Soft-drink cans are filled by an automated filling machine and the standard deviation is 0.5 fluid ounces assume that the fill v

olumes of the cans are independent, normal random variables. (a what is the standard deviation of the average fill volume of 100 cans? (b if the mean fill volume is 12.1 ounces, what is the probability that the average fill volume of the 100 cans is below 12 fluid ounces? (c what should the mean fill volume equal so that the probability that the average of 100 cans is below 12 fluid ounces is 0.005? (d if the mean fill volume is 12.1 fluid ounces, what should the standard deviation of fill volume equal so that the probability that the average of 100 cans is below 12 fluid ounces is 0.005? (e determine the number of cans that need to be measured such that the probability that the average fill volume is less than 12 fluid ounces is 0.01.

A.) For n independent variates with the same distribution, the standard deviation of their mean is the standard deviation of an individual divided by the square root of the sample size: i.e. s.d. (mean) = s.d. / sqrt(n)
Therefore, the standard deviation of of the average fill volume of 100 cans is given by 0.5 / sqrt(100) = 0.5 / 10 = 0.05

b.) In a normal distribution, P(X < x) is given by P(z < (x - mean) / s.d).
Thus, P(X < 12) = P(z < (12 - 12.1) / 0.05) = P(z < -2) = 1 - P(z < 2) = 1 - 0.97725 = 0.02275

c.) Let the required mean fill volume be u, then P(X < 12) = P(z < (12 - u) / 0.05) = 1 - P(z < (u - 12) / 0.05) = 0.005
P(z < (u - 12) / 0.05) = 1 - 0.005 = 0.995 = P(z < 2.575)
(u - 12) / 0.05 = 2.575
u - 12 = 2.575 x 0.05 = 0.12875
u = 12 + 0.12875 = 12.12875
Therefore, the mean fill volume should be 12.12875 so that the probability that the average of 100 cans is below 12 fluid ounces be 0.005.

d.) Let the required standard deviation of fill volume be s, then P(X < 12) = P(z < (12 - 12.1) / s) = 1 - P(z < 0.1 / s) = 0.005
P(z < 0.1 / s) = 1 - 0.005 = 0.995 = P(z < 2.575)
0.1 / s = 2.575
s = 0.1 / 2.575 = 0.0388
Therefore, the standard deviation of fill volume should be 0.0388 so that the probability that the average of 100 cans is below 12 fluid ounces be 0.005.

e.) Let the required number of cans be n, then P(X < 12) = P(z < (12 - 12.1) / (0.5/sqrt(n))) = 1 - P(z < (12.1 - 12) / (0.5/sqrt(n))) = 0.01
P(z < 0.1 / (0.5/sqrt(n))) = 1 - 0.01 = 0.99 = P(z < 2.327)
0.1 / (0.5/sqrt(n)) = 2.327
0.5/sqrt(n) = 0.1 / 2.327 = 0.0430
sqrt(n) = 0.5/0.0430 = 11.635
n = 11.635^2 = 135.37
Therefore, the number of cans that need to be measured such that the average fill volume is less than 12 fluid ounces be 0.01

What fraction of a clockwise revolution does the hour hand of a clock turn through, when it goes from a) 5 to 11? b)2 to 8? c)10
LenKa [72]

Answer: 1/2, 1/2, 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the fraction that the hour hand turns of a clockwise revolution, we have to find how long it is going then divide by 12

Ex. a) 11 - 5 = 6, 6/12 = 1/2 so the hour hand turns by 1/2 of a clockwise revolution

b) 8 - 2 = 6, 6/12 = 1/2 so the hour hand turns by 1/2 of a clockwise revolution

c) For this, we have to convert 1 into 13 as 1 - 10 is a negative number

13 - 10 = 3, 3/12 = 1/4 so the hour hand turns by 1/4 of a clockwise revolution

Can someone pls help me with this.
Elodia [21]

Answer:

[A] It will take 24 minutes for Joe and Charmaine to meet again at the starting line.

[B] Joe will complete 2 laps

[C]  Charmaine will complete 3 laps.

Step-by-step explanation:

Factor two numbers 12 and 8:

12 = 2×2×3

8 = 2×2×2

Find LCM of 12 and 8:

Lcm of 12 and 8 - 2×2×3×2 = 24

Therefore,

[A] How much time does it take for them to meet again at the starting line?

It will take 24 minutes for Joe and Charmaine to meet again at the starting line.

[B] How many laps does Joe complete

Joe will complete 2 laps

[C] How many laps does Charmaine complete?

Charmaine will complete 3 laps.

The daily advertising revenue (in dollars) for a local newspaper is given by the function R(t) = -18t2 + 720t – 103, where t is
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

6647

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the advertising revenue for 15 years is shown below:

Given that

r(t) = -18t^2 + 720t - 103

where

t = number of years = 15

now put the value of t in the above equation

= -18(15)^2 + 720(15) - 103

= -4050 + 10,800 - 103

= 6647
