Canine Crunchies Inc. (CCI) sells bags of dog food to warehouse clubs. CCI uses an automatic filling process to fill the bags. Weights of the filled bags are approximately normally distributed with a mean of 45 kilograms and a standard deviation of 1.2 kilograms.

Requried:
a. What is the probability that a filled bag will weigh less than 49.5 kilograms?
b. What is the probability that a randomly sampled filled bag will weight between 48.5 and 51 kilograms?
c. What is the minimum weight a bag of dog food could be and remain in the top 15% of all bags filled?
d. CCI is unable to adjust the mean of the filling process. However, it is able to adjust the standard deviation of the filling process. What would the standard deviation need to be so that no more than 2% of all filled bags weigh more than 52 kilograms?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) 0.9999 = 99.99% probability that a filled bag will weigh less than 49.5 kilograms

b) 0.0018 = 0.18% probability that a randomly sampled filled bag will weight between 48.5 and 51 kilograms.

c) 46.24 kilograms

d) The standard deviation would have to be of 3.41 kilograms.

Step-by-step explanation:

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.

Mean of 45 kilograms and a standard deviation of 1.2 kilograms.

This means that [tex]\mu = 45, \sigma = 1.2[/tex]

a. What is the probability that a filled bag will weigh less than 49.5 kilograms?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 49.5. So

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

[tex]Z = \frac{49.5 - 45}{1.2}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 3.75[/tex]

[tex]Z = 3.75[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.9999

0.9999 = 99.99% probability that a filled bag will weigh less than 49.5 kilograms

b. What is the probability that a randomly sampled filled bag will weight between 48.5 and 51 kilograms?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 51 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 48.5.

X = 51

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

[tex]Z = \frac{51 - 45}{1.2}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 5[/tex]

[tex]Z = 5[/tex] has a pvalue of 1

X = 48.5

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

[tex]Z = \frac{48.5 - 45}{1.2}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2.92[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2.92[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.9982

1 - 0.9982 = 0.0018

0.0018 = 0.18% probability that a randomly sampled filled bag will weight between 48.5 and 51 kilograms.

c. What is the minimum weight a bag of dog food could be and remain in the top 15% of all bags filled?

This is the 100 - 15 = 85th percentile, which is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.85. So X when Z = 1.037

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

[tex]1.037 = \frac{X - 45}{1.2}[/tex]

[tex]X - 45 = 1.037*1.2[/tex]

[tex]X = 46.24[/tex]

46.24 kilograms.

d. CCI is unable to adjust the mean of the filling process. However, it is able to adjust the standard deviation of the filling process. What would the standard deviation need to be so that no more than 2% of all filled bags weigh more than 52 kilograms?

X = 52 would have to be the 100 - 2 = 98th percentile, which is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.98, so X when Z = 2.054. We would need to find the value of [tex]\sigma[/tex] for this.

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

[tex]2.054 = \frac{52 - 45}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]2.054\sigma = 7[/tex]

[tex]\sigma = \frac{7}{2.054}[/tex]

[tex]\sigma = 3.41[/tex]

The standard deviation would have to be of 3.41 kilograms.

Which similarity statement and justification correctly identifies the triangles'

relationship? *

Help plz

Answers

Answer:

(c) [tex]\triangle ABC[/tex] to [tex]\triangle EDC[/tex] by AA

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for triangles

Required

The relationship between both triangles

First, we determine the corresponding sides.

The corresponding sides will be determined based on the length of each side (i.e. bigger sides correspond while smaller sides correspond).

So, we have:

[tex]AC\ to\ EC[/tex]

[tex]BC\ to\ DC[/tex]

Next, is to name the triangle base on the corresponding sides

The names will be: [tex]\triangle ABC[/tex] and [tex]\triangle EDC[/tex]

Lastly, is to check the scale ratio (k).

