Many families in California are using backyard structures for home offices, art studios, and hobby areas as well as for additional storage. Suppose that the mean price for a customized wooden, shingled backyard structure is $3,100. Assume that the standard deviation is $1,400.

Required:
a. What is the z-score for a backyard structure costing $2300?
b. What is the z-score for a backyard structure costing $4900?
c. Interpret the z-scores in parts (a) and (b). Comment on whether either should be considered an outlier.
d. If the cost for a backyard shed-office combination built in Albany, California, is $13,000, should this structure be considered an outlier? Explain.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) The z-score for a backyard structure costing $2300 is -0.57.

b) The z-score for a backyard structure costing $4900 is 1.29

c) A backyard structure costing $2300 costs 0.57 standard deviations below the mean, while a backyard structure costing $4900 costs 1.29 standard deviations above the mean. Since both are within 2 standard deviations of the mean, none is an outlier.

d) Since this combination costs more than 2 standard deviations from the mean, yes, it should be considered an outlier.

Step-by-step explanation:

Z-score:

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore 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 pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

If the z-score is more than two standard deviations from the mean(lesser than -2 or more than 2), the score X is considered an outlier.

In this question, we have that:

[tex]\mu = 3100, \sigma = 1400[/tex]

a. What is the z-score for a backyard structure costing $2300?

We have to find Z when [tex]X = 2300[/tex]. So

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

[tex]Z = \frac{2300 - 3100}{1400}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.57[/tex]

The z-score for a backyard structure costing $2300 is -0.57.

b. What is the z-score for a backyard structure costing $4900?

We have to find Z when [tex]X = 2300[/tex]. So

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

[tex]Z = \frac{4900 - 3100}{1400}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.29[/tex]

The z-score for a backyard structure costing $4900 is 1.29

c. Interpret the z-scores in parts (a) and (b). Comment on whether either should be considered an outlier.

A backyard structure costing $2300 costs 0.57 standard deviations below the mean, while a backyard structure costing $4900 costs 1.29 standard deviations above the mean. Since both are within 2 standard deviations of the mean, none is an outlier.

d. If the cost for a backyard shed-office combination built in Albany, California, is $13,000, should this structure be considered an outlier?

We have to find the z-score when X = 13000. So

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

[tex]Z = \frac{13000 - 3100}{1400}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 7.07[/tex]

Since this combination costs more than 2 standard deviations from the mean, yes, it should be considered an outlier.

A petri dish has 10, 000 bacteria in it. After 4 hours the bacteria’s population increased to 20,000. If the number of colonies grows exponentially, write a formula for the number of bacteria in the dish at any time t, where t is in hours

Answers

Answer:

[tex]P(t) = 10000e^{0.1733t}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The population of bacteria grows exponentially, which means that it can be represented by a function in the following format:

[tex]P(t) = P(0)e^{rt}[/tex]

In which P(0) is the initial population and r is the growth rate.

A petri dish has 10, 000 bacteria in it.

This means that [tex]P(0) = 10000[/tex]. So

[tex]P(t) = 10000e^{rt}[/tex]

After 4 hours the bacteria’s population increased to 20,000.

This means that [tex]P(4) = 20000[/tex], and we use this to find the growth rate. So

[tex]P(t) = 10000e^{rt}[/tex]

[tex]20000 = 10000e^{4r}[/tex]

[tex]e^{4r} = \frac{20000}{10000}[/tex]

[tex]e^{4r} = 2[/tex]

[tex]\ln{e^{4r}} = \ln{2}[/tex]

[tex]4r = \ln{2}[/tex]

[tex]r = \frac{\ln{2}}{4}[/tex]

[tex]r = 0.1733[/tex]

So, the formula is given by:

[tex]P(t) = 10000e^{0.1733t}[/tex]

You are deciding between two laptops to purchase. The first laptop has an initial value

of $1200 but loses 11% of its value every year.
a. Write functions that represent the values (in dollars) of the laptops after t years.
Then graph the functions in the same coordinate plane.
b. Find the approximate monthly percent decrease in value for each laptop.
C. Which laptop should you buy if you plan on selling the laptop in 5 years? Explain
your reasoning

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

The first laptop

Initial value- $2000Value loss - 14% every yearFunction for value-  V(t) = 2000*0.86^t

The second laptop

Initial value- $1200Value loss - 11% every yearFunction- V(t) = 1200*0.89^t

b)

Monthly percent decrease

The first laptop:

14%/12 = 1.16%

The second laptop:

11%/12 = 0.92%

c)

The second laptop will lose less value in 5 years hence is better choice

A new car is purchased for 20000 dollars.The value of the cat depreciates at 12.5% per year.What will the value of the car be, to the nearest cent, after 11 years?

Answers

Answer:

$460.38

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the exponential decay formula, y = C(1 - r)^t

Plug in the original price, depreciation rate, and amount of time:

y = 20000(0.875)^11

y = 460.38

So, the car's value after 11 years will be $460.38

x = 30°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

∠A = x°

∠B = 2x°

∠C = 90°

We need to find the value of x.

We know that the sum of angles of a triangle is equal to 180°.

ATQ,

x° + 2x° + 90° = 180°

3x° = 180°-90°

3x° = 90°

x° = 30°

So, the value of x is 30°.

Answer:

3x+90=180

$18 eight hours, $9 two hours = $162

$18 seven hours, $9 three hours = $153

$18 six hours, $9 four hours = $144

$18 five hours, $9 five hours = $135

$18 four hours, $9 six hours = $126

$18 three hours, $9 seven hours = $117

$18 two hours, $9 eight hours = $108

$18 one hour, $9 nine hours = $99

37 people showed up to the party. There were 9 less men than women present. How many women were there?

Answers

Answer:

23

Step-by-step explanation:

tbh, i just guessed around the numbers until i got the right one xD

The number of women present in the party will be 23.

What is expression ?

Expression is a finite combination of symbols that is well-formed according to rules that depend on the context.

We have,

Total persons in party = 37

Let,

Number of men = m

Number of women = w

So,

Total number of persons in party ,

m + w = 37     .....(i)

Now,

According to the question,

m = w - 9

Now

Substituting m = w - 9 in equation (i),

i.e.

w - 9 + w = 37

We get,

2w = 37 + 9

2w = 46

We get,

w = 23

So, number of women are 23.

Hence, we can say that the number of women present in the party were 23.
