DHL Shipping claims that it ships 95% of its orders within three working days. You select a simple random sample of 100 orders and discover that only 91 of them shipped on time.

a) If DHL really does ship 95% on time, what is the probability that the company shipped 91 or fewer out of 100 orders were shipped on time?

b) A marketer from UPS jumps on the research stating, "They claim 95% on time, but by their own research they only ship 91% on time!" Provide a rebuttal to the UPS marketer in non-statistical terms.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) 5.4%  

Step-by-step explanation:

a) We will use the binomial distribution, with n = 100 and p(success) = 0.95

We need to calculate

P(X=x) = [tex]\binom{n}{x}p^{x}q^{n-x}[/tex]

P(X ≤91) =  [tex]\sum_{k=1}^{91}\binom{100}{k}0.95^{k}0.5^{n-k}[/tex]

As we know that binomial distribution can be approximated to normal distribution if np≥5 and nq≥5 as in this case.

Therefore, P(x,n,p) →N[tex](\mu, \sigma )[/tex]

[tex]\mu[/tex] = np = 95

[tex]\sigma[/tex] = √npq = 2.`79

P(X≤91) ≅ P(X≤91.5)  = P( Z≤[tex]\frac{91.5-95}{2.179}[/tex]

                                 =  P( Z≤ -1.6)

                                 = 0.054

Probability = 5.4%

b) If the probability was less than 5% then we must say that the DHL Shipping company don not ships 95% of its orders on time but as we can see that the probability is more that 5% that is 5.4%. So, we cannot say that the company does not ships the orders on time. But we cannot say with confirmation, we need more samples so as to judge accordingly.

Marcus is correct. If any integer is raised to any integer exponent, the base is multiplied times the exponent. The product of two integers is always a rational number.

Answers

Final answer:

Marcus is incorrect, not because the result may not be rational, but because of his reasoning. An integer raised to a negative integer exponent leads to the base being inverted and raised to the positive exponent, but the result is still a rational number.

Explanation:

Marcus is incorrect in stating that any time an integer is raised to an integer exponent, the result is a rational number. To understand why, we should look at the case when an integer is raised to a negative integer exponent. For example, 3-2 is equal to 1 / (32) which simplifies to 1 / 9. A negative exponent inverts the base number and raises it to the positive of that exponent, which means the result is still a rational number, as it's a quotient of two integers. Therefore, the correct statement is that the result of an integer raised to any integer exponent is indeed a rational number, as the quotient of two integers (for negative exponents) is also a rational number.

In my fish tank, the ratio of red fish to blue fish is 1:5. There are 15 blue fish. How many red fish are there?

Answers

The ratio of red fish to blue fish is 1:5

That means that for every one red fish you have, there are 5 blue fish. In this scenario, there are 15 blue fish.

What can you multiply 5 by to equal 15?
The answer is 3. Multiply each side of the ratio by 3

1x3=3 and 5x3=15

The new ratio is 3:15, meaning if there are 15 blue fish, there are 3 red ones

I hope that makes sense!
Final answer:

To find the number of red fish in a tank where the ratio of red to blue fish is 1:5 and there are 15 blue fish, divide the number of blue fish by the blue part of the ratio (15 ÷ 5) and multiply by the red part (1), resulting in 3 red fish.

Explanation:

The question asks how many red fish are there in a fish tank if the ratio of red fish to blue fish is 1:5 and there are 15 blue fish. To solve this, you can use the ratio provided. Since the ratio of red to blue fish is 1:5, for every 1 red fish, there are 5 blue fish.

Given there are 15 blue fish, you can divide the number of blue fish by the ratio part for blue fish to find out how many parts of red fish there are.

Step 1: Find the ratio part representing red fish. It is 1.

Step 2: Divide the number of blue fish by the blue ratio part (5) to find how many times the ratio fits into the blue fish population. 15 blue fish ÷ 5 = 3.

Step 3: Multiply the result by the red ratio part. 3 × 1 = 3 red fish.

Write the equation of the conic section with the given properties:

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\frac{x^2}{64} + \frac{y^2}{25} =1[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

An ellipse with vertices (-8, 0) and (8, 0)

Distance between two vertices = 2a

Distance between (-8,0) and (8,0) = 16

2a= 16

so a= 8

Vertex is (h+a,k)

we know a=8, so vertex is (h+8,k)

Now compare (h+8,k) with vertex (8,0) and find out h and k

h+8 =8, h=0

k =0  

a minor axis of length 10.

