16. A telemarketer makes six phone calls per hour and is able to make a sale on 30% of these contacts. During the next two hours

Reika [66]

Answer:

a) 23.11% probability of making exactly four sales.

b) 1.38% probability of making no sales.

c) 16.78% probability of making exactly two sales.

d) The mean number of sales in the two-hour period is 3.6.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each phone call, there are only two possible outcomes. Either a sale is made, or it is not. The probability of a sale being made in a call is independent from other calls. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

A telemarketer makes six phone calls per hour and is able to make a sale on 30% of these contacts. During the next two hours, find:

Six calls per hour, 2 hours. So

$n = 2*6 = 12$

Sale on 30% of these calls, so $p = 0.3$

a. The probability of making exactly four sales.

This is P(X = 4).

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 4) = C_{12,4}.(0.3)^{4}.(0.7)^{8} = 0.2311$

23.11% probability of making exactly four sales.

b. The probability of making no sales.

This is P(X = 0).

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{12,0}.(0.3)^{0}.(0.7)^{12} = 0.0138$

1.38% probability of making no sales.

c. The probability of making exactly two sales.

This is P(X = 2).

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 2) = C_{12,2}.(0.3)^{2}.(0.7)^{10} = 0.1678$

16.78% probability of making exactly two sales.

d. The mean number of sales in the two-hour period.

The mean of the binomia distribution is

$E(X) = np$

So

$E(X) = 12*0.3 = 3.6$

The mean number of sales in the two-hour period is 3.6.

Corey is out on the roads doing a long run, and also doing some mental calculations at the same time. corey's pace is 3 strides

amm1812

A. 352 seconds or 5 minutes 52 seconds.
B. 320 seconds or 5 minutes and 20 seconds
C. 27687 steps
There are 5280 feet per mile. In A, 3 strides per second at 5 feet gives us 15 ft per second. 5280/15 = 352 seconds. In B, 3 strides per second at 5.5 feet gives us 16.5 feet per second. 5280/16.5 = 320 seconds. In C, we calculate the total feet to divide by 5 per step. multiply 26 miles by 5280 to get feet per mile and multiply 385 by 3 to get the feet per yard. Add them together. then divide by 5. 26(5280) + 385(3) =138435. 138435/5 = 27687 steps

The ability to find a job after graduation is very important to GSU students as it is to the students at most colleges and unive

gtnhenbr [62]

Answer: (0.8468, 0.8764)

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula to find the confidence interval for population proportion is given by :-

$\hat{p}\pm z^*\sqrt{\dfrac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}}$

, where $\hat{p}$ = sample proportion.

z* = Critical value

n= Sample size.

Let p be the true proportion of GSU Juniors who believe that they will, immediately, be employed after graduation.

Given : Sample size = 3597

Number of students believe that they will find a job immediately after graduation= 3099

Then, $\hat{p}=\dfrac{3099}{3597}\approx0.8616$

We know that , Critical value for 99% confidence interval = z*=2.576 (By z-table)

The 99 % confidence interval for the proportion of GSU Juniors who believe that they will, immediately, be employed after graduation will be

$0.8616\pm(2.576)\sqrt{\dfrac{0.8616(1-0.8616)}{3597}}$

$0.8616\pm (2.576)\sqrt{0.0000331513594662}$

$\approx0.8616\pm0.0148\\\\=(0.8616-0.0148,\ 0.8616+0.0148)=(0.8468,\ 0.8764)$

Hence, the 99 % confidence interval for the proportion of GSU Juniors who believe that they will, immediately, be employed after graduation. = (0.8468, 0.8764)
