The campus bookstore knows from the past several semesters that a certain elementary statistics book has a demand that is approximated by a normal distribution with a mean of 250 and a standard deviation of 40. They buy these books for $105 each and sell them to unsuspecting undergraduates at $222 each. All demand for this book is realized by the middle of the semester, at which point the bookstore bundles them up and sells them to a vendor in another country for $40 each. What is the marginal profit for a single elementary statistics book

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

$117

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

They buy these books for $105 each and sell them to unsuspecting undergraduates at $222 each

Marginal Profit = Marginal Revenue – Marginal Cost.

Marginal Profit = $222 - $105

Marginal Profit = $117

the marginal profit for a single elementary statistics book $117

For the remaining unsold books in the middle of the semester he bundles them up and sells to vendor in another country for $40 each for which he suffers a marginal loss of $105 - $40 = $65 each

Answers

Answer:

A) points at which paths intersect : (1,1,1) ; (2,4,8)

B) DNE

Step-by-step explanation:

A) To find the points in which the particle paths intersect, it is necessary to find the values of t for which the three components of both vectors are equal:

[tex]t_1=1+2t_2\\\\t_1^2=1+6t_2\\\\t_1^3=1+14t_2[/tex]

you replace t1 from the first equation in the second equation:

[tex](1+2t_2)^2=1+6t_2\\\\1+4t_2+4t_2^2=1+6t_2\\\\4t_2^2-2t_2=0\\\\t_2(2t_2-1)=0\\\\t_2=0\\\\t_2=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Then, for t2 = 0 and t2=1/2 you obtain for t1:

[tex]t_1=1+2(0)=1\\\\t_1=1+2(\frac{1}{2})=2[/tex]

Hence, for t1=1 and t2=0 the paths intersect. Furthermore, for t1=2 and t2=1/2 the paths also intersect.

The points at which the paths  intersect are:

[tex]r_1(1)=(1,1,1)=r_2(0)=(1,1,1)\\\\r_1(2)=(2,4,8)=r_2(\frac{1}{2})=(2,4,8)[/tex]

B) You have the following two trajectories of two independent particles:

[tex]r_1(t)=(t,t^2,t^3)\\\\r_2(t)=(1+2t,1+6t,1+14t)[/tex]

To find the time in which the particles collide, it is necessary that both particles are in the same position on the same time. That is, each component of the vectors must coincide:

[tex]t=1+2t\\\\t^2=1+6t\\\\t^3=1+14t[/tex]

From the first equation you have:

[tex]t=1+2t\\\\t=-1[/tex]

This values does not have a physical meaning, then, the particle do not collide

Baby talk: In a sample of 69 children, the mean age at which they first began to combine words was 16.44 months. with a standard deviation of 9.47 months. Part 1 out of 2 Construct a confidence interval for the mean age at which children first begin to combine words. Round the answers to two decimal places. A 98% confidence interval for the mean age is:__________

Answers

Answer:

A 98% confidence interval for the mean age is:

= ( 13.78, 19.10) months

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval can be defined as a range of values so defined that there is a specified probability that the value of a parameter lies within it.

The confidence interval of a statistical data can be written as.

x+/-zr/√n

Given that;

Mean x = 16.44 months

Standard deviation r = 9.47 months

Number of samples n = 69

Confidence interval = 98%

z(at 98% confidence) = 2.33

Substituting the values we have;

16.44+/-2.33(9.47/√69)

16.44+/-2.33(1.140054028722)

16.44+/-2.656325886922

16.44+/-2.66

= ( 13.78, 19.10) months

Therefore, A 98% confidence interval for the mean age is:

Therefore,valueof X is 165°.

The sum of angles at a point is always 360 degrees and you know all the angles apart from x. so 360-90-45-60=165.

Si se sabe que un terreno de 900 m2 a 45 Km del centro de la ciudad cuesta S/ 250 000, ¿cuánto deberá pagar como mínimo dicho empresario para adquirir el terreno con las condiciones dadas?


