The cost of the mixture is $69 *$1 = $69. If all 69 pounds were peanuts, the cost would be 69*$0.99 = $68.31, which is $0.69 less. Each pound of walnuts used instead of peanuts adds $0.03 to the cost of the mixture, so there were $0.69/$0.03 = 23 pounds of walnuts. 
<span>_____ </span>
<span>Let w represent the number of pounds of walnuts in the mixture. Then 69-w is the number of pounds of peanuts. The cost of the mixture will be </span>
<span>1.02w + 0.99(69-w) = 1.00*69 dollars </span>
<span>0.03w + 68.31 = 69.00 </span>
<span>w = (69.00 - 68.31)/0.03 = 0.69/0.03 = 23</span>

The heights of baby giraffe are normally distributed with a mean of 63.6 inches and a standard deviation of 2.5 inches. If 100 b
ANEK [815]

Answer:

P(\bar X

And we can solve this using the following z score formula:

z = \frac{\bar X -\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

And if we use this formula we got:

z = \frac{63-63.6}{\frac{2.5}{\sqrt{100}}}= -2.4

So we can find this probability equivalently like this:

P( Z

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the heights of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(63.6,2.5)  

Where \mu=63.6 and \sigma=2.5

We select n =100. Since the distribution for X is normal then we know that the distribution for the sample mean \bar X is given by:

\bar X \sim N(\mu, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})

We want this probability:

P(\bar X

And we can solve this using the following z score formula:

z = \frac{\bar X -\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

And if we use this formula we got:

z = \frac{63-63.6}{\frac{2.5}{\sqrt{100}}}= -2.4

So we can find this probability equivalently like this:

P( Z
