A major department store chain is interested in estimating the mean amount its credit card customers spent on their first visit

to the chain's new store in the mall. Fifteen credit card accounts were randomly sampled and analyzed with the following results: = $50.50 and S = 20. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the mean amount its credit card customers spent on their first visit to the chain's new store in the mall assuming that the amount spent follows a normal distribution. A) $50.50 ± $9.09 B) $50.50 ± $10.12 C) $50.50 ± $11.00 D) $50.50 ± $11.08

Answer: D) \$50\pm\$11.08

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the provided information, we have

Sample size: n= 15

sample mean: \overline{x}=\$50.50

Sample standard deviation: s= $20

Since the population standard deviation is not known, we utilize a t-test.

For a significance level of 95% confidence: \alpha=1-0.95=0.05

Critical t-value : t_{n-1, \alpha/2}=t_{014,0.025}=2.145  [Using the Student's t-value table]

The required 95% confidence interval yields:-

\overline{x}\pm t_{n-1, \alpha/2}\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\ =\$50.50\pm(2.145)\dfrac{\$20}{\sqrt{15}}\\\\\approx \$50\pm\$11.08

Thus, the sought-after 95% confidence interval for the mean amount spent by credit card customers during their initial visit to the new store in the mall, assuming normal distribution of the spending amounts, is:

\$50\pm\$11.08

The sum of the first 1 million primes is N. Without knowing N's value, one can determine that the ones'digit of N cannot be
babunello [8423]
All prime numbers are odd with the exception of two. Hence, if we consider the sum of the first million primes, it consists of one even number combined with 999,999 odd numbers. Since the product of an odd number multiplied by another odd number results in an odd number, we conclude that the sum must be an odd number, being even + odd = odd.

It's clear that an odd number ends with an odd digit, so the only digit that can be eliminated is b (an even digit).

(2 thousands 7 tens) times 10
babunello [8423]

You may either multiply the numbers or the place value, and both methods will yield the same answer.

(2 thousands, 7 tens) multiplied by 10 results in

... (20 thousands, 70 tens)

or

... (2 ten-thousands, 7 hundreds)

tester [8842]

a=2+6t, b=10+2t

a=b when

2+6t=10+2t  subtract 2t from both sides

2+4t=10  subtract 2 from both sides

4t=8  divide both sides by 4

t=2

Thus, they will have the same amount of snowfall after two hours

A box has 14 camera of which 6 are refurbished and 8 are new. If four of these 14 cameras are selected at random without replace
Leona [9271]

Answer:

160/1001, 175/1001

Step-by-step explanation:

i) We calculate:

₈C₁ methods to select 1 new camera from a selection of 8

₆C₃ methods to select 3 refurbished cameras from a selection of 8

₁₄C₄ methods to select 4 cameras from the total of 14 cameras

The probability formula is:

P = ₈C₁ ₆C₃ / ₁₄C₄

P = 8×20 / 1001

P = 160 / 1001

P ≈ 0.160

ii) For at most one new camera, it means we want either one new camera or none at all. We've calculated the probability of selecting one new camera already. The probability of not selecting any new camera is equivalent to selecting 4 refurbished cameras:

P = ₆C₄ / ₁₄C₄

P = 15 / 1001

Therefore, the combined probability is:

P = 160/1001 + 15/1001

P = 175/1001

P ≈ 0.175
