The amounts a soft drink machine is designed to dispense for each drink are normally distributed, with a mean of 12.1 fluid ounc

es and a standard deviation of 0.3 fluid ounce. A drink is randomly selected.
a) Find the probability that the drink is less than 11.9 fluid ounces (round to four decimal places as needed).
b) Find the probability that the drink is between 11.6 and 11.9 fluid ounces (round to four decimal places as needed).
c) Find the probability that the drink is more than 12.6 fluid ounces (round to four decimal places as needed)
d) Is the drink containing more than 12.6 fluid ounces an unusual event?
A.No, because the probability that a drink containing more than 12.6 fluid ounces is greater than 0.05, this event is not unusual.
B.No, because the probability that a drink containing more than 12.6 fluid ounces is less than 0.05, this event is not unusual.
C.yes, because the probability that a drink containing more than 12.6 fluid ounces is greater than 0.05, this event is unusual.
D.Yes, because the probability that a drink containing more than 12.6 fluid ounces is less than 0.05, this event is unusual.

Answer:

\mu = 12.1\\\sigma = 0.3

a) Find the probability that the drink is less than 11.9 fluid ounces

We are supposed to find P(x<11.9)

x= 11.9

We will use z score formula :

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

z=\frac{11.9-12.1}{0.3}

z=-0.67

Refer the z table

So, P(z<-0.67) = 0.2514

Hence the probability that the drink is less than 11.9 fluid ounces is 0.2514

b)Find the probability that the drink is between 11.6 and 11.9 fluid ounces

x= 11.6

We will use z score formula :

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

z=\frac{11.6-12.1}{0.3}

z=-1.67

x= 11.9

We will use z score formula :

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

z=\frac{11.9-12.1}{0.3}

z=-0.67

We are supposed to find P(11.6<x<11.9)

So, P(11.6<x<11.9)= P(x<11.9)-P(x<11.6)

P(-1.67<z<-0.67)= P(z<-0.67)-P(z<-1.67)

Refer the z table

P(-1.67<z<-0.67)= P(z<-0.67)-P(z<-1.67)

P(-1.67<z<-0.67)= 0.2514-0.0475

P(-1.67<z<-0.67)= 0.2039

So, the probability that the drink is between 11.6 and 11.9 fluid ounces is 0.2039.

c)Find the probability that the drink is more than 12.6 fluid ounces

We are supposed to find P(x>12.6)

x= 12.6

We will use z score formula :

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

z=\frac{12.6-12.1}{0.3}

z=1.67

Refer the z table

P(x>12.6)=1-P(x<12.6)

P(z>1.67)=1-P(z<1.67)

P(z>1.67)=1-0.9525

P(z>1.67)=0.0475

Hence  the probability that the drink is more than 12.6 fluid ounces is 0.0475

d) Is the drink containing more than 12.6 fluid ounces an unusual event?

Since p value is less than  alpha (0.05)

Answer = No, because the probability that a drink containing more than 12.6 fluid ounces is less than 0.05, this event is not unusual.

plz help me The temperature at noon was 22°. From 6 AM until noon, the temperature changed by an average of 5° per hour. What WA
nevsk [136]

Answer:

-8° OR 52°

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember 22.

Now, you'll need to take 12 PM and see how many hours it is from 6 AM to 12 PM noon: 6-7, 7-8, 8-9, 9-10, 10-11, 11-12. We have 6 hours from 6 AM to 12 PM.

The problem gives us the average number of degrees it changed: 5. Since it doesn't specify HOW it changed, there are 2 answers.

In order to find the number of degrees it changed, we have to take the hours times the amount given, or in this case, 6 x 5 which equals 30.

Now that we know the fluxation number, we can either add or subtract 30 from the degrees given at noon.

So, 22 - 30 = <em>-8</em> AND 22 + 30 = <em>50</em>.

I hope that helps! :)

2 1/2 x 3 1/5 fast please
vova2212 [387]

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Let's turn each mixed fraction into an improper fraction:</u>

2 \frac{1}{2} =\frac{2}{2} +\frac{2}{2} +\frac{1}{2} =\frac{5}{2}

3\frac{1}{5} =\frac{5}{5} +\frac{5}{5} +\frac{5}{5} +\frac{1}{5} =\frac{16}{5}

<u>Multiply:</u>

\frac{5}{2} \times \frac{16}{5} =\frac{80}{10}

<u>Simplify:</u>

\frac{80 \div 10}{10 \div 10} =\frac{8}{1} =8

8 is your simplified product.
