A door delivery florist wishes to estimate the proportion of people in his city that will purchase his flowers. Suppose the true proportion is 0.07. If 289 are sampled, what is the probability that the sample proportion will differ from the population proportion by more than 0.03

Answers

Answer 1

The probability that the sample proportion will differ from the population proportion by more than 0.03 is 0.99968.

Given the true proportion is 0.07, sample size 289.

We have to calculate the probability that the sample proportion will differ from the population proportion by more than 0.03.

Probability is the likeliness or chance of happening an event among all the events possible. The probability lies between 0 and 1.

Probability=number of items/ total items.

True proportion=0.07

n=289

sample population mean=0.07

Sample proportion standard error=[tex]\sqrt{pq/n}[/tex]

=[tex]\sqrt{0.07*0.93)/289}[/tex]

=[tex]\sqrt{0.0651/289}[/tex]

=[tex]\sqrt{0.00022}[/tex]

=0.015

Probability that the sample proportion will differ from the population proportion by more than 0.03=P(I P-p I>0.03)

=P( I Z I>0.03*0.015)

=P ( I z I >0.0045)

=0.99968.

Hence the probability that the sample proportion will differ from the population proportion by more than 0.03 is 0.99968.

The price of flowers in September exists $1.25.

Total money released in October = $420.

The class gained more money in September and they gained $30 better than in October.

How to estimate the price of the flowers in September or October?

Part A

Let the cost of flowers in September be x, then

(100 + 20)/100 [tex]*[/tex] x = $1.50

120/100 [tex]*[/tex] x = $1.50

1.2x = $1.50

x = $1.50/1.2 = $1.25

The price of flowers in September exists $1.25

Part B

Total money released in September = $1.25 [tex]*[/tex] 900 = $1,125

40% earned = 0.4 [tex]*[/tex] $1,125 = $450

Total money released in October = $1.50 [tex]*[/tex] 700 = $1,050

A painting measures b meters by 4 meters. a frame shop charges $10 per meter for a wooden frame. how much would it cost to buy a frame for the panting?

Answers

$ (20b + 80) is the cost to buy a frame for the panting given that measures b meters by 4 meters and charges $10 per meter for a wooden frame. This can be obtained by finding the perimeter of the painting and multiplying with the cost of wood per meter.

What is the cost of buying a frame for the painting?

Given that,

length of the painting (l) = b meters

width of the painting (b) = 4 meters

Perimeter of the painting = 2(l+b)

                                          = 2(b+4)

                                          = 2b + 8

Cost of the frame = (2b + 8)× $10 per meter

                             = $ (20b + 80)

Hence $ (20b + 80) is the cost to buy a frame for the panting given that measures b meters by 4 meters and charges $10 per meter for a wooden frame.

The area of the square LMNP is 50 square units

How to determine the area of the square?

The circumference of the circle is given as:

C = 10π

Circumference is calculated as:

C = 2πr

So, we have:

2πr = 10π

Divide by 2π

r = 5

This represents the length OM

The length PM is calculated as:

PM = 2 * OM

This gives

PM = 2 * 5

PM = 10

The length (PN) of the square is then calculated as:

PM = PN√2

This gives

10 = PN√2

Square both sides

100 = PN^2 * 2

Divide by 2

50 = PN^2

Rewrite as:

PN^2 = 50

Hence, the area of the square LMNP is 50 square units

For the 0% acid, the initial and final mass are the same:

initial mass = final mass = 10.3g

For the 33% acid we have:

initial mass = 10.1gfinal mass =  10g

For the 66% acid:

Reflection of a function over the x-axis is accomplished by changing the sign of every function value: -f(x).

Pete is ahead of nick by 11 meters. Oliver is ahead of manny by 10 meters. Oliver is ahead of pete by 5 meters. How far is the runner in first place ahead of the runner

Answers

Answer:

The runner in first place is 16 meters ahead of the runner in last place

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 4 boys racing - Pete, Nick, Manny, and Oliver.

Pete is 11 meters ahead of Nick, Oliver is 10 meters ahead of Manny, and Oliver is ahead of Pete by 5 meters.

This means Oliver is ahead of the other three racers, putting him in first place, and Manny is between Nick and Pete.

So in order to find out the distance between the racer in first place (Oliver) and the racer in last place (Nick), add the distance between Oliver and Pete and the distance between Pete and Nick.

Add the distances: 5 + 11

Therefore, the runner in first place (Oliver) is 16 meters ahead of the runner in last place (Nick).

One day on Sesame Street, a friendly rabbit brought big bird a tube of toothpaste that contained one gallon of toothpaste. If a regular toothpaste cost $1.39 for 2.7 ounce tube what is the value of the sesame steeet tube to the nearest cent?

Answers

The sesame street tube bought by the blue bird costs $177.92 which contained one gallon of toothpaste.

Given,

cost of regular toothpaste = $1.39 for 2.7 ounce tube

But the bird took a tube of toothpaste that contained one gallon of toothpaste.

One gallon = 128 ounces

∴the total price at which the toothpaste is brought = price of normal toothpaste × one gallon(128 ounces)

= 1.39 × 128

=$177.92

Here we can observe that a gallon contains 128 ounces. so we need to multiply to the initial cost of the toothpaste to get the final amount of the toothpaste bought by the bird.

Hence the price at which the bird bought the toothpaste is $177.92
