Answer:
The expected rate of return is 6.3%.
The standard deviation is of 11.29%.
Step-by-step explanation:
Expected rate of return
Multiply each rate by its probability. So
[tex]E = 0.1(-20) + 0.2(0) + 0.4(7) + 0.2(15) + 0.1(25) = 6.3[/tex]
The expected rate of return is 6.3%.
Standard deviation:
Square root of the difference squared between each value and the mean, multiplied by the probability. So
[tex]S = \sqrt{0.1(-20-6.3)^2 + 0.2(0-6.3)^2 + 0.4(7-6.3)^2 + 0.2(15-6.3)^2 + 0.1(25 - 6.3)^2} = 11.29[/tex]
The standard deviation is of 11.29%.
In a recent academic year, many public universities in the United States raised tuition and fees due to a decrease in state subsidies. The change in the cost of tuition, a shared dormitory room, and the most popular meal plan from the previous academic year for a sample of 10 public universities were as follows:
$1,589, $593, $1,223, $869, $423, $1,720, $708, $1,425, $922 and $308.
a. What is the mean and median change in the cost? (Explain how you obtain your answer.)
b. What is the five-number summary of the change in the cost? (Explain how you obtain your answer.)
c. What is the standard deviation of the change in the cost? (Explain how you obtain your answer.)
d. The middle 50% of the change in the cost is spread over what value? (Explain how you obtain your answer.)
e. What is the coefficient of variation of the change in cost? (Explain how you obtain your answer.)
f. What are the (absolute values of) the Z scores of the change in cost?
Answer:
1. mean = 980 median = $895.5
2. 308, 593, 895.5, 1425, 1720
3. 491.7978
4. 895.5
5. 50.28%
Step-by-step explanation:
1. mean $1,589+$593+$1,223+$869+$423+$1,720+$708+$1,425+$922+$308/10
= 9780/10
= $978
median
We first arrange the values in ascending order
308,423,593,708,869,922,1223,1425,1589,1720
number of observation is even so we pick the 2 values in the middle and divide by 2
= 869+922/2
= $1791/2
$895.5
2. five number summary of change
the botom half of th dta set = 308,423,593,708,869
minimum value = 308
n = 5
median = 593 = q1
from 1, q2 = median = $895.5
the upper half of data
922,1223,1425,1589,1720
n = 5
median = $1425
maximum value = $1720
the five number summary of change in cost is therefore
308, 593, 895.5, 1425, 1720
3. standard deviation
[tex]s =[\sqrt{x-barx} ]^{2} \frac{1}{n-1}[/tex]
bar x is the mean = 978
($1,589-978)²+ ($593-978)²+ ($1,223-978)²+ ($869-978)+ ($423-978)²+ $1,720-978)²+($708-978)²+ ($1,425-978)²+ ($922-978)²+ ($308-978)²
= 2176786
=[tex]\sqrt\frac{1}{10-1} {2176786} \\\sqrt{ \frac{2176786}{9}[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{241865.1}[/tex]
= 491.7978
4. middle 50% is spread over the median, which is 895.5
5. coefficient of variation
= s/bar x * 100
= 491.7978/978 * 100
= 49179.78/978
= 50.28%
6. z score = x - mean/s
x = 1589
= 1589-978/491.7978
= 1.2424
for x = 593
593-978/491.7978
= -0.7828
= 0.7828
for x = 1223
1223-978/491.7978

= -0.2216
= 0.2216
for x = 423
423-978/491.7978
= -1.1285
= 1.1285
x = 1720
1720-978/491.7978
z = 1.5088
for x = 708
708-978/491.7978
= -0.5490
= 0.5490
for x = 1425
1425-978/491.7978

Step-by-step explanation:
A farmer knows that a grocery store will reject a shipment of his vegetables if more than 4% of the vegetables contain blemishes. He inspects a large truckload of tomatoes to determine if the proportion with blemishes (p) exceeds 0.04. He selects an SRS of 150 tomatoes from the more than 2,000 tomatoes in the truck. Suppose that 8 tomatoes sampled are found to have blemishes. Which of the assumptions for inference about a proportion is violated, if any?
a. Large Counts: np > 10
b. Large Counts: n(1 – p) > 10
c. The sample is a random sample of the entire population.
d. 10% condition: the sample size is less than 10% of the population.
e. There do not appear to be any violations.
Answer:
Assumption A is violated
Step-by-step explanation:
x = number of blemishes = 8
n = sample size = 150
proportion = x/n = 8/150 = 0.0533
1. large counts: np> 10
= 150 * 0.0533 >10
= 7.995 > 10
this assumpton is obviously violated. 7.995 is not greater than 10
2. Large Counts: n(1 - p) > 10
150(1-0.0533)>10
150-7.995 > 10
142.005> 10
there is no violation. The assumption is satisfied
3. This assumption is satisfied. this is because the tomatoes were selected using simple random sampling.
4. 10% of the population = 0.1 * 2000 = 200
the sample size = 150
150 < 200
this assumption is satisfied

