Answer:

  • 3 packages of cups
  • 4 packages of napkins

Step-by-step explanation:

You need at least enough for 60, so any requirement for a partial package means you need to buy another whole package. The "ceiling" function gives the next higher integer for a non-integer value.

  cups = ceiling((60 cups)/(24 cups/package)) = ceiling(2.5) packages

  = 3 packages

__

  napkins = ceiling((60 napkins)/(18 napkins/package))

  = ceiling(3 1/3) packages = 4 packages

Sam needs 7 1/2 cups of orange juice to make punch for a group of her friends. She only has 5 1/3 cups. Write and solve an equat
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

Equation is x+\frac{16}{3}=\frac{15}{2} where x denotes number of cups of orange juice needed by Sam.

x=\frac{13}{6}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x denotes number of cups of orange juice needed by Sam.

Number of cups needed to make punch =7\frac{1}{2} =\frac{15}{2}

Number of cups with Sam =5\frac{1}{3}=\frac{16}{3}

Therefore,

x+\frac{16}{3}=\frac{15}{2}\\\\x=  \frac{15}{2}-\frac{16}{3}\\\\x=\frac{45-32}{6}\\\\x=\frac{13}{6}

Suppose that grade point averages of undergraduate students at one university have a bell-shaped distribution with a mean of 2.5
masya89 [10]

Answer:

z= \frac{3.44-2.54}{0.45}=2

P(X>3.44) = P(Z>2) = 0.025

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 grade points avergae of a population, and for this case we know the following properties

Where \mu=2.54 and \sigma=0.45

The empirical rule, also referred to as the three-sigma rule or 68-95-99.7 rule, is a statistical rule which states that for a normal distribution, almost all data falls within three standard deviations (denoted by σ) of the mean (denoted by µ). Broken down, the empirical rule shows that 68% falls within the first standard deviation (µ ± σ), 95% within the first two standard deviations (µ ± 2σ), and 99.7% within the first three standard deviations (µ ± 3σ).

So we can find the z score for the value of X=3.44 in order to see how many deviations above or belowe we are from the mean like this:

z= \frac{3.44-2.54}{0.45}=2

So the value of 3.44 is 2 deviations above from the mean, so then we know that the percentage between two deviations from the mean is 95% and on each tail we need to have (100-95)/2 = 2.5% , because the distribution is symmetrical, so based on this we can conclude that:

P(X>3.44) = P(Z>2) = 0.025
