Olive weights are classified according to a unique set of adjectives implying great size. For example, the mean weight of olives classified as "Colossal" is 7.7 grams. Suppose a particular company’s crop of "Colossal" olives is approximately Normally distributed with a mean of 7.7 grams and a standard deviation of 0.2 grams. Which of the following represents the probability that the mean weight of a random sample of 3 olives from this population is greater than 8 grams?

a. 0.0970
b. 0.9953
c. 0.0668
d. 0.0047
e. 0.1932

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

d. 0.0047

Step-by-step explanation:

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

Normal probability distribution

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore 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 pvalue, 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.

Population:

We have that [tex]\mu = 7.7, \sigma = 0.2[/tex]

Sample of 3:

[tex]n = 3, s = \frac{0.2}{\sqrt{3}} = 0.1155[/tex]

Which of the following represents the probability that the mean weight of a random sample of 3 olives from this population is greater than 8 grams?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 8. So

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

[tex]Z = \frac{8 - 7.7}{0.1155}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2.6[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2.6[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.9953

1 - 0.9953 = 0.0047

The probability is given by option d.

Answer 2

You can calculate the z score for the specified sample and then use the z tables to find the p value(probability) needed.

The probability that the mean weight of a random sample of 3 olives from this population is greater than 8 grams is given by

Option d : 0.0047

How to find the z score for a sample taken from a normal distribution holding random variate?

Suppose that the sample is of size 'n', then we have the z score(we are converting random variable X to standard random variable Z) as:

[tex]Z = \dfrac{X - \overline{x}}{s} = \dfrac{X - \mu}{\sigma/\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

where [tex]\overline{x}[/tex] is mean of the sample

s is the standard deviation of the sample,

and we used the central limit theorem which says that a sample from a normally distributed population with [tex]mean = \mu[/tex] and standard deviation = [tex]\sigma[/tex] can have its mean approximated by population mean and its standard deviation approximated by [tex]s = \dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

Using the data given to find the intended probability

Let the weight of the the olives for the given crop of olives of a particular company for taken random sample is given by X (a random variable)

Then, we have:

[tex]X \sim N(7.7, 0.2)[/tex]

where

[tex]\mu = 7.7, \sigma = 0.2[/tex]

Thus, we have:

[tex]\overline{x} = \mu, s = \sigma/\sqrt{n} = 0.2/\sqrt{3}[/tex]

Using the given facts, we get the needed probability as:

[tex]P( X> 8)[/tex] sample size n  = 3)

Then, using the z score, we get):

[tex]P(X > 8) = 1 - P(X \leq 8) = 1 - P(Z \leq \dfrac{8 - 7.7}{0.2/\sqrt{3}})\\\\P(X > 8)=1- P(Z \leq \dfrac{0.3\sqrt{3}}{0.2}) = 1- P(Z \leq 1.5 \times \sqrt{3} )\\\\P(X > 8) = 1 - P(Z \leq 2.59) = 1- 0.9952 \approx 0.0047[/tex]

Thus,

The probability that the mean weight of a random sample of 3 olives from this population is greater than 8 grams is given by

Option d : 0.0047

quadrilateral ABCD is a kite with an area of 14cm squared. the length of ED is 5 cm. what is the length of BE?

Answers

Answer:

85

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of BE is 5.6 cm.

What is a quadrilateral?

Any closed figure made by 4 line segments joined end to end in series is called a quadrilateral.

The area of a kite can be calculated as;

A = d1 x d2 / 2

WE are given the parameters as;

d1 = ED = 5 units

A quadrilateral ABCD is a kite with an area of 14cm squared.

Therefore,

14 = 5 x BE / 2

14 x 2 = 5  BE

Answers

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Jackson has 7 1/2 hours to spend at the amusement park, he has already spent 1 1/2 of those hours at the water park (We will need this shortly). Since he has 6 hours remaining and 3 parks to go, he can't spend more than 7 1/2 hours at the park. This means that the answer will have to be less than or equal to. Finally, it would be D because he can spend any amount of time at the other 3 parks (x) plus the 1 12 hours he already spent.

Armando has 3 blue shirts, 3 green shirts,

and 2 red shirts. He has 3 pairs of jeans

and 4 pairs of cargo pants. He is equally

likely to wear any of the shirts with any

pair of pants. What is the probability that

Armando will wear a green shirt with cargo pants?

Answers

Answer:

0.2143 = 21.43% probability that Armando will wear a green shirt with cargo pants.

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

Probability of independent events:

The probability of two independent events is the multiplication of their separate probabilities.

Green shirt:

3 green shirts, out of 3 + 3 + 2 = 8 shirts.

So 3/8 probability of green shirts.

Cargo pants:

4 cargo pants, our of 4 + 3 = 7.

So 4/7 probability of cargo shirts.

Green shirt and cargo pants:

[tex]p = \frac{3}{8} \times {4}{7} = \frac{12}{56} = \frac{3}{14} = 0.2143[/tex]

0.2143 = 21.43% probability that Armando will wear a green shirt with cargo pants.

y = - 4x +8
y = -8x4
y = 8x+4

Answers

The other person is wrong, and none of them are correct since the first and third one are the same, it should be -8x+4

The equation y = -8x + 4 represents the given problem.

What is slope and y-intercept?

'The slope of the line is the ratio of the rise to the run, or rise divided by the run. It describes the steepness of line in the coordinate plane.

An intercept is a point on the y-axis, through which the slope of the line passes. It is the y-coordinate of a point where a straight line or a curve intersects the y-axis.'

According to the given problem,

We know,

Equation of a line can be represented as,

y = mx + c, where, m = slope  

                              c = y-intercept                                            

Slope of the line = -8

Y-intercept of the line = 4

Therefore,

The equation of the line:

⇒ y = -8 + 4

Hence, we can conclude, the equation y = -8x + 4 represents the given line.

Starting at 1:00 p.M., The temperature changes -4 degrees Fahrenheit per hour. Write and solve an equation to find how many hours (x) it will take to reach -1 °F. please say the equation.

Answers

Answer:

0.25 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for a linear function is given by:

y = mx + b,

where y and x are variables, m is the rate of change of y with respect to x and b is the initial value of y (value of y when x = 0).

Let x represent the number of hours after 1:00 P.M and let y represent the temperature in degree Fahrenheit.

Let us assume that initial the temperature is 0°F. The temperature changes -4 degrees Fahrenheit per hour. From the equation of a linear function y = mx + b:

m = -4 degrees Fahrenheit per hour, b = 0. Hence:

y = -4x

The time taken to reach -1°F is gotten by substituting y = -1 and finding x:

y = -4x

substituting:

-1 = -4x

x = -1 / -4

x = 0.25 hours

0.25 hours = 0.25 hours * 60 minute / 1 hour = 15 minute

Therefore at 1:15 P.M, the temperature is -1°F
