A new car battery is sold with a two-year warranty whereby the owner gets the battery replaced free of cost if it breaks down during the warranty period. Suppose an auto store makes a net profit of $20 on batteries that stay trouble-free during the warranty period; it makes a net loss of $10 on batteries that break down. The life of batteries is known to be normally distributed with a mean and a standard deviation of 40 and 16 months, respectively.

Required:
a. What is the probability that a battery will break down during the warranty period?
b. What is the expected profit of the auto store on a battery?
c. What is the expected monthly profit on batteries if the auto store sells an average of 500 batteries a month?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) 0.1587 = 15.87% probability that a battery will break down during the warranty period.

b) The expected profit of the auto store on a battery is of $15.239.

c) The expected monthly profit on batteries if the auto store sells an average of 500 batteries a month is of $7,619.50.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

The life of batteries is known to be normally distributed with a mean and a standard deviation of 40 and 16 months, respectively.

This means that [tex]\mu = 40, \sigma = 16[/tex]

a. What is the probability that a battery will break down during the warranty period?

Two year warranty, that is, 24 months. This probability is the pvalue of Z when X = 24. So

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{24 - 40}{16}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.1587.

0.1587 = 15.87% probability that a battery will break down during the warranty period.

b. What is the expected profit of the auto store on a battery?

1 - 0.1587 = 0.8413 probability of a profit of $20.

0.1587 probability of a loss of $10. So

[tex]E = 0.8413*20 - 0.1587*10 = 15.239[/tex]

The expected profit of the auto store on a battery is of $15.239.

c. What is the expected monthly profit on batteries if the auto store sells an average of 500 batteries a month?

Multiplying the average for a battery by 500. So

15.239*500 = $7,619.50

The expected monthly profit on batteries if the auto store sells an average of 500 batteries a month is of $7,619.50.

Compute the probability of each of the following events. Event : The sum is greater than . Event : The sum is not divisible by .

Answers

Complete question :

Compute the probability of each of the following events.

Event : The sum is greater than 6

Event : The sum is not divisible by 2

Answer:

7/12 ; 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Sample space :

2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7

3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8

4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9

5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10

6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11

7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12

Probability that sum is greater than 6:

Number of outcomes greater Than 6 = required outcomes = (7,7,7,7,7,7,8,8,8,8,8,9,9,9,9,10,10,10,11,11,12) = 21

Total sample space = total possible outcomes = 36

Probability = required outcome / Total possible outcomes

P(sum is greater Than 6) = 21 / 36

2.)

Obtaining an even number :

Sum not divisible by 2 = required outcomes = (3, 5, 7, 3, 5, 7, 5, 7, 9, 5, 7, 9, 7, 9, 11, 7, 9, 11) = 18

Total sample space = total possible outcomes = 36

P(sum is not divisible by 2) = 18 / 36 = 1 / 2

Weather affects flights across the nation, causing delays, cancellations, and general disruption to the NAS. You have gathered a random sample of departures delayed due to weather from your airport (KXYZ) for the month of April through July. You know that across America, weather delayed an average of 59 flights per day (σ =34.83) during that time period. You want to know if weather delays on flights from your airport differ significantly from those across the nation. Your significance level is set at 0.05. Analyze the data below using the correct t-test and be sure to check assumptions of the data.

Answer the following questions:

a. What type of t test should be used to address this research question, and why?
b. What is the null hypothesis?
c. What is the alternative hypothesis?
d. What is the mean and standard deviation for amount of the population?
e. What is the mean and standard deviation for the sample?
f. What are the degrees of freedom? How do you compute it?
g. What is the effect size (Cohen’s d) if applicable?
h. What is the test value?
i. What is the t statistic?

Answers

Answer:

a.) one sample t test

b.) H0 : μ = 59.3

c.) H1 : μ > 59.3

d.) μ = 59.3 ; σ = 39.84

e.) xbar = 79.4 ; s = 61.36

Test statistic = 3.16

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the sample data:

49.00 49.00 49.00 49.00 49.00 63.00 63.00 63.00 63.00 63.00 199.00 199.00 199.00 199.00 199.00 38.00 38.00 38.00 38.00 38.00 48.00 48.00 48.00 48.00 48.00 49.00 63.00 199.00 38.00 48.00

Sample size, n = 30

Using calculator :

xbar from the data above = 79.4

Standard deviation = 61.359

H0 : μ = 59.3

H1 : μ > 59.3

Test statistic :

(Xbar - μ) ÷ (σ/sqrt(n)

σ = 34.83

(79.4 - 59.3) ÷ (34.83/sqrt(30))

20.1 ÷ 6.359

Test statistic = 3.16

In certain parts of the world tuberculosis (a very treatable and curable illness) is present in 25% of the people. If a simple chest X-ray can be used as a diagnostic tool with an accuracy of 99% detection of TB if it is present. Only in 0.5% of the cases, normal people get a positive diagnosis. 2 If a person is selected at random and the diagnosis is positive, what is the probability that the person is actually infected.

Answers

Answer:

0.9851 = 98.51% probability that the person is actually infected.

Step-by-step explanation:

Conditional Probability

We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is

[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}[/tex]

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.

[tex]P(A \cap B)[/tex] is the probability of both A and B happening.

P(A) is the probability of A happening.

In this question:

Event A: Positive test

Event B: Infected

Probability of a positive test:

99% of 25%(People have the disease).

0.5% of 100 - 25 = 75%(People do not have the disease). So

[tex]P(A) = 0.99*0.25 + 0.005*0.75 = 0.25125[/tex]

Probability of a positive test and being infected:

99% of 25%, so:

[tex]P(A \cap B) = 0.99*0.25 = 0.2475[/tex]

What is the probability that the person is actually infected?

[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.2475}{0.25125} = 0.9851[/tex]

0.9851 = 98.51% probability that the person is actually infected.

The area of a rectangle is 48ft2. The length is 3 times the width. Which of the following equations can be used to solve for the width?

Answers

Answer:

Width of rectangle = 4 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Area of rectangle = 48 ft²

Length of rectangle = 3[Width of rectangle]

Find:

Width of rectangle

Computation:

Assume;

Width of rectangle = a

So,

Length of rectangle = 3[Width of rectangle]

Length of rectangle = 3a

Area of rectangle = l x b

48 = 3a x a

3a² = 48

a² = 16

a = 4

Width of rectangle = 4 ft

Length of rectangle = 3[Width of rectangle]

Length of rectangle = 3[4]

Length of rectangle = 12 ft

A square has a diagonal measuring 19 centimeters in length.which of the following is closest to the length of each side of the square?

Answers

Answer:

13cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of each side be x;

Using the pythagoras theorem

l² = x² + x²

l is the length of the diagonal

l² = 2x²

19² = 2x²

361 = 2x²

x² = 361/2

x² = 180.5

x =√180.5

x = 13

hence the length of each side of the square is closest to 13cm
