For this case we must construct a system of two equations with two variables. Let "h" be the number of hardcover version books, and let "p" be the number of paperback version books. If the hardcover version of a book weighs 7 ounces and the paperback version weighs 5 ounces, to reach a total of 249 ounces we have:
(1)
On the other hand, if there are Forty-five copies of the book then:
(2)
If from (2) we clear the number of books paperback version we have:
As each paperback version book weighs 5 ounces, to obtain the total weight of the paperback version books, represented by "x" in the table shown, we multiply
So,
Answer:
Option D
Answer:
- 17,750
- 1737
Step-by-step explanation:
A suitable table or calculator is needed.
One standard deviation from the mean includes 68.27% of the total, so the number of bottles in the range 20 ± 0.16 ounces will be ...
0.6827·26,000 = 17,750 . . . . . within 20 ± 0.16
__
The number below 1.5 standard deviations below the mean is about 6.68%, so for the given sample size is expected to be ...
0.66799·26,000 = 1737 . . . . . below 19.76
_____
<em>Comment on the first number</em>
The "empirical rule" tells you that 68% of the population is within 1 standard deviation (0.16 ounces) of the mean. When the number involved is expected to be expressed to 5 significant digits, your probability value needs better accuracy than that. To 6 digits, the value is 0.682689, which gives the same "rounded to the nearest integer" value as the one shown above.
