A regional office of the Internal Revenue Service randomly distributes returns to be audited to the pool of auditors. Over the thousands of returns audited last year, the average amount of extra taxes collected was $356 per audited return. One of the auditors, Jeffrey Jones, is suspected of being too lenient with persons whose returns are being audited. For a simple random sample of 30 of the returns audited by Mr. Jones last year, an average of $340 in extra taxes was collected.

Required:
Assuming a normal population of extra taxes collected with a standard deviation of $90, do the suspicions against Mr. Jones appear to be justified?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The decision rule is

   Fail to reject the null hypothesis

The conclusion is  

     There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the justification against Mr. Jones appears not  to be justified

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The population mean is  [tex]\mu  =  \$ 356[/tex]

    The sample  size is n  =  30  

     The sample mean is [tex]\= x = \$340[/tex]

    The standard deviation is  [tex]\sigma =  \$ 90[/tex]

    The  null hypothesis is [tex]H_o  :  \mu =  \$ 35 6[/tex]

     The alternative hypothesis is   [tex]H_a  :  \mu \ne  \$ 35 6[/tex]

Let assume the significance level is [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex]

Generally the test statistic is mathematically represented as

     [tex]t = \frac{\= x - \mu }{\frac{\sigma }{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex]

=>  [tex]t = \frac{ 340 - 356 }{\frac{90 }{\sqrt{30} } }[/tex]

=>  [tex]t =-0.9737 [/tex]

Generally the sample size from the question is  small that it is not greater than 30  hence we use t-test

Now the degree of freedom is mathematically represented as

     [tex]df =  n- 1[/tex]

=>   [tex]df =  30- 1[/tex]

=>   [tex]df= 29[/tex]

Generally the p-value is mathematically represented as

      [tex]p-value =  2 P (t >  -0.9737 )[/tex]

Generally from the t-distribution table , the probability of -0.9737 at a degree of freedom of  [tex]df= 29[/tex] for a two -tailed  test  is

     [tex]P (t >  -0.9737 ) =  0.33825793[/tex]

Hence p-value  is  

     [tex]p-value =  2*0.33825793[/tex]

      [tex]p-value =  0.676 [/tex]

From the value we obtained we see that  [tex]p-value  >  \alpha[/tex] hence

The decision rule is

   Fail to reject the null hypothesis

The conclusion is  

     There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the justification against Mr. Jones appears not  to be justified

Olga has $40 in her wallet. She has one more $5 bill than $10 bills, and two more $1 bills than $5 bills. If Olga has only three types of bills, how many bills of each denomination does she have?

Answers

Answer:

Number of $10 bills = 2

Number of $5 bills = 3

Number of $1 bills  = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total amount = $40

Number of $10 bills = x

Number of $5 bills = x + 1

Number of $1 bills = x + 1 + 2 = x + 3

Find:

Number of each bills

Computation:

10(x) + 5(x+1) + 1(x+3) = 40

10x + 5x + 5 + x + 3 = 40

16x = 32

x = 2

Number of $10 bills = x = 2

Number of $5 bills = x + 1 = 3

Number of $1 bills  = x + 3 = 5

Answer:

# of $10 bills = 2

# of $5 bills = 3

# of $1 bills  = 5

An Airliner has a capacity for 300 passengers. If the company overbook a flight with 320 passengers, What is the probability that it will not be enough seats to accommodate all passengers. Assume that the probability that a randomly selected passenger shows up to the airport is 0.96. Find the probability using the normal distribution as an approximation to the binomial distribution.

Answers

Answer:

The probability is   [tex]P(X  >300 ) = 0.97219 [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

 The capacity of  an Airliner  is  k =  300 passengers

 The sample size n =  320 passengers

  The probability the a randomly selected passenger shows up on to the airport

    [tex]p = 0.96[/tex]

Generally the mean is mathematically represented as

    [tex]\mu  =  n*  p[/tex]

  => [tex]\mu  =  320 *  0.96[/tex]

    => [tex]\mu  = 307.2[/tex]

Generally the standard deviation is  

    [tex]\sigma =  \sqrt{n *  p *  (1 -p ) }[/tex]

=>  [tex]\sigma =  \sqrt{320  *  0.96 *  (1 -0.96 ) }[/tex]

=> [tex]\sigma =3.50 [/tex]

Applying Normal approximation of binomial distribution

Generally the probability that there will not be enough seats to accommodate all passengers is mathematically represented as

  [tex]P(X  > k ) =  P( \frac{ X -\mu }{\sigma }  >  \frac{k - \mu}{\sigma } )[/tex]

Here [tex]\frac{ X -\mu }{\sigma }  =Z (The \ standardized \  value \  of  \ X )[/tex]

=>[tex]P(X  >300 ) =  P(Z >  \frac{300 - 307.2}{3.50} )[/tex]

Now applying  continuity correction we have

    [tex]P(X  >300 ) =  P(Z >  \frac{[300+0.5] - 307.2}{3.50} )[/tex]    

=>    [tex]P(X  >300 ) =  P(Z >  \frac{[300.5] - 307.2}{3.50} )[/tex]

=>    [tex]P(X  >300 ) =  P(Z >  -1.914 )[/tex]

From the z-table  

    [tex]P(Z >  -1.914 ) =  0.97219[/tex]

So

    [tex]P(X  >300 ) = 0.97219 [/tex]

The standard height from the floor to the bull’s-eye at which a standard dartboard is hung at 5 feet 8 inches. A standard dartboard is 18 inches in diameter. Suppose a standard dartboard is hung at standard height so that the bull’s-eye is 10 feet from the wall to its left. Sasha throws a dart at the dartboard that land at point 10.25 Feet from the left wall and 5 feet above the floor. Does Sasha’s dart land on the dartboard? Drag the choices into the boxes to correctly complete the statements.

Answers

Answer:

Hello! I'm sorry I couldn't get to your question sooner. I just completed this quiz!

The equation of the circle that represents the dartboard is (x-10)^2 + (y-17/3)^2 = 9/16, where the origin is the lower-left corner of the room and the unit of the radius is feet.  

The position of Sasha's dart is represented by the coordinates (10.25,5). Sash's dart does land on the dartboard.

This quiz was completed on k12, lesson 3.03.

The question is an illustration of equation of circles.

The equation of the dartboard circle is: [tex]\mathbf{(x - 10)^2 + (y - \frac{17}3)^2 = \frac 9{16}}[/tex]Sasha's dart lands on the dartboard because

From the question, we understand that:

[tex]\mathbf{h = 5\ ft\ 8\ in }[/tex] ---- the height at which the dartboard was hung

[tex]\mathbf{d = 18\i n }[/tex] ---- the diameter of the dartboard

[tex]\mathbf{B = 10ft}[/tex]  --- the bull's eye

[tex]\mathbf{D = (10.25ft, 5ft)}[/tex] --- Sasha's dart

Equation of the circle

First, we convert all units to feet

This is done by dividing inches units by 12

[tex]\mathbf{h = 5\ ft\ 8\ in }[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{h = 5\ ft\ + \frac{8}{12}\ ft }[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{h = 5\ ft\ + \frac{2}{3}\ ft }[/tex]

Take LCM

[tex]\mathbf{h = \frac{15 + 2}{3}\ ft }[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{h = \frac{17}{3}\ ft }[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{d = 18\i n }[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{d = \frac{18}{12}ft}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{d = \frac{3}{2}ft}[/tex]

Divide by 2 to calculate radius

[tex]\mathbf{r = \frac{3}{2*2}ft}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{r = \frac{3}{4}ft}[/tex]

The equation of the circle is represented as:

[tex]\mathbf{(x - a)^2 + (y - b)^2 = r^2}[/tex]

In this case:

[tex]\mathbf{a = B = 10ft}[/tex] -- the distance between the bull's eye and the wall

[tex]\mathbf{b = h = \frac{17}{3}\ ft }[/tex] ---- the height at which the dartboard was hung

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{(x - a)^2 + (y - b)^2 = r^2}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{(x - 10)^2 + (y - \frac{17}3)^2 = (\frac 34)^2}[/tex]

Evaluate the exponents

[tex]\mathbf{(x - 10)^2 + (y - \frac{17}3)^2 = \frac 9{16}}[/tex]

Hence, the equation of the circle is: [tex]\mathbf{(x - 10)^2 + (y - \frac{17}3)^2 = \frac 9{16}}[/tex]

Does Sasha’s dart land on the dartboard?

Yes her dart lands on the dartboard because

[tex]\mathbf{D = (10.25ft, 5ft)}[/tex] is within the circumference of the dartboard

she drank 14 ounces of her water, she has 28 ounces left, just divide 42 by 3

Answer:

1)14oz

2)28oz

Step-by-step explanation:

1) To find the amount of water is left in the bottle you want to substract 1/3 so the first thing you want to do is find what 1/3 of 42 is. So do this: (This is also 42/3)

42*1/3=14

So we now know that 14 is 1/3 of 45 which is the first answer. To find the second answer you want to substract 14 from 42 which is 28.

So that means she has 28 oz of water left when she gets there.

b) Also illustrate the above information in Venn diagram.​

Answers

Answer:

Universal set is 80

Number of people that speak Nepali is 50

Number of people that speak English is 45

Number of people that do not speak both is 7

a. Number of people that speak both languages is 22

b. As above

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Let make number of people that speak both languages x

To get x

(50-x) + (45-x) + x + 7 = 80

(50-x) + (45-x) + x = 80 - 7

(50-x) + (45-x) + x = 73

Open bracket

50-x+45-x+x= 73

50+45-2x+x = 73

95 - x = 73

-x = 73 - 95

-x = -22

x = 22

Therefore, number of people that speak both languages is 22

b. To get venn diagram

Number of people that speak Nepali is 50 - 22 = 28

Number of people that speak English is 45 - 22 = 23

Therefore, total = 28+23+22+7 = 80
