Wal-Mart conducted a study to check the accuracy of checkout scanners at its stores. At each of the 60 randomly selected Wal-Mart stores, 100 random items were scanned. The researchers found that 52 of the 60 stores had more than 2 items that were priced inaccurately (the national standards allow a maximum of 2 items out of 100 items priced accurately by the scanners). a) Construct a 95% confidence interval for proportion of Wal-Mart stores that have more than 2 items priced inaccurately per 100 items scanned and give a practical interpretation of this interval. (3 Points) b) Wal-Mart claims that 99% of its stores comply with the national standard on accuracy of price scanners. Comment on the believability of Wal-Mart’s claim based on your results in part (a). (1 Point) c) Determine the number of Wal-Mart stores that must be sampled in order to estimate the true proportion to within 0.05 with 90% confidence. (3 Points)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a

The 95% confidence interval is

   [tex] 0.7811 <  p <  0.9529 [/tex]

Generally the interval above can interpreted as

    There is 95% confidence that the true proportion of Wal-Mart stores that have more than 2 items priced inaccurately per 100 items scanned lie within the interval  

b

  Generally  99% is outside the interval obtained in a  above then the claim of Wal-mart is not believable  

c

 [tex] n =  125  \  stores [/tex]  

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The sample size is  n =  60  

    The number of stores that had more than 2 items price incorrectly is  k =  52  

   

Generally the sample proportion is mathematically represented as  

             [tex]\^ p = \frac{ k }{ n }[/tex]

=>          [tex]\^ p = \frac{ 52 }{ 60 }[/tex]

=>          [tex]\^ p = 0.867[/tex]

From the question we are told the confidence level is  95% , hence the level of significance is    

      [tex]\alpha = (100 - 95 ) \%[/tex]

=>   [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex]

Generally from the normal distribution table the critical value  of  [tex]\frac{\alpha }{2}[/tex] is  

   [tex]Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } =  1.96[/tex]

Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as  

     [tex]E =  Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * \sqrt{\frac{\^ p (1- \^ p)}{n} } [/tex]

=>   [tex]E =  1.96  * \sqrt{\frac{ 0.867  (1- 0.867)}{60} } [/tex]

=>   [tex]E =  0.0859  [/tex]

Generally 95% confidence interval is mathematically represented as  

      [tex]\^ p -E <  p <  \^ p +E[/tex]

=>    [tex] 0.867  - 0.0859  <  p <  0.867  +  0.0859 [/tex]

=>    [tex] 0.7811 <  p <  0.9529 [/tex]

Generally the interval above can interpreted as

    There is 95% confidence that the true proportion of Wal-Mart stores that have more than 2 items priced inaccurately per 100 items scanned lie within the interval  

Considering question b

Generally  99% is outside the interval obtained in a  above then the claim of Wal-mart is not believable  

   

Considering question c

From the question we are told that

    The margin of error is  E = 0.05

From the question we are told the confidence level is  95% , hence the level of significance is    

      [tex]\alpha = (100 - 95 ) \%[/tex]

=>   [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex]

Generally from the normal distribution table the critical value  of  [tex]\frac{\alpha }{2}[/tex] is  

   [tex]Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } =  1.645[/tex]

Generally the sample size is mathematically represented as  

    [tex]n = [\frac{Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} }}{E} ]^2 * \^ p (1 - \^ p ) [/tex]

=> [tex]n=  [\frac{1.645 }}{0.05} ]^2 * 0.867  (1 - 0.867 ) [/tex]

=>   [tex] n =  125  \  stores [/tex]

3415 base 7 ×(-432base 7)

Answers

Ignore the negative sign, since that only affects the sign of the final product

3415₇ × 432₇

You can compute the product by considering the digit expansion, by which I mean first expanding each number as sums of powers of 7:

3415₇ = 3000₇ + 400₇ + 10₇ + 5₇

(It's the same thing as writing, for example, the decimal 3415 as 3000 + 400 + 10 + 5, just in a different base.)

