The starting salaries of individuals with an mba degree are normally distributed with a mean of $40,000 and a standard deviation

Response:

0.0000

Unusual

To explain step-by-step:

A tobacco company asserts that the nicotine content in its cigarettes behaves as a random variable with a mean of 2.2 mg and a standard deviation of.3 mg.

This means the population parameters are

The likelihood that the sample average would equal or exceed 3.1

equals 0.0000

Answer:

A Type I error could occur if the test shows that the proportion is above 90%, while in reality, the actual proportion is 90%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Machines in a factory produce circular washers that meet a specific diameter.

The quality control manager routinely assesses samples of washers to ensure that more than 90% conform to the specified diameter.

Let p represent the proportion of washers that meet the specified diameter

Thus, Null hypothesis: p = 90%

Alternative Hypothesis: p > 90%

Now, a Type I error indicates the probability of rejecting the null hypothesis while it is actually true or, in simple terms, the likelihood of incorrectly rejecting a valid hypothesis.

Thus, based on our question, a Type I error would declare that the test convincingly indicates the proportion is over 90%, while in truth, it remains 90%.

Answer:

According to my cupcake recipe, it yields $12$ cupcakes and calls for $1\frac{1}{2}$ sticks of butter. I can only purchase whole sticks of butter.

Consequently, a single whole stick of butter will suffice to prepare $100$ cupcakes.

Answer:

  (1/10)∛100 ≈ 0.4642

Step-by-step explanation:

For a cubic shape with volume V, the edge length is defined as...

  s = ∛V

and the surface area is given by...

  A = 6s² = 6V^(2/3)

The area-to-volume ratio is therefore...

  r1 = A/V = 6V^(2/3)/V = 6V^(-1/3)

When the volume V is increased by a factor of 10, the new area-to-volume ratio becomes...

  r2 = 6(10V)^(-1/3)

Consequently, the change factor for the ratio is...

  r2/r1 = (6(10V)^(-1/3))/(6V^(-1/3)) = 10^(-1/3) = (1/10)∛100

The change in surface area per unit volume results in a factor of (∛100)/10.

Example

For a cube with side length 2, the corresponding volume equals 2³ = 8, with a surface area of 6·2² = 24. The resulting area-to-volume ratio is 24/8 = 3.

The area-to-volume ratio changed by a factor of (0.3∛100)/3 = (∛100)/10, as previously noted.
