Answer:

0.0903

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

The mean = 1450

The standard deviation = 220

sample mean = 1560

P(X > 1560) = P( Z > \dfrac{x - \mu}{\sigma})

P(X > 1560) = P(Z > \dfrac{1560 - 1450}{220})

P(X > 1560) = P(Z > \dfrac{110}{220})

P(X> 1560) = P(Z > 0.5)

P(X> 1560) = 1 - P(Z < 0.5)

From the z tables;

P(X> 1560) = 1 - 0.6915

P(X> 1560) = 0.3085

Let consider the given number of weeks = 52

Mean \mu_x = np = 52 × 0.3085 = 16.042

The standard deviation =  \sqrt {n \time p (1-p)}

The standard deviation = \sqrt {52 \times 0.3085 (1-0.3085)}

The standard deviation = 3.3306

Let Y be a random variable that proceeds in a binomial distribution, which denotes the number of weeks in a year that exceeds $1560.

Then;

Pr ( Y > 20) = P( z > 20)

Pr ( Y > 20) = P(Z > \dfrac{20.5 - 16.042}{3.3306})

Pr ( Y > 20) = P(Z >1 .338)

From z tables

P(Y > 20) \simeq 0.0903

The sum of two numbers is 36 . The larger number is 22 more than the smaller number. What are the numbers?
Setler [38]
X + y = 36
x = y + 22

y + 22 + y = 36
2y + 22 = 36
2y = 36 - 22
2y = 14
y = 14/2
y = 7

x + y = 36
x + 7 = 36
x = 36 - 7
x = 29

so ur 2 numbers are : 7 and 29

The Oliver Company plans to market a new product. Based on its market studies, Oliver estimates that it can sell up to 5,500 uni
Ghella [55]
<span>For the Oliver Company to break even, the total revenue must equal the sum of the variable costs and the fixed cost. Mathematically, this can be represented as: Total revenue = 0.4*(Total revenue) + (Fixed Costs) Let the number of units sold be x. then, 7*x = 0.4*(7*x) + 6300 Thus, x = 6300/(0.6*7) = 1500 units. Thus the company will have to sell 1500 units to break even.</span>
