Soda is often packaged in cans that are supposed to contain 12 ounces. However, no
manufacturing plant is perfect and so there might be slight errors. For example, Sam's Splendid
Soda company has verified that the amount of soda in their cans has a normal distribution with
a mean of 12 ounces and a standard deviation of 0.7 ounces. Although this is made up, it's not
completely divorced from the truth.
1. You open a can of Sam's and realize there are only 11.6 oz in the can. What is the
probability that a single can will contain 11.6 ounces or less of soda? (2 points)
2. Troubled by the under-filled soda, you decide to empty out all the cans in a six pack of Sam's
Soda and find that the mean amount of soda in all the cans is 11.6 ounces. What is the
probability that six pack will have a mean of 11.6 ounces or less of soda? (2 points)
3. Not satisfied with the information you figured out in #2, you take a case (36 cans) and
empty out all the cans of Sam's Soda and find that the mean amount of soda in all the cans is
11.6 ounces. What is the probability that case will have a mean of 11.6 ounces or less of soda?
(2 points)
4. Draw three normal distributions on the same set of axes or with the same scale to show
how the probabilities decrease from one can to six cans to 36 cans even though we're looking
at "less than 11.6 ounces." (2 points)
5. Use the graphs and your own understanding of the Central Limit Theorem to write a few
sentences explaining what is happening here. (2)

Answers

Answer 1

The probability that a single can will contain 11.6 ounces or less of soda is 0.2843

Probability that a can contains 11.6 ounces or less

The given parameters are:

x = 11.6

Mean = 12

Standard deviation = 0.7

Calculate the z value using:

[tex]z = \frac{x - \bar x}{\sigma}[/tex]

This gives

[tex]z = \frac{11.6-12}{0.7}[/tex]

z = -0.57

The probability is then calculated as:

P(x ≤ 11.6) = P(z ≤ -0.57)

Using the z table of probabilities, we have:

P(x ≤ 11.6) = 0.2843

Probability that a pack contains 11.6 ounces or less

In (a), the probability that a can contains 11.6 ounces or less is 0.2843

The probability that all cans in a pack contains 11.6 ounces or less is

P(6) = 0.2843^6

P(6) = 0.00053

Probability that a case contains 11.6 ounces or less

In (a), the probability that a can contains 11.6 ounces or less is 0.2843

The probability that all cans in a case contains 11.6 ounces or less is

P(36) = 0.2843^36

P(36) ≈ 0

Draw three normal distributions

See attachment for the normal distributions

The happening on the graph

The summary of the graph is that, as the sample size increases the probability decreases

Raphael and Martina are engaged and are planning to travel to Las Vegas during the 2020 Christmas season and get married around the end of the year. In 2020, Raphael expects to earn $45,400 and Martina expects to earn $15,800. Their employers have deducted the appropriate amount of withholding from their paychecks throughout the year. Neither Raphael nor Martina has any itemized deductions. They are trying to decide whether they should get married on December 31, 2020, or on January 1, 2021. What do you recommend? Use the appropriate Tax Tables.

Answers

After taking into consideration the advantages in tax management, it will not be beneficial for Raphael and Martina to get married and avail tax benefits.

What are tax benefits?

The individual taxable incomes of Raphael and Martina after availing the standard deductions will be $33,000 and $3,400 respectively. Now the computation of taxation liabilities will be computed as,

For Raphael, 10% of $33,000= $3,300;

For Martina, 10% of $3,400 = $340.

However, the joint income will be $61,200 and taxation liabilities of Raphael and Martina will be,

[tex]\rm Taxable\ Income = Total\ Income - Standard\ Deduction\\\\\rm Taxable\ Income =61200-24800\\\\\rm Taxable\ Income =\$36400[/tex]

Solving further,

[tex]\rm Joint\ Taxation = (\frac{10}{100}\ x\ 19750) + (\frac{12}{100}\ x\ 16650)\\\\\rm Joint\ Taxation = 1975+1998\\\\\rm Joint\ Taxation = \$3973[/tex]

Now, it can be compared that the joint taxation is higher than the summation of individual taxation of Raphael and Martina, and thus, tax benefits are not enough for Raphael and Martina to get married.

