Dhl shipping claims that it ships 95% of its orders within three working days. you select a simple random sample of 100 orders and discover that only 91 of them shipped on time.

a) if dhl really does ship 95% on time, what is the probability that the company shipped 91 or fewer out of 100 orders were shipped on time?

b) a marketer from ups jumps on the research stating, "they claim 95% on time, but by their own research they only ship 91% on time! " provide a rebuttal to the ups marketer in non-statistical terms.

a) 5.4%  

Step-by-step explanation:

a) We will use the binomial distribution, with n = 100 and p(success) = 0.95

We need to calculate

P(X=x) =

P(X ≤91) =  

As we know that binomial distribution can be approximated to normal distribution if np≥5 and nq≥5 as in this case.

Therefore, P(x,n,p) →N

= np = 95

= √npq = 2.`79

P(X≤91) ≅ P(X≤91.5)  = P( Z≤

                                 =  P( Z≤ -1.6)

                                 = 0.054

Probability = 5.4%

b) If the probability was less than 5% then we must say that the DHL Shipping company don not ships 95% of its orders on time but as we can see that the probability is more that 5% that is 5.4%. So, we cannot say that the company does not ships the orders on time. But we cannot say with confirmation, we need more samples so as to judge accordingly.

1. x> -5

2. x< 8

step-by-step explanation:

1. 2x> -10

divide by 2 from both sides of equation.

2x/2> -10/2

simplify, to find the answer.

-10/2=-5

x> -5 is the correct answer.

2. 3x< 24

divide by 3 from both sides of equation.

3x/3< 24/3

simplify, to find the answer.

24/3=8

x< 8 is the correct answer.

i hope this you, and have a wonderful day!