Noah has $5.
1.
a.
Elena has 40% as much as Noah. How much does Elena have?
b.
Compare Elena's and Noah's money using fractions. Draw a diagram to
illustrate.
Answer:
a. $4
b. Noah has 5/5. Elena has 4/5.
Step-by-step explanation:
Noah has $5.
a.
Elena has 80% of Noah's money.
80% of $5 = 0.80 * $5 = $4
b.
Noah has $5. We can consider $5 to be the full amount.
A full amount is 100% or 1 or 5/5.
Elena has 80% of Noah's money, so she has 80/100 of Noah's money.
80/100 reduces to 4/5.
Noah has 5/5, and Elena has 4/5.
The money that Elena has is $2.
What is percentage?A percentage is a value that indicates 100th part of any quantity.
A percentage can be converted into a fraction or a decimal by dividing it by 100.
The given problem can be solved as follows,
(a) The amount of money Elena has is 40% of that of Noah.
It can be written as follows,
40% × 5
= 40/100 × 5
= 2
(b) Since the Elena has 40% of the Noah's money,
In the form of fraction it can be written as follows,
40% = 40/100
= 2/5
This can be represented in a diagram as follows,
In the diagram shown the circle has in total 5 sectors of which 2 yellow sectors represent Elena's money.
Hence, the amount of money Elena has is $2 which is shown in the diagram.

Richard has just been given an l0-question multiple-choice quiz in his history class. Each question has five answers, of which only one is correct, Since Richard has not attended a class recently, he doesn't know any of the answers, Assuming that Richard guesses on all 10 questions. Find the indicated probabilities.
A) What is the probability that he will answer all questions correctly?
B) What is the probability that he will answer all questions incorrectly?
C) What is the probability that he will answer at least one of the questions correctly?
Then use the fact that P(r1) = 1 P(r = 0).
D) What is the probability that Richard will answer at least half the questions correctly?
Answer:
a) 0.0000001024 probability that he will answer all questions correctly.
b) 0.1074 = 10.74% probability that he will answer all questions incorrectly
c) 0.8926 = 89.26% probability that he will answer at least one of the questions correctly.
d) 0.0328 = 3.28% probability that Richard will answer at least half the questions correctly
Step-by-step explanation:
For each question, there are only two possible outcomes. Either he answers it correctly, or he does not. The probability of answering a question correctly is independent of any other question. This means that we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.
Binomial probability distribution
The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]
And p is the probability of X happening.
Each question has five answers, of which only one is correct
This means that the probability of correctly answering a question guessing is [tex]p = \frac{1}{5} = 0.2[/tex]
10 questions.
This means that [tex]n = 10[/tex]
A) What is the probability that he will answer all questions correctly?
This is [tex]P(X = 10)[/tex]
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 10) = C_{10,10}.(0.2)^{10}.(0.8)^{0} = 0.0000001024[/tex]
0.0000001024 probability that he will answer all questions correctly.
B) What is the probability that he will answer all questions incorrectly?
None correctly, so [tex]P(X = 0)[/tex]
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{10,0}.(0.2)^{0}.(0.8)^{10} = 0.1074[/tex]
0.1074 = 10.74% probability that he will answer all questions incorrectly
C) What is the probability that he will answer at least one of the questions correctly?
This is
[tex]P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)[/tex]
Since [tex]P(X = 0) = 0.1074[/tex], from item b.
[tex]P(X \geq 1) = 1 - 0.1074 = 0.8926[/tex]
0.8926 = 89.26% probability that he will answer at least one of the questions correctly.
D) What is the probability that Richard will answer at least half the questions correctly?
This is
[tex]P(X \geq 5) = P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 7) + P(X = 8) + P(X = 9) + P(X = 10)[/tex]
In which
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 5) = C_{10,5}.(0.2)^{5}.(0.8)^{5} = 0.0264[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 6) = C_{10,6}.(0.2)^{6}.(0.8)^{4} = 0.0055[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 7) = C_{10,7}.(0.2)^{7}.(0.8)^{3} = 0.0008[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 8) = C_{10,8}.(0.2)^{8}.(0.8)^{2} = 0.0001[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 9) = C_{10,9}.(0.2)^{9}.(0.8)^{1} \approx 0[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 10) = C_{10,10}.(0.2)^{10}.(0.8)^{0} \approx 0[/tex]
So
[tex]P(X \geq 5) = P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 7) + P(X = 8) + P(X = 9) + P(X = 10) = 0.0264 + 0.0055 + 0.0008 + 0.0001 + 0 + 0 = 0.0328[/tex]
0.0328 = 3.28% probability that Richard will answer at least half the questions correctly

