Answer:

a) x = 1225.68

b) x = 1081.76

c)  1109.28 < x < 1198.72

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

- Th random variable X for steer weight follows a normal distribution:

                                    X~ N( 1154 , 86 )

Find:

a) the highest​ 10% of the​ weights? ​

b) the lowest​ 20% of the​ weights? ​

c) the middle​ 40% of the​ weights? ​

Solution:

a)

We will compute the corresponding Z-value for highest cut off 10%:

                                   Z @ 0.10 = 1.28

                                    Z = (x-u) / sd

Where,

u: Mean of the distribution.

s.d: Standard deviation of the distribution.

                                   1.28 = (x - 1154) / 86

                                      x = 1.28*86 + 1154

                                      x = 1225.68

b)

We will compute the corresponding Z-value for lowest cut off 20%:

                                   -Z @ 0.20 = -0.84

                                    Z = (x-u) / sd

                                   -0.84 = (x - 1154) / 86

                                      x = -0.84*86 + 1154

                                      x = 1081.76

c)

We will compute the corresponding Z-value for middle cut off 40%:

                                    Z @ 0.3 = -0.52

                                    Z @ 0.7 = 0.52

                                    [email protected] < x < [email protected]

                       -.52*86 + 1154 < x < 0.52*86 + 1154

                                  1109.28 < x < 1198.72

A TV studio has brought in 8 boy kittens and 10 girl kittens for a cat food commercial.
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

0.323 = 32.3% probability that the director chooses 3 boy kittens and 5 girl kittens.

Step-by-step explanation:

The kittens are chosen without replacement, which means that the hypergeometric distribution is used to solve this question.

Hypergeometric distribution:

The probability of x sucesses is given by the following formula:

P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}

In which:

x is the number of sucesses.

N is the size of the population.

n is the size of the sample.

k is the total number of desired outcomes.

Combinations formula:

C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

A TV studio has brought in 8 boy kittens and 10 girl kittens for a cat food commercial.

This means that N = 8 + 10 = 18

We want 3 boys, so k = 8

The director is going to choose 8 of these kittens at random to be in the commercial.

This means that n = 8

What is the probability that the director chooses 3 boy kittens and 5 girl kittens?

This is P(X = 3).

P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}

P(X = 3) = h(3,18,8,8) = \frac{C_{8,3}*C_{10,5}}{C_{18,8}} = 0.323

0.323 = 32.3% probability that the director chooses 3 boy kittens and 5 girl kittens.
