A soft-drink machine can be regulated so that it discharges an average of μ oz. per cup. If the ounces of fill are Normally dist

ributed with a standard deviation of 0.4 oz., what value should μ be set at so that 98% of 6-oz. cups will not overflow?

Answer:

μ = 5.068 oz

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal distribution formula to use the table attached

Z = (x - μ)/σ

where μ is mean, σ is standard deviation, Z is on x-axis and x is a desired point.

98% of 6-oz. cups will not overflow means that the area below the curve is equal to 0.49; note that the curve is symmetrical respect zero, so, 98% of the cases relied between the interval (μ - some value) and (μ + some value)].

From table attached, area = 0.49 when Z = 2.33. From data, σ = 0.4 oz and x = 6 oz (maximum capacity of the cup). Isolating x from the formula gives

Z = (x - μ)/σ

2.33 = (6 - μ)/0.4

μ = 6 - 2.33*0.4

μ = 5.068

This means that with a mean of 5 oz and a standard deviation of 0.4 oz, the machine will discharge a maximum of 6 oz in the 98% of the cases.

Find x round your answer to the nearest integer.
daser333 [38]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that <em>x</em> is opposite to the given angle and we are also given the hypotenuse.

Since we have an angle and the side opposite to it and the hypotenuse, we can use the sine ratio. Recall that:

\displaystyle \sin \theta =\frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{hypotenuse}}

The opposite side is <em>x</em>, the hypotenuse is 15, and the angle is 53. Substitute:

\displaystyle \sin 53^\circ = \frac{x}{15}

Solve for <em>x: </em>

<em />x=15\sin 53^\circ<em />

Use a calculator (make sure you're in Degrees Mode!). Hence:

x=11.9795...\approx 12

Our answer is C.

The first term in a geometric series is 64 and the common ratio is 0.75. Find the sum of the first 4 terms in the series.
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

195.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider geometric series  S(n) where initial term is a

So S(n)=a+ar^1+...ar^n

Factor out a

S(n)=a(1+r+r^2...+r^n)

Multiply by r

S(n)r=a(r+r^2+r^3...+r^n+r^n+1)

Subtract S(n) from S(n)r

Note that only 1 and rn^1 remain.

S(n)r-S(n)=a(r^n+1  -1)

Factor out S(n)

S(n)(r-1)=a(r^n+1  -1)

The formula now shows S(n)=a(r^n+1  -1)/(r-1)

Now use the formula for the problem

PLS HELP ILL MARK CROWN
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

4x−7

Step-by-step explanation:

Being given our polynomial:

4x^{2}+ x - 14,

We must find the roots to get our answer.

x = (- 1 ± √(1 - 4*4*(-14)) / 8

x = (- 1 ± √225) / 8

x = ( -1 ± 15) / 8

x₁ = (- 1 + 15)/ 8 = 14/8 = 7 / 4

x₂ = (- 1 - 15) / 8 = - 16/2 = - 8

The factors we came up with:

(x - x₁)(x - x₂)

(x - 7/4)(x + 8)

1/4(4x - 7)(x + 8)

So,

The correct option is C.
