The weekly amount spent by a small company for in-state travel has approximately a normal distribution with mean $1450 and stand

ard deviation $220. What is the probability that the actual expenses will exceed $1560 in 20 or more weeks during the next year?

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

Sophie [7]

Consider the closed region $V$ bounded simultaneously by the paraboloid and plane, jointly denoted $S$ . By the divergence theorem,

$\displaystyle\iint_S\mathbf f(x,y,z)\cdot\mathrm dS=\iiint_V\nabla\cdot\mathbf f(x,y,z)\,\mathrm dV$

And since we have

$\nabla\cdot\mathbf f(x,y,z)=1$

the volume integral will be much easier to compute. Converting to cylindrical coordinates, we have

$\displaystyle\iiint_V\nabla\cdot\mathbf f(x,y,z)\,\mathrm dV=\iiint_V\mathrm dV$
$=\displaystyle\int_{\theta=0}^{\theta=2\pi}\int_{r=0}^{r=1}\int_{z=2}^{z=3-r^2}r\,\mathrm dz\,\mathrm dr\,\mathrm d\theta$
$=\displaystyle2\pi\int_{r=0}^{r=1}r(3-r^2-2)\,\mathrm dr$
$=\dfrac\pi2$

Then the integral over the paraboloid would be the difference of the integral over the total surface and the integral over the disk. Denoting the disk by $D$ , we have

$\displaystyle\iint_{S-D}\mathbf f\cdot\mathrm dS=\frac\pi2-\iint_D\mathbf f\cdot\mathrm dS$

Parameterize $D$ by

$\mathbf s(u,v)=u\cos v\,\mathbf i+u\sin v\,\mathbf j+2\,\mathbf k$
$\implies\mathbf s_u\times\mathbf s_v=u\,\mathbf k$

which would give a unit normal vector of $\mathbf k$ . However, the divergence theorem requires that the closed surface $S$ be oriented with outward-pointing normal vectors, which means we should instead use $\mathbf s_v\times\mathbf s_u=-u\,\mathbf k$ .

Now,

$\displaystyle\iint_D\mathbf f\cdot\mathrm dS=\int_{u=0}^{u=1}\int_{v=0}^{v=2\pi}\mathbf f(x(u,v),y(u,v),z(u,v))\cdot(-u\,\mathbf k)\,\mathrm dv\,\mathrm du$
$=\displaystyle-4\pi\int_{u=0}^{u=1}u\,\mathrm du$
$=-2\pi$

So, the flux over the paraboloid alone is

$\displaystyle\iint_{S-D}\mathbf f\cdot\mathrm dS=\frac\pi2-(-2\pi)=\dfrac{5\pi}2$
