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

A=1/2bh. A=200ft. H=10. What is b
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

B= \frac{2A}{H}

Step-by-step explanation:

If you noticed, A= \frac{1}{2}BH is the formula for finding the area for a triangle. Your goal is to get B by it's self. Your first step will be to clear of the fraction first, so you will multiply both sides by 2.   2(A)=2(\frac{1}{2}BH).    On the left, you have 2×A= On the right side, you have     2(\frac{1}{2}BH),     but since you have a number in the equation, you will only use 2×\frac{1}{2}. To solve  2×\frac{1}{2}, you will cnacel out both 2's and you have 1. 1×BH will still equal BH, so you are now left will B×H.

(Your new equation looks like this by the way).    2A=BH

Since you need to get B by its self, the way to clear the H away from the B is by dividing.  You will now divide the B and H aswell as 2A and H. (It will look like this) \frac{2A}{H} = \frac{BxH}{H} . (Again when you have the same number or letter, you cross it out. When you divide, you won't change anything on the left side, and all you have to do on the right id to cross out the H next to the B and cross out the H on the bottom of the equation). You should be left with \frac{2A}{H} = B. Now you can turn it around for your final answer. B= \frac{2A}{H}.

Please let me know if i helped, how I did, and if you have any questions.

Solve the following system of linear equation by graphing. <br>4x + 2y = -2 <br>2x – 3y = 9 ​
Viefleur [7K]
If you can graph in slope intercept, your new equations would be: y= -2x-1 and y= 2/3x-3.
Just graph those now since it should be easier.

Solve each system of equations by graphing Y=3x+4 and y=-x-4
In-s [12.5K]
Y = 3x + 4
y = -x - 4

3x + 4 = -x - 4
3x + x = -4 - 4
4x = -8
x = -8/4
x = -2

y = 3x + 4
y = 3(-2) + 4
y = -6 + 4
y = -2

solution is (-2,-2) <==
