Answer:

68% of buyers paid between $147,700 and $152,300.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that prices of a certain model of a new home are normally distributed with a mean of $150,000.

Use the 68-95-99.7 rule to find the percentage of buyers who paid between $147,700 and $152,300 if the standard deviation is $2300.

Let X = prices of a certain model of a new home

SO, X ~ Normal([tex]\mu=150,000 ,\sigma=2,300[/tex])

The z score probability distribution for normal distribution is given by;

                             Z  =  [tex]\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]  ~ N(0,1)

where, [tex]\mu[/tex] = population mean price = $150,000

            [tex]\sigma[/tex] = standard deviation = $2,300

Now, according to 68-95-99.7 rule;

Around 68% of the values in a normal distribution lies between [tex]\mu-\sigma[/tex] and [tex]\mu-\sigma[/tex].

Around 95% of the values occur between [tex]\mu-2\sigma[/tex] and [tex]\mu+2\sigma[/tex] .

Around 99.7% of the values occur between [tex]\mu-3\sigma[/tex] and [tex]\mu+3\sigma[/tex].

So, firstly we will find the z scores for both the values given;

         Z  =  [tex]\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]  =  [tex]\frac{147,700-150,000}{2,300}[/tex]  = -1

         Z  =  [tex]\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]  =  [tex]\frac{152,300-150,000}{2,300}[/tex]  = 1

This indicates that we are in the category of between [tex]\mu-\sigma[/tex] and [tex]\mu-\sigma[/tex].

SO, this represents that percentage of buyers who paid between $147,700 and $152,300 is 68%.

Approximately 95% of the buyers paid between $147,700 and $152,300.

To find the percentage of buyers who paid between $147,700 and $152,300, we can use the 68-95-99.7 rule for normal distributions. According to this rule, approximately 68% of the data falls within one standard deviation of the mean, 95% falls within two standard deviations, and 99.7% falls within three standard deviations.

The mean of the prices is $150,000 and the standard deviation is $2,300. The difference between $147,700 and $152,300 is $4,600, which is 2 standard deviations away from the mean. Therefore, we can expect approximately 95% of buyers to have paid between $147,700 and $152,300.

So, approximately 95% of the buyers paid between $147,700 and $152,300.

Answer:

Null Hypothesis, [tex]H_0[/tex] : [tex]\mu \leq[/tex] 250 W  

Alternate Hypothesis, [tex]H_A[/tex] : [tex]\mu[/tex] > 250 W    

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that an appliance manufacturer claims to have developed a compact microwave oven that consumes a mean of no more than 250 W.

They take a sample of 20 microwave ovens and find that they consume a mean of 257.3 W.

Let [tex]\mu[/tex] = mean power consumption of microwave ovens.

So, Null Hypothesis, [tex]H_0[/tex] : [tex]\mu \leq[/tex] 250 W  

Alternate Hypothesis, [tex]H_A[/tex] : [tex]\mu[/tex] > 250 W    

Here, null hypothesis states that the mean power consumption of microwave ovens is no more than 250 W.

On the other hand, alternate hypothesis sates that the mean power consumption of microwave ovens is more than 250 W.

The test statistics that would be used here is One-sample z test statistics as we know about the population standard deviation;

                       T.S. =  [tex]\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex]  ~ N(0,1)

Hence, this would be the appropriate hypotheses to determine if the manufacturer's claim appears reasonable.

Answer:

The mean is the average of the numbers. It is easy to calculate: add up all the numbers, then divide by how many numbers there are. In other words it is the sum divided by the count.

The median is also the number that is halfway into the set. To find the median, the data should be arranged in order from least to greatest. If there is an even number of items in the data set, then the median is found by taking the mean (average) of the two middlemost numbers.

The range of a set of data is the difference between the highest and lowest values in the set. To find the range, first order the data from least to greatest. Then subtract the smallest value from the largest value in the set.

Answer:

1) b1=5.831

2) b0=12.510

3) y(34)=210.764

4) y(0)=12.510

5) y=12.510+5.831x

6) R^2=0.85

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the linear regression model [tex]y=b_0+b_1 x[/tex].

We start by calculating the all the parameters needed to define the model:

- Mean of x:

[tex]\bar x=\dfrac{1}{5}\sum_{i=1}^{5}(2+3+4+5+7)=\dfrac{21}{5}=4.2[/tex]

- Uncorrected standard deviation of x:

[tex]s_x=\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^{5}(x_i-\bar x)^2}\\\\\\s_x=\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{5}\cdot [(2-4.2)^2+(3-4.2)^2+(4-4.2)^2+(5-4.2)^2+(7-4.2)^2]}\\\\\\ s_x=\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{5}\cdot [(4.84)+(1.44)+(0.04)+(0.64)+(7.84)]}\\\\\\ s_x=\sqrt{\dfrac{14.8}{5}}=\sqrt{2.96}\\\\\\s_x=1.72[/tex]

- Mean of y:

[tex]\bar y=\dfrac{1}{5}\sum_{i=1}^{5}(25+33+34+45+48)=\dfrac{185}{5}=37[/tex]

