A vending machine automatically pours soft drinks into cups. The amount of soft drink dispensed into a cup is normally distribut

ed with a mean of 7.6oz and standard deviation of 0.4oz.
(a) Estimate the probability that the machine will overflow an 8-ounce cup. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
(b) Estimate the probability that the machine will not overflow an 8-ounce cup. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
(c) The machine has just been loaded with 848 cups. How many of these do you expect will overflow when served

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the amount of soft drink dispensed into a cup is normally distributed, we would apply the formula for normal distribution which is expressed as

z = (x - µ)/σ

Where

x = amount in ounce of soft drink dispensed into cup.

µ = mean amount

σ = standard deviation

From the information given,

µ = 7.6oz

σ = 0.4 oz

a) The probability that the machine will overflow an 8-ounce cup is expressed as

P(x > 8) = 1 - P(x ≤ 8)

For x = 8,

z = (8 - 7.6)/0.4 = 1

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.84

P(x ≤ 8) = 1 - 0.84 = 0.16

b) P(x< 8) = 0.84

c) when the machine has just been loaded with 848 cups, the number of cups expected to overflow when served is

0.16 × 848 = 136 cups

6. David gets 65 chocolates an hour for cleaning. He gets a 15% raise. He
Sonja [21]

Answer:

Before raise: 65 chocolates/hour*60=3900 chocolates

Raise=65 * (15%=15/100=.15) .15=9.75 more chocolates per hour

With raise 74.75 chocolates/hour*60=4485 chocolates

4485-3900=585 more chocolates per 60 hour week

Mr. Smith traveled to a city 300 miles from his home to attend a meeting. Due to car trouble, his average speed returning was 6
Kryger [21]

Answer: The speed at which he traveled to the city is 69.8 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the speed at which he traveled to the city.

Mr. Smith traveled to a city 300 miles from his home to attend a meeting.

Time = distance/speed

Time taken to travel to the city is

300/x

Due to car trouble, his average speed on returning was 6 mph less than his speed going. This means that the speed at which he returned is (x - 6) mph. Time taken to return from the city is

300/(x - 6)

If the total time for the round trip was 9 hours, it means that

300/x + 300/(x - 6) = 9

Cross multiplying by x(x - 6), it becomes

300(x - 6) + 300x = 9x(x - 6)

300x - 1800 + 300x = 9x² - 54x

9x² - 54x - 300x - 300x - 1800 = 0

9x² - 654x -1800 = 0

Applying the general quadratic equation,

x = [- b ± √(b² - 4ac)]/2a

From the equation given,

a = 9

b = - 654

c = 1800

Therefore,

x = [- - 654 ± √(- 654² - 4 × 9 × 1800)]/2 × 9

x = [654 ± √(427716 - 64800)]/18

x = [654 ± √362916.4]/18

x = (654 + 602.4)/2 or x = (654 - 602.4)/18

x = 1256.4/18 or x = 51.6/18

x = 69.8mph or x = 2.9 mph

The speed at which he traveled to the city is 69.8 mph

By checking,

Time spent travelling to the city = 300/69.8 = 4.3 hours

Time spent returning =

300/(69.8 - 6) = 4.7 hours

4.3 + 4.7 = 9 hours
