A worker at a landscape design center uses a machine to fill bags with potting soil. Assume that the quantity put in each bag fo

llows the continuous uniform distribution with low and high filling weights of 10 pounds and 12 pounds, respectively. a. Calculate the expected value and the standard deviation of this distribution. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your "Standard deviation" answer to 4 decimal places.) Expected value Standard deviation b. Find the probability that the weight of a randomly selected bag is no more than 11 pounds. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) Probability c. Find the probability that the weight of a randomly selected bag is at least 10.5 pounds. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

Answer:

a) The expected value is given by:

E(X) =\frac{a+b}{2}= \frac{10+12}{2}= 11

The variance is given by:

Var(X) = \frac{(b-a)^2}{12}= \frac{(12-10)^2}{12}= 0.3333

And the standard deviation is just the square root of the variance and we got:

Sd(x) = \sqrt{0.3333}= 0.5774

b) P(X

And we can use the cumulative distribution function given by:

F(x) = \frac{x-a}{b-a}, a \leq x \leq b

And using this function we got:

P(X

c) P(X>10.5)

And using the complement rule and the cumulative distribution function we got:

P(X>10.5)= 1-P(X

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we define the random variable X=quantity put in each bag , and we know that the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim Unif (a= 10, b =12)

Part a

The expected value is given by:

E(X) =\frac{a+b}{2}= \frac{10+12}{2}= 11

The variance is given by:

Var(X) = \frac{(b-a)^2}{12}= \frac{(12-10)^2}{12}= 0.3333

And the standard deviation is just the square root of the variance and we got:

Sd(x) = \sqrt{0.3333}= 0.5774

Part b

For this case we want this probability:

P(X

And we can use the cumulative distribution function given by:

F(x) = \frac{x-a}{b-a}, a \leq x \leq b

And using this function we got:

P(X

Part c

For this case we want this probability:

P(X>10.5)

And using the complement rule and the cumulative distribution function we got:

P(X>10.5)= 1-P(X

During cooking, chicken loses 10% of its weight due to water loss. In order to obtain 1,170 grams of cooked chicken, how many gr
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

117 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

So this is a oddly phrased question but I believe I understand it. You need to find 10 percent of 1170 grams and that it 117. And for you information I did use calculator to prevent error so don't worry about that.

Suppose f (x )right arrow 250 and g (x )right arrow 0 with ​g(x)greater than0 as x right arrow 5. Determine ModifyingBelow lim W
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

The limit is \lim_{x \to 5} \frac{250}{0} = \infty

Step-by-step explanation:

The  equation given are

     f(x)  \to  250

and   g(x) \to 0

with g(x) > 0 \ as\   x ---> 5

The objective is to obtain

      \lim_{x \to 5} \frac{f(x)}{g(x)}

This mathematically evaluated as

        \lim_{x \to 5} \frac{250}{0}

      = \lim_{x \to 5} \frac{250}{0} = \infty
