After deducting grants based on need, the average cost to attend the University of Southern California (USC) is $27,175 (U.S. News & World Report, America’s Best Colleges, 2009 ed.). Assume the population standard deviation is $7,400. Suppose that a random sample of 60 USC students will be taken from this population.

a. Refer to Exhibit 2. What is the value of the standard deviation of the mean? (Note: keep two decimal places.)

b.What is the probability that the sample mean will be more than $27,175

c.What is the probability that the sample mean will be within $1,000 of population mean? (Note: keep two decimal places for the z value and four decimal places for the final probability value.)

d.What would be the probability in Part c if the sample size were increased to 100? (Note: keep two decimal places for the z value and four decimal places for the final probability value.)

Answers

Answer 1

The solutions are:

(a) Standard error is 957.04. (b) The probability is 50%. (c)The probability is 0.8491. (d) The probability is 0.8617.

To calculate the values, use the standard error formula for the sample mean:

(a)

The standard error is given by:

[tex]Standard\ error =\dfrac{ Population \ standard \ deviation}{\sqrt{sample\ size}}\\Standard\ error=\dfrac {\$ 7,400 }{ \sqrt60}\\Standard\ error =\ $957.04[/tex]

(b)

To find the probability that the sample mean will be more than $27,175, convert it into a z-score and then find the area under the normal distribution curve:

z = (sample mean - population mean) / standard error

z = ($27,175 - $27,175) / $957.04

z = 0

Since the z-score is 0, the area under the curve to the right of this point is 0.5 or 50%.

c. To find the probability that the sample mean will be within $1,000 of the population mean, we need to find the area between the range of $(27,175 - $1,000) and $(27,175 + $1,000).

Lower limit: $27,175 - $1,000 = $26,175

Upper limit: $27,175 + $1,000 = $28,175

Now, we calculate the z-scores for both limits:

lower = ($26,175 - $27,175) / $957.04 ≈ -1.045

upper = ($28,175 - $27,175) / $957.04 ≈ 1.045

Using a standard normal distribution table or calculator, the probability of a z-score being between -1.045 and 1.045 is approximately 0.8491.

(d)

If the sample size were increased to 100.

[tex]Standard error = \dfrac{ \$7,400}{ \sqrt{100}} \\Standard error = \$740[/tex]

Find the probability that the sample mean will be within $1,000 of the population mean, did in part c:

Lower limit: $27,175 - $1,000 = $26,175

Upper limit: $27,175 + $1,000 = $28,175

lower = ($26,175 - $27,175) / $740

lower ≈ -1.351

upper = ($28,175 - $27,175) / $740

upper ≈ 1.351

Using a standard normal distribution table or calculator, the probability of a z-score being between -1.351 and 1.351 is approximately 0.8617.

Hence,

Standard error is 957.04.The probability is 50%.The probability is 0.8491.The probability is 0.8617.

Four tour buses depart the terminal on the same day. The itinerary of the first bus takes 6 days, for the second bus it takes 8 days, for the third bus it takes 10 days, and the fourth bus takes 15 days. Assuming that another tour begins the same day that the bus returns to the terminal, how many days will it take until all four buses return to the terminal on the same day?

Answers

Using the least common factor, it is found that it will take 120 days until all four buses return to the terminal on the same day.

Considering their itineraries, the number of days it will take until all four buses return to the terminal on the same day is the lcm of 6, 8, 10 and 15.

To find their least common factor, we factor each number by prime numbers, hence:

6 - 8 - 10 - 15|2

3 - 4 - 5 - 15|2

3 - 2 - 5 - 15|2

3 - 1 - 5 - 15|3

1 - 1 - 5 - 5|5

1 - 1 - 1 - 1

Hence, lcm(6, 8, 10, 15) = 2³ x 3 x 5 = 8 x 15 = 120.

It will take 120 days until all four buses return to the terminal on the same day.

you do the same thing to both sides

so divde each side by -4

Answer:

I think it's 34°.

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle to the right of 3x+7 is the alternate interior angle to 2x+3, meaning that they are the same.

Now, that angle, 2x+3, and 3x+7, are on a line, which I'm assuming is a straight line with an angle of 180°. If it is, then (2x+3)+(3x+7)=180

Now you can solve for x.

