Each month, an American household generates an average of 28 pounds of newspaper for garbage or recycling. Assume the standard d

eviation is 2 pounds. Assume the variable is approximately normally distributed. If a household is selected at random, find the probability of its generating:
1) Between 27 and 31 pounds per month.

2) More than 30.2 pounds per month.

a) For x = 27:

z = 27-28/2 = -0.5

For x = 31:

z = 31-38/2 = 1.5

From the normal distribution table, P(27 < x < 31) = P(-0.5 < z < 1.5) = P(z < 1.5) - P(z < -0.5) = 0.9332 - 0.3085 = 62.47%

b)  For x > 30.2:

z = 30.2-28/2 = 1.1

From the normal distribution table, P(x > 30.2) = P(z > 1.1) = 1 - P(z > 1.1) = 1 - 0.8643 = 13.57%

This Question is incomplete

Complete Question:

The data represents the number of runs allowed by 8 college softball pitchers. {18, 49, 38, 41, 33, 44, 42, 22}

What is the five number summary:

a) Minimum

b) Q₁

c) Median

d) Q₃

e) Maximum

Answer:

a) Minimum = 18

b) Q₁ = 27.5

c) Median = 39.5

d) Q₃ = 43

e) Maximum = 49

Step-by-step explanation:

From the above diagram, we were given the following set of data.

{18, 49, 38, 41, 33, 44, 42, 22}

Before answering any of the questions, we have to rearrange the data from the lowest to the highest (ascending order). Hence, we have:

{18, 22, 33, 38, 41, 42, 44, 49}

a) Minimum

{18, 22, 33, 38, 41, 42, 44, 49}

Looking at this set of arranged data, the minimum number is the least or lowest number.

This number is 18

b) Q₁

{18, 22, 33, 38, 41, 42, 44, 49}

Q₁ means First Quartile. The formula is = ¼(n + 1)th value

n = Number of terms in the data set = 8

= ¼(8 + 1)th value

= ¼(9)th value

= 2 1/4 value

= 2.25 value

In the above Question, the 2.25 value is the value between the second and third number.

Hence:

22+33/2 = 55/2 = 27.5

Therefore, Q₁ = 27.5

c) Median

{18, 22, 33, 38, 41, 42, 44, 49}

The median of the number is the number in the middle

For this data, we have 8 number, Hence the median is the sum of the 4th and 5th term divided by 2

4th term = 38

5th term = 41

= 38 + 41/ 2 = 79/2

= 39.5

Hence, the median = 39.5

d) Q₃

{18, 22, 33, 38, 41, 42, 44, 49}

Q₃ means Third Quartile. The formula is = ¾(n + 1)th value

n = Number of terms in the data set = 8

= ¾(8 + 1)th value

= ¾(9)th value

= 6 3/4 value

= 6.75 value

In the above Question, the 6.75 value is the value between the sixth and seventh number.

Hence:

42+44/2 = 86/2 = 43

Therefore, Q₃ = 43

e) Maximum

{18, 22, 33, 38, 41, 42, 44, 49}

Looking at this set of arranged data, the Maximum number is the highest number.

This number is 49