- Standard deviation of y:

[tex]s_y=\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^{5}(y_i-\bar y)^2}\\\\\\s_y=\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{5}\cdot [(25-37)^2+(33-37)^2+(34-37)^2+(45-37)^2+(48-37)^2]}\\\\\\ s_y=\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{5}\cdot [(144)+(16)+(9)+(64)+(121)]}\\\\\\ s_y=\sqrt{\dfrac{354}{5}}=\sqrt{70.8}\\\\\\s_y=8.414[/tex]

- Sample correlation coefficient

[tex]r_{xy}=\sum_{i=1}^5\dfrac{(x_i-\bar x)(y_i-\bar y)}{(n-1)s_xs_y}\\\\\\r_{xy}=\dfrac{(2-4.2)(25-37)+(3-4.2)(33-37)+...+(7-4.2)(48-37)}{4\cdot 1.72\cdot 8.414}\\\\\\r_{xy}=\dfrac{69}{57.888}=1.192[/tex]

Step 1

The slope b1 can be calculated as:

[tex]b_1=r_{xy}\dfrac{s_y}{s_x}=1.192\cdot\dfrac{8.414}{1.72}=5.831[/tex]

Step 2

The y-intercept b0 can now be calculated as:

[tex]b_o=\bar y-b_1\bar x=37-5.831\cdot 4.2=37-24.490=12.510[/tex]

Step 3

The estimated value of y when x=34 is:

[tex]y(34)=12.510+5.831\cdot(34)=12.510+198.254=210.764[/tex]

Step 4

At x=0, the estimated y takes the value of the y-intercept, by definition.

[tex]y(0)=12.510+5.831\cdot(0)=12.510+0=12.510[/tex]

Step 5

The linear model becomes

[tex]y=12.510+5.831x[/tex]

Step 6

The coefficient of determination can be calculated as:

[tex]R^2=1-\dfrac{SS_{res}}{SS_{tot}}=1-\dfrac{\sum(y_i-f_i)}{ns_y^2}\\\\\\\sum(y_i-f_i)=(25-24.17)^2+(33-30)^2+(34-35.83)^2+(45-41.67)^2+(48-53.33)^2\\\\\sum(y_i-f_i)=0.69+ 8.98+ 3.36+ 11.12+ 28.38=52.53\\\\\\ ns_y^2=5\cdot 8.414^2=353.98\\\\\\R^2=1-\dfrac{52.53}{353.98}=1-0.15=0.85[/tex]

The correct student is Dean.

To determine which student is correct, let's analyze the information given in the box plots for both classes:

For Mr. Yan's class, the box plot shows:

- Minimum value (lower whisker): 1

- Maximum value (upper whisker): 9

- Lower quartile (Q1): 2

- Median (Q2): 4

- Upper quartile (Q3): 7

- Interquartile range (IQR): Q3 - Q1 = 7 - 2 = 5

For Mrs. Gonzalez's class, the box plot shows:

- Minimum value (lower whisker): 1

- Maximum value (upper whisker): 9

- Lower quartile (Q1): 4

- Median (Q2): 5.5

- Upper quartile (Q3): 7

- Interquartile range (IQR): Q3 - Q1 = 7 - 4 = 3

Now let's evaluate each student's statement:

- Nadine: The medians are the same because both sets of data have the same minimum and maximum values. This statement is incorrect because the medians are different. Mr. Yan's class has a median of 4, while Mrs. Gonzalez's class has a median of 5.5.

- Kendrick: Mr. Yana's class has a greater median because the box in that box plot is larger. This statement is incorrect because the size of the box does not determine the median. The median is the value that divides the data into two equal halves, and it is indicated by the line inside the box.

- Tahara: Mrs. Gonzalez's class has a greater median because the line inside that box is located at a greater value. This statement is correct. The median for Mrs. Gonzalez's class is 5.5, which is greater than the median for Mr. Yan's class, which is 4.

- Dean: The medians are both 7 because the upper quartile for the sets of data is 7. This statement is incorrect because the median is not determined by the upper quartile but by the value that separates the higher half from the lower half of a data sample.

Therefore, the only correct statement is made by Tahara, who correctly identifies that Mrs. Gonzalez's class has a greater median because the line inside the box is located at a greater value (5.5) compared to Mr. Yan's class (4).

-2x-8y = -32

Add 2x to each side

-2x+2x-8y =2x -32

Answer:

The sample consisting of 64 data values would give a greater precision.

Step-by-step explanation:

The width of a (1 - α)% confidence interval for population mean μ is:

[tex]\text{Width}=2\cdot z_{\alpha/2}\cdot \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

So, from the formula of the width of the interval it is clear that the width is inversely proportion to the sample size (n).

That is, as the sample size increases the interval width would decrease and as the sample size decreases the interval width would increase.

Here it is provided that two different samples will be taken from the same population of test scores and a 95% confidence interval will be constructed for each sample to estimate the population mean.

