Statcrunchthe number of chocolate chips in a bag of chocolate chip cookies is approximately normally distributed with a mean of

1261 chips and a standard deviation of 117 chips. ​(a) determine the 26th percentile for the number of chocolate chips in a bag. ​(b) determine the number of chocolate chips in a bag that make up the middle 97​% of bags. ​(c) what is the interquartile range of the number of chocolate chips in a bag of chocolate chip​ cookies?

A) First, we convert from percentiles to z-score using a z-table or graphing calculator. The z-table tells us that a z-score of about -0.64 is at the 26th percentile. Then, we convert from z-score to chips using the formula z = (x - mean)/standard deviation. -0.64 = (x - 1261)/117, so x = 1186.12, or about 1186 chips.
b) To find the percentage distance from the mean to one side of the distribution, we divide 97 by 2 to get 48.5. This means that 48.5% above and below the mean is the same as the middle 97%. To find the number of chocolate chips in the bag, we have to find number of chocolate chips in the 98.5th percentile (98.5 is found by adding 48.5 to 50) and the number of chocolate chips in the 1.5th percentile (1.5 is found by subtracting 48.5 from 50). We use a z-table to see that a z-score of about -2.17 is at the 1.5th percentile and a z-score of about 2.17 is at the 98.5th percentile. We convert -2.17 to chips using -2.17 = (x - 1261)/117, and x = 1007.11, or 1007 chips. We convert 2.17 to chips using 2.17 = (x - 1261)/117, and x = 1514.89, or 1515 chips. So a bag containing 1007 to 1515 chips makes the middle 97% of bags.
c) This question is similar to the previous question because it is basically asking you for the middle 50% of bags. The main difference is that we have to subtract the two values in this question to get one number. We divide 50 by 2 to find that 25% of the data falls above and below the mean. So, we need to find the value at the 25th percentile (50-25) and the 75th percentile (50+25). The z-table tells us that a z-score of about -0.67 is at the 25th percentile, and a z-score of about 0.67 is at the 75th percentile. Using the z-score formula, we find that a z-score of -0.67 is equivalent to 1,182.61 and a z-score of 0.67 is equivalent to 1339.39. The interquartile range = 1339.39-1182.61 = 156.78.

The number of cubic feet of water in a curved container can be approximated by v = 0.95h2.9. use a calculator to find the amount
Sati [7]
The first thing we must do for this case is to rewrite the expression of the volume correctly.
 We have then:
 v = 0.95 * h ^ 2.9
 Substituting the value of h we have:
 v = 0.95 * (7.5) ^ 2.9
 v = 327.6432831
 round to the nearest tenth:
 v = 327.6 feet ^ 3
 Answer:
 
the amount of water in the container when h = 7.5 feet is:
 
v = 327.6 feet ^ 3

If the radius of a circle is 3, calculate the diameter.
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

The diameter would be 6

Step-by-step explanation:

the radius is half of a diameter, so you would have to double the radius to get the diameter

d=2r

=2(3)

=6

The diameter reaches across the circle, while the radius reaches only half way, so you would have to double the radius to get the diameter (2r)

sorry if this doesnt make sense

take care, stay safe, be careful, and live

stay safe

If it is assumed that the heights of men are normally distributed with a standard deviation of 2.5 inches, how large a sample sh
Volgvan

Answer:

30 men

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to be sure that the sample mean does differ from the population mean by more than 0.90, the sample size (n) that should be used is given by:

0.90 < Z\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}

Where 'Z' , for a 95% probability is 1.960, 's' is the standard deviation of 2.5 inches:

0.90 > 1.960\frac{2.5}{\sqrt{n}}\\n >(\frac{1.960*2.5}{0.9})^2\\n>29.64

Rounding up to the nearest whole number, the sample size should be at least 30 men.