Length of minor axis = 2b

2b = 10

so b = 5

General formula for the equation of horizontal ellipse is

[tex]\frac{(x-h)^2}{a^2} + \frac{(y-k)^2}{b} =1[/tex]

a= 8 , b=5 , h=0,k=0. equation becomes

Judy worked 8 hours and Ben worked 10 hours. Their combined pay was $80. When Judy worked 9 hours and Ben worked 5 hours, their combined pay was $65. Find the hourly rate of pay for each person

Answers

Answer:

Judy = $5/hr

Ben = $4/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Judy's hours at work - x

Ben's hours at work - y

8x + 10y = 80

9x + 5y = 65

Given these two equations above, we get:

10y = 80 - 8x, which means y = 8 - 0.8x.

Substitute y in the second equation with 8 - 0.8x, so we have:

9x + 5 (8 - 0.8x) = 65

9x + 40 - 4x = 65

5x = 25

x = 5

Come back to the first equation, substitute x:

8*5 + 10y = 80

10y = 80 - 40

y = 4

A jewelry store purchases a necklace for 150. They markup the necklace 75% how much will the jewelry store sell the necklace for ?

Answers

75% off? If so, the necklace is $37.50

The selling price of the necklace is calculated by adding a 75% markup to the original purchase price of $150, which results in a selling price of $262.50.

To calculate the selling price of a necklace that a jewelry store purchased for $150 with a 75% markup, you first need to find out how much 75% of the purchase price is and then add that to the original purchase price. To do this, multiply the purchase price, $150, by 75% (or 0.75). This calculation gives you the markup amount:

Markup amount = $150 imes 0.75 = $112.50

After finding the markup amount, you add it to the original purchase price to find the selling price:

Selling price = Original purchase price + Markup amount

Selling price = $150 + $112.50 = $262.50

Therefore, the jewelry store will sell the necklace for $262.50.

Write an equation of the line,in point slope form, that passes through the two given points. Points: (-13,9),(11,-3)

It’s for number 7. I know it shows me the right answer but I am doing corrections and I need some help in how to solve it. Please help!

Answers

The equation in point slope form is y-y1 = m(x-x1)


The first point given is (-13,9) so this is used for Y1 and X1.


m is the slope which is found by the change in Y over the change in x.


The slope is -3 - 9 / 11 - -13, which equals -1/2


So the equation becomes y-9 = -1/2(x+13)

Answer:

y-9=-1/2(x+13)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope for the line, we use

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

since we know the points( -13,9) and (11,-3)

m= (-3-9)/(11--13)

   =(-3-9)/(11+13)

  =-12/24

  = -1/2

We can use the point slope form to make the equation for the line

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-9=-1/2(x--13)

y-9=-1/2(x+13)

An electrician sent Bonnie an invoice in the amount of 'a' dollars for 6 hours of work that was done on Saturday. The electrician charges a weekend fee 'f' in addition to an hourly rate 'r'. Bonnie knows what the weekend fee is. Write a formula Bonnie can use to find 'r', the rate the electrician charges per hour.

Answers

Answer:

(a-f)/6 = r

Step-by-step explanation:

The total Bonnie must pay is the weekend fee plus the hourly rate times the hours worked

Cost = weekend fee * hourly rate* hours

hours = 6

weekend fee =f

hourly rate = r

Cost = a dollars

Substituting in what we know

a = f+ 6r

We want to solve for r

Subtract f from each side

a-f =f-f +6r

a-f = 6r

Divide each side by 6

(a-f)/6 = 6r/6

(a-f)/6 = r

a storage container is a rectangular prism with a volume of 392 cubic inches. the height of the container is 3 inches less than its length and its width is twice the length. what are the dimensions of the container?

Answers

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the rectangular prism = x inches

Width of the rectangular prism = 2 x length = 2x inches

Height of the rectangular prism = 3 inches less than the length = (x -3) inches

Volume of the rectangular prism = length x width x height = 392 cubic inches

= (2x) inches x (x) inches x (x -3) inches = 392 cubic inches

= x2(x-3) = 196 cubic inch

X = 8.59 inch

Length of the rectangular prism = x inches = 7 inch

Width of the rectangular prism = 2 x length = 2 x 7 inch = 14 inch

Height of the rectangular prism = 3 inches less than the length = (x -3) inches =  7 – 3 = 4 inch


The dimensions of the storage container are 7 inches in length, 14 inches in width, and 4 inches in height. The volume equation is solved for length by substituting the relationships between height, width, and length into the formula for volume.

