A company did a quality check on all the packs of roasted almonds it manufactured. Each pack of roasted almonds is targeted to w

eigh 21.25 oz. A pack must weigh within 0.24 oz of the target weight to be accepted. What is the range of rejected masses, x, for the manufactured roasted almonds?
x < 21.01 or x > 21.49 because |x - 0.24| + 21.25 > 0

x < 21.25 or x > 21.49 because |x - 21.25| > 0.24

x < 21.01 or x > 21.49 because |x - 21.25| > 0.24

x < 21.25 or x > 21.49 because |x - 0.24| + 21.25 > 0

The <em>correct answer</em> is:


x < 21.01 or x > 21.49 because |x - 21.25| > 0.24 .


Explanation:


Let x be the weight of a given pack of roasted almonds. We know that the difference between x, the actual weight, and the target weight, 21.25, must be no more than 0.24. Since it could be heavier or lighter than the target weight, we use absolute value:


|x-21.25| ≤ 0.24


However, we want to know the weights of the packs that will be <em>rejected</em>. This changes our inequality; now we want the ones that are <em>more than</em> 0.24 different:


|x-21.25| > 0.24


To solve this, we must set up two inequalities (absolute value could mean heavier than or lighter than, we must account for both):


x - 21.25 > 0.24 or x - 21.25 < -0.24


When we set this up, we change the answer to a negative in the second inequality. Due to the rules of inequalities, when we change the sign of the number, we must change the inequality sign as well. This is why the second inequality has a less than rather than a greater than.


To solve each inequality, we will add 21.25 to each side:


x - 21.25 + 21.25 > 0.24 + 21.25 or x - 21.25 + 21.25 < -0.24 + 21.25

x > 21.49 or x < 21.01


This makes the correct answer the third option.

Answer:

Option C -  x or x>21.49 because  |x-21.25|> 0.24

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Each pack of roasted almonds is targeted to weigh 21.25 oz. A pack must weigh within 0.24 oz of the target weight to be accepted.

To find : What is the range of rejected masses, x, for the manufactured roasted almonds?

Solution :

Let x be the weight of a given pack of roasted almonds.

Each pack of roasted almonds is targeted to weigh 21.25 oz.

A pack must weigh within 0.24 oz of the target weight to be accepted.

This implies |x-21.25| > 0.24

We have to find the range of rejected masses, x, for the manufactured roasted almonds.

We know, |x-a| >b

\Rightarrow -b

So,  |x-21.25| >0.24

\Rightarrow -0.24>(x-21.25)>0.24

-0.24>x-21.25 or x-21.25>0.24

x or x>21.49

Therefore, The range of rejected masses is x or x>21.49 because  |x-21.25|> 0.24

Hence, Option C is correct.

if you roll a fair 6-sided die 9 times, what is the probability that at least 2 of the rolls come up as a 3 or a 4?
Kay [80]

Using the binomial distribution, it is found that there is a 0.857 = 85.7% probability that at least 2 of the rolls come up as a 3 or a 4.

For each die, there are only two possible outcomes, either a 3 or a 4 is rolled, or it is not. The result of a roll is independent of any other roll, hence, the <em>binomial distribution</em> is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

The parameters are:

  • x is the number of successes.
  • n is the number of trials.
  • p is the probability of a success on a single trial.

In this problem:

  • There are 9 rolls, hence n = 9.
  • Of the six sides, 2 are 3 or 4, hence p = \frac{2}{6} = 0.3333

The desired probability is:

P(X \geq 2) = 1 - P(X < 2)

In which:

P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)

Then

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 0) = C_{9,0}.(0.3333)^{0}.(0.6667)^{9} = 0.026

P(X = 1) = C_{9,1}.(0.3333)^{1}.(0.6667)^{8} = 0.117

Then:

P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.026 + 0.117 = 0.143

P(X \geq 2) = 1 - P(X < 2) = 1 - 0.143 = 0.857

0.857 = 85.7% probability that at least 2 of the rolls come up as a 3 or a 4.
