Answer 1

The probabilities for various binomial distribution have been determined.

The complete question is

About 5% of hourly paid workers in a region earn the prevailing minimum wage or less. A grocery chain offers discount rates to companies that have at least 30 employees who earn the prevailing minimum wage or less. Complete parts (a) through (c) below.

(a) Company A has 285 employees. What is the probability that Company A will get the discount? (Round to four decimal places as needed.)

(b) Company B has 502 employees. What is the probability that Company B will get the discount? (Round to four decimal places as needed.)

(c) Company C has 1033 employees. What is the probability that Company C will get the discount? (Round to four decimal places as needed.)

What is Probability ?

Probability is a stream in mathematics that study the likeliness of an event to happen .

On the basis of the given data

(a) Let X is a random variable that denotes the number of employees that earn less than prevailing average.

Here X has binomial distribution with

n=285 and p=0.05.

As np and n(1-p) are greater than 5 so using normal approximation X has normal distribution with parameters

μ=  np-285 * 0.05

= 14.25

standard deviation is given by

[tex]\sigma=\sqrt{np(1-p)}=\sqrt{285* 0.05* 0.95}\\\\=3.6793[/tex]

Applying continuity correction.

The z-score for X = 30-0.5 = 29.5 is

[tex]z=\dfrac{29.5-14.25}{3.6793}\\\\=4.14[/tex]

The probability that Company A will get the discount is given by

[tex]P(X\geq 30)=P(z > 4.14)=0.0000[/tex]

(b) Let X is a random variable that denotes the number of employees that earn less than prevailing average.Here X has binomial distribution with

n=502 and p=0.05.

[tex]\rm \mu=np=502* 0.05=25.1[/tex]

standard deviation

[tex]\rm \sigma=\sqrt{np(1-p)}=\sqrt{502\cdot 0.05\cdot 0.95}=4.8831[/tex]

Applying continuity correction.

The z-score for X = 30-0.5 = 29.5 is

[tex]\rm z=\dfrac{29.5-25.1}{4.8831}=0.90[/tex]

The probability that Company B will get the discount is

[tex]P(X\geq 30)=P(z > 0.90)=0.1841[/tex]

(c)Let X is a random variable that denotes the number of employees that earn less than prevailing average.Here X has binomial distribution with

n=1033 and p=0.05.

[tex]\mu=np=1033\cdot 0.05=51.65[/tex]

standard deviation

[tex]\rm \sigma=\sqrt{np(1-p)}=\sqrt{1033*0.05* 0.95}=7.0048[/tex]

Applying continuity correction.

The z-score for X = 30-0.5 = 29.5 is

[tex]\rm z=\dfrac{29.5-51.65}{7.0048}=-3.16[/tex]

The probability that Company C will get the discount is

[tex]\rm P(X\geq 30)=P(z > -3.16)=0.9992[/tex]

Therefore the probabilities for various binomial distribution have been determined.

In the diagram, point D divides line segment AB in the ratio of 5:3. If line segment AC is vertical and line segment CD is horizontal, what are the coordinates of point C? Diagram shows a line segment with endpoints A(2, minus 6) and B(10, 2). Point D lies on this line segment. A dashed segment extends up from point A until point C and then extends horizontally to right until point D, forming a right triangle. A. (2, -1) B. (2, -3) C. (5, -3) D. (7, -1) Reset Next

Answers

The coordinates of point C that forms the triangle is; (2, -1)

How to partition a line segment?

We are told that point D divides line segment AB in the ratio of 5:3.

The line segment division formula is;

(x, y) = (m₁x₂ + m₂x₁)/(m₁ + m₂), (m₁y₂ + m₂y₁)/(m₁ + m₂)

For this question;

x₁ = 2; y₁ = -6; x₂ = 10; y₂ = 2; m₁ = 5; m₂ = 3

Thus, (x, y) gives us;

(5*10 + 3*2)/(5 + 3), (5*2 + 3*-6)/(5 + 3)

D(x, y) = (7, -1)

Now, we need to find the coordinates of C

We will use coordinate system which means the coordinate of x will be the as x coordinate of A since, AC is vertical line

And coordinate of y will be same as y in D since CD is horizontal line. Thus, coordinate of C is; C(2,-1).

Trigonometry is defined as the branch of mathematics dealing with the relations of the sides and angles of triangles and with the relevant functions of any angles. There are three basic trigonometric ratios: sine, cosine, and tangent. Trigonometry and its functions have an enormous number of uses in our daily life. For instance, it is used in geography to measure the distance between landmarks, in astronomy to measure the distance of nearby stars and also in the satellite navigation system.

The trigonometric function of sine for an acute angle is the ratio between the leg opposite the angle when it is considered part of a right triangle and the hypotenuse while the cosine is the ratio of the base and the hypotenuse.

Here, [tex]sin 30[/tex]° [tex]=\frac{4}{8}[/tex]

The slope is -1, and the value of the y-intercept is 6 if the linear function contains the points provided.

What is the slope?

The ratio that y increase as x increases is the slope of a line. The slope of a line reflects how steep it is, but how much y increases as x increases. Anywhere on the line, the slope stays unchanged (the same).

[tex]\rm m =\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

m = -1

The equation of a line:

y = mx + c

y = -x + c

y = 6

y-intercept is (0, 6)

The SAT is the most widely used test in the undergraduaté admissions process, Scores on the math portion of the SAT are believed to
be normally distributed and range from 200 to 800. A researcher from the admissions department at the University of New Hampshire
is interested in estimating the mean math SAT scores of the incoming class with 95% confidence. How large a sample should she take
to ensure that the margin of error is below 20?
(You may find it useful to reference the z table. Round intermediate calculations to at
least 4 decimal places and "2" value to 3 decimal places. Round up your final answer to the nearest whole number.)

Answers

Using the z-distribution, it is found that she should take a sample of 97 scores to ensure that the margin of error is below 20.

What is a z-distribution confidence interval?

The confidence interval is:

[tex]\overline{x} \pm z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

In which:

[tex]\overline{x}[/tex] is the sample mean.z is the critical value.n is the sample size.[tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation for the population.

The margin of error is given by:

[tex]M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

Scores on the math portion of the SAT are believed to be normally distributed and range from 200 to 800, hence by the Empirical Rule the standard deviation is given by:

[tex]6\sigma = 800 - 200[/tex]

[tex]\sigma = 100[/tex]

In this problem, we have a 95% confidence level, hence[tex]\alpha = 0.95[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a p-value of [tex]\frac{1+0.95}{2} = 0.975[/tex], so the critical value is z = 1.96.

To ensure a margin of error of 20, we solve for n when M = 20, hence:

[tex]M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

[tex]20 = 1.96\frac{100}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

[tex]20\sqrt{n} = 1.96 \times 100[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{n} = 1.96 \times 5[/tex]

[tex](\sqrt{n})^2 = (1.96 \times 5)^2[/tex]

n = 96.04.

Rounding up, she should take a sample of 97 scores to ensure that the margin of error is below 20.

Given that:-

28.6% of city employees ride the bus to work. Last year,29.7% of city employees rode the bus to work.

The relative change will be calculated as follows:-

Relative change =  Present year data - Last year's data

Relative change = 28.6 - 29.7