2x+3+3x+7=180

5x+10=180

5x=170

x=34

Therefore, x=34°

X=4 and x=1

All real values of $x$ such that $x²-5x + 4=0$ will be x=4 and x=1.

What is the equation?

An equation is a statement that two expressions, which include variables and/or numbers, are equal. In essence, equations are questions, and efforts to systematically find solutions to these questions have been the driving forces behind the creation of mathematics.

It is given that, the quadratic equation is, x²-5x+4=0

Any equation of form ax²+bx+c=0  where x is variable and a, b, and c are any real numbers where a ≠ 0 is called a quadratic equation.

We have to find the value of x as,

x²-5x + 4=0

x² - x - 4x + 4=0

x(x-1) - 4(x - 1)=0

(x-4)(x-1)=0

X=4 and x=1

Thus, all real values of $x$ such that $x²-5x + 4=0$ will be x=4 and x=1.

The answer is letter c

Answer:

x=-5, y=-4

Step-by-step explanation:

to solve this system of equations, first multiply the second equation by 7 to get -21x-7y=133. this allows for the y terms in both equations to cancel once you add the two equations together.

adding these together, the y term cancels and you are left with -26x=130. so dividing both sides by -26 will get x=-5. then plug this x value back into either original equation (i chose -3x-y=19) so solve for y.

-3(-5)-y=19 so -y=4 so y=4

so the answer to the system of equations is x=-5 and y=-4

b. Isosceles
c. Equilateral
d. Right
e. none of these

Answers

Using distance between two points to find the lengths of the edges of the triangle, the correct option is:

b. Isosceles

The distance between two points, [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex] and [tex](x_2,y_2)[/tex], is given by:

[tex]d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}[/tex]

Vertex D is translated 4 units to the right is (9,8).

The lengths of the edges are:

[tex]DN = \sqrt{(9 - (-3))^2 + (8 - 10)^2} = \sqrt{12^2 + 2^2} = \sqrt{148}[/tex]

[tex]DO = \sqrt{(9 - (-3))^2 + (8 - 6)^2} = \sqrt{12^2 + 2^2} = \sqrt{148}[/tex]

[tex]NO = \sqrt{(-3 - (-3))^2 + (10 - 6)^2} = \sqrt{0^2 + 4^2} = 4[/tex]

Two edges of the same length, hence, it is an isosceles triangle, given by option b.

Step-by-step explanation:

I don't really know what demonstrating with rigid motion means, never heard that before. But a method for demonstrating it could be drawing circumferences of radius:

1) R1 = d(O,S)

2) R2 = d(O,J)

3) R3 = d(O,M)

With O being the origin of the reference system.

*Note: d(A,B) means distance between point A and point B

After you've done that you can show that the points S and P are on the same circumference, J and W are on the same circumference (different from the one of S and P), M and D are on the same circumference.

After you've done that you calculate the angle between the points on the same circumference and demonstrating that they are all the same.

Now we can substitute like usual

[tex] \frac{78}{fh} = \frac{117}{54} = \frac{ce}{5x + 1} [/tex]

Now we simplify the fraction in the middle

the middles fraction will =13/6

Therefore:

[tex] \frac{78}{fh} = \frac{13}{6} [/tex]

so 13fh=468

Therefore: fh=36

Now we can use the Pythagorean theorem

so

[tex]gf = \sqrt{ {54}^{2} - {36}^{2} } [/tex]

so gf=18√5

given parallelogram EFGH, where EF = 5x + 18, HE = 3x + 4 and the perimeter is 60, which value of GH

Answers

Given the perimeter of the parallelogram in the image below is 60, the value of GH will be: 23.

Recall:

Perimeter of a parallelogram = 2(a + b), where a is the side length and b is the base length.Opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal.

Given the parallelogram as shown in the diagram below, where:

base (b) = EF = 5x + 18

side (a) = HE = 3x + 4

Perimeter = 60

Plug in the values into the formula:

60 = 2[(3x + 4) + (5x + 18)]

60 = 2[3x + 4 + 5x + 18]

60 = 2[8x + 22]

60 = 16x + 44

60 - 44 = 16x

16 = 16x

1 = x

x = 1

GH = EF = 5x + 18 (equal opposite sides of parallelogram)

GH = 5x + 18

Plug in the value of x

GH = 5(1) + 18

GH = 23
