Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:x+y+z=100(let x ,y,z represent the first second and third numbers respectively)

Therefore,y=2z

z=x-8

y=2x-16

substituting the values of x,y and z into the question,we have

x+(2x-16)+(x-8)=100

Simplifying,we have

4x-24=100

adding 24 to both sides of the equation,

4x=100+24

4x=124

dividing both sides of the equation by the co-efficient of x,we have

4x/4=124/4

4.31=124

therefore,x=31.

Seventy million pounds of trout are grown in the U.S. every year. Farm-raised trout contain an average of grams of fat per pound
STatiana [176]

Complete question is:

Seventy million pounds of trout are grown in the U.S. every year. Farm-raised trout contain an average of 32 grams of fat per pound, with a standard deviation of 7 grams of fat per pound. A random sample of 34 farm-raised trout is selected. The mean fat content for the sample is 29.7 grams per pound. Find the probability of observing a sample mean of 29.7 grams of fat per pound or less in a random sample of 34 farm-raised trout. Carry your intermediate computations to at least four decimal places. Round your answer to at least three decimal places.

Answer:

Probability = 0.0277

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

Mean: μ = 32

Standard deviation;σ = 7

Random sample number; n = 34

To solve this question, we would use the equation z = (x - μ)/(σ/√n) to find the z value that corresponds to 29.7 grams of fat.

Thus;

z = (29.7 - 32)/(7/√34)

Thus, z = -2.3/1.200490096

z = -1.9159

From the standard z table and confirming with z-calculator, the probability is 0.0277

Thus, the probability to select 34 fish whose average grams of fat per pound is less than 29.7 = 0.0277