Answers

Answer:

375000

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that in this case the following proportion would be fulfilled:

Price * Distance / area

Now, we have that for a distance of 45 km and an area of 900 m ^ 2 the price is 250,000, now for a distance of 40 km but with an area of 1,200 m ^ 2, how would the price be, we replace:

250000 * 45/900 = P * 40/1200

12500 * 1200/40 = P

P = 375000

Which means that for these conditions the price is 375000.

Answer:

n = 66 (to the nearest whole number)

66 randomly selected players must be surveyed

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval can be defined as a range of values so defined that there is a specified probability that the value of a parameter lies within it.

The confidence interval of a statistical data can be written as.

x+/-zr/√n

x+/-M.E

M.E = zr/√n

Making n the subject of formula;

n = (zr/M.E)^2 ........1

Given that;

Mean = x

Standard deviation r = 2.7 inches

Number of samples = n

Confidence interval = 95%

z(at 95% confidence) = 1.96

Margin of error M.E = 0.65 inches

Substituting the given values into equation 1;

Assume a 10-year period at 8% compounded continuously and find the following: (a) the present value; (b) the accumulated amount of money flow at t = 10.

f(t)= 400e^0.03t

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the function of the rate of flow of money in dollar per year is

[tex]f(t)= 400e^{0.03t}[/tex]

The objective is to find the present value of this income over 10 years period an assume an annual interest rate of 8% compounded continuously.

Given that,

[tex]f(t)= 400e^{0.03t}[/tex]

r = 0.08, t = 10

if f(t) is the rate of  continuously money flow at an interest rate r to T year,

the present value is,

[tex]P= \int\limits^T_0 {f}(t)e^{-rt} \, dt[/tex]

Now input the values to get

[tex]p=\int\limits^{10}_0 400e^{0.03t}*e^{-0.08t} dt[/tex]

[tex]=400\int\limits^{10}_0 e^{0.03t}*^{-0.08t} dt[/tex]

[tex]= 400\int\limits^{10}_0 e^{-0.05t} dt[/tex]

[tex]=400(-\frac{e^{-0.05t}}{0.05} )|_0^1^0[/tex]

[tex]=-\frac{400}{0.05} (e^{-0.05*10}-e^{-0.05*0})\\\\=-\frac{400}{0.05} (e^{-0.5}-e^{*0})\\\\=3147.75[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence coefficient is also the confidence level. A confidence coefficient of 0.95 is the same as a confidence level of 95%.

Confidence level is used to express how confident we are that the population mean lies within the calculated confidence interval. It expresses the possibility of getting the same result if tests are repeated. Since the study reports that college students work, on average, between 4.63 and 12.63 hours a week, with confidence coefficient .95, then the true statement is

According to Nielsen//NetRatings, the average visitor to the American Greetings Website spends 11.85 minutes at the site. Assuming this finding to be based on a random sample of 20 visitors to the site, a POPULATION standard deviation of 3.0 minutes, and a population of visiting times that is approximately normally distributed, a 99% confidence interval for the population mean is closest to:________.

Answers

Answer:

The 99% confidence interval for the population mean is between 10.12 minutes and 13.58 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our [tex]\alpha[/tex] level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

[tex]\alpha = \frac{1-0.99}{2} = 0.005[/tex]

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of [tex]1-\alpha[/tex].

So it is z with a pvalue of [tex]1-0.005 = 0.995[/tex], so [tex]z = 2.575[/tex]

Now, find the margin of error M as such

[tex]M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

In which [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

[tex]M = 2.575*\frac{3}{\sqrt{20}} = 1.73[/tex]

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 11.85 - 1.73 = 10.12 minutes

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 11.85 + 1.73 = 13.58 minutes

The 99% confidence interval for the population mean is between 10.12 minutes and 13.58 minutes.
