The port of South Louisiana, located along 54 miles of the Mississippi River between New Orleans and Baton Rouge, is the largest

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

a) 0.7287

b) 0.9663

c) 0.237

d) 3.65 tons of cargo per week or more that will require the port to extend its operating hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 4.5 million tons of cargo per week

Standard Deviation, σ = 0 .82 million tons

We are given that the distribution of number of tons of cargo handled per week is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

$z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

a) P( port handles less than 5 million tons of cargo per week)

P(x < 5)

$P( x < 5) = P( z < \displaystyle\frac{5 - 4.5}{0.82}) = P(z < 0.609)$

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,

$P(x < 5) =0.7287= 72.87\%$

b) P( port handles 3 or more million tons of cargo per week)

$P(x \geq 3) = P(z \geq \displaystyle\frac{3-4.5}{0.82}) = P(z \geq −1.82926)\\\\P( z \geq −1.82926) = 1 - P(z < -1.829)$

Calculating the value from the standard normal table we have,

$1 - 0.0337 = 0.9663 = 96.63\%\\P( x \geq 3) = 96.63\%$

c)P( port handles between 3 million and 4 million tons of cargo per week)

$P(3 \leq x \leq 4) = P(\displaystyle\frac{3 - 4.5}{0.82} \leq z \leq \displaystyle\frac{4-4.5}{0.82}) = P(-1.829 \leq z \leq -0.609)\\\\= P(z \leq -0.609) - P(z < -1.829)\\= 0.271-0.034 = 0.237= 23.7\%$

$P(3 \leq x \leq 4) = 23.7\%$

d) P(X=x) = 0.85

We have to find the value of x such that the probability is 0.85.

P(X > x)

$P( X > x) = P( z > \displaystyle\frac{x - 4.5}{0.82})=0.85$

$= 1 -P( z \leq \displaystyle\frac{x - 4.5}{0.82})=0.85$

$=P( z \leq \displaystyle\frac{x - 4.5}{0.82})=0.15$

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,

$P( z \leq -1.036) = 0.15$

$\displaystyle\frac{x - 4.5}{0.82} = -1.036\\x = 3.65$

Thus, 3.65 tons of cargo per week or more that will require the port to extend its operating hours.

A car mechanic rounds a car's weight to the nearest thousand. He says the weight is 4,000 pounds. What is the least and the grea

serg [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a car mechanic rounds a car's weight to the nearest thousand

By rounding off to nearest 1000, we mean we look at the last three digits. If these digits are 500 or greater, then we round the thousands digit up, and if they are less than 500, then we round down, keeping the thousand's digit the same.

To simplify the above we can say the 100th digit if greater than or equal to 5, we round off the 1000th digit by 1 up otherwise leave it as it is

Example, 18765 is rounded off as 19000 while

15462 is rounded off as 15000

Here the answer after rounding off is 4000

This is possible if the weight was atleast 3500 because in this case he would round off to 4000 or highest 4499.

If 3499 or 4500 the rounding off would not have been 4000

So least number is 3500 and greatest number is 4499.
