In a data distribution, the first quartile, the median and the means are 30.8, 48.5 and 42.0 respectively. If the coefficient skewness is −0.38
a) What is the approximate value of the third quartile (Q3 ), correct to 2 decimal places.
b)What is the approximate value of the variance, correct to the nearest whole number

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) The third quartile Q₃ = 56.45

b) The variance = 2633.31

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The coefficient of skewness formula is given as follows;

[tex]SK = \dfrac{Q_{3}+Q_{1}-2Q_{_{2}}}{Q_{3}-Q_{1}}[/tex]

Plugging in the values, we have;

[tex]-0.38 = \dfrac{Q_{3}+30.8-2 \times 48.5_{_{}}}{Q_{3}-30.8}[/tex]

Solving gives Q₃ = 56.45

b) To determine the variance, we use the skewness formula as follows;

[tex]SK_{p} = \dfrac{Mean-\left (3\times Median - 2\times Mean \right )}{\sigma } = \dfrac{3\times\left ( Mean - Median \right )}{\sigma }[/tex]

Plugging in the values, we get;

[tex]-0.38= \dfrac{42-\left (3\times 48.5- 2\times 42\right )}{\sigma } = \dfrac{-19.5}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]\therefore \sigma =\dfrac{-19.5}{-0.38} = 51.32[/tex]

The variance = σ² = 51.32² = 2633.31.

Burnwood Tech plans to issue some $50 par preferred stock with a 8% dividend. A similar stock is selling on the market for $65. Burnwood must pay flotation costs of 6% of the issue price. What is the cost of the preferred stock? Round your answer to two decimal places.

Answers

Answer:

6.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

The formular used to calculate the cost of preferred stock is:

= Fixed dividend/Net proceeds

Fixed dividend= $50 × 8/100

= $50×0.08

=$4

Net proceeds= Market price-Flotation costs

= $65-(6/100×$65)

= $65-(0.06×$65)

= $65-3.9

= $61.1

Therefore cost of preferred stock is

= 4/61.1 ×100

= 0.065×100

= 6.5%

Hence the cost of preferred stock is 6.5%

On a snow day, Brooklyn created two snowmen in her backyard. Snowman A was built to a height of 60 inches and Snowman B was built to a height of 44 inches. The next day, the temperature increased and both snowmen began to melt. At sunrise, Snowman A's height decrease by 5 inches per hour and Snowman B's height decreased by 3 inches per hour. Let A(t)A(t) represent the height of Snowman A tt hours after sunrise and let B(t)B(t) represent the height of Snowman B tt hours after sunrise. Write the equation for each function and determine the number of hours after sunrise when both snowmen have an equal height.

Answers

Answer: it will take 9 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate at which the height of each snowman decreased is linear. This means that it was decreasing in arithmetic progression. The formula for determining the nth term of an arithmetic progression is expressed as

Tn = a + (n - 1)d

Where

a represents the first term of the sequence.

d represents the common difference

n represents the number of terms(hours)

Considering snowman A,

Tn = A(t)

n = t

a = 60 inches

d = - 5 inches(since it is decreasing)

Therefore,

A(t) = 60 + (t - 1)-5

A(t) = 60 - 5t + 5

A(t) = 65 - 5t

Considering snowman B,

Tn = B(t)

n = t

a = 44 inches

d = - 3 inches(since it is decreasing)

Therefore,

B(t) = 44 + (t - 1)-3

B(t) = 44 - 3t + 3

B(t) = 47 - 3t

For both snowmen to have an equal height, it means that

65 - 5t = 47 - 3t

- 5t + 3t = 47 - 65

- 2t = - 18

t = - 18/- 2

t = 9 hours

b. If a simple random sampling procedure is to be employed, the chances that any particular sample will be the one selected are:________

Answers

Answer:

a) 10

b) 0.1 = 10%

Step-by-step explanation:

The combinations formula is used to solve this question, since the horses are chosen without replacement.

Combinations formula:

[tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

a. Use this information to determine the number of possible samples (without replacement) of size 2 that can be obtained from the population of size 5.

Combinations of 2 objects from a set of 5. So

[tex]C_{5,2} = \frac{5!}{2!(5-2)!} = 10[/tex]

b. If a simple random sampling procedure is to be employed, the chances that any particular sample will be the one selected are:________

In this procedure, the samples are all equally as likely to be chosen.

