A certain brand of candies have a mean weight of 0.8616g and a standard deviation of 0.0518 based on the sample of a package containing 447 candies. The package label stated that the net weight is 381.8g If every package has 447 candies the mean weight of the candies must exceed 381.8/447=0.8542 for the net contents to weight at least 381.8g.
a) If 1 candy is reandomly selected, find the probability that it weights more than 0.8542g.
The probability is ________.
(round to four decimal places as needed)
b) If 447 candies are reandomly selected find the probability that their mean weight is at least 0.8542 g.
the probability that a sample of 447 candies will have a mean of 0.8542g or greater is __________.
(round to four decimal places as needed)
c) Given these results does it seem that the candy company is providing consumers with the amount claimed on the label?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) The probability is 0.5557 = 55.57%.

b) The probability that a sample of 447 candies will have a mean of 0.8542g or greater is 0.9987 = 99.87%.

c) Yes, because there is a very large probability, of 99.87%, that the amount will be at least the one claimed on the label.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

Mean weight of 0.8616g and a standard deviation of 0.0518

This means that [tex]\mu = 0.8616, \sigma = 0.0518[/tex]

a) If 1 candy is reandomly selected, find the probability that it weights more than 0.8542g.

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 0.8542. So

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{0.8542 - 0.8616}{0.0518}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.14[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.14[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.4443

1 - 0.4443 = 0.5557

The probability is 0.5557 = 55.57%.

b) If 447 candies are reandomly selected find the probability that their mean weight is at least 0.8542 g.

Sample of 447 means that [tex]n = 447, s = \frac{0.0518}{\sqrt{447}} = 0.00245[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

By the Central Limit Theorem

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{0.8542 - 0.8616}{0.0245}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -3.02[/tex]

[tex]Z = -3.02[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.0013

1 - 0.0013 = 0.9987

The probability that a sample of 447 candies will have a mean of 0.8542g or greater is 0.9987 = 99.87%.

c) Given these results does it seem that the candy company is providing consumers with the amount claimed on the label?

Yes, because there is a very large probability, of 99.87%, that the amount will be at least the one claimed on the label.

Step-by-step explanation:

The circumference of a circle is 2πr, so you can set it up like this since the circumference was 22π.

2πr = 22π

divide both sides by 2

πr = 11π

divide both sides by π

you get r = 11

So your radius is 11.

To find the area, you must do πr^2 ("^2" means squared)

if you substitute 11 for r you get

11π^2

you can do 11 squared first

11^2 = 121

the area of the circle = 121π

Keep in mind that they said to use 3.14 for π

so you can do 121 x 3.14

Step-by-step explanation:

7. The formula for the volume of a cone can be used.

  V = 1/3πr²h

  h = 3V/(πr²) = 3(48π cm³)/(π(6 cm)²) = 144/36 cm = 4 cm

The height of the cone is 4 cm.

__

8. The volume of the cone with the given dimensions is ...

  V = 1/3π(4 cm)²(11 cm) = 176/3π cm³ ≈ 184.307 cm³

The number of times this volume can be filled by 10 gallons is ...

  (10 gal)(3785 cm³/gal)/(184.307 cm³/cup) = 205.3 cups

206 paper cups are needed.

__

9. We know from the formula for the volume of a cone that it has the same volume as a cylinder 1/3 its height. The composite figure is equivalent to a cylinder with a height of ...

  3 cm +(12 cm)/3 = 7 cm

Then the volume is ...

  V = πr²h

  V = π(5 cm)²(7 cm) = 175π cm³

__

For this, we recognize that the triangle with sides h, 5, and 13 will be a 5-12-13 right triangle, so the height of the conical part of the figure is h=12 cm. If you haven't remembered that Pythagorean triple, you can find the height from the Pythagorean theorem:

  h² +5² = 13²

  h = √(169 -25) = √144 = 12

[tex]K = (-6,4)[/tex]

[tex]L = (-3,4)[/tex]

Image

[tex]J' = (2,9)[/tex]

Which transformation occurred

The transformation that occurs is translation because each of the preimage were translated or shifter right by 8 units.

The rule applied here is:

So, we have:

[tex]J = (-6,9)[/tex] [tex]==> (-6+8,9) = (2,9)[/tex]

[tex]K = (-6,4)[/tex] [tex]==> (-6+8,4) = (2,4)[/tex]

separate random samples of 50 free throws each from Daren and Josh, and
record the proportion of free throws that are made by each. Which of the
following best describes the sampling distribution of PD - Pj?

Answers

Answer:

B) Approximately normal, with mean -0.05 and standard deviation 0.083

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is (B). The shape is approximately normal since the expected number of makes and misses for both Daren and Josh are all greater than 10.

The distribution of pD = pJ is given by: Option B: Approximately normal, with mean -0.05 and standard deviation 0.083

What is the distribution of population proportion?

For large enough sample, let the population proportion of a quantity be denoted by random variable [tex]p[/tex]

Then, we get:

[tex]p \sim N(\hat{p}, \sqrt{\dfrac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}})[/tex]

where

[tex]\hat{p}[/tex] = estimated(mean value) proportion of that quantity, and n = size of sample drawn.
What is the distribution of random variable which is sum of normal distributions?

Suppose that a random variable X is formed by n mutually independent and normally distributed random variables such that:

[tex]X_i = N(\mu_i , \sigma^2_i) ; \: i = 1,2, \cdots, n[/tex]

And if

[tex]X = X_1 + X_2 + \cdots + X_n[/tex]

Then, its distribution is given as:

[tex]X \sim N(\mu_1 + \mu_2 + \cdots + \mu_n, \: \: \sigma^2_1 + \sigma^2_2 + \cdots + \sigma^2_n)[/tex]

Here, we're specified that:

For proportion of correct free throw attempts by Daren:

Sample size = n = 50Estimated proportion = [tex]\hat{p}_D = 75\% = 0.75[/tex]Let the population proportion be represented by variable [tex]p_D[/tex]

For proportion of correct free throw attempts by Josh:

Sample size = n = 50Estimated proportion = [tex]\hat{p}_J = 80\% = 0.8[/tex]Let the population proportion be represented by variable [tex]p_J[/tex]

And therefore, we have:

[tex]p_D \sim N\left (0.75, \sqrt{\dfrac{0.75 \times 0.25}{50}}\right )\\\\p_J \sim N\left (0.80, \sqrt{\dfrac{0.8 \times 0.2}{50}}\right )[/tex]

And therefore, we get:

[tex]-p_J \sim N\left (-0.80, \sqrt{\dfrac{0.8 \times 0.2}{50}}\right )[/tex] (standard deviation doesn't get affected by change of sign of the considered random variable, and mean gets affected linearly, so mean became negative 0.80 and standard deviation stays same).

Adding [tex]p_D[/tex] and [tex]-p_J[/tex], we get:

[tex]p_D + (-p_J) = p_D - p_j \sim N\left (0.75 -0.80, \sqrt{\dfrac{0.8 \times 0.2}{50} + \dfrac{0.75 \times 0.25}{50}}\right )\\\\p_D - p_J \sim N\left( -0.05, 0.0837\right)[/tex]

Thus, the distribution of pD = pJ is given by: Option B: Approximately normal, with mean -0.05 and standard deviation 0.083