Suppose that a committee is studying whether there is waste of time in our judicial system. It is interested in the mean amount of time individuals waste at the courthouse waiting to be called for jury duty. The committee randomly surveyed 81 people who recently served as jurors. The sample mean wait time was eight hours with a sample standard deviation of four hours. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the population mean time wasted. Which distribution should you use for this problem
Answer:
The t-distribution is used, as we have the standard deviation of the sample.
The 95% confidence interval for the population mean time wasted is between 7.12 hours and 8.88 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the standard deviation for the sample, which meas that the t-distribution should be used to solve this question.
The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So
df = 81 - 1 = 80
95% confidence interval
Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 80 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of [tex]1 - \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.975[/tex]. So we have T = 1.99
The margin of error is:
[tex]M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 1.99\frac{4}{\sqrt{81}} = 0.88[/tex]
In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.
The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 8 - 0.88 = 7.12 hours.
The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 8 + 0.88 = 8.88 hours.
The 95% confidence interval for the population mean time wasted is between 7.12 hours and 8.88 hours.

8a=1080 8a/8=1080/8
ayu=135
l=7a l=7×135
l=945 so:-135+945=1080
Lucy sold 945 iPads and Ayu sold 135 iPads
What is an equation?"It is a mathematical statement which consists of equal symbol between two algebraic expressions."
For given question,
Let Lucy and Ayu sold 'x' and 'y' iPads respectively.
Lucy and Ayu sold a total of 1,080 iPads.
So, we get an equation,
⇒ x + y = 1080 ...............(i)
Lucy sold 7 times as many as Ayu.
So we get the second equation as,
⇒ x = 7y ................(ii)
Substitute above value of x in equation (i)
⇒ x + y = 1080
⇒ 7y + y = 1080
⇒ 8y = 1080
⇒ y = 135
This means, Ayu sold 135 iPads
Substitute above value of y in equation (ii)
⇒ x = 7(135)
⇒ x = 7 × 135
⇒ x = 945
This means, Lucy sold 945 iPads.
Therefore, Lucy sold 945 iPads and Ayu sold 135 iPads

The length of stay at a specific emergency department in Phoenix, Arizona, in 2009 had a mean of 4.6 hours with a standard deviation of 2.9. Assume that the length of stay is normally distributed.
a. What is the probability of a length of stay greater than 10 hours?
b. What length of stay is exceeded by 25% of the visits?
c. From the normally distributed model, what is the probability of a length of stay less than 0 hours? Comment on the normally distributed assumption in this example.
Answer:
a) the probability of a length of stay greater than 10 hours is 0.03144
b) the length of stay is exceeded by 25% of the visits is 6.5 hrs
c)
P( X < 0 ) = 0.0559
The probability of length of stay less than 0 hours is 0.0559, length of stay cannot be less than 0. When the normal model is used, we assume that the LOF is approximately normally distributed.
The LOF is better modeled by the normal distribution near the mean and worse in the tails.
The probabilities in the left tail for the vales of X < 0 can be neglected.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that;
mean μ = 4.6
standard deviation σ = 2.9
let x represent length of stay;
a. What is the probability of a length of stay greater than 10 hours?
p( x > 10 ) = p( x-μ/σ > 10-4.6 / 2.9 )
= p( Z > 1.86)
= P( Z < - 1.86 )
FROM THE Z SCORE TABLE;( Z < - 1.86 ) = 0.03144
p( x > 10 ) = 0.03144
Therefore, the probability of a length of stay greater than 10 hours is 0.03144
b) What length of stay is exceeded by 25% of the visits?
p( X > x ) = 0.25
so
p( X < x ) = 0.75
p( x-μ/σ < x-4.6 / 2.9 ) = 75
p( Z < x-4.6 / 2.9 ) = 0.75 ----- 1
also, from the standard normal table; P( Z < 0.67 ) = 0.75 ------ 11
from equation 1 and 11
x-4.6 / 2.9 = 0.67
x-4.6 = 2.9 × 0.67
x - 4.6 = 1.943
x = 4.6 + 1.943
x = 6.543 ≈ 6.5
Therefore, the length of stay is exceeded by 25% of the visits is 6.5 hrs
c) From the normally distributed model, what is the probability of a length of stay less than 0 hours?
P( X < 0 ) = p( x-μ/σ < 0-4.6 / 2.9 )
= P( Z - 1.59)
from table;( Z - 1.59) = 0.0559
P( X < 0 ) = 0.0559
The probability of length of stay less than 0 hours is 0.0559, length of stay cannot be less than 0. When the normal model is used, we assume that the LOF is approximately normally distributed.
The LOF is better modeled by the normal distribution near the mean and worse in the tails.
The probabilities in the left tail for the vales of X < 0 can be neglected.

