Answer: 24 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A recipe for 1 apple pie calls for 6 cups of sliced apples.

Then, By applying the famous UNITARY METHOD, we have

1 apple pic= 6 cups

Then, 4 apple pies =4\times6\text{ cups}

i.e. 4 apple pies = 24 cups

Therefore, the number of cups of sliced apples are needed to make 4 apple pies = 24

Yanka [14]

Answer:

0.5 = 50% probability that a random sample of 100 independent persons will cause an overload

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand 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}}.

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

For the sum of n values of a distribution, the mean is \mu \times n and the standard deviation is \sigma\sqrt{n}

An expert in ski lifts thinks that the weights of individuals using the lift have expected weight of 200 pounds and standard deviation of 30 pounds. 100 individuals.

This means that \mu = 200*100 = 20000, \sigma = 30\sqrt{100} = 300

If the expert is right, what is the probability that a random sample of 100 independent persons will cause an overload

Total load of more than 20,000 pounds, which is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 20000. So

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

Z = \frac{20000 - 20000}{300}

Z = 0

Z = 0 has a pvalue of 0.5

1 - 0.5 = 0.5

0.5 = 50% probability that a random sample of 100 independent persons will cause an overload

The owner of Matt’s Gas Station wants to study gasoline purchases of customers at his station. In 2017, the mean amount of gas
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a) We would set up the hypothesis test. This is a test of a single population mean since we are dealing with mean

For the null hypothesis,

µ = 9

For the alternative hypothesis,

µ ≠ 9

This is a 2 tailed test

Since the population standard deviation is given, z score would be determined from the normal distribution table. The formula is

z = (x - µ)/(σ/√n)

Where

x = sample mean

µ = population mean

σ = population standard deviation

n = number of samples

From the information given,

µ = 9

x = 9.9

σ = 2.5

n = 50

z = (9.9 - 9)/(2.5/√50) = 2.55

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the area above the z score is 1 - 0.99461 = 0.00539

Recall, population mean is 9

The difference between sample sample mean and population mean is 9.9 - 9 = 0.9

Since the curve is symmetrical and it is a two tailed test, the x value for the left tail is 9 - 0.9 = 8.1

the x value for the right tail is 9 + 0.9 = 9.9

These means are higher and lower than the null mean. Thus, they are evidence in favour of the alternative hypothesis. We will look at the area in both tails. Since it is showing in one tail only, we would double the area. We already got the area above the z score as z = 0.00539

We would double this area to include the area in the left tail of z = - 2.55. Thus

p = 0.00539 × 2 = 0.01078

Since alpha, 0.01 < 0.01078, we would reject the null hypothesis

But we are told to use the critical value approach, then

Since α = 0.01, the critical value is determined from the normal distribution table.

For the left, α/2 = 0.01/2 = 0.005

The z score for an area to the left of 0.005 is - 2.575

For the right, α/2 = 1 - 0.005 = 0.995

The z score for an area to the right of 0.995 is 2.575

In order to reject the null hypothesis, the test statistic must be smaller than - 2.575 or greater than 2.575

Since - 2.55 > - 2.575 and 2.55 < 2.575, we would reject the null hypothesis. This corresponds to our previous decision.

b) we would assume normal distribution because the sample size is sufficiently large and the population standard deviation is known.

c) Confidence interval is written in the form,

(Sample mean ± margin of error)

Since the sample size is large and the population standard deviation is known, we would use the following formula and determine the z score from the normal distribution table.

Margin of error = z × σ/√n

The z score for confidence level of 99% is 2.58

Margin of error = 2.58 × 2.5/√50 = 0.91

Confidence interval = 9.9 ± 0.91

The lower end of the confidence interval is

9.9 - 0.91 = 8.99

Therefore, p = 9 will be contained in the interval.

qaws [65]
We have 4 deliveries ( 12 1/3 , 8 3/4, 17 2/8 and 23 2/3 miles ) and also the final delivery : 10 5/10 miles = 10 1/2 miles.
We have to add up all the deliveries and to divide the result by 5:
( 12 1/3 + 8 3/4 + 17 1/4 + 23 2/3 + 10 1/2 ) : 5 =
= 72 1/2 : 5 = 72.5 : 5 = 14.5 = 14 1/2
Answer: The average distance for all segments of this trip is 14 1/2 miles.
