Hello there!

n - 5 ≤ 5n - 1

Solve for n

Let's start by subtracting 5n from both sides

n - 5 - 5n ≤ 5n - 5n - 1

n - 5 - 5n ≤ -1

We need to transfer -5 on the other side, we can do that by adding 5 on both sides

n - 5 - 5n + 5 ≤ -1 + 5

n - 5n ≤ -4

-4n ≤ -4

Finally divide both sides by -4

-4n/-4 ≤ -4/-4

n ≥ -1 (This is the answer)!

Do you know why I changed the sign?

A lot of students failed to remember that rules, which is:
When you are solving an inequality, if you divide both sides by a negative sign, you MUST change the symbol as well. If it was this <, it will change to this >. Got it? Cool!

I hope the steps are clear to understand. If you have questions, feel free to let me know...

As always, I am here to help!

The amounts a soft drink machine is designed to dispense for each drink are normally distributed, with a mean of 12.1 fluid ounc

Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

$\mu = 12.1\\\sigma = 0.3$

a) Find the probability that the drink is less than 11.9 fluid ounces

We are supposed to find P(x<11.9)

x= 11.9

We will use z score formula :

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

$z=\frac{11.9-12.1}{0.3}$

$z=-0.67$

Refer the z table

So, P(z<-0.67) = 0.2514

Hence the probability that the drink is less than 11.9 fluid ounces is 0.2514

b)Find the probability that the drink is between 11.6 and 11.9 fluid ounces

x= 11.6

We will use z score formula :

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

$z=\frac{11.6-12.1}{0.3}$

$z=-1.67$

x= 11.9

We will use z score formula :

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

$z=\frac{11.9-12.1}{0.3}$

$z=-0.67$

We are supposed to find P(11.6<x<11.9)

So, P(11.6<x<11.9)= P(x<11.9)-P(x<11.6)

P(-1.67<z<-0.67)= P(z<-0.67)-P(z<-1.67)

Refer the z table

P(-1.67<z<-0.67)= P(z<-0.67)-P(z<-1.67)

P(-1.67<z<-0.67)= 0.2514-0.0475

P(-1.67<z<-0.67)= 0.2039

So, the probability that the drink is between 11.6 and 11.9 fluid ounces is 0.2039.

c)Find the probability that the drink is more than 12.6 fluid ounces

We are supposed to find P(x>12.6)

x= 12.6

We will use z score formula :

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

$z=\frac{12.6-12.1}{0.3}$

$z=1.67$

Refer the z table

P(x>12.6)=1-P(x<12.6)

P(z>1.67)=1-P(z<1.67)

P(z>1.67)=1-0.9525

P(z>1.67)=0.0475

Hence the probability that the drink is more than 12.6 fluid ounces is 0.0475

d) Is the drink containing more than 12.6 fluid ounces an unusual event?

Since p value is less than alpha (0.05)

Answer = No, because the probability that a drink containing more than 12.6 fluid ounces is less than 0.05, this event is not unusual.