For both triangles to correspond, the scale ratio must be the same

So:

[tex]k = \frac{EC}{AC} = \frac{DC}{BC}[/tex]

[tex]k = \frac{8}{6} = \frac{12}{9}[/tex]

[tex]k = \frac{4}{3} = \frac{4}{3}[/tex]

[tex]k = \frac{4}{3}[/tex]

Hence, the theorem is: [tex]\triangle ABC[/tex] to [tex]\triangle EDC[/tex] by AA

the price per gallon of gas with a $7 car wash is $3.19 and the price without the car wash is $3.39. When is it worth it to buy the car wash? When is it worth it if the car wash costs $2?

Answers

Answer:

The price per gallon of gas with a $7 car wash is $3.19

Then if you purchase x gallons of gas and also pay for the car wash, the total cost is:

C(x) = $7 + $3.19*x

In the case that you do not pay for the car wash, the cost per gallon is $3.39

Then the cost for x gallons of gas in this case is:

K(x) = $3.39*x

When is it worth it to buy the car wash?

We need to sett the equations:

C(x) = K(x)

This means that you pay exactly the same in both cases, but in one ( C(x)) you get the car wash and in the other not.

Then we need to solve:

$7 + $3.19*x = $3.39*x

$7 = ($3.39 - $3.19)*x = $0.20*x

$7/$0.20 = x = 35

Then for 35 gallons, is worth to buy the car wash.

In the case where the car wash costs $2, then the equation C(x) becomes:

C(x) = $2 + $3.19*x

Then if we solve the same equation:

C(x)  =K(x)

$2 + $3.19*x = $3.39*x

$2 = ($3.39 - $3.19)*x

$2 = $0.20*x

$2/$0.20 = x

10 = x

Then for 10 galons is whort  buy the car wash.

A ceramic vase was originally priced at $100 but went on sale for 50% off. If Ernesto bought the ceramic vase and paid 12% sales tax, how much did he pay in total?

Answers

Answer: he payed $56 in total

Explanation:
50% of 100 is 50.
50 time 1.12 is 56

Ernesto bought the ceramic vase for $56 including 12% tax.

What is the percentage?

A percentage is a value per hundredth. Percentages can be converted into decimals and fractions by dividing the percentage value by a hundred.

Given, A ceramic vase was originally priced at $100 but went on sale for 50% off.

∴ The discounted price is (50/100)×100 = $50.

Now after Ernesto bought the ceramic vase he had to pay a tax of 12%.

∴ {(100 + 12)/100}×50.

= (112/100)×50.

= 56.

So he paid $56 including 12% tax.

Joseph drove to his grandmother's house which is 279 miles away in 4.5 hours. If he continues at the same speed, approximately how long will it take him to drive 325 miles?

Answers

Answer:

5.24 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

I like to set these up as ratios.

279 miles/4.5 hours = 325 miles/ x hours

Then cross multiply

279x = 4.5 x 325

279x = 1462.5

divide both sides by 279

x = 5.24 hours

You can also solve 279 miles/4.5 hours to get the miles per hour driven, then divide 325 by that number:

279/4.5 = 62mph

325/62 = 5.24

Answer:

2/3x+8=y

Step-by-step explanation:

8x-12y=-96

8x+96=12y

8/12x+8=y

2/3x+8=y

The equation 8x – 12y = -96 of a line into slope-intercept form, simplifying all fractions, is 3y = 2x + 24.

What is equation?

Two expressions with variables or integers are said to be equal when they are declared to be in an equation. Since equations are essential questions, efforts to methodically find answers to these questions have been the inspiration for the development of mathematics.

Given:

The equation, E = 8x – 12y = -96,

The standard intercept form of a line,

[tex]y = mx + c[/tex]

Here m is the slope,

For this form, arrange the equation,

– 12y = -8x - 96

(Do multiplication of  -1/ 4 on both sides)

3y = 2x + 24

Therefore, the equation 8x – 12y = -96 of a line into slope-intercept form, simplifying all fractions is 3y = 2x + 24.
