Complete Question

The amounts a soft drink machine is designed to dispense for each drink are normally distributed, with a mean of 12.1 fluid ounces and a standard deviation of 0.3 fluid ounce. A drink is randomly selected.

Required:

a) Find the probability that the drink is less than 11.9 fluid ounces

b) Find the probability that the drink is between 11.6 and 11.9 fluid ounces

c) Find the probability that the drink is more than 12.6 fluid ounces. Can this be considered an unusual​ event? Explain your reasoning.

Answer:

a

  [tex] P(X < 11.9 ) =  0.25239  [/tex ]  

b

  [tex]P(  11.6 < X < 11.9 ) =  0.20463 [/tex]

c

  [tex] P(X > 12.6 ) =  0.047757  [/tex ]  

Yes  It is an unusual event

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The mean is  [tex]\mu = 12.1[/tex]

   The standard deviation is  [tex]\sigma =0.3[/tex]

Generally the probability that the drink is less than 11.9 fluid ounces is mathematically represented as

      P(X < 11.9 ) =  P(\frac{X -\mu}{\sigma } < \frac{11.9 - 12.1}{0.3} )

   [tex]\frac{X -\mu}{\sigma }  =  Z (The  \ standardized \  value\  of  \ X )[/tex]

      [tex] P(X < 11.9 ) =  P(Z< -0.667 ) [/tex ]

From the z table  the area under the normal curve to the left corresponding to -0.667  is

P(Z< -0.667 ) = 0.25239

So

[tex] P(X < 11.9 ) =  0.25239  [/tex ]  

Generally the  probability that the drink is between 11.6 and 11.9 fluid ounces is mathematically represented as

[tex] P(  11.6 < X < 11.9 ) =  P(  \frac{11.6 -12.1}{0.3} < \frac{X -\mu}{\sigma } < \frac{11.9 - 12.1}{0.3} ) [/tex]

   [tex]P(  11.6 < X < 11.9 ) =  P( -1.667 < Z < -0.667 ) [/tex]

=> [tex]P(  11.6 < X < 11.9 ) =  P( Z < -0.667) -  P ( Z < -1.667 ) [/tex]

From the z table  the area under the normal curve to the left corresponding to  -1.667  is

  P(Z< -1.667 ) = 0.047757

So

       [tex]P(  11.6 < X < 11.9 ) =  0.25239  - 0.047757 [/tex]

=>      [tex]P(  11.6 < X < 11.9 ) =  0.20463 [/tex]

Generally the probability that the drink is more than 12.6 fluid ounces is mathematically represented as

         P(X > 12.6 ) =  P(\frac{X -\mu}{\sigma } > \frac{12.6 - 12.1}{0.3} )

      [tex] P(X >12.6 ) =  P(Z> 1.667 ) [/tex ]

From the z table  the area under the normal curve to the right corresponding to 1.667  is

P(Z> 1.667 ) = 0.047757

So

[tex] P(X > 12.6 ) =  0.047757  [/tex ]        

Given that this probability is less than 0.05 , it mean it is an unusual​ event

Answers

Answer:

The answer is 35

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, note that 56 is the same as 56/1 since 56 divided by 1 is 56. Therefore, start by setting up the problem like this:

Step 1: 56/1 x 8/5 =

Step 2: Multiply the numerators together (56 x 8 = 448) and multiply the denominators together (1 x 5 = 5) and make it into one fraction like so 448/5 Step 3: Convert the improper fraction above to a mixed number to get the answer: 89 3/5

he

Addit

Answers

Answer:

It will take them (Matt and Chris) 0.395 hours to be 64 miles apart

It will take 5.5 hours for the boats to be 66 miles apart

Step-by-step explanation:

We are to determine the time when Matt and Chris will be 64 miles apart, that is, when the total distance traveled by both of them will be 64 miles.

Let the time be t and

Let the distance covered by Matt be S₁ and the distance covered by Chris be S₂.

For Matt,

From the question, Matt drives at a speed of 79 miles per hour

From the formula

Distance = Speed × Time

S = v × t

∴ S₁ = 79×t

S₁ = 79t

For Chris,

From the question, Chris drives at a speed of 83 miles per hour

Using the same formula,

∴ S₂ = 83 × t

S₂ = 83t

To determine when they will be 64 miles apart, that is when S₁ + S₂ = 64 miles.

Hence,

S₁ + S₂ = 79t + 83t

∴64 = 79t + 83t

64 = 162t

t = 64/162

t = 0.395 hours

Hence, it will take them 0.395 hours to be 64 miles apart.

For the boats,

To determine how many hours it will take them to be 66 miles apart, that is when the total distance traveled by the two boats will be 66 miles.

Let the time be t and

Let the distance traveled by the northbound boat be S₁ and the distance traveled by the southbound both be S₂.

From the question,

The northbound boat travels five miles per hour

From the formula

Velocity = Distance / Time

Then, Distance = Velocity × Time

That is, S = v × t

Hence, for the northbound boat,

S = S₁

v = 5 miles per hour

∴ S₁ = 5t

Also from the question,

The  southbound boat goes seven miles per hour

Hence, for the southbound boat

S = S₂

v = 7 miles per hour

∴ S₂ = 7t

To determine when the boats will be 66 miles apart, that is when S₁ + S₂ = 66 miles

Then,

S₁ + S₂ = 5t + 7t

Hence,

66 = 5t + 7t

66 = 12t

t = 66/12

t = 5.5 hours

Hence, it will take 5.5 hours for the boats to be 66 miles apart.

Suppose a team is to be formed consisting of a head chef, sous chef, and dishwasher, in that order. What is the probability of forming such a team with 6 people?

Answers

Answer:

0.0083

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information;

The total number of individual in the team = 3

The number of ways the team, which comprises of head chef, sous chef, and dishwasher can be arranged = [tex]^{6}P_3[/tex]

Answer:

b. To provide an idea of what the population standard deviation might be

Step-by-step explanation:

Pilot sample can be regarded as the

small scale preliminary experiment whereby a smaller size of samples which is smaller compare to expected size is taken population of interest which gives the estimate for the population standard deviation.

The population standard mean is a parameter and it's been calculated from every entity of the population and

can be calculated using below formula

σ =√Σ (xi -μ)^2 /N

Where N= size of the population

σ= population standard mean

μ= population mean

Xi=each sample from the population

What is the measure of an angle if the measures of its two adjacent supplementary angles add up to 100°?

The answer is not 80 btw

Answers

Answer:  130

Explanation:

Let x be the unknown angle we want to find.

Let y be adjacent and supplementary to x. This means x+y = 180

Let z also be adjacent and supplementary to x. So x+z = 180 also

Subtracting the two equations leads to y-z = 0 and y = z. So effectively we've proven the vertical angle theorem.

Since the supplementary angles to x add to 100, we know that y+z = 100. Plug in y = z and solve for z

y+z = 100

z+z = 100

2z = 100

z = 100/2

z = 50

Therefore,

x+z = 180

x+50 = 180

x = 180-50

x = 130

Answer:

130°

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the unknown angle we want to find.

Let y be adjacent and supplementary to x. This means x+y = 180

Let z also be adjacent and supplementary to x. So x+z = 180 also

Subtracting the two equations leads to y-z = 0 and y = z. So effectively we've proven the vertical angle theorem.

Since the supplementary angles to x add to 100, we know that y+z = 100. Plug in y = z and solve for z

y+z = 100

z+z = 100

2z = 100

z = 100/2

z = 50

Therefore,

x+z = 180

x+50 = 180

x = 180-50

x = 130
