Answer:

a. The distribution of X is normal.

b. The probability that the customer consumes less than 2863 calories is 0.4213

c. 42.01% of of the customers consume over 3107 calories

d. The fewest number of calories a person must consume to receive the Piggy award is 4131,41 calories.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the calorie of a randomly chosen customer consumes.

a. The distribution of X is normal.

b. The probability that the customer consumes less than 2863 calories =P(x<2863)=P(z<z*) where z* is the z-statistic of X=2863 calorie.

z* can be calculated using the formula

(1) z*=\frac{X-M}{s} where

  • X =2863
  • M is the mean calories consumed by customers at the Chinese buffet (2984)
  • s is the standard deviation (610)

Then z*=\frac{2863-2984}{610} ≈−0.1984

And P(z<z*)=0.4213

c. The proportion of the customers consume over 3107 calories is

1 - the proportion of the customers consume less than 3107 calories.

= 1- P(z<z*) where z* is the z-statistic of X=3107 calorie.

From above formula (1) we get:

z*=\frac{3107-2984}{610} ≈ 0.5799 and 1-0.5799=0.4201

Thus, 42.01% of of the customers consume over 3107 calories

d. The Piggy award will given out to the 3% of customers, and let z* be the z-score of the the fewest number of calories a person must consume to receive the Piggy award, then

P(z>z*)=0.03 (3%) or P(z<z*)=0.97 gives z*= 1.881

From (1), we have the equation 1.881=\frac{X-2984}{610}

We get X= (1.881×610)+2984 =4131,41

The fewest number of calories a person must consume to receive the Piggy award is 4131,41 calories.

prisoha [69]

Answer:

The length of the shortest side of the triangle is 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the lengths of the sides of a triangle are 4, 5 and 6, if the length of the longest side of a similar triangle is 15, to determine what is the length of the shortest side of the triangle, the following calculation must be performed :

6 = 15

4 = X

4 x 15/6 = X

10 = X

Therefore, the length of the shortest side of the triangle is 10.
