Lloyd's Cereal company packages cereal in 1 pound boxes (16 ounces). A sample of 16 boxes is selected at random from the product

ion line every hour, and if the average weight is less than 15 ounces, the machine is adjusted to increase the amount of cereal dispensed. If the mean for 1 hour is 1 pound and the standard deviation is 0.1 pound, what is the probability that the amount dispensed per box will have to be increased?

Answer:

The probability that the amount dispensed per box will have to be increased is 0.0062.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Sample of 16 boxes is selected at random.

If the mean for 1 hour is 1 pound and the standard deviation is 0.1

1 Pound = 16 ounces , then 0.1 Pound = 16/10 = 1.6 ounces

Thus: μ = 16 ounces and σ = 1.6 ounces.

Compute the test statistic z=\frac{\bar x-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

z=\frac{15-16}{\frac{1.6}{\sqrt{16}}}

z=\frac{-1}{\frac{1.6}{4}}

z=\frac{-1}{0.4}

z=-2.5

By using the table.

P value = P(Z<-250) = 0.0062

Thus, the probability that the amount dispensed per box will have to be increased is 0.0062.

I need help to find W =
Anika [276]

Answer:

120

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the figures are similar the angles are the same

<A = <F

<B = <E

<C = <C

<D = <G

We know <G = 120 so angle D = 120

W = <D = 120

What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line y = 8x + 5?
Pavel [41]

The slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line y = 8x + 5 will be -1/8.

<h3>What is the slope of perpendicular lines?</h3>

Suppose that first straight line has slope 's'

Let another straight line be perpendicular to this first line.

Let its slope be 'a'

Then due to them being perpendicular, they have their slopes' multiplication as -1

or

s x a = -1

s = -1/ a

Slope of line y = 8x + 5

s = 8

The slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line y = 8x + 5

8 x a = -1

a = -1/8

Thus, the slope is -1/8.
