Answer:

a) P=0.24

b) P=0.31

c) Not independent.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete.

a) What’s the probability that a randomly chosen order will be wrapped and sent to a different person?

P(W\&SOP)=P(SOP)*P(W|SOP)=0.30*0.60=0.24

W: wrapped

SOP: sent to different individuals

b) What’s the probability that a randomly selected order will be gift wrapped?

P(W)=P(SOP)*P(W|SOP)+P(SR)*P(W|SR)\\\\P(W)=0.3*0.6+0.7*0.1=0.24+0.07=0.31

SR: sent to the correct recipient

c) Is gift wrapping independent of the order’s destination? Please provide a statistical justification.

To establish their independence, both conditions must be satisfied:

  • P(x|y) = P(x), for all values of X and Y.
  • P(x ∩ y) = P(x) * P(y), for all values of X and Y.

Starting with the second condition.

P(W\cap SR)=0.1\\\\P(W)*P(SR)=0.31*0.7=0.217\\\\\\P(W\cap SR)\neq P(W)*P(SR)

This condition is unmet, indicating that these variables are not independent.

Sarah and her children went into a movie theater and she bought $35.50 worth of drinks and candies. Each drink costs $5 and each
AnnZ [12381]

Answer:

Sarah purchased 2 drinks and 6 candies.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the quantity of drinks Sarah bought.

y ----> the number of candies acquired by Sarah.

We know that

the total spent on drinks and candies was $35.50

therefore,

5x+4.25y=35.50 -----> equation A

She bought 3 times more candies compared to drinks.

thus,

y=3x -----> equation B

To resolve the equations graphically

The solution lies at the intersection of the two graphs

utilizing a graphing tool

The result is the coordinate (2,6)

therefore,

Sarah bought 2 drinks and 6 candies.

We determine that the true average calorie content as estimated in the sampled population surpasses the actual calorie content. Step-by-step explanation: An article discussed a pilot study where each of the 58 participants was asked to estimate the calorie count of a 12 oz beer known to have 153 calories. The observed sample mean of calorie estimation was 193, with a sample standard deviation of 88. Let \mu = true average estimated calorie level within the sampled population. Thus, Null Hypothesis, : \mu 153 calories {indicating that the true average estimated calorie content does not exceed the actual amount}. Alternative Hypothesis, H_A: \mu > 153 calories {indicating the true average estimation exceeds the actual}. The appropriate test statistic would be a one-sample t-test statistic, as we lack knowledge of the population standard deviation; Test Statistic = ~t = t_n_-_1

where, sample mean estimated calorie level = 193 calories, s = sample standard deviation = 88, and n = sample size = 58. Therefore, the test statistic = ~t = 3.462. The t-table indicates a critical value of 1.6725 for 57 degrees of freedom at a 0.05 significance level. Since our test statistic of 3.462 > 1.6725, we have sufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis; thus, affirming that the true average estimated calorie content in the sampled population exceeds the real content.
