As you've got 15%, the best thing to do is to find 10%, then multiply it by 1.5. Once you've found the tip, you add this onto the cost of the meal.
Therefore, the total cost of $25 meal with a 15% tip is $28.75
Hope this helps :)
Answer:
95.44% probability the resulting sample proportion is within .04 of the true proportion.
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 normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean and standard deviation
, the zscore of a measure X is given by:
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 pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
Central Limit Theorem
The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean and standard deviation
, the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean
and standard deviation
.
For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.
For the sampling distribution of the sample proportion in sample of size n, the mean is and the standard deviation is
In this question:
So
How likely is the resulting sample proportion to be within .04 of the true proportion (i.e., between .16 and .24)?
This is the pvalue of Z when X = 0.24 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 0.16.
X = 0.24
By the Central Limit Theorem
has a pvalue of 0.9772.
X = 0.16
has a pvalue of 0.0228.
0.9772 - 0.0228 = 0.9544
95.44% probability the resulting sample proportion is within .04 of the true proportion.
