Let the weight of the full Volume of nails in the box be W.
Let the weight of the box be B.

2/3 W  + B =  130 ........i          From the first statement.
3/8 W  + B =      74 ......ii         From the second statement.

Equation (i)  Minus (ii)

2/3 W  - 3/8 W + B  - B =  130 - 74
(16W  - 9W) / 24                 = 56

7W / 24  =  56.
W        =  56 * 24 / 7
W        =    192  Pounds.

Substituting V = 64 in equation (i)
2/3 W  + B =  130
2/3 * 192  + B =  130
2 * 64  + B =  130
128  + B =  130
B =  130 -128 = 2.

Therefore, weight of box, B = 2 pounds.

For bone density scores that are normally distributed with a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of​ 1, find the percentage of sc
mr Goodwill [35]
<span>In a normal distribution 68.27% of the values are within one standard deviation from the mean, 95.5% of the values are within two standard deviations from the mean, and 99.7 % of the values are within three standard deviations of the mean

With that you have the answer to the three questions:

</span>
<span>a. significantly high​ (or at least 2 standard deviations above the​ mean).

99.5% of the values are within 2 standard deviations from the mean, half of 100% - 95.5% = 4.5% / 2 = 2.25% are above the mean, so the answer is 2.25%

b. significantly low​ (or at least 2 standard deviations below the​ mean).

The other half are below 2 standard deviations, so the answer is 2.25%

c. not significant​ (or less than 2 standard deviations away from the​ mean).

As said, 95.5% are within the band of two standard deviations from the mean, so the answer is 95.5%.

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

The expected value of X is 2 with a standard deviation of 1.34.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each speaker, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is defective, or it is not. The probability of a speaker being defective is independent of other speakers. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

E(X) = np

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}

Stereo speakers are manufactured with a probability of 0.1 of being defective

This means that p = 0.1

Twenty speakers are randomly selected.

This means that n = 20

Let the random variable X be defined as the number of defective speakers. Find the expected value and the standard deviation.

E(X) = np = 20*0.1 = 2

\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{20*0.1*0.9} = 1.34

The expected value of X is 2 with a standard deviation of 1.34.