To find the dimensions of a rectangular prism storage container with a volume of 392 cubic inches, we need to set up equations based on the information given. The height (h) of the container is 3 inches less than its length (l), so h = l - 3. The width (w) of the container is twice the length of the container, so w = 2l. Knowing that volume = length * width * height (V = lwh), we can substitute the expressions for h and w into the volume equation to obtain an equation with one unknown:

V = l * (2l) * (l - 3)

Substituting the known volume into the equation, we get:

392 = l * (2l) * (l - 3)

This is a cubic equation that can be solved for l (the length of the container). Once l is found, we can also find h and w since they are defined in terms of l.

Let's solve the equation:

[tex]392 = 2l^2 * (l - 3)[/tex]

Divide both sides by 2 to simplify:

[tex]196 = l^2 * (l - 3)[/tex]

Now we expand and solve for l:

[tex]196 = l^3 - 3l^2[/tex]

Moving all terms to one side gives:

[tex]l^3 - 3l^2 - 196 = 0[/tex]

By trial and error or using a cubic equation solver, we find that l = 7 inches. Now we can find the height and width:

h = l - 3 = 7 - 3 = 4 inches

w = 2l = 2 x 7 = 14 inches

Therefore, the dimensions of the storage container are 7 inches in length, 14 inches in width, and 4 inches in height.

Lucy planted a lemon tree and a cherry tree. The lemon tree is 6 feet tall. The cherry tree is 3 7/10 times as tall as the lemon tree. How tall is Lucy's cherry tree?

Answers

I hope you found this helpful.

To calculate the height of Lucy's cherry tree, we first convert 3 7/10 to an improper fraction, resulting in 37/10. Then we multiply the height of the lemon tree (6 feet) by 37/10 to get 22.2 feet. Thus, the cherry tree is 22.2 feet tall.

To find the height of Lucy's cherry tree, which is 3 7/10 times as tall as her lemon tree, we start with the known height of the lemon tree, which is 6 feet tall. We then multiply this height by the factor 3 7/10 to determine the height of the cherry tree.

First, let's convert the mixed number to an improper fraction to simplify the calculation:

Multiply the whole number part (3) by the denominator of the fraction part (10): 3 × 10 = 30.Add this to the numerator of the fraction part (7): 30 + 7 = 37.Now we have an improper fraction of 37/10.

Next, we'll multiply the height of the lemon tree by this fraction:

6 feet × 37/10 = (6 × 37) / 10 = 222 / 10 = 22.2 feet.
So, the height of Lucy's cherry tree is 22.2 feet tall.

In [tex]\frac{4}{5}[/tex] he can run [tex]\frac{43}{4}[/tex] laps

Unit rate per hour = [tex]\frac{\frac{43}{4} }{\frac{4}{5} }[/tex]

                              =[tex]\frac{43}{4} \times \frac{5}{4} = \frac{215}{16}[/tex] laps

Therefore, Fred can run in one hour is, [tex]13\frac{7}{16}[/tex] laps.

Final answer:

To determine how many laps Fred can run in one hour, we used a proportion equation, converting 10 3/4 laps to an improper fraction and then solving for x. Fred can run approximately 13.44 laps in one hour.

Explanation:

Calculating Laps per Hour

To find out how many laps Fred can run in one hour, we need to perform a simple proportion based on the information given. Fred can run 10 3/4 laps in 4/5 of an hour. To find out how many laps he can run in a full hour (1 hour), we set up the proportion equation:

\[\left(\frac{10 \frac{3}{4}}{\frac{4}{5}}\right) = \left(\frac{x}{1}\right)\]

First, we convert 10 3/4 to an improper fraction, which is \(\frac{43}{4}\). Then we solve for \(x\) by multiplying both sides by 1, which simplifies our proportion to:

\[x = \frac{43}{4} \times \frac{5}{4}\]

Next, we multiply the numerators and then the denominators:

\[x = \frac{43 \times 5}{4 \times 4}\]

\[x = \frac{215}{16}\]

Finally, we divide 215 by 16 to get \(x = 13.4375\), which means Fred can run approximately 13.44 laps in one hour.

Help please !Algebra Two!! World War I was considered to truly be a world war because of the amount of people and nations that got involved in the war. The main combatants were Britain, France, and Russia on the Allied side and Germany, Austria-Hungary, and the Ottoman Empire on the Central Powers side. Not only were the nations involved but all of the resources of the European colonial empires were brought to bear. Smaller nations in Europe got involved on either side due to a complex system of alliances that existed in Europe before the war. As the war wore on, even more nations were dragged in. The reasons varied. Some, like the United States, got involved by trading with one side. Others, like Italy and Japan, opportunistically jumped in to make territorial gains. By the end of the war, most of the world was involved-making it truly a world war.
