Big chickens: The weights of broilers (commercially raised chickens) are approximately normally distributed with mean 1387 grams

and standard deviation 192 grams. Use the TI-84 Plus calculator to answer the following. (a) What proportion of broilers weigh between 1150 and 1308 grams? (b) What is the probability that a randomly selected broiler weighs more than 1510 grams? (c) Is it unusual for a broiler to weigh more than 1610 grams? Round the answers to at least four decimal places.

Answer:

a) 0.2318

b) 0.2609

c) No it is not unusual for a broiler to weigh more than 1610 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve using z score formula

z-score is is z = (x-μ)/σ, where x is the raw score, μ is the population mean, and σ is the population standard deviation.

Mean 1387 grams and standard deviation 192 grams. Use the TI-84 Plus calculator to answer the following.

(a) What proportion of broilers weigh between 1150 and 1308 grams?

For 1150 grams

z = 1150 - 1387/192

= -1.23438

Probability value from Z-Table:

P(x = 1150) = 0.10853

For 1308 grams

z = 1308 - 1387/192

= -0.41146

Probability value from Z-Table:

P(x = 1308) = 0.34037

Proportion of broilers weigh between 1150 and 1308 grams is:

P(x = 1308) - P(x = 1150)

0.34037 - 0.10853

= 0.23184

≈ 0.2318

(b) What is the probability that a randomly selected broiler weighs more than 1510 grams?

1510 - 1387/192

= 0.64063

Probabilty value from Z-Table:

P(x<1510) = 0.73912

P(x>1510) = 1 - P(x<1510) = 0.26088

≈ 0.2609

(c) Is it unusual for a broiler to weigh more than 1610 grams?

1610- 1387/192

= 1.16146

Probability value from Z-Table:

P(x<1610) = 0.87727

P(x>1610) = 1 - P(x<1610) = 0.12273

≈ 0.1227

No it is not unusual for a broiler to weigh more than 1610 grams

How to do this because I do not understand how to do it

mel-nik [20]

Answer: 24.52%

-------------------------------------------

Work Shown:

Convert the time 7:45, which represents 7 min 45 sec, to seconds only
7:45 = (7 min) + (45 sec)
7:45 = (7*60 sec) + (45 sec)
7:45 = (420 sec) + (45 sec)
7:45 = (420+45) sec
7:45 = 465 sec

Do the same for 5:51
5:51 = (5 min) + (51 sec)
5:51 = (5*60 sec) + (51 sec)
5:51 = (300 sec) + (51 sec)
5:51 = (300+51) sec
5:51 = 351 sec

So the initial time is 465 seconds and it drops to 351 seconds
Subtract the values to find the amount dropped: 465-351 = 114

Divide that difference over the initial time: 114/465 = 0.24516

Move the decimal over 2 spots to the right to convert to a percentage: 0.24516 --> 24.516%

Then round to the nearest hundredth of a percent (2 decimal places) to go from 24.516% to 24.52% which is our final answer

So the reduction is roughly 24.52%
This means if you took 24.52% of the initial time and subtracted it off, then you'd get to about 351 seconds.

Carlotta subscribes to the HotBurn music service. She can download no more than 12 song files per week. Carlotta has already dow

UNO [17]

Answer:

Inequality: $x+10\leq 12$

Inequality solved: $x\leq 2$

The graph is attached.

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to remember the meaning of the inequalities symbols:

: Less than.

$>$ : Greater than.

$\leq$ : Less than or equal to.

$\geq$ : Greater than or equal to.

Let be "x" the number of more songs Carlotta can download.

According to the information given in the exercise, she can download no more than 12 song files per week. This indicates that you must use the symbol $\leq$ .

Since she has already downloaded 10 song files this week, you can write the following inequality that represents this situation:

$x+10\leq 12$

In order to solve it, you must subtract 10 from both sides:

$x+10-10\leq 12-10\\\\x\leq 2$

Plot this result on a number line.

Since the symbol of the inequality is $\leq$ , the dot must be filled (Observe the number line attached).

Write a relationship for a function whose k(x) values are 5 more than four times the principal square root of x .

bearhunter [10]

Answer:

$k(x)=5+4\sqrt{x}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Write a function whose k(x) values are 5 more than four times the principal square root of x.

So,

the principal square root of x $=\sqrt{x};$

four times the principal square root of x $=4\sqrt{x};$

5 more than four times the principal square root of x $=5+4\sqrt{x};$

Thus,

$k(x)=5+4\sqrt{x}$