Similarly,

432₇ = 400₇ + 30₇ + 2₇

Then apply the distributive property:

= (3000₇ + 400₇ + 10₇ + 5₇) × (400₇ + 30₇ + 2₇)

= 3000₇ × (400₇ + 30₇ + 2₇)

… + 400₇ × (400₇ + 30₇ + 2₇)

… + 10₇ × (400₇ + 30₇ + 2₇)

… + 5₇ × (400₇ + 30₇ + 2₇)

= {12}00000₇ + {9}0000₇ + 6000₇

… + {16}0000₇ + {12}000₇ + {8}00₇

… + 4000₇ + 300₇ + 20₇

… + {20}00₇ + {15}0₇ + {10}₇

where I use the curly braces to indicate products (written in base 10) of digits that exceed 6. Anything in these braces needs to be properly converted to base 7. For example,

{12}₇ = 7 + 5 = 15₇

So you would have

= 1500000₇ + 120000₇ + 6000₇

… + 220000₇ + 15000₇ + 1100₇

… + 4000₇ + 300₇ + 20₇

… + 2600₇ + 210₇ + 13₇

Add everything up:

• In the 7⁰ place,

3₇

• In the 7¹ place,

1₇ + 1₇ + 2₇ = 4₇

• In the 7² place,

2₇ + 6₇ + 3₇ + 1₇ = {12}₇ = 15₇

• Carry the 1 (underlined). In the 7³ place,

2₇ + 4₇ + 1₇ + 5₇ + 6₇ + 1₇ = {19}₇ = 25₇

• Carry the 2. In the 7⁴ place,

1₇ + 2₇ + 2₇ + 2₇ = {7}₇ = 10₇

• Carry the 1. In the 7⁵ place,

2₇ + 1₇ + 5₇ + 1₇ = {9}₇ = 12₇

• Carry the 1. In the 7⁶ place,

1₇ + 1₇ = 2₇

So, we end up with

3415₇ × 432₇ = 22045543₇

and thus

3415₇ × (-432₇) = -22045543₇

On a very cold morning, it was -7°F. As the day went on, the temperature rose 3 degrees each hour. Which equation shows the temperature over time?
A.y=-3x-7
B.y=-3x+7
C.y=3x-7
D.y=3x+7

Answers

Answer:

The equation shows the temperature over time will be:

[tex]y = 3x - 7[/tex]

Hence, option (C) is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the slope-intercept form of the line equation is

[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]

where m is the rate of change or slope and b is the y-intercept

Let 'y' be the temperatureLet 'x' be the time in the hour

Given that one very cold morning, it was -7°F.

Thus, the y-intercept = b = -7

Given that as the day went on, the temperature rose 3 degrees each hour.

Thus, the rate of change = slope = m = 3

Thus, substituting m = 3 and b = -7 in the equation

[tex]y = mx+b[/tex]

[tex]y = 3x + (-7)[/tex]

[tex]y = 3x - 7[/tex]

Therefore, the equation shows the temperature over time will be:

[tex]y = 3x - 7[/tex]

Hence, option (C) is correct.

What is the max length of the base of the the rectangle he can build

Answers

Answer:

23 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the maximum length of the base of the triangle is as follows:

Area of triangle is = 4 × 6 ÷ 2

= 12 ft²

Now the maximum area of the rectangle is

= 150 - 12

= 138 ft²

L = ?

W = 6 ft

Area of rectangle is  = L × W

L × 6 = 138

L = 138 ÷ 6

= 23 ft

Find the values of a and b so that the linear system has the given solution.
Given Solution: (2, 1)
Equation 1: ax - by'= 4
Equation 2: bx - ay = 10

Answers

Answer:

The values are a=6, b=8

Step-by-step explanation:

System of Equations

We are given the system of equations:

ax - by = 4

bx - ay = 10

And it's known the solutions are: x=2, y=1.

Plugging in the solutions:

2a - b = 4      [1]

2b - a = 10      [2]

Now we have to solve the system above. Multiply [1] by 2:

4a - 2b = 8

Now we add with [2]:

3a = 18

a = 18/3 = 6

a = 6

From [2]:

2b - 6 = 10

2b = 16

b = 16/2 = 8

b = 8

The values are a=6, b=8

Store A

Step-by-step explanation:

Store A

0.5×5=2.5

The watch will be 50-2.5=47.5

Store B

60/100=0.6

0.6×20=12

The watch will be 60-12=48

So the watch price in store A is better

Answer:

You should buy from Store A because you're paying $0.50 less than if you were to buy from Store B.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, don't subtract if it's a percentage. You will want to multiply to get the amount you're removing from the original price.

Let's look at Store A. $50 and 5% discount. 50 * 0.05 = 2.5. Remove 2.5 from 50.

50 - 2.5 = 47.5

When you buy from Store A, you will pay $47.5

Let's look at Store B. $60 and 20% discount. 60 * 0.20 = 12. Remove 12 from 60.

60 - 12 = 48

When you buy from Store B, you will pay $48

Ultimately, Store A is the best option because you're paying less.
