Car X weighs 136 pounds more than car Z. Car Y weighs 117 pounds more than car Z. The total weight of all three cars is 9439 pou

Aleksandr [31]

Let x, y and z denote the weighs of car X, car Y and car Z, respectively.

We know that car X weighs 136 more than car Z, this can be express by the equation:

$x=z+136$

We also know that Y weighs 117 pounds more than car Z, this can be express as:

$y=z+117$

Finally, we know that the total weight of all the cars is 9439, then we have:

$x+y+z=9439$

Hence, we have the system of the equations:

$\begin{gathered} x=z+136 \\ y=z+117 \\ z+y+z=9439 \end{gathered}$

To solve the system we can plug the values of x and y, given in the first two equations, in the last equation; then we have:

$\begin{gathered} z+136+z+117+z=9439 \\ 3z=9439-136-117 \\ 3z=9186 \\ z=\frac{9186}{3} \\ z=3062 \end{gathered}$

Now that we have the value of z we plug it in the first two equations to find x and y:

$\begin{gathered} x=3062+136=3198 \\ y=3062+117=3179 \end{gathered}$

Therefore, car X weighs 3198 pound, car Y weighs 3179 pounds and car Z weighs 3062 pounds.

1. An LG Dishwasher, which costs $800, has a 20% chance of needing to be replaced in the first 2 years of purchase. A two-year e

yKpoI14uk [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

The expected value of the extended warrant is calculated as follow.

Value of Waranty

= 800 x 20% − 112.10

= 800 x 20/100 − 112.10

= 47.9

The expected value of the extended warranty assuming it is replaced in the first 2 years is given as follow.

Expected value=800-112.10=>687.90

Therefore, required expected value of extended warranty is 687.90

2.

Given information:

Number of Trials (n) = 15

Probability of Success (p) = 0.10

a) Let X represents the number of left-handed people.

b) The probability distribution follows binomial distribution.

X ∼ Binomial distribution

The probability distribution is given as follow.

P(X = x) = ^nCx(p)^x(1 − p)^n − x

c)The histogram is given as follow. (See attachment)

d) The shape of histogram is skewed right.

e) The mean is calculated as follow.

Mean

=n x p

= 15 x 0.10

= 1.5

f) The variance is calculated as follow.

Variance

= n x p x q

= 15 x 0.10 x 0.90

= 1.35

g) The standard deviation is calculated as follow.

Standard deviation

=√n x p x q

=√15 x 0.10 x 0.90

= 1.162

The probability that an electronic device produced by a company does not function properly is equal to 0.1. If 10 devices are bo

coldgirl [10]

Answer:

Correct option: A. P=0.057

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Binomial Distribution</u>

The binomial distribution fits the case of n independent events each one with a probability of success equal to p where k successes have been achieved.

The PMF (Probability Mass Function) of the binomial distribution is

$\displaystyle P(k,n,p)=\binom{n}{k}p^kq^{n-k}$

Where $q = 1-p$

The individual probability that an electronic device does not function properly is p=0.1. We know n=10 devices have been bought and we want to compute the probability that 7 devices function properly. Please notice that this is not the value of k since p is the probability of failure. The correct value of k=10-7=3. The required probability is

$\displaystyle P(3,10,0.1)=\binom{10}{3}0.1^30.9^{10-3}$

$\boxed{P=0.057}$

The proprietor of a boutique in New York wanted to determine the average age of his customers. A random sample of 25 customers r

jolli1 [7]

Answer:

$28-2.064\frac{10}{\sqrt{25}}=23.872$

$28+2.064\frac{10}{\sqrt{25}}=32.128$

So on this case the 95% confidence interval would be given by (23.9;32.1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

$\bar X=28$ represent the sample mean

$\mu$ population mean (variable of interest)

s=10 represent the sample standard deviation

n=25 represent the sample size

Solution to the problem

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

$\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$ (1)

In order to calculate the critical value $t_{\alpha/2}$ we need to find first the degrees of freedom, given by:

$df=n-1=25-1=24$

Since the Confidence is 0.95 or 95%, the value of $\alpha=0.05$ and $\alpha/2 =0.025$ , and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-T.INV(0.025,24)".And we see that $t_{\alpha/2}=2.064$

Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1):

$28-2.064\frac{10}{\sqrt{25}}=23.872$

$28+2.064\frac{10}{\sqrt{25}}=32.128$

So on this case the 95% confidence interval would be given by (23.9;32.1)
