wraps the container in

Deffense [45]

Answer:

D. 135.37 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that the gift paper consists of two circles and a square.

Thus, we will need to find the area of the circles and the square.

Now, as the diameter of the circle = 4 inches

So, the radius of the circle = $\frac{4}{2}$ = 2 inches

Since, the area of a circle = $\pi r^{2}$

This implies that area of the two circles = $2\times \pi r^{2}$

i.e. Area of the circles = $2\times \pi 2^{2}$

i.e. Area of the circles = $8\pi$

i.e. Area of the two circles = 25.133 in²

Further, one side of the square = 10.5 inches

Thus, the area of the square = $side^{2}$

i.e. Area of the square = $10.5^{2}$

i.e. Area of the square = 110.25 in²

So, the overall area of the gift paper = 25.133 + 110.25 = 135.37 in².

Hence, the amount of paper used by Angela is 135.37 in².

Two pumps connected in parallel fail independently of one another on any given day. The probability that only the older pump wil

Bogdan [553]

Answer : Probability that the pumping system will fail on any given day = 0.005

Explanation:

Probability that only older pump fail = P(A) = 0.10

Probability that only newer pump fail = P(B) = 0.05

Since they are independent events ,

then the conditions will be

P(A∩B) = P(A). P(B)

= 0.10 ×0.05

= 0.005

Hence, the probability will fail on any given day = 0.005
