How is multiplying two decimals different from multiplying one decimal by a whole number?

Natasha2012 [34]

Answer: The major difference is that after you have finished multiplying all the terms (while ignoring the decimal points), you have to add up how many decimal places there are in the factors, and put that many decimal places in the answer.

Jumbo eggs in Australia, on average, are supposed to weigh 68g. Margot is in charge of a quality control test that involves weig

Andrej [43]

Answer:

0.9987 = 99.87% probability that the mean weight of 4 eggs in a package is less than 68.5g

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we use the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .
