PROBLEM 5: Juanita Martínez, a researcher at the Colombian Cofee Corporation, is interested in determining the rate of coffee use per household in the United States. She believes that the annual consumption per household has a mean μ = 18 pounds and standard deviation close to 4 pounds. If Juanita takes a sample of 36 households and records her coffee consumption for a year, what is the probability that the average sample is between 14 and 20 pounds? POSSIBLE ANSWERS: a) 0.9986 b) No answer is correct c) 0.9657 d) 0.0014
1)Solution:
n = 625
p = 0.10
binomial probability distribution
Formula:
P(k out of n )= n!*pk * qn-k / k! *(n - k)!
P( x > 60 ) = 625!*0.161 * 0.9625-61 / 61! *(625 - 61)!+625!*0.162 * 0.9625-62 / 62! *(625 - 62)!.......
...........+625!*0.1625 * 0.9625-625 / 60! *(625 - 625)!
= 0.5987
the near answer is option d

Federal Income Taxes Individuals and firms pay out a significant portion of their income as taxes, so taxes are important in both personal and corporate decisions. Our tax system is progressive. Individual Individuals pay taxes on wages, on investment income, and on the profits of proprietorships and partnerships. Taxable income is defined as gross income less a set of exemptions and deductions. In 2013, the personal exemption is $3,900 per person. A capital gain (loss) is the profit (loss) from...
Problem 3-24 points You're a quality control engineer at Tinker Air Force Base, and you're worried that a subassembly for certain aircraft weighs too much (and is therefore affecting the performance of the aircraft), You want the subassembly to weigh less than 45 pounds on average or you'll need to change suppliers of the subassembly. To test whether the average weight is less than 45 pounds, you weighed 16 different subassemblies, resulting in an average of 43.2 pounds and a...

At least one of the answers above is NOT correct. 2 of the questions remain unanswered. The Ethan Allan tour boat capsized and sank in Lake George, NY and 20 out of 47 passengers drowned. Based on the 1960 assumption that the passengers would have a mean weight of 140 lb, the boast was rated to carry 50 passengers. The weight capacity of the tour boat was 7000 lbs. After the accident, under the assumption that the mean weight is...
PROBLEM 1. One of the important factors in auto safety is a weight of a car. Insurance companies are interested in the average weight of cars currently licensed in the US. It is claimed to be 3,000 pounds. The weights of cars currently licensed in the US are known to be Normally distributed. Answer the following questions. Question 1.

Hello, Problem Attached, all bolded parts are completed by me and were verified to be correct. I am stuck on Part E and F. For tax purposes, “gross income” is all the money a person receives in a given year from any source. But income taxes are levied on “taxable income” rather than gross income. The difference between the two is the result of many exemptions and deductions. To see how they work, suppose you made $70,000 last year in...
