Basically we have to calculate P X < 0.95. By using the normal distribution formula for any random variable we can get our answer.

SO first from z table we will have to check the corresponding z value from the table. After we get that value we can do X - mean / the std dev = that particular value that i am naming A.

SO X - 5 / 0.5 = A. Now we can solve X for our answer.

Answer:

The range that 95% of the bags fall within is (4.02,5.98)            

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A potato sorting machine produces 5 lb bags of potatoes on average, but the standard deviation is 1/2 lb. Assuming that the weight of the bags is normally distributed

To find : How you would find the weight range that 95% of the bags fall within?

Solution :

We have given,

Mean is \mu=5

Standard deviation is \sigma=\farc{1}{2}=0.5

The critical value for a 95% confidence interval is 1.96.

Let x=1.96

The formula to find the range or confidence interval is

\mu-x\sigma\leq CI\leq \mu+x\sigma

Substitute the value in the formula,

5-1.96\times 0.5\leq CI\leq5+1.96\times 0.5

5-0.98\leq CI\leq5+0.98

4.02 \leq CI \leq 5.98

Therefore, The range that 95% of the bags fall within is (4.02,5.98)

tatiyna

Answer: A = 4400(1 + 0.0825 x 22)

Step-by-step explanation:

A = accumulated amount

P = original amount  unloaded- $4400

r = rate - 8.25% = 0.0825

t = years = 22

= 4400(1 + 0.0825 x 22)

Do 8feet + 10feet + 12feet make a right triangle
bija089 [108]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

 no

Step-by-step explanation:

If triangle side lengths are an arithmetic sequence (have a common difference), they must have the ratios 3:4:5 to make a right triangle. Here, the ratios of the side lengths are 4:5:6, so will not be a right triangle.

If the ratio of the measure of the complement of an angle to the measure of its supplement is 1:3, find the measure of the angle

Set up and solve an equation:

3(90-x) = (180-x).  Then  270 - 3x = 180 - x, or   270 - 180 = 2x.
                                                                               90 = 2x, so x = 45 deg.

Is this true?     3(90-45) = (180-45)?  If so, x = 45 degrees is correct.

Solve for each variable and tell how you found the value of each.
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

A:38 c:54

Step-by-step explanation:

First off, I did the easiest which was a. i found the value of A by subtracting 180 by 142. because a flat line is 180 degrees.

For C, It was more difficult. I subtracted 88 by the value of A, since the value of A is the same as the one next to 88. So I subtracted 126 (88+38) and got 54.  

Fortunately, I couldn't figure out B though, but i think it is a similar answer to c.
