Thompson and Thompson is a steel bolts manufacturing company. Their current steel bolts have a mean diameter of 141 millimeters,

tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

Probability that the sample mean would be greater than 141.4 millimetres is 0.3594.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Thompson and Thompson is a steel bolts manufacturing company. Their current steel bolts have a mean diameter of 141 millimetres, and a standard deviation of 7.

A random sample of 39 steel bolts is selected.

Let $\bar X$ = sample mean diameter

The z score probability distribution for sample mean is given by;

Z = $\frac{ \bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } }$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\mu$ = population mean diameter = 141 millimetres

$\sigma$ = standard deviation = 7 millimetres

n = sample of steel bolts = 39

Now, Percentage the sample mean would be greater than 141.4 millimetres is given by = P( $\bar X$ > 141.4 millimetres)

P( $\bar X$ > 141.4) = P( $\frac{ \bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } }$ > $\frac{141.4-141}{\frac{7}{\sqrt{39} } } }$ ) = P(Z > 0.36) = 1 - P(Z $\leq$ 0.36)

= 1 - 0.6406 = 0.3594

The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 0.36 in the z table which has an area of 0.6406.

A savings account compounds interest, at a rate of 25%, once a year. Eve puts $500 in the account as the principal. How can Eve

vladimir1956 [14]

Year 1: 500 + 0.25*500 = 500 [1 + 0.25]

Year 2: 500*[ 1 + 0.25] * [1 + 0.25] = 500 [1 + 0.25]^2

Year x: 500 [1 + 0.25]^x

Option d: A(x) = 500[1 + .25]^x, where .25 is the interest rate

lions [1.4K]

Answer:
$34
$26.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Membership cost per month = $25
Price of a slice of pizza for members= $1.50
How much would Aaliyah have
to pay the pizza shop if she bought 6 slices of pizza this month
Total cost of Aaliyah on 6 slices of pizza = membership cost per month + prices of 6 discounted pizza
= $25 + $1.50(6)
= $25 + $9
= $34
What would be the
monthly cost for a slices of pizza
Monthly cost of Aaliyah a slices of pizza = membership cost per month + price of 1 discounted pizza
= $25 + $1.5
= $26.5