The solution is 3,27,680
The geometric progression is given by aₙ = a ( r )ⁿ⁻¹ , where r = 4 is the common ratio and after 8 hours a₈ = 3,27,680
What is Geometric Progression?A geometric progression is a sequence in which each term is derived by multiplying or dividing the preceding term by a fixed number called the common ratio.
The nth term of a GP is aₙ = arⁿ⁻¹
The general form of a GP is a, ar, ar2, ar3 and so on
Sum of first n terms of a GP is Sₙ = a(rⁿ-1) / ( r - 1 )
Given data ,
Let the first term of the geometric sequence be a₁ = 20
Let the second term a₂ = 80
So , the common ratio r = second term / first term
On simplifying the equation , we get
Common ratio r = 80/20
Common ratio r = 4
Now , the explicit formula for the GP is
aₙ = a ( r )ⁿ⁻¹ , where n is the number of hours
aₙ = 20 ( 4 )ⁿ⁻¹
So , after 8 hours ,
Substitute the value of n = 8 in the equation , we get
a₈ = 20 ( 4 )ⁿ⁻¹
a₈ = 20 ( 4 )⁷
a₈ = 3,27,680
Therefore , the value of a₈ = 3,27,680
Hence , the equation is aₙ = 20 ( 4 )ⁿ⁻¹

a normal distribution has a mean of 56 and a standard deviation of 8. Find the percentage of data values that are in the given interval. Use the curve to aid you.
Answer:
12) Between 40 and 64 = 0.815
13) Between 32 and 40 = 0.0235
14) Between 56 and 64 = 0.34
15) At most 56 = 0.515
16) At least 72 = 0.025
17) At most 64 = 0.855
Explanation:
To answer this, we will convert each of the values into their standardized form to make this easier.
The standardized score for any value is the value minus the mean then divided by the standard deviation.
z = (x - μ)/σ
x = Each value
μ = Mean = 56
σ = Standard deviation = 8
12) Between 40 and 64
For 40,
z = (x - μ)/σ = (40 - 56)/8 = (-16/8) = -2
For 64
z = (x - μ)/σ = (64 - 56)/8 = (8/8) = 1
So,
Between 40 and 64 = Between -2 and 1
From the curve, noting that the central point is the mean, with standard score of 0, the lines before it move in step of 1 standard deviation towards the negative side, that is, -1, -2, etc. And the lines before the central point move towards the positive side, that is, 1, 2, 3, etc.
So,
Between -2 and 1 = 0.135 + 0.34 + 0.34 = 0.815
13) Between 32 and 40
For 32,
z = (x - μ)/σ = (32 - 56)/8 = (-24/8) = -3
For 40,
z = (x - μ)/σ = (40 - 56)/8 = (-16/8) = -2
So,
Between 32 and 40 = Between -3 and -2 = 0.0235
14) Between 56 and 64
For 56,
z = (x - μ)/σ = (56 - 56)/8 = (0/8) = 0
For 64,
z = (x - μ)/σ = (64 - 56)/8 = (8/8) = 1
Between 56 and 64 = Between 0 and 1 = 0.34
15) At most 56
For 56,
z = (x - μ)/σ = (56 - 56)/8 = (0/8) = 0
At most 56 = At most 0 = 0.0015 + 0.0235 + 0.15 + 0.34 = 0.515
All the regions before z = 0)
16) At least 72
For 72,
z = (x - μ)/σ = (72 - 56)/8 = (16/8) = 2
At least 72 = At least 2 = 0.0235 + 0.0015 = 0.025
(All the regions from z = 2 to the end)
17) At most 64
For 64,
z = (x - μ)/σ = (64 - 56)/8 = (8/8) = 1
At most 64 = At most 1 = 0.0015 + 0.0235 + 0.15 + 0.34 + 0.34 = 0.855
(All the regions before z = 1)
Hope this Helps!!!