Hence, the tax benefits of Raphael and Martina after getting married are given as above.

A clinical psychologist is administering the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (Hamilton, 1967). The scale ranges from 0 to 52. Scoring is based on the 17-item scale and scores of 0–7 are considered as being normal, 8–16 suggest mild depression, 17–23 moderate depression and scores over 24 are indicative of severe depression (Zimmerman, Martinez, Young, Chelminski, & Dalrymple, 2013).

We have some evidence about the mean score for the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression among the population of adolescents: μ = 6 with a standard deviation of σ =1.5. The clinical psychologist’s patient, a 14-year old girl, scores a 10 on the scale. How would you describe her score relative to the population of adolescents? (Please use your knowledge of z-scores to answer this question.)

Answers

Using the normal distribution, it is found that the girl's score of 10 is higher than 99.62% of the population.

Normal Probability Distribution

The z-score of a measure X of a normally distributed variable with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex] is given by:

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

The z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is above or below the mean. Looking at the z-score table, the p-value associated with this z-score is found, which is the percentile of X.

The mean and the standard deviation are given, respectively, by:

[tex]\mu = 6, \sigma = 1.5[/tex].

Her z-score is given by:

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

[tex]Z = \frac{10 - 6}{1.5}[/tex]

Z = 2.67

Z = 2.67 has a p-value of 0.9962.

Hence her score is higher than 99.62% of the population.

A quadrilateral is a polygon that has four sides.The sum of all angles of a quadrilateral is 360°.

Here, we are given,

m∠A = (7x)◦, m∠B = (4x + 5)◦, m∠C =(6x + 15)◦, m∠D = (6x −5)◦

So, we will have

7x+4x+5+6x+15+6x-5=360°

23x+15°=360°

23x=345°

x=345°/23°

x=15°

Hence, the angles of the quadrilateral are:

m∠A = (7x)◦=105°,

m∠B = (4x + 5)◦ =65°

m∠C =105°

m∠D = (6x −5)◦ =85°

Since the diagonal bisects ∠B and ∠D, we get that the quadrilateral is a rhombus.

16. You found a shortcut to school that saves 5 minutes off of taking the freeway. About 1 in every 10 trips
you get stuck behind a bus and it ends up taking you 20 minutes longer than the freeway. What is the expected
value of the shortcut?

Answers

Answer:

  it saves 2.5 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

The expected value of a random variable is the sum of products of possibilities and the probability of each.

Here, you have a probability of 0.9 of saving 5 minutes, and a probability of 0.1 of adding 20 minutes.

__

The expected value of the shortcut is ...

  0.9(-5) +0.1(20) = -4.5 +2.0 = -2.5

The shortcut is expected to save 2.5 minutes on average.

_____

Additional comment

The probability of 0.9 comes from the 9 of 10 trips that result in a time saving.

Read the following excerpt from Levitt and Dubners Freakonomics.There is a tale, The Ring of Gyges, that Feldman sometimes tells his economist friends. It comes from Platos Republic. A student named Glaucon offered the story in response to a lesson by Socrateswho, like Adam Smith, argued that people are generally good even without enforcement. Glaucon, like Feldmans economist friends, disagreed. He told of a shepherd named Gyges who stumbled upon a secret cavern with a corpse inside that wore a ring. When Gyges put on the ring, he found that it made him invisible. With no one able to monitor his behavior, Gyges proceeded to do woeful thingsseduce the queen, murder the king, and so on. Glaucons story posed a moral question: could any man resist the temptation of evil if he knew his acts could not be witnessed? Glaucon seemed to think the answer was no.
