Maia is comparing the costs for one month's usage of two cell phone companies. Company A charges $\$40$ per month plus $\$8.50$

per gigabyte of data used. Company B charges $\$30$ per month plus $\$10.50$ per gigabyte of data used.

Answer:

5 is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

This is not my solution but thought you could use it!

Answer:

company A:  y= 40+8.5*(x)

company B: y=30+10.5*(x)

5 gigabytes of data would have to be used for company A and B to cost the same amount.

Step-by-step explanation:

let the cost be represented on y axis. so, the equation for company A is:

(for the first month) : y= 40+8.5*(x)

[common monthly charges are $40 and let x represent the number of gigabytes of data used. so, 8.5*x gives cost due to to total gigabytes. hence, i have added 40 and  8.5*x to represent the total cost for first month]

company B:

y=30+10.5*(x)

[obtain this also in the above mentioned manner]

the graph is uploaded in the attachment.

to know about number of gigabytes required to make the costs of both the company equal, we can directly observe in the graph where both the company's lines intersect and the get the corresponding x coordinate. this x coordinate represents the required number of gigabytes. or we can directly equate the above equations.[as shown below]

40+8.5*(x)=30+10.5*(x)

subtracting 30 from both sides,

10+8.5x=10.5x

subtracting 8.5x from both sides,

10=2x

dividing both the sides by 2.5,

5=x [since, 10/2 = 5)

therefore, 5 gigabytes of data would have to be used for company A and B to cost the same amount.

A manufacturer knows that their items have a normally distributed length, with a mean of 15.4 inches, and standard deviation of
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

0.9452 = 94.52% probability that their mean length is less than 16.8 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the z-score of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

Mean of 15.4 inches, and standard deviation of 3.5 inches.

This means that \mu = 15.4, \sigma = 3.5

16 items are chosen at random

This means that n = 16, s = \frac{3.5}{\sqrt{16}} = 0.875

What is the probability that their mean length is less than 16.8 inches?

This is the p-value of Z when X = 16.8. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

By the Central Limit Theorem

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

Z = \frac{16.8 - 15.4}{0.875}

Z = 1.6

Z = 1.6 has a p-value of 0.9452.

0.9452 = 94.52% probability that their mean length is less than 16.8 inches.
