A manager of a grocery store wants to determine if consumers are spending
more than the national average of $150 with a standard deviation of $30. The
manager collects 10 random receipts and finds that the average customer
spends $160. He then concludes that his customers do spend more than the
national average. a) What do you see as his error in this assumption? b) How
could you redesign the study to correct it?*

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1. The error in the assumption is taking the sample mean, [tex]\bar x[/tex], as being equal to the population mean, μ

2. To correct the error, the manager will need to generate the confidence interval based on the population standard deviation on the acceptable values of the mean using the following relation;

[tex]CI=\bar{x}\pm z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We note that from the central limit theorem as the size of the sample, n, becomes more and more larger, the mean of the sample, [tex]\bar x[/tex], approaches that of the population mean, μ, therefore as the grocery store manager uses the sample mean as the population mean's point estimate an error will be observed based on the size of the sample compared to the population, where the difference between the two means (the population mean and the sample mean) is [tex]\left | \bar{x} - \mu \right |[/tex]

1. The error in the assumption is taking the sample mean, [tex]\bar x[/tex], as being equal to the population mean, μ

2. To correct the error, the manager will need to generate the confidence interval based on the population standard deviation on the acceptable values of the mean using the following relation;

[tex]CI=\bar{x}\pm z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

Where:

σ = Population standard deviation = $30

z = z value at 95% confidence level = 1.96

[tex]\bar x[/tex] = Sample mean $160

n = Sample size = 10

Plugging in the values, we have;

$141.4 < [tex]\bar x[/tex] < $178.6

Hence the expected value of the mean should be between $141.4 and $178.6.

One endpoint of a line segment is (–6, 4), and the midpoint of the segment is (–2, 7). What are the coordinates of the other endpoint?
A. (2, 10)
B. (−10, 1)
C. (3, 11)
D. (−10, 18)

Answers

Answer:

A. (2, 10)

Step-by-step explanation:

If there are two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) on a coordinates plane then

coordinates of the midpoint is given by (x1+x2)/2, (y1+y2)/2

__________________________________________________

Given

one endpoint is (–6, 4) and midpoint is (–2, 7)

let coordinates of other endpoint be (x,y)

now if one endpoint is (–6, 4) and other endpoint is (x,y)

then coordinates of midpoint is ((-6+x)/2 , (4+y)/2)

while the coordinates of midpoint given  is  (–2, 7)

thus (–2, 7) should be equal to ((-6+x)/2 , (4+y)/2)

-2 = (-6+x)/2             and   7 = (4+y)/2

=> -2*2 = -6+x                 => 7*2 = 4+y

=> -4 = -6+x                    => 14 = 4+y

=> -4+6 = x                     => 14-4 = y

=> x = 2                           => 10 = y

Thus, coordinates of the other endpoint is(2,10)

Rosalia went on a long bike ride. The table shows how long she biked and the distance she traveled. Determine whether the relationship between hours biked and miles traveled is proportional.

Answers

Answer:

There needs to be a graph.

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of change is not the same for all the cases so, the relationship between hours biked, and the miles traveled is not proportional.

What is proportionality?

We use constant of proportionality in mathematics to calculate the rate of change and at the same time determine if it is direct variation or inverse variation that we are dealing with.

From the table, we need to find the rate of change between two given hours and the miles traveled at that time.

Now,

Between 1 hour and 2 hours.

The rate of change.

= (26 - 12) / (2 -1)

= 14 / 1

= 14

Between 2 hours and 3 hours.

The rate of change.

= (30 - 26) / (3 - 2)

= 4 / 1

= 4

Between 3 hours and 4 hours.

The rate of change.

= (48 - 30) / (4 - 3)

= 18 / 1

= 18

Since,

The rate of change is not the same for all the cases so,

Hence, the relationship between hours biked, and the miles traveled is not proportional.

The half-life of a certain radioactive material is 37 days. An initial amount of the material has
a mass of 477 kg. Write an exponential function that models the decay of this material. Find
how much radioactive material remains after 6 days. Round your answer to the nearest
thousandth.

Answers

Answer is option B that ends with 426.288 kg.

The exponential function that models the decay of this material is [tex]477(\frac{1}{2})^{(\frac{t}{37} )}[/tex] and the quantity of substance remains is 426.28 grams

What is Half life?

Half-life, in radioactivity, the interval of time required for one-half of the atomic nuclei of a radioactive sample to decay.

What is Radioactive material?

Radionuclides (or radioactive materials) are a class of chemicals where the nucleus of the atom is unstable

Given,

Half life of a certain radioactive material = 37 days

Initial amount of the material = 477 grams

Quantity of substance remains N(t) = [tex]N_{0}(\frac{1}{2})^{(\frac{t}{half-life} )}[/tex]

Substitute the value in the equation N(t) =[tex]477(\frac{1}{2})^{(\frac{t}{37} )}[/tex]

[tex]477(\frac{1}{2})^{(\frac{t}{37} )}[/tex] is the exponential function that models the decay of this material.

Quantity of substance remains after 6 days = [tex]477(\frac{1}{2})^{(\frac{6}{37} )}[/tex] = 426.28 grams

Hence, the exponential function that models the decay of this material is [tex]477(\frac{1}{2})^{(\frac{t}{37} )}[/tex] and Quantity of substance remains is 426.28 grams
