An orange juice producer buys oranges from a large orange grove that has one variety of orange. The amount of juice squeezed fro

m these oranges is approximately normally distributed, with a mean of 4.70 ounces and a standard deviation of 0.40 ounce. Suppose that you select a sample of 25 oranges. a. What is the probability that the sample mean amount of juice will be at least 4.60 ounces? b. The probability is 70% that the sample mean amount of juice will be contained between what two values symmetrically distributed around the population mean? c. The probability is 77% that the sample mean amount of juice will be greater than what value?

Answer:

a) 0.10565

b) The two values = 4.61712 and

4.78288

c) 4.64088

Step-by-step explanation:

The z score formula we use to solve when given a random number of samples=

The formula for calculating a z-score is is z = (x-μ)/σ/√n

where x is the raw score

μ is the population mean

σ/√n is standard error

σ is the population standard deviation

n = random number of samples

a. What is the probability that the sample mean amount of juice will be at least 4.60 ounces?

z = (x-μ)/σ/√n

x = 4.60

μ = 4.70

σ = 0.40

n = 25

z = 4.60 - 4.70/0.40/√25

z = -0.10/0.40/5

z = -1.25

P-value from Z-Table:

P(x ≤ 4.60)

= P(x ≤ 4.60)

= P(z = -1.25)

= 0.10565

Therefore, the probability that the sample mean amount of juice will be at least 4.60 ounces is 0.10565

b. The probability is 70% that the sample mean amount of juice will be contained between what two values symmetrically distributed around the population mean?

The probability of 70% = 0.70

The z score for 0.70 = 1.036

This means, -1.036 and +1.036 gives a probability (0.70) or confidence level of 70%

We are to find x(raw score)

We solve using z score formula

For z = +1.036

z = (x-μ)/σ/√n

x = ?

μ = 4.70

σ = 0.40

n = 25

1.036 = x - 4.70/0.40/√25

1.036 = x - 4.70/0.08

Cross Multiply

1.036 × 0.08 = x - 4.70

0.08288 = x - 4.70

0.08288 + 4.70 = x

x = 4.78288

For z = -1.036

z = (x-μ)/σ/√n

x = ?

μ = 4.70

σ = 0.40

n = 25

-1.036 = x - 4.70/0.40/√25

-1.036 = x - 4.70/0.08

Cross Multiply

-1.036 × 0.08 = x - 4.70

-0.08288 = x - 4.70

-0.08288 + 4.70 = x

= 4.61712

Therefore, the two values = 4.61712 and

4.78288

c. The probability is 77% that the sample mean amount of juice will be greater than what value?

We are told to find the value that the sample mean is greater than

The z score for a P(x > z)

= P(x > 0.77)

= -0.739

Using z score formula, we find x first

z = (x-μ)/σ/√n

x = ?

μ = 4.70

σ = 0.40

n = 25

-0.739 = x - 4.70/0.40/√25

-0.739 = x - 4.70/0.08

Cross Multiply

-0.739 × 0.08 = x - 4.70

-0.05912 = x - 4.70

-0.05912 + 4.70 = x

x = 4.64088

Therefore, the value that the probability is 77% that the sample mean amount of juice will be greater than is 4.64088

___________ is a standard of measure for a physical quantity and is included as part of the x and y axes labels on a line graph.
zlopas [31]

Answer:

Unit of measure

Step-by-step explanation:

Unit of measure

When we construct any type of graph the unit of measure needs to be present, becuase the numbers without units are just numbers and with just the numbers we can't have physical interpretation of the situation.

For this reason is importatn to include the units of meausre with the plots since with that we have a point of reference for the variables used.

And satisfy the condition "A standard of measure for a physical quantity and is included as part of the x and y axes labels on a line graph."

Find the missing dimension. Use the scale factor 1: 15. Door Model Height 10 in Actual
anygoal [31]

Answer:

The answer is "150 unit"

Step-by-step explanation:

scale factor = 1:15

height = 10

dimension =?

let dimension = x

\Rightarrow \frac{10}{x} = \frac{1}{15} \\\\\Rightarrow  150 = x\\\\\Rightarrow x= 150 \ units
