Why might a mattress store choose to advertise new mattresses, worth $1,000, as $50 per week for 22 weeks?

$50 per week is more affordable to most people than $1000 up front. So the customer is more likely to buy it, and the store ends up 50*22 = $1100, so $100 more (which might seem worth it for the customer if they get to pay it over 22 weeks).

Some people might also be enticed by the low price of $50 and think its cheaper.

By doing so, they provide the illusion that the payments are cheaper then 1000 dollars, because 50 looks very small, when in reality it's $100 more then what the mattress is actually worth.

Sharon earns 4% Commission on the items that she sells one week she earns $150 in commission what is the total value of the item

Annette [7]

X = total sales
y = sharon's commision earnings

Since Sharon makes 4% of the total sales, we want to calculate how many sales equate to a $150 return. Since 4% = .04, the solution would be :

y = .04 x
150 = .04 x
150/.04 = x
3750 = x

Majesty Video Production Inc. wants the mean length of its advertisements to be 26 seconds. Assume the distribution of ad length

Paladinen [302]

Answer:

a) By the Central Limit Theorem, approximately normally distributed, with mean 26 and standard error 0.44.

b) s = 0.44

c) 0.84% of the sample means will be greater than 27.05 seconds

d) 98.46% of the sample means will be greater than 25.05 seconds

e) 97.62% of the sample means will be greater than 25.05 but less than 27.05 seconds

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 $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore 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 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 $\mu$ 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(also called standard error) $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .
