Mariah Jacobsen is the marketing manager at ABC Electronics, a major consumer electronics supplier in the northwest. Over the la

st five years, sales of the company's flagship product - the Wizer Anonymizer (the WA) - have been 45000, 45500, 44500, 46000 and 44000 units. This rate of sales is considered average for the product over the last twenty years or so. Ms. Jacobsen believes that the distribution of the WA's sales is normal with a standard deviation of 1500 units. If she were asked to make a forecast of next year's sales to upper management, what is the likelihood that she would be correct if she predicts sales between 43000 and 46000?

Answer:

0.6568 = 65.68% probability that she would be correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the distribution is normal, we use 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.

45000, 45500, 44500, 46000 and 44000 units. This rate of sales is considered average for the product over the last twenty years or so.

This means that:

\mu = \frac{45000 + 45500 + 44500 + 46000 + 44000}{5} = 45000

Standard deviation of 1500 units.

This means that \sigma = 1500

What is the likelihood that she would be correct if she predicts sales between 43000 and 46000?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 46000 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 43000. So

X = 46000

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

Z = \frac{46000 - 45000}{1500}

Z = 0.67

Z = 0.67 has a pvalue of 0.7486

X = 43000

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

Z = \frac{43000 - 45000}{1500}

Z = -1.33

Z = -1.33 has a pvalue of 0.0918

0.7486 - 0.0918 = 0.6568

0.6568 = 65.68% probability that she would be correct.

Answer:

7()=11

8()=42

I could barely see the answer for number 9 sorry :(

Step-by-step explanation:

the 7() is 2(3)+5

2(3)=6

6+5=11

Question (8)

c^2+3a x b

c(6)^2+ 3(3) x 2/3

36+9 x 2/3

36+6=42

A study was done on the batting averages for two baseball players: Hitmore and Bunter. Data were collected over a period of time
amm1812

Answer:

Both (B) and (C) are correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Explaining in simple terms, The Simpson's paradox simply describes a phenomenon which occurs when observable trends in a relationship, which are obvious during singular evaluation of the variables disappears when each of this relationships are combined. This is what played out when hitmire appears to d well on both of natyraknamd artificial turf when separately compared, but isn't the same when the turf data was combined. Also, performance may actually not be related to the turf as turf may Just be. a lurking variable causing a spurious association in performance.

Write the equation of the line that passes through the points (-9, -8) and (–6,6).
sveta [45]

Answer:

Slope - intercept form    y = \frac{14}{3} x  + 34

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Explanation:-</em></u>

Given points are ( -9 ,-8 ) and (-6,6)

slope of given two points

    m = \frac{y_{2} -y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1}  } = \frac{6-(-8)}{-6-(-9)} = \frac{14}{3}

The equation of the straight line passing through the points and having slope

          y - y_{1} = m ( x - x_{1} )

        y - (-8) = \frac{14}{3}  ( x - (-9) )

          3 y + 2 4 = 14 x + 126

           3 y = 14 x + 126 - 24

          3 y = 14 x + 102

            y = \frac{14}{3} + \frac{102}{3}

           y = \frac{14}{3} x  + 34

Slope - intercept form  y= mx +C

Slope - intercept form    y = \frac{14}{3} x  + 34
