The packing machine is set to fill a cardboard box with a mean of 16.1 ounces of cereal. Suppose the amounts per box form a normal distribution with a standard deviation equal to 0.04 ounce.
(a) What is the probability of the boxes will end up with at least 1 pound of cereal?
(b) The seventy percent of the boxes will contain less than what number of ounces?
(c) Eighty percent of the boxes will contain more than what number of ounces?
(d) The middle 90% of the boxes will be between what two weights?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) 0.9938 = 99.38% probability that the boxes will end up with at least 1 pound of cereal

b) 16.121 ounces.

c) 16.0664 ounces.

d) Between 16.0342 and 16.1658 ounces.

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 16.1 ounces, standard deviation of 0.04 ounces. So

[tex]\mu = 16.1, \sigma = 0.04[/tex]

(a) What is the probability of the boxes will end up with at least 1 pound of cereal?

One pound is 16 ounces, so this is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 16. So

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

[tex]Z = \frac{16 - 16.1}{0.04}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2.5[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2.5[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.0062

1 - 0.0062 = 0.9938

0.9938 = 99.38% probability that the boxes will end up with at least 1 pound of cereal.

(b) The seventy percent of the boxes will contain less than what number of ounces?

Less than the 70th percentile, which is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.7. So X when Z = 0.525.

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

[tex]0.525 = \frac{X - 16.1}{0.04}[/tex]

[tex]X - 16.1 = 0.525*0.04[/tex]

[tex]X = 16.121[/tex]

16.121 ounces.

(c) Eighty percent of the boxes will contain more than what number of ounces?

More than the 100 - 80 = 20th percentile, which is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.2. So X when Z = -0.84.

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

[tex]-0.84 = \frac{X - 16.1}{0.04}[/tex]

[tex]X - 16.1 = -0.84*0.04[/tex]

[tex]X = 16.0664[/tex]

16.0664 ounces.

(d) The middle 90% of the boxes will be between what two weights?

Between the 50 - (90/2) = 5th percentile and the 50 + (90/2) = 95th percentile.

5th percentile:

X when Z has a pvalue of 0.05, so X when Z = -1.645.

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

[tex]-1.645 = \frac{X - 16.1}{0.04}[/tex]

[tex]X - 16.1 = -1.645*0.04[/tex]

[tex]X = 16.0342[/tex]

95th percentile:

X when Z has a pvalue of 0.95, so X when Z = 1.645.

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

[tex]1.645 = \frac{X - 16.1}{0.04}[/tex]

[tex]X - 16.1 = 1.645*0.04[/tex]

[tex]X = 16.1658[/tex]

Between 16.0342 and 16.1658 ounces.

Answer 2

It can be deduced that the probability of the boxes ending up with at least 1 pound of cereal will be 99.38%.

How to calculate the probability

The Z score based on the information will be:

Z = (16 - 16.1) / 0.04

Z = -2.5

Therefore, the p value is 0.0062. The probability will be:

= 1 - 0.0062

= 0.9938

The seventy percent of the boxes will contain less than 16 ounces. The ounces that will be contained in the eighty percent will be:

= -0.84 = (X - 16.1) / 0.04

X = 16

Lastly, the middle 90% of the boxes will be between 16.03 ounces 16.17 ounces.

A fair die is rolled four times. Calculate the probability of obtaining exactly two 4s.

Answers

Answer:

The probability of getting two 4s is 5.55%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since fair says is rolled four times, to calculate the probability of obtaining exactly two 4s the following calculations must be performed:

100/6 = 16.6666

0.166666 x 0.166666 = X

0.02777 = X

1 = 100

0.02777 = X

0.02777 x 100 = X

2.77 = X

2.77 x 2 = 5.55

Therefore, the probability of getting two 4s is 5.55%.

The length of a rectangle is 11 units more than its width. The perimeter of the
rectangle is 182 units. Solve for the dimensions of the rectangle. What is the
area of the rectangle?

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

width: 40 unitslength: 51 unitsarea: 2040 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w represent the width of the rectangle. Then w+11 is the length. The perimeter is given by ...

  P = 2(L +W)

  182 = 2((w+11) +w)

  182 = 4w +22 . . . . . simplify

  160 = 4w . . . . . . . . . subtract 22

  40 = w . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 4

  40 +11 = length = 51 . . . . determine length

The dimensions of the rectangle are 40 × 51 units.

__

The area of the rectangle is ...

  A = LW

  A = (51)(40) = 2040 . . . . square units

The area is 2040 square units.

_____

Additional comment

The perimeter of a rectangle is double the sum of length and width, so that sum is 182/2 = 91 units. Now, this is a "sum and difference" problem, where the sum of length and width is 91, and the difference is 11. The solutions to such a problem are half the sum and half the difference of these numbers. Above, we found the smaller dimension (width) first: (91-11)/2 = 40. We could have found the length as (91+11)/2 = 51. The knowledge of the general solution to "sum and difference" problems often lets you work them with mental arithmetic.

If the process is in control, the larger samples should have less variance and should fall - Select your answer (closerfarther) to 12.5

Answers

Answer:

1a) UCL = 14.2

    LCL = 10.9

b) UCL = 15.63

    LCL = 9.37

c) UCL = 16.48

   LCL = 8.52

2) The difference between the limits falls close together as n increases

and the difference between the limits  falls farther away from 12.5

Step-by-step explanation:

mean ( μ ) = 12.5

std ( б ) = 1.1

UCL = μ + ( n - 1 ) б / √n

LCL = μ - ( n - 1 ) б / √n

1) a) Given  n = 4

UCL = 12.5 + ( 3 ) * 1.1 / 2

       = 12.5 + 3.3/2 = 14.15 ≈ 14.2

LCL = 12.5 - 3.3/2 = 10.85 ≈ 10.9

b) Given n = 10

UCL = 12.5 + ( 9 ) * 1.1 /√10

       = 12.5 + 3.13 = 15.63

LCL = 12.5 - 3.13 = 9.37

c) Given n = 15

UCL = 12.5 + 14 * 1.1 / √15

       = 12.5 + 3.98 = 16.48

LCL = 12.5 - 3.98 = 8.52

2) As the sample size increases the difference between the limits of the control chart decreases

Hence the difference falls close together as n increases

and the difference between the limits  falls farther away from 12.5

Filling in the given values gives you two equations.

  7 = a(2) +b

  -1 = a(1) +b

Subtracting the second equation from the first gives ...

  (7) -(-1) = (2a +b) -(a +b)

  8 = a . . . . . simplify

Using this value in the first equation gives ...

  7 = (8)(2) +b

  b = 7 -16 = -9

The constants are a = 8, b = -9.
