Question 6
A machine is used to fill bags with a popular brand of trail mix. The machine is calibrated so the distribution of the weights of the bags of trail mix is normal,
with mean 240 grams and standard deviation 3 grams. Of the following, which is the least weight of a bag in the top 5 percent of the distribution?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

D. 246 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

invnorm(.95, 240, 3) is around 244 and the question is asking for the least weight of a bag in the top 95%, so the smallest number within

a. 234

b. 240

c. 243

d. 246

e. 248

is d.

Answer 2

The distribution of the mix follows inverse normal distribution

The least weight of a bag in the top 5% is 246 grams

The given parameters are:

[tex]\mathbf{\mu = 240}[/tex] ---- population mean

[tex]\mathbf{\sigma = 3}[/tex] ---- population standard deviation

To get the least weight of a bag in the top 5%, we make use of inverse normal distribution.

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{Least = invNorm(p,[\mu,\sigma])}[/tex]

Being in the top 5% means that:

p = 1 - 5%

p = 1 - 0.05

p = 0.95

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{Least = invNorm(0.95,240,3)}[/tex]

From the inverse normal calculator, we have

[tex]\mathbf{Least = 246}[/tex]

Hence, the least weight is 246 grams

Answers

Answer:

C) 8 : 14

Step-by-step explanation:

From the Question, we have

Six butterfly stroke laps

Eight freestyle Laps.

Total number of laps = (6 + 8)laps

= 14 laps

Hence,

The ratio of freestyle laps to total laps is:

Freestyle laps : Total laps

= 8 : 14

Answers

Answer:

Option A

The system of inequalities

x + y ≤ 200

4x + 3y ≤ 750

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the

Number of Adults = x

Number of campers = y

A summer camp cookout is planned for the campers and their families.

There is room for 200 people.

x + y ≤ 200

Each adult costs $4, and and each camper costs $3. There is a maximum budget of $750.

Maximum means the total cost is equal to or less than $750

$4 × x + $3 × y ≤ $750

4x + 3y ≤ 750

The system of inequalities

x + y ≤ 200

4x + 3y ≤ 750

Option A is correct

what is the slope of the line
2x+12y-192

Answers

Answer:

-1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the slope we need the equation in the form y=mx+c, and m is the slope.

2x+12y=192

12y = -2x + 192

y = -2/12 x + 16

-2/12 is the slope but this can be simplified to -1/6

S

Answers

Answer:

CD = 25 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex] \triangle CDE \sim \triangle RST[/tex]

[tex]\therefore \frac{CD}{20}=\frac{40}{32}[/tex]

(Corresponding sides of similar triangles are in proportion)

[tex]\therefore \frac{CD}{20}=\frac{5}{4}[/tex]

[tex]\therefore CD = \frac{5}{\cancel 4}\times \cancel {20} \:\:\blue{\bold{5}} [/tex]

[tex]\therefore CD = 5\times 5[/tex]

[tex]\therefore CD = 25\: ft[/tex]

Answer:

CD = 25 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangles are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

[tex]\frac{CD}{RS}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{CE}{RT}[/tex] , substitute values

[tex]\frac{CD}{20}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{40}{32}[/tex]  ( cross- multiply )

32CD = 800 ( divide both sides by 32 )

CD = 25