The two sample sizes are:

n₁ = 25

n₂ = 64

The 95% confidence interval constructed using the sample of 64 values will have a smaller width than the the one constructed using the sample of 25 values.

Width for n = 25:

[tex]\text{Width}=2\cdot z_{\alpha/2}\cdot \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{25}}=\frac{1}{5}\cdot [2\cdot z_{\alpha/2}\cdot \sigma][/tex]        

Width for n = 64:

[tex]\text{Width}=2\cdot z_{\alpha/2}\cdot \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{64}}=\frac{1}{8}\cdot [2\cdot z_{\alpha/2}\cdot \sigma][/tex]

Thus, the sample consisting of 64 data values would give a greater precision

Answer:

Confidence Interval with sample size 25 = Broader, less precision; Confidence Interval with sample size 64 = Narrower, more precision

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence Interval is the range around sample statistic, which contains the actual population parameter. Confidence level is the percentage probability, with which the population parameter is expected to be in confidence interval.

When sample size increases : the margin of error, ie sampling error between population parameter & sample statistic decreases. The reduced margin of error increases the level of confidence & precision in confidence interval range. So, the confidence interval range becomes narrower.  

Hence, confidence interval becomes narrower & has more precision, when sample size increases from sample number = 25 to sample number = 64.

Given:

Point A is (-7, 5) and point M is at (0, 4).

and, Point M is the midpoint of point A and Point B.

A (x, y) = [tex](m_1 x_2 + m_2 x_1) / ( m_1 + m_2)[/tex]

So, x= [tex](m_1 x_2 + m_2 x_1) / ( m_1 + m_2)[/tex]

0 = ( 1 x [tex]x_2[/tex] + 1 x (-7)) / (1 + 1)

Quiana has 8 text messages from Pierre.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved using a rule of three.

Quiana has 7 times more text messages from Yolanda than from Pierre.

This means that for each message that she receives from Pierre, she receives 7 from Yolanda.

She received 56 from Yolanda.

So

7 messages from Yolanda - 1 messages from Pierre

56 messages from Yolanda - x messages from Pierre

[tex]7x = 56[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{56}{7}[/tex]

[tex]x = 8[/tex]

Quiana has 8 text messages from Pierre.

Quiana has 8 text messages from Pierre.

To find how many text messages Quiana has from Pierre, represented as p, given that Quiana has 7 times more text messages from Yolanda than from Pierre, and she received 56 text messages from Yolanda, we can set up the following equation:

p × 7 = 56

To solve for p, we divide both sides of the equation by 7:

p = 56 ÷ 7

p = 8

So, Quiana has 8 text messages from Pierre.

283,294,720 + 997,683 = 284,292,403

As of Dec. 31, 2013, we have to:

320,000,000 x 10% x 2 = $ 16,000,000 cash payment

interest expense:

284,292,403 carrying value x 6% market rate = 17,057,544

to calculate depreciation:

17,057,544 - 16,000,000 = $ 1,057,544 discount amortization

Now for the new carrying value of bonds, we do the following:

284,292,403 + 1,057,544 = 285,349,947

Answering the questions:

a. The bonds would be listed at their current carrying value, $ 285,349,947

b. Interest Expense : 16,997,683 + 17,057,544 = $ 34,055,227

c. The $ 283,294,720 cash received from the sale of bonds would be added to cash flows under financing activities. The $ 32,000,000 in interest payments would be subtracted from cash flows under operating activities.

The net amount of liability, amount in income statement, and cash outflows related to Myriad Solutions, Inc.’s bonds are all calculated based on semiannual interest payments and the amortization of the discount over the life of the bonds. The carrying value of the bonds increases each year, and the interest expense and cash payments are reported in the financial statements.

To determine the net amount of the liability Myriad Solutions, Inc. would report in its balance sheet at December 31, 2018, we need to calculate the carrying value of the bonds five years after issuance. Assuming the bonds were issued at a discount because the market rate of 12% was higher than the coupon rate of 10%, the discount is being amortized over the life of the bonds. This means the liability in the balance sheet is increasing every year until it reaches the face value at maturity.

The amount related to the bonds that Myriad would report in its income statement for the year ended December 31, 2018, includes the interest expense. Since the interest is paid semiannually, there would be two interest payments in 2018. Each payment would be a portion of the annual 10% coupon rate on the face value of $320 million, adjusted for any amortization of the bond discount over the reporting period.

For the statement of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2018, Myriad would report the actual cash paid out as interest payments on the bonds. This would total the semiannual payments made on June 30 and December 31, which would be 10% of the $320 million face value divided by two, reflecting that interest is paid semiannually.

Answer:

(i) The student who weighed the rock 20 times.

Step-by-step explanation:

The margin of error of a confidence interval is:

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

In which z is related to the confidence level, [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

From the equation above, the larger the size of the sample, the lower the margin is, that is, the narrower the interval is.

In this question:

A student weighed the rock 20 times and other the 5. From above, the one who weighed the rock 20 times will have the more precise interval.

So the correct answer is:

(i) The student who weighed the rock 20 times.
