g Based on data from the Garbage Project conducted by the Midwestern State University the weights of paper discarded by the households in a certain residential area weekly is Normally distributed with the average of 7.95 lb and the standard deviation of 3.12 lb. Which value separates the top 2% of the weekly discarded paper weights in this area

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The value of 14.36 lb separates the top 2% of the weekly discarded paper weights in this area.

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.

Normally distributed with the average of 7.95 lb and the standard deviation of 3.12 lb.

This means that [tex]\mu = 7.95, \sigma = 3.12[/tex]

Which value separates the top 2% of the weekly discarded paper weights in this area?

This is the 100 - 2 = 98th percentile, which is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.98. So X when Z = 2.054.

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

[tex]2.054 = \frac{X - 7.95}{3.12}[/tex]

[tex]X - 7.95 = 2.054*3.12[/tex]

[tex]X = 14.36[/tex]

The value of 14.36 lb separates the top 2% of the weekly discarded paper weights in this area.

A number is added to 12, and the result divided by 2. the answer is the same as you get by subtracting the number from 4. what is the number?​

Answers

Answer:

1 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

(x+12)/2 = 4-x

Step 1, multiply both sides by 2 to remove that pesky fraction. x+12 = 8–2x

Step 2, add 2x to both sides to remove x from the right hand side. 3x+12 = 8

Step 3, minus 12 from both sides, removing it from the left hand side. 3x = -4

Step 4, divide by 3. x = 1 1/3

Answer:

the number is 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation: let x be the missing number

x + 12 ÷ 2 = x - 4

first step: multiply 2 on both sides to get rid of the division

x + 12 ÷ 2 ×  2 = x - 4 × 2

x + 12 = 2x - 8  

second step: add 8 on both sides:

x + 12 + 8 = 2x - 8 + 8

x + 20 = 2x

third step: subtract x on both sides:

x - x + 20 = 2x - x

20 = x

to check: substitute 20 for x

x + 12 ÷ 2 = x - 4

20 + 12 ÷ 2 = 20 - 4

32 ÷ 2 = 16

16 = 16

A right rectangular prism has a volume of 3536 cubic feet, and the length 8 of the base of the prism is 9 feet longer than its width. The height of prism is 26 feet. What are the dimensions of the base of the prism?

Answers

Answer:

Base = 8 * 17

Step-by-step explanation:

(Not sure what the "8" is, assuming an accidental input.)

Base area = 3536/26 = 136

136 = Lw

L = 136/w

L = w + 9

136/w = w + 9

136 = w(w + 9)

136 = w² + 9w

w² + 9w - 136

(w + 17)(w - 8)

Only use the positive result. w = 8

L = 8 + 9 = 17

Edit: Maybe 8 is the answer accidentally included in the question?...

A machine used to fill beverage cans is supposed to supply exactly 16 ounces toeach can, but the actualamount supplied varies randomly from can to can. The machine is calibrated so that the population standard deviation is 0.04 ounces. How many filled cans must be sampled so that we estimate the mean fill volume within 0.015 ounces with 99% confidence

Answers

Answer:

48 cans must be sampled.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our [tex]\alpha[/tex] level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

[tex]\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.99}{2} = 0.005[/tex]

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \alpha[/tex].

That is z with a pvalue of [tex]1 - 0.005 = 0.995[/tex], so Z = 2.575.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

[tex]M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

In which [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

The machine is calibrated so that the population standard deviation is 0.04 ounces.

This means that [tex]\sigma = 0.04[/tex]

How many filled cans must be sampled so that we estimate the mean fill volume within 0.015 ounces with 99% confidence?

n cans must be sampled, and n is found when M = 0.015. So

[tex]M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

[tex]0.015 = 2.575\frac{0.04}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

[tex]0.015\sqrt{n} = 2.575*0.04[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{n} = \frac{2.575*0.04}{0.015}[/tex]

[tex](\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{2.575*0.04}{0.015})^2[/tex]

[tex]n = 47.2[/tex]

Rounding up, 48 cans must be sampled.

15. The dimensions of a triangle
with base 4 m and height
5 m are multiplied by 3. How
is the area affected?

Answers

Answer:

It increases it by 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Base = 4m

Height = 5m

Area of triangle = ½*base*height

Area of triangle = ½*4*5

Area of triangle = 2 * 5

Area of triangle = 10 m²

Multiplying the parameters by 3, we have;

Base = 4 * 3 = 12m

Height = 5 * 3 = 15m

To find the area of triangle;

Area of triangle = ½*base*height

Area of triangle = ½*12*15

Area of triangle = 6 * 15

Area of triangle = 90 m²

Therefore, multiplying the dimensions by a factor of 3 increases the area by 9.

find the greatest 5 digit number which exactly divide by 16, 56 and 120​

Answers

five-digitsinceStep-by-step explanation:

Ummm.....I have never done this before but I THINK what your supposed to do is find the lcm of all the pairs you can get from those 3 numbers.

so lcm(16,56)=112

lcm(56,120)=840

lcm(16,120)=240

Now take any number from this and take the lcm of that

lcm(112,840)=1680

that is the number if you take the lcm of any of them so it is the lcm of them all but it is not a  number. so  16,56, and 120 are divisible by 2 I just multiplied 1680 by 2 until I got the highest possible 5 digit number which was 53760

Step-by-step explanation:

The LCM of 16, 56, 120 can be found from their factors:

  16 = 2^4

  56 = 2^3 · 7

  120 = 2^3 · 3 · 5

So, the least common multiple is 2^4×3×5×7 = 1680.

10^5/1680 = 59 r 880

Describe the shape of the sampling distribution of the sample mean in this case.19b. Find the mean and standard error of the sampling distribution of the sample mean.19c. What is the probability that the mean age exceeds 73 years

Answers

Answer:

a) Approximately normal.

b) The mean is 75 years and the standard deviation is 0.8485 years.

c) 0.9909 = 99.09% probability that the mean age exceeds 73 years

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.

Sample of 50 retirees

This means that [tex]n = 50[/tex]

Mean age and standard deviation are 75 and 6 years

This means that [tex]\mu = 75, \sigma = 6[/tex]

a. Describe the shape of the sampling distribution of the sample mean in this case

By the Central Limit Theorem, approximately normal.

b. Find the mean and standard error of the sampling distribution of the sample mean.

By the Central Limit Theorem, the mean is 75 and the standard error is [tex]s = \frac{6}{\sqrt{50}} = 0.8485[/tex]

c. What is the probability that the mean age exceeds 73 years?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 73.

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

[tex]Z = \frac{73 - 75}{0.8485}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2.36[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2.36[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.0091

1 - 0.0091 = 0.9909

0.9909 = 99.09% probability that the mean age exceeds 73 years
