Farmers often sell fruits and vegetables at farmers’ markets during the summer. Each tomato stand at the Bentonville farmers’ ma

rket has a daily demand for tomatoes that is approximately normally distributed with a mean equal to 125 tomatoes per day and a standard deviation equal to 30 tomatoes per day. If a stand has 83 tomatoes available to be sold at the beginning of the day, what is the approximate probability that they will all be sold?

Answer:

the probability that all tomatoes are sold is  0.919 (91.9%)

Step-by-step explanation:

since the random variable X= number of tomatoes that are demanded,  is normally distributed we can make the standard random variable Z such that:

Z=(X-μ)/σ = (83 - 125)/30 = -1.4

where μ= expected value of X= mean of X (since X is normally distributed)  , σ=standard deviation of X

then all tomatoes are sold if the demand surpasses 83 tomatos , therefore

P(X>83) = P(Z>-1.4) = 1- P(Z≤-1.4)

from tables of standard normal distribution →P(Z≤-1.4)=0.081 , therefore

P(X>83) = 1- P(Z≤-1.4)  = 1 - 0.081 = 0.919 (91.9%)

thus the probability that all tomatoes are sold is  0.919 (91.9%)

The proper scientific notation for 676,000,000,000 is?
tia_tia [17]
6.76 x 10^11
this is because when you are placing something in a scientific notation you basically move the decimal place behind the last hole number in this case 6. and count the remaining  numbers behind the decimal such as .76,000,000,000 which there 11 counting 76 with the zeros. then you place the number of places behind the decimal as an exponent of 11 and keep all real numbers besides 0 as your other half

Solve 2(a + 7) = 5a - 13
timurjin [86]

Answer:

a = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

2(a + 7) = 5a - 13

We want to bring a to one side, I will choose to bring it to the right

First, expand the bracket by multiplying 2 with a + 7

2a + 14 = 5a - 13

Bring the -13 to the left by adding 13 to both sides

2a + 14 + 13 = 5a - 13 + 13

Simplify

2a + 27 = 5a

Bring the 2a to the right by subtracting 2a from both sides

2a - 2a + 27 = 5a - 2a

Simplify

27 = 5a - 2a

27 = 3a

Bring the 3 to the left by dividing both sides by 3

27÷3 = a

Simplify

a = 9
