The probability that a randomly selected education major received a starting salary offer greater than $52,350 is . The probabil

ity that a randomly selected education major received a starting salary offer between $45,000 and $52,350 is . (Hint: The standard normal distribution is perfectly symmetrical about the mean, the area under the curve to the left (and right) of the mean is 0.5. Therefore, the area under the curve between the mean and a z-score is computed by subtracting the area to the left (or right) of the z-score from 0.5.) What percentage of education majors received a starting offer between $38,500 and $45,000? 6.68%

Answer:

  • <u>1.  0.0808</u>
  • <u>2. 0.5371</u>
  • <u>3. 58.2%</u>

<u></u>

Explanation:

The first part of the question, with the input data, is missing.

This is missing part:

  • <em>Assume that X, the starting salary offer for education majors, is normally distributed with a mean of $46,292 and a standard deviation of $4,320</em>

<h2>Solution</h2><h2 />

<em>Question 1: The probability that a randomly selected education major received a starting salary offer greater than $52,350 is ________</em>

Find the Z-score.

The Z-score is the standardized value of the random variable and represents the number of standard deviations the value of the random variable is away from the mean:

       Z-score=\dfrac{X-\mu}{\sigma}

      Z-score=\dfrac{\$52,350-\$46,292}{\$4,320}=1.40

      P(X>\$52,350)=P(Z>1.40)=P(Z

The<em> standard normal distribution</em> tables give the cumulative probabilities as the cumulative area under the bell-shaped curve. P(Z>1.40) is the area under the curve that is to the right of Z = 1.40 or, what is the same, P(Z<-1.40) is the area to the left of Z = - 1.40.

Using the former, the table indicates P(Z>1.40) = 0.0808, which is 8.08%

<em>Question 2: The probability that a randomly selected education major received a starting salary offer between $45,000 and $52,350 is _______.</em>

Now you  must find the area under the curve between the two Z-scores.

    Z(X=$45,000)=\dfrac{\$45,000-\$46,292}{\$4,320}=-0.30

   Z(X=$52,350)=\dfrac{\$52,350-\$46,292}{\$4,320}=1.40

Then, you must find the area between Z = -0.30 and Z = 1.40

That is P(Z<1.40) - P(Z < - 0.30) = P(Z > - 1.40) - P(Z < - 0.30)

                                                    = 1 - P(Z< -1.40) - P( Z < -0.30)

Now, you can work with the area under the curve to the left of Z = - 1.40 and to the left of Z = - 0.30.

From the corresponding table, that is: 1 - 0.0808 - 0.3821 = 0.5371

<em></em>

<em>Question 3. What percentage of education majors received a starting offer between $38,500 and $45,000? </em>

<em></em>

For X = $38,500:

      Z=\dfrac{\$38,500-\$46,292}{\$4,320}=-1.80

For X = $45,000

     Z = -0.3 (calculated above)

Then, you must find the area under the curve to the right of Z = - 1.80 and to the left of Z = - 0.3

  • P (Z > - 1.80) - P (Z < - 0.3)
  • 1 - P (Z < - 1.80) - P (Z < - 0.3)
  • 1 - 0.0359 - 0.3821 = 0.582 = 58.2%

Andrews [41]

Answer:

54.55%

Explanation:

The purchasing price is $55

Price has increased to $85.

The monetary increase = $85 - $55 = $30

As a percentage , the increase will be

=$30/$55 x 100

=0.545454 x 100

=54.5454%

=54.55%

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

b.112.3 days

Explanation:

The computation of the number of days' sales in inventory for the year is shown below:

Day inventory outstanding = {(Beginning inventory + ending inventory) ÷ 2}÷ cost of goods sold × number of days in a year

= {($200,000 + $140,000) ÷ 2} ÷ ($552,500) × 365 days

= ($170,000)  ÷ ($552,500) × 365 days

= 112.3 days
