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

ht of the bags is normally distributed, explain how you would find the weight range that 95% of the bags fall within.

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)

Triangle VXW is similar to triangle ZXY. Triangle V X W. Side V W is 12 miles and side V X is 14 miles. Triangle Z X Y. Side Y Z
amid [387]

Answer: Kara should have written the proportion in step 1 as;

Start Fraction 12 Over 72 End Fraction = Start Fraction 14 Over x End Fraction (that is 12/72 = 14/x)

Step-by-step explanation: The two similar triangles are given with the following dimensions;

Triangle VXW with side VW = 12 and side VX = 14. Also Triangle ZXY with side YZ = 72 and side XZ = x.

For two triangles to be similar, then there must be a similarity ration that is consistent with all sides in both triangles. This means if in the first triangle a side measures  1 unit and the similar side in the other triangle measures 5 units, then the ratio of similarity of corresponding sides shall be ratio 1 : 5. So for every corresponding side in the second triangle the measurement shall be times five of the side that corresponds in the first triangle.

Therefore, in triangle VXW and triangle ZXY, the corresponding sides are as follows;

VX = ZX

VW = ZY

XW = XY

What Kara did was as follows;

VX/ZY = VW/ZX

Which translates to 14/72 = 12/x

This was a wrong calculation because the side that corresponds to VX is ZX and not ZY.

The correct step should therefore have been;

VW/ZY = VX/ZX

12/72 = 14/x (Step 1)

12x = (72) (14) {Step 2}

x = 1008/12 (Step 3)

x = 84 (Step 4)

What is you’re typical approach to solving a math problem that looks too difficult or intimidating
kherson [118]

Answer:

People are more likely to avoid approaching difficult situations as they fear failure or looking bad to others if they get it wrong. They lack the point of view of being looked upon as brave for attempting something that others avoid.
