Answer:

The probability that a jar contains more than 466 g is 0.119.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a jar of peanut butter contains a mean of 454 g with a standard deviation of 10.2 g.

Let X = <u><em>Amount of peanut butter in a jar</em></u>

The z-score probability distribution for the normal distribution is given by;

                                Z  =  \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}  ~ N(0,1)

where, \mu = population mean = 454 g

           \sigma = standard deviation = 10.2 g

So, X ~ Normal(\mu=454 , \sigma^{2} = 10.2^{2})

Now, the probability that a jar contains more than 466 g is given by = P(X > 466 g)

            P(X > 466 g) = P( \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} > \frac{466-454}{10.2} ) = P(Z > 1.18) = 1 - P(Z \leq 1.18)

                                                                  = 1 - 0.881 = <u>0.119</u>

The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 1.18 in the z table which has an area of 0.881.

baherus [9]

Answer:

The interval estimate is above 70%, so infer that it will be supported.

Step-by-step explanation:

The evidence that 95% confidence interval estimating the proportion of students supporting the fee increase is [0.75, 0.85] supports university officials' claim that at least 70% of the voting student population supports a fee increase.

Therefore we can infer that a fee increase will be supported.

Work out the volume of this prism?
qaws [65]

Answer:

V = 300 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume (V) of the prism is calculated as

V = Ah ( A is the area of the base and h the height )

Here A = 15 and h = 20 , then

V = 15 × 20 = 300 cm³

Bob used identical cubes to build a rectangular tower that is 25 cubes tall, 5 cubes wide, and 6 cubes long. Beatrice used the s
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

ok so first we have to find out how meaning cubes are in each tower so

bob 25*5*6=750

beatrice 12*3*5=180

ok so we want to see how many extra layers bob can add on with beatrices blockes so from looking at bobs tower we can see that 5*6 each layer is 30 so

180/30=6

so bobs will be 31 blocks tall

Hope This Helps!!!