So

Answers

Answer:

[tex]z=\frac{0.05 -0.06}{\sqrt{\frac{0.06(1-0.06)}{97}}}=-0.415[/tex]  

Now we can find the p value with the following probability:

[tex]p_v =P(z<-0.415)=0.3409[/tex]  

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given

n=97 represent the random sample taken

[tex]\hat p=0.05[/tex] estimated proportion of defective

[tex]p_o=0.06[/tex] is the value to verify

z would represent the statistic

[tex]p_v[/tex] represent the p value

Hypothesis to tests

We want to tet if the true proportion is less than 6%, the system of hypothesis are:  

Null hypothesis:[tex]p\geq 0.06[/tex]  

Alternative hypothesis:[tex]p < 0.06[/tex]  

The statistic is given by:

[tex]z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}}[/tex] (1)  

Replacing the info given we got:

[tex]z=\frac{0.05 -0.06}{\sqrt{\frac{0.06(1-0.06)}{97}}}=-0.415[/tex]  

Now we can find the p value with the following probability:

[tex]p_v =P(z<-0.415)=0.3409[/tex]  

The director of the IRS has been flooded with complaints that people must wait more than 40 minutes before seeing an IRS representative. To determine the validity of these complaints, the IRS randomly selects 400 people entering IRS offices across the country and records the times which they must wait before seeing an IRS representative. The average waiting time for the sample is 60 minutes with a standard deviation of 22 minutes.

(a) Is there overwhelming evidence to support the claim that the wait time to see an IRS representative is more than 40 minutes at a 0.100 significance level?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]t=\frac{60-40}{\frac{22}{\sqrt{400}}}=18.18[/tex]    

The degrees of freedom are given by:

[tex]df=n-1=400-1=399[/tex]  

The p value for this case would be given by:

[tex]p_v =P(t_{(399)}>18.18) \approx 0[/tex]  

For this case since the p value is a very low value we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true mean for this case is significantly higher than 40 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Information provided

[tex]\bar X=60[/tex] represent the sample mean

[tex]s=22[/tex] represent the sample standard deviation

[tex]n=400[/tex] sample size  

[tex]\mu_o =40[/tex] represent the value to verify

[tex]\alpha=0.1[/tex] represent the significance level

t would represent the statistic

[tex]p_v[/tex] represent the p value

Hypothesis to test

We want to verify if the true mean for this case is higher than 40 minutes, the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:[tex]\mu \leq 40[/tex]  

Alternative hypothesis:[tex]\mu > 40[/tex]  

The statistic would be given by:

[tex]t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]  (1)  

Replacing the info given we got:

[tex]t=\frac{60-40}{\frac{22}{\sqrt{400}}}=18.18[/tex]    

The degrees of freedom are given by:

[tex]df=n-1=400-1=399[/tex]  

The p value for this case would be given by:

[tex]p_v =P(t_{(399)}>18.18) \approx 0[/tex]  

For this case since the p value is a very low value we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true mean for this case is significantly higher than 40 minutes

a village is 20 miles away from Belfast. Connor drives from the village to Belfast at an average speed of 40mph. Kelly drives from the village to Belfast at an average speed of 50mph. How much longer will the journey take Connor in minutes?.

Answers

Answer:

6 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Connor drives from the village to Belfast at an average speed of 40mph.

The distance covered is 20 miles.

Time = distance/ speed

Time = 20/40

Time = 0.5 hours

Time = 30 minutes.

Kelly drives from the village to Belfast at an average speed of 50mph.

Time = distance/speed

Time = 20/50

Time = 0.4 hours

Time = 24 minutes

It will take Conor 30 - 24 = 6 minutes longer than Kelly

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since x is a binomial random variable that counts the number of adults with at least a bachelor's degree, it means that there are only two outcome. It is either an adult has a bachelor's degree or not. The probability of success would be that the adult has a bachelor's degree. Therefore, probability of success, p = 20/100 = 0.2

Number of adults in the sample is 100

The number of success expected is x

We want to determine the probability of P(x ≥ 60)

Therefore, the most efficient way to calculate the probability that more than 60 adults have a bachelor's degree is

b. P(x<60)=binompdf(100.0.20.60)
