Answer:

$4.74

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that the original cost of a lamp is $18.95 . The lamp is on sale for 75% off.

The cost of lamp after sale would be 25% (100-75) of $18.95.

$\text{The cost of lamp after sale}=\$18.95\times \frac{25}{100}$

$\text{The cost of lamp after sale}=\$18.95\times 0.25$

$\text{The cost of lamp after sale}=\$4.7375$

$\text{The cost of lamp after sale}\approx \$4.74$

Therefore, you will have to pay $4.74 for the lamp.

18.95x0.75=14.2125

18.95-14.2125=4.73

You will pay $4.73

The amount of syrup that people put on their pancakes is normally distributed with mean 63 mL and standard deviation 13 mL. Supp

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

(a) X ~ N( $\mu=63, \sigma^{2} = 13^{2}$ ).

$\bar X$ ~ N( $\mu=63,s^{2} = (\frac{13}{\sqrt{43} } )^{2}$ ).

(b) If a single randomly selected individual is observed, the probability that this person consumes is between 61.4 mL and 62.8 mL is 0.0398.

(c) For the group of 43 pancake eaters, the probability that the average amount of syrup is between 61.4 mL and 62.8 mL is 0.2512.

(d) Yes, for part (d), the assumption that the distribution is normally distributed necessary.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the amount of syrup that people put on their pancakes is normally distributed with mean 63 mL and a standard deviation of 13 mL.

Suppose that 43 randomly selected people are observed pouring syrup on their pancakes.

(a) Let X = amount of syrup that people put on their pancakes

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

Z = $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\mu$ = mean amount of syrup = 63 mL

$\sigma$ = standard deviation = 13 mL

So, the distribution of X ~ N( $\mu=63, \sigma^{2} = 13^{2}$ ).

Let $\bar X$ = sample mean amount of syrup that people put on their pancakes

The z-score probability distribution for the sample mean is given by;

Z = $\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\mu$ = mean amount of syrup = 63 mL

$\sigma$ = standard deviation = 13 mL

n = sample of people = 43

So, the distribution of $\bar X$ ~ N( $\mu=63,s^{2} = (\frac{13}{\sqrt{43} } )^{2}$ ).

(b) If a single randomly selected individual is observed, the probability that this person consumes is between 61.4 mL and 62.8 mL is given by = P(61.4 mL < X < 62.8 mL)

P(61.4 mL < X < 62.8 mL) = P(X < 62.8 mL) - P(X $\leq$ 61.4 mL)

P(X < 62.8 mL) = P( $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ < $\frac{62.8-63}{13}$ ) = P(Z < -0.02) = 1 - P(Z $\leq$ 0.02)

= 1 - 0.50798 = 0.49202

P(X $\leq$ 61.4 mL) = P( $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ $\leq$ $\frac{61.4-63}{13}$ ) = P(Z $\leq$ -0.12) = 1 - P(Z < 0.12)

= 1 - 0.54776 = 0.45224

Therefore, P(61.4 mL < X < 62.8 mL) = 0.49202 - 0.45224 = 0.0398.

(c) For the group of 43 pancake eaters, the probability that the average amount of syrup is between 61.4 mL and 62.8 mL is given by = P(61.4 mL < $\bar X$ < 62.8 mL)

P(61.4 mL < $\bar X$ < 62.8 mL) = P( $\bar X$ < 62.8 mL) - P( $\bar X$ $\leq$ 61.4 mL)

P( $\bar X$ < 62.8 mL) = P( $\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ < $\frac{62.8-63}{\frac{13}{\sqrt{43} } }$ ) = P(Z < -0.10) = 1 - P(Z $\leq$ 0.10)

= 1 - 0.53983 = 0.46017

P( $\bar X$ $\leq$ 61.4 mL) = P( $\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ $\leq$ $\frac{61.4-63}{\frac{13}{\sqrt{43} } }$ ) = P(Z $\leq$ -0.81) = 1 - P(Z < 0.81)
