3 0

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find what one share is

we have 3 shares + 2 shares + 5 shares

so he have a total of 10 shares

next, we divide 50 by total shares to get what one share is

50 ÷ 10 = 5

5 is one share

fins what each is

for 3

3 shares so 3 fives

3 × 5 = 15

for 2

2 shares so 2 fives

2 × 5 = 10

and for 5

can you work it out and leave in the comments i will say if it is correct

Answer:

I can't see the other answers, but find the one that goes to 3. It will look like C, but only arrows going up.

Step-by-step explanation:

1 + 1 = 2

1/2 + 1/2 = 1

Answer: x³+2x²-22x+12

Step-by-step explanation:

the product of functions: (hg)(x)

Use FOIL to solve this (First Outer Inner Later)

(x+6)(x²-4x+2)

=x³-4x²+2x+6x²-24x+12

=x³-4x²+6x²+2x-24x+12

=x³+2x²-22x+12

The CPA Practice Advisor reports that the mean preparation fee for 2017 federal income tax returns was $273. Use this price as t

skad [1K]

Answer:

a) 0.6212 = 62.12% probability that the mean price for a sample of 30 federal income tax returns is within $16 of the population mean.

b) 0.7416 = 74.16% probability that the mean price for a sample of 50 federal income tax returns is within $16 of the population mean.

c) 0.8804 = 88.04% probability that the mean price for a sample of 100 federal income tax returns is within $16 of the population mean.

d) None of them ensure, that one which comes closer is a sample size of 100 in option c), to guarantee, we need to keep increasing the sample size.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score 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 p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

The CPA Practice Advisor reports that the mean preparation fee for 2017 federal income tax returns was $273. Use this price as the population mean and assume the population standard deviation of preparation fees is $100.

This means that $\mu = 273, \sigma = 100$

A) What is the probability that the mean price for a sample of 30 federal income tax returns is within $16 of the population mean?

Sample of 30 means that $n = 30, s = \frac{100}{\sqrt{30}}$

The probability is the p-value of Z when X = 273 + 16 = 289 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 273 - 16 = 257. So

X = 289

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}$

$Z = \frac{289 - 273}{\frac{100}{\sqrt{30}}}$

$Z = 0.88$

$Z = 0.88$ has a p-value of 0.8106

X = 257

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}$

$Z = \frac{257 - 273}{\frac{100}{\sqrt{30}}}$

$Z = -0.88$

$Z = -0.88$ has a p-value of 0.1894

0.8106 - 0.1894 = 0.6212

0.6212 = 62.12% probability that the mean price for a sample of 30 federal income tax returns is within $16 of the population mean.

B) What is the probability that the mean price for a sample of 50 federal income tax returns is within $16 of the population mean?

Sample of 30 means that $n = 50, s = \frac{100}{\sqrt{50}}$

X = 289

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}$

$Z = \frac{289 - 273}{\frac{100}{\sqrt{50}}}$

$Z = 1.13$

$Z = 1.13$ has a p-value of 0.8708

X = 257

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}$

$Z = \frac{257 - 273}{\frac{100}{\sqrt{50}}}$

$Z = -1.13$

$Z = -1.13$ has a p-value of 0.1292

0.8708 - 0.1292 = 0.7416

0.7416 = 74.16% probability that the mean price for a sample of 50 federal income tax returns is within $16 of the population mean.

C) What is the probability that the mean price for a sample of 100 federal income tax returns is within $16 of the population mean?

Sample of 30 means that $n = 100, s = \frac{100}{\sqrt{100}}$

X = 289

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}$

$Z = \frac{289 - 273}{\frac{100}{\sqrt{100}}}$

$Z = 1.6$

$Z = 1.6$ has a p-value of 0.9452

X = 257

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}$

$Z = \frac{257 - 273}{\frac{100}{\sqrt{100}}}$

$Z = -1.6$

$Z = -1.6$ has a p-value of 0.0648

0.9452 - 0.0648 =

0.8804 = 88.04% probability that the mean price for a sample of 100 federal income tax returns is within $16 of the population mean.

D) Which, if any of the sample sizes in part (a), (b), and (c) would you recommend to ensure at least a .95 probability that the same mean is withing $16 of the population mean?

None of them ensure, that one which comes closer is a sample size of 100 in option c), to guarantee, we need to keep increasing the sample size.

S is inversely proportional to t . When s = 0.5 , t = 7 Work out t when s = 5

shtirl [24]

Answer:

t = 0.7

Step-by-step explanation:

s = k/t where 'k' is the constant of variation

given: 0.5 = k/7 so k = 3.5

5 = 3.5/t

5t = 3.5

t = 0.7
