The distribution of number of hours worked by volunteers last year at a large hospital is approximately normal with mean 80 and standard deviation 7. Volunteers in the top 20 percent of hours worked will
receive a certificate of merit. If a volunteer from last year is selected at random, which of the following is closest to the probability that the volunteer selected will receive a certificate of merit given that the
number of hours the volunteer worked is less than 90?
A 0.077
B 0.123
C 0 0.618
D 0.618
E 0.923

Jeffery conducted a survey in his school and found that 30 of the 50 eighth grade students' favorite subject is mathematics. based on the results, jeffery concluded that out of the 200 students in his school, 120 students' favorite subject is mathematics. select the statement that is true about jeffery's conclusion. a. jeffery's conclusion is not valid because the sample was biased since only 200 students were surveyed. b. jeffery's conclusion is valid because the sample was random since all of the students were eighth grade students. c. jeffery's conclusion is valid because the sample was random. d. jeffery's conclusion is not valid because the sample was biased since all of the students were eighth grade students.

Question 1 of 10 2 points different groups of 50 graduates of an engineering school were asked the starting annual salary for their first engineering job after graduation, and the sampling variability was low. if the average salary of one of the groups was $65,000, which of these is least likely to be the average salary of another of the groups? o a. $64,000 o b. $65,000 o c. $67,000 o d. $54,000

Acaterer knows he will need 60, 50, 80, 40 and 50 dinner napkins on five successive evenings. he can purchase new napkins initially at 25 cents each, after which he can have dirty napkins laundered by a fast one-day laundry service (i. e., dirty napkins given at the end of the day will be ready for use the following day) at 15 cents each, or by a slow two-day service at 8 cents each or both. the caterer wants to know how many napkins he should purchase initially and how many dirty napkins should be laundered by fast and slow service on each of the days in order to minimize his total costs. formulate the caterer’s problem as a linear program as follows (you must state any assumptions you make): a. define all variables clearly. how many are there? b. write out the constraints that must be satisfied, briefly explaining each. (do not simplify.) write out the objective function to be minimized. (do not simplify.)
