Answer: The value of c would be 26.514 lb.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Mean = 17 lb

Standard deviation = 3.3 lb

At 99%  level of significance, z = 2.58

So, it becomes,

Z=\dfrac{X-\mu}{\sigma}\\\\2.58=\dfrac{X-17}{3.3}\\\\2.58\times 3.3=X-17\\\\8.514+17=X\\\\X=25.514

So, the weight c would be

c=25.514+1\\\\c=26.514

Hence, the value of c would be 26.514 lb.

Mrs.Smith has two similiar recycling bins in her office. The dimension of the smaller bin can be found by dilating the dimension
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

The dimension of the larger bin is x and the smaller bin is 0.75x.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the dimension of the larger bin is x.

It is given that the dimension of the smaller bin can be found by dilating the dimension of the larger bin by a scale factor of 0.75

In order to find the dimension of the smaller bin multiply the dimension of the larger bin by 0.75

(x)(0.75)=0.75x

Hence, the dimension of the larger bin is x and the smaller bin is 0.75x.

What is the median of the data represented in the line plot?
nevsk [136]

Answer:

The answer is Choice D

Step-by-step explanation

The median is the middle value in the given set of data.

If the data is even, then there will be two middle numbers, then the median is the average of these two middle numbers.

Thus, from the data, it is obvious that the number of data in the given set is 13.

Hence, the middle number is 23.

Therefore, the median of the data is 23.
