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?
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

B.
8.9x + 17.94
C.
-2.84x + 17.94
D.
8.9x + 1.66
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
5.3x − 8.14 + 3.6x + 9.8
group the numbers on one side and the x's on the other
5.3x + 3.6x - 8.14 + 9.8
solve

Suppose that Haley encounter two traffic lights on her commute to GGC campus. Based on
her past experience, she judge that the probability is 0.35 that the first light will be red when she gets to it,
0.45 that the second light will be red, and 0.20 that both lights will be red. Let R1 denote the event that the
first light is red, and let R2 denote the event that the second light is red.
a) Determine the probability that at least one light will be red. (Show how you calculate this.)
b) Determine the conditional probability that the second light will be red given that the first light is
red. (Show how you calculate this.)
c) Are the events R1 and R2 independent? Justify your answer numerically.
d) Are the events R1 and R2 disjoint (mutually exclusive)? Justify your answer numerically.
Answer:
Explained below.
Step-by-step explanation:
The information provided is,
P (R₁) = 0.35
P (R₂) = 0.45
P (R₁ ∩ R₂) = 0.20
(a)
Compute the probability that at least one light will be red as follows:
P (at least one light will be red) = P (R₁ ∪ R₂)
= P (R₁) + P (R₂) - P (R₁ ∩ R₂)
= 0.35 + 0.45 - 0.20
= 0.60
Thus, the probability that at least one light will be red is 0.60.
(b)
Compute the conditional probability that the second light will be red given that the first light is red as follows:
[tex]P(R_{2}|R_{1})=\frac{P(R_{1}\cap R_{2})}{P(R_{1})}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{0.20}{0.35}\\\\=0.571428\\\\\approx 0.57[/tex]
Thus, the conditional probability that the second light will be red given that the first light is red is 0.57.
(c)
If two events, say A and B are independent then:
P (A|B) = P (A).
The value of P (R₂ | R₁) = 0.57.
And the value of P (R₂) = 0.45
P (R₂ | R₁) ≠ P (R₂)
Thus, the events R₁ and R₂ are not independent.
(d)
If two events, say A and B are mutually exclusive then:
P (A ∩ B) = 0
The value of P (R₁ ∩ R₂) = 0.20.
Thus, the events R₁ and R₂ are not mutually exclusive.

Find the equation of a line through (-9, 2) perpendicular to y=3x-12
1 point
y=-1/3x-1
y=3x-1
y=1/3x+4
y=-3x-1
9514 1404 393
Answer:
y = -1/3x -1
Step-by-step explanation:
The perpendicular line will have a slope that is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the given line. The given line's slope is the coefficient of x: 3. So, the perpendicular line's slope will be ...
m = -1/3
Only one answer choice has that value as the coefficient of x:
y = -1/3x -1
You are playing a video game. For each diamond you collect, you earn 110 points. You also earn 80 bonus points by completing the level in less than 2 minutes. You need to earn more than 1620 points to continue on to the next level. Write and solve an inequality that represents the numbers d of diamonds you must collect in less than 2 minutes to advance to the next level.
Answer:
110d + 80 > 1620
d > 14
Step-by-step explanation:
The amount of points from collecting diamonds can be represented by 110d, since you get 110 points for each diamond, d
Add 80 to this to represent the bonus points.
Use a greater than inequality, because you have to get more than 1620 points.
Put this all together:
110d + 80 > 1620
Then, solve for d:
110d + 80 > 1620
110d > 1540
d > 14
So, you have to collect more than 14 diamonds in less than 2 minutes in order to advance to the next level.

Last year, 50 students attended the winter carnival. This year, 60 students attended the carnival. Which statement below correctly describes the percent
change from last year to this year?
A
An increase of 10%
B
A decrease of 10%
С
An increase of 20%
D
A decrease of 20%
Answer:
C. An increase of 20%
Step-by-step explanation:
50/100 = 60/x
Cross products
50 x = 6000
Divide 50 by both sides
x = 120
60 is 120% of 50, so there is a 20% increase

Maria makes money
by commission rates.
She gets 15% of
everything she sells. If
Maria sold $23,000
worth of items this
month, what is her
salary for the month?
Show your work on
the slide!
Answer:
Monthly salary = $3450
Step-by-step explanation:
In this problem, it is given that, Maria gets 15% of everything she sells. If Maria sold $23,000 worth of items this month, we need to find her salary for the month.
It means we need to find the 15% of $23,000 to find her salary. Let the salary be x.
ATQ,
[tex]x=15\%\ \text{of}\ 23000\\\\x=\dfrac{15}{100}\times 23000\\\\x=\$3450[/tex]
Hence, her salary for the month is $3450.
Salary of Maria for the month is $3,450
Given that;
Amount of item sold by Maria = $23,000
Percentage of commission = 15%
Find:
Salary of Maria for the month
Computation:
Salary of Maria for the month = Amount of item sold by Maria × Percentage of commission
Salary of Maria for the month = $23,000 × 15%
Salary of Maria for the month = $3,450

If f(x) and its inverse function, f'(x), are both plotted on the same coordinate plane, what is their point of
intersection?
Answer:
The plot coordinates are (3,3).
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
A function f(x) and its inverse is f-1(x)
To find :
The plot of the coordinates for the intersection.
Solution:
Now we know that inverse function is changing the y=f(x) and then
changing to x to y and y to x
So given function is f(x)
Inverse function is y,
But value of inverse function is f-1(x)
So y=f(x)=f-1(x)
Therefore it becomes
y=x
Hence the value is y=x coordinates
