Retention rates in a weight loss program. Americans spend over $30 billion annually on a variety of weight loss products and services. In a study of retention rates of those using the Rewards Program at Jenny Craig in 2005, it was found that about 18% of those who began the program dropped out in the first four weeks.10 Assume we have a random sample of 300 people beginning the program.
a) What is the mean number of people who would drop out of the Rewards Program within four weeks in a sample of this size? What is the standard deviation?
b) What is the approximate probability that at least 235 people in the sample will still be in the Rewards Program after the first four weeks?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

(a)

[tex]\mu=54[/tex]    

The standard deviation is  

[tex]\sigma=6.6543[/tex]

(b)

[tex]\mu=246\\\sigma=6.6543[/tex]  

Here sample size is large and np and n(1-p) are both greater than 30. So we can use a normal approximation of binomial distribution. z-score for Y = 234.5 (using continuity correction) is  

[tex]z=-1.73[/tex]

So the approximate probability that at least 235 people in the sample will still be in the Rewards Program after the first four weeks is  

[tex]P(Y\geq 235)=P(Y\geq 234.5)=P(z\geq -1.73)=0.9582[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:  

Let X is a random variable that shows the number of people who would drop out of the Rewards Program within four weeks. Here X has binomial distribution with parameters n = 300 and p = 0.18.

(a)  

The mean number of people who would drop out of the Rewards Program within four weeks in a sample of this size is  

[tex]\mu=np=300\cdot 0.18=54[/tex]  

The standard deviation is  

[tex]\sigma=\sqrt{np(1-p)}=\sqrt{300\cdot 0.18\cdot 0.82}=6.6543[/tex]  

(b)  

Let Y is a random variable that shows the number of people in the sample who will still be in the Rewards Program after the first four weeks. Here Y has a binomial distribution with parameters n= 300 and p=0.82. So mean of Y is  

[tex]\mu=np=300\cdot 0.82=246\\\sigma=\sqrt{np(1-p)}=\sqrt{300\cdot 0.18\cdot 0.82}=6.6543[/tex]  

Here sample size is large and np and n(1-p) are both greater than 30. So we can use a normal approximation of binomial distribution. z-score for Y = 234.5 (using continuity correction) is

[tex]z=\frac{Y-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{234.5-246}{6.6543}=-1.73[/tex]  

So the approximate probability that at least 235 people in the sample will still be in the Rewards Program after the first four weeks is  

[tex]P(Y\geq 235)=P(Y\geq 234.5)=P(z\geq -1.73)=0.9582[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

P = 2(l+w)

28 = 2(2w-1 + w)

Combine like terms

28 =2(3w-1)

Divide each side by 2

28/2 = 2/2(3w-1)

14 = 3w-1

Add 1 to each side

14+1 = 3w-1+1

15 = 3w

Divide each side by 3

15/3 =3w/3

Calculate m using the slope formula

m = [tex]\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }[/tex]

The perimeter of a rectangle is 64 cm. The length is 15 cm, how wide is rectangle?

Answers

The width is 17 centimeters

Answer:

17 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Rectangle perimeter: length*2 + width*2

Substitute width with "x".

Length is given as 15 cm

Perimeter is given as 64 cm

Plug in the values and solve for x.

64 = 2*15 + 2x

64 = 30+2x

2x = 34

x = 17

so width is 17 cm

Lia can rent a van for either $90 per day with unlimited mileage or $50 per day with 250 free miles and an extra 25¢ for each mile over 250. For what number of miles traveled in one day would the unlimited mileage plan save Lia money? (Show work)

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  more than 410

Step-by-step explanation:

For x miles, the second plan costs ...

  p2 = 50 +0.25(x -250)

For the first plan to be cheaper requires ...

  p1 < p2

  90 < 50 +0.25(x -250)

  40 < 0.25(x -250) . . . . . . subtract 50

  160 < x -250 . . . . . . . divide by 0.25

  410 < x . . . . . . . . . add 250

For more than 410 miles in one day, the unlimited plan would save money.

Step-by-step explanation:

In solving this question, remember the annotation SOHCAHTOA

1. We are given the value of the hypotenuse and we are to determine the value of the adjacent side. COS would be used to determine this value

Cos 26 = Adjacent / hypotenuse

cos 26 = x / 15

x / 15 =0.8988

x = 15 x 0.8988 = 13.5

2. We are given the value of the hypotenuse and we are to determine the value of the opposite side. SIN would be used to determine this value

Sin = opposite / hypotenuse

sin 49 = x / 24

0.7547 = x / 24

x = 0.7547 x 24

x = 18.1

3. We are given the value of the opposite side and we are to determine the value of the adjacent side. TAN would be used to determine this value

Tan = opposite / adjacent

tan 14 = 18 /x

18 / 0.2493 = 72.2

4.  We are given the value of the adjacent and we are to determine the value of the hypotenuse side. COS would be used to determine this value

cos 67 = opposite / hypotenuse

0.3907 = 5/x

x =5/  0.3907 = 12.8

to determine the missing angle

7. tan^-1 = opposite / adjacent

8. cos^-1 = adjacent / hypotenuse

9 = sin^-1 = opposite / hyotensue

What is the scale factor from Polygon A to Polygon B? Explain your reasoning.
B Find the missing length of each side marked with ? in Polygon B.
C Determine the measure of each angle marked with ? in Polygon A.

Answers

Answer:

for the lengths, just double the numbrrs

1.5 -> 3

2.5 -> 5

bc the scale factor is two (the upper edge is given)

the angles are just the same, no matter the zoom factor

There are two polygons where B is greater than A.

One side in polygon A has a length of 2.5 and the corresponding length in polygon B is 5.

So, the scale factor is

[tex]\dfrac{5}{2.5}=2[/tex]

So, the missing sides in polygon B are

[tex]1.5\times2=3[/tex]

[tex]2.5\times 2=5[/tex]

The angles in polygon A will be the same as B as all the sides of the polygon have changed according to the scale factor.

So, the missing sides in polygon B are 3 and 5, and the angles in polygon A are [tex]53^{\circ}[/tex] and [tex]82^{\circ}[/tex].

A 40 g ball of yarn is 125 m long. What is the mass of a ball of the same yarn that is 2 km long?

Answers

Answer:

640g

Step-by-step explanation:

1000m=1km so 125m times x= 2km x is 16 so we multiply 16 by 40 to get 640 g

The mass of 2 km long yarn ball is 640.

What is mass?

A measure of how much matter is in an object. This gold bar is quite small but has a mass of 1 kilogram (about 2.2 pounds), so it contains a lot of matter.

Given

40 g ball of yarn is 125 m long

To find mass for 2 km = 2000 m long yarn

[tex]\frac{40}{125} \ 2000[/tex]   =   [tex]\frac{80000}{125}[/tex]    =     640g
