Weights of the vegetables in a field are normally distributed. From a sample Carl Cornfield determines the mean weight of a box

of vegetables to be 180 oz. with a standard deviation of 8 oz. He wonders what percent of the vegetable boxes he has grouped for sale will have a weight more than 196 oz. Carl decides to answer the following questions about the population of vegetables from these sample statistics: Carl calculates the z-score corresponding to the weight 196 oz. Using the table (column .00), Carl sees the area associated with this z-score is 0. Carl rounds this value to the nearest thousandth or 0. Now, Carl subtracts 0.50 - 0. = %.

To find the z-score for a weight of 196 oz., use

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{196-180}{8}=\frac{16}{8}=2

A table for the cumulative distribution function for the normal distribution (see picture) gives the area 0.9772 BELOW the z-score z = 2.  Carl is wondering about the percentage of boxes with weights ABOVE z = 2.  The total area under the normal curve is 1, so subtract .9772 from 1.0000.

1.0000 - .9772 = 0.0228, so about 2.3% of the boxes will weigh more than 196 oz.

How many solutions are there to the equation 10= a + b + c with each of a, b, and c a whole number greater than or equal to zero
djverab [1.8K]
If <em>a</em> is fixed and <em>b</em>,<em>c</em> are unknowns then the equation <em>b</em>+<em>c</em>=10-<em>a</em> has 11-<em>a</em> solutions. They are pairs (b,c): (0,10-a), (1,9-a), (2,8-a), ... (10-a,0). As <em>a</em> runs from 0 to 10 we have total number of solutions (11-0)+(11-1)+...(11-1)=11+10+...+1=(1+11)*11/2=66.

Although you do not give the rates I assume the answer is D as it is the only positive multiplication. You cannot have negative height.

Polygon ABCD is a rectangle. What is its area? Round your answer to the
galben [10]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  26 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

Counting grid squares on the graph, we see that segment AB is the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs 2 and 3. Its length is ...

  AB = √(2²+3²) = √13

We can also see that the adjacent longer sides are twice this length, each being the hypotenuse of a triangle that is 6 wide and 4 high.

  AC = √(6² +4²) = √52 = 2√13

Then the area is ...

  A = LW

  A = (2√13)(√13) = 2·13 = 26 . . . square units

Graph the function and find the range
kramer
The answer for the graph would be C. While x is less than or equal to 0, there is the graph of -4x. While x is greater than x, there is the graph of -5 (horizontal line). Furthermore, the closed dot at the end of the -4x represents the less than or EQUAL TO. The dot at the end of the -5 is open because it is only true when x > 0.

The range (y-values where the graph exists) is [-5]∪[0, infinity)
