The cost of living in San Francisco, California is greater than the cost of living in Baltimore.

Given that

The Porter family used an online family budget estimator to compare the costs of living in Baltimore and San Francisco for a family with two parents and two children.

We have to determine

Where is the cost of living higher?

According to the question

Cost of living is the amount of money needed for fixed expenses such as housing, food, taxes, and health care, as well as variable expenses.

Big cities tend to have a higher cost of living than smaller cities.

From a business perspective, we need to consider the cost of living and rent index (considering they will rent in both cities) difference in response to net earnings.

According to recent statistics, the cost of living in Baltimore is about 40 percent lower than in San Francisco.

Also, it should be noted the Porter Family would have to earn quite more than they do in Baltimore before they can maintain the same standard of living.

Supposing Porter's family is earning $50,000 in Baltimore, they would need about $89,000 to maintain the same lifestyle they lived in Baltimore.

Per data in general, we can say that it would cost ~$5000+ to live in California.

These values should be directly related to the indices difference of these underlying factors: consumer prices (CA is 4% lower than MD), consumer prices + rent (CA is 7% higher than MD), rent (CA is 28% higher than MD), restaurant (CA is 3% lower than MD), groceries (CA is 4% lower than MD), and local purchasing power is 10% higher in CA than MD.

Hence, the cost of living in San Francisco, California is greater than the cost of living in Baltimore, Maryland.

The augmented matrix of a system of equations has been transformed to an equivalent matrix in​ row-echelon form. Using​ x, y
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer: The system of equations is:

x + 2y + 2 = 4

y - 3z = 9

z = - 2

The solution is: x = -22; y = 15; z = -2;

Step-by-step explanation: ONe way of solving a system of equations is using the Gauss-Jordan Elimination.

The method consists in transforming the system into an augmented matrix, which is writing the system in form of a matrix and then into a <u>Row</u> <u>Echelon</u> <u>Form,</u> which satisfies the following conditions:

  • There is a row of all zeros at the bottom of the matrix;
  • The first non-zero element of any row is 1, which called leading role;
  • The leading row of the first row is to the right of the leading role of the previous row;

For this question, the matrix is a Row Echelon Form and is written as:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&2&2\\0&1&3\\0&0&1\end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}4\\9\\-2\end{array}\right]

or in system form:

x + 2y + 2z = 4

       y + 3z = 9

               z = -2

Now, to determine the variables:

z = -2

y + 3(-2) = 9

y = 15

x + 30 - 4 = 4

x = - 22

The solution is (-22,15,-2).

The process standard deviation is 0.27, and the process control is set at plus or minus one standard deviation. Units with weigh
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

a) P(X

And for the other case:

tex] P(X>10.15)[/tex]

P(X>10.15)= P(Z > \frac{10.15-10}{0.15}) = P(Z>1)=1-P(Z

So then the probability of being defective P(D) is given by:

P(D) = 0.159+0.159 = 0.318

And the expected number of defective in a sample of 1000 units are:

X= 0.318*1000= 318

b) P(X

And for the other case:

tex] P(X>10.15)[/tex]

P(X>10.15)= P(Z > \frac{10.15-10}{0.05}) = P(Z>3)=1-P(Z

So then the probability of being defective P(D) is given by:

P(D) = 0.00135+0.00135 = 0.0027

And the expected number of defective in a sample of 1000 units are:

X= 0.0027*1000= 2.7

c) For this case the advantage is that we have less items that will be classified as defective

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming this complete question: "Motorola used the normal distribution to determine the probability of defects and the number  of defects expected in a production process. Assume a production process produces  items with a mean weight of 10 ounces. Calculate the probability of a defect and the expected  number of defects for a 1000-unit production run in the following situation.

Part a

The process standard deviation is .15, and the process control is set at plus or minus  one standard deviation. Units with weights less than 9.85 or greater than 10.15 ounces  will be classified as defects."

Previous concepts

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".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the weights of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(10,0.15)  

Where \mu=10 and \sigma=0.15

We can calculate the probability of being defective like this:

P(X

And we can use the z score formula given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

And if we replace we got:

P(X

And for the other case:

tex] P(X>10.15)[/tex]

P(X>10.15)= P(Z > \frac{10.15-10}{0.15}) = P(Z>1)=1-P(Z

So then the probability of being defective P(D) is given by:

P(D) = 0.159+0.159 = 0.318

And the expected number of defective in a sample of 1000 units are:

X= 0.318*1000= 318

Part b

Through process design improvements, the process standard deviation can be reduced to .05. Assume the process control remains the same, with weights less than 9.85 or  greater than 10.15 ounces being classified as defects.

P(X

And for the other case:

tex] P(X>10.15)[/tex]

P(X>10.15)= P(Z > \frac{10.15-10}{0.05}) = P(Z>3)=1-P(Z

So then the probability of being defective P(D) is given by:

P(D) = 0.00135+0.00135 = 0.0027

And the expected number of defective in a sample of 1000 units are:

X= 0.0027*1000= 2.7

Part c What is the advantage of reducing process variation, thereby causing process control  limits to be at a greater number of standard deviations from the mean?

For this case the advantage is that we have less items that will be classified as defective
