The bass in Clear Lake have weights that are normally distributed with a mean of 2.2 pounds and a standard deviation of 0.6 poun

ds. Suppose you catch a stringer of 6 bass with a total weight of 15.9 pounds. Here we determine how unusual this is. (a) What is the mean fish weight of your catch of 6? Round your answer to 1 decimal place.
______ pounds
(b) If 6 bass are randomly selected from Clear Lake, find the probability that the mean weight is greater than the mean of those you caught. Round your answer to 4 decimal places. ________ (c) Which statement best describes your situation?

_____ This is not particularly unusual because the mean weight of your fish is only 0.5 pounds above the population average.

_____ This is unusual because the probability of randomly selecting 6 fish with a mean weight greater than or equal to the mean of your stringer is less than the benchmark probability of 0.05.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) What is the mean fish weight of your catch of 6? Round your answer to 1 decimal place.  =Total weight/no of fish in sample

_\frac{15.9}{6} =2.65_____ pounds

(b) If 6 bass are randomly selected from Clear Lake, find the probability that the mean weight is greater than the mean of those you caught. Round your answer to 4 decimal places.

___P(mean >2.65)=P(Z>\frac{2.65-2.2}{\frac{0.6}{\sqrt{0.6} } } \\=P(Z>0.18)\\=0.5-0.0714=0.4286_____

Sample mean follows a normal distribution with mean = 2.2 and std error = 0.6/sqrt 6

(c) Which statement best describes your situation?

_____ This is not particularly unusual because the mean weight of your fish is only 0.5 pounds above the population average.

There exist infinitely many common fractions $\frac{a}{b}$ , where $a > 0$ and $b > 0$ and for which $\frac{3}{5} < \fr
vredina [299]

Answer:

3/5 has the smallest denominator

Step-by-step explanation:

Question:

There exist infinitely many common fractions a/b , where a > 0 and b > 0 and for which 3/5 < a/b< 2/3. Of these common fractions, which has the smallest denominator? Express your answer as a common fraction.

Solution

A Common fraction is a rational number written in the form: a/b. Where a and b are both integers.

The denominator and numerator in this case are greater than zero. That is, they are non zeros.

The least common denominator (LCD) of two non- zero denominators is the smallest whole number that is divisible by each of the denominators.

To find the smallest denominator between 3/5 and 2/3, we would convert the fractions to equivalent fractions with a common denominator by finding their LCM (lowest common multiple).

When comparing two fractions with like denominators, the larger fraction is the one with the greater numerator and the smaller fraction is one with the smaller numerator.

In our solution after comparing, the smaller fraction would have the smallest denominator.

Find attached the solution.

Can any kind soul help me ASAP!​
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

Hope it helps u

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that ,

Mean = sum of the terms/ numbers of terms

But here grouped data is given so , we use the formula

Mean=∑[f. m]/ ∑f

where f is frequency and m is mid point of each height ,

Now first we have to find the mid point of each interval, where

midpoint of each interval = (lower boundary + upper boundary)/2

m1=(150+154)/2 = 152

m2=(155+159)/2= 157,now found other by same formula, for each interval

m3= 162

m4= 167

m5=172    Now we find the midpoint of each interval ,so now

∑[f. m]=f1*m1+f2*m2+f3*m3+f4*m4+f5*m5

now putting the values of each frequency for given interval and midpoint of each interval we will get,

∑[f. m]=456+942+1296+167*x+344 = 167*x+3038

Now find,

∑f=f1+f2+f3+f4+f5

∑f=19+x

Now we have,

∑[f. m]=167*x+3038

∑f=19+x

also given mean height=161.6 cm

putt these values in above equation we get,

161.6=\frac{167*x+3038}{19+x}

now solve this ,

161.6(19+x)=167*x+3038

3070.4+161.6*x=167*x+3038

3070.4-3038=167*x-161.6*x

32.4=5.4*x

x=32.4/5.4

<h2>x=6   Ans........</h2>

Joseph borrowed a book from a library. The library charged a fixed rental for the book and a late fee for every day the book was
Paha777 [63]
The coefficient, 0.25, of the expression represents the late fee for every day the book was overdue.

And the constant, 2, represents the fixed rental fee.

The variable, x, represents the number of days Joseph had the book for.

Hope this helps :)

PLEASE HELP. TAKE AT HOME TEST. if u = LN5 and v = LN2, write LN8/15 in terms of u and v. (8/15 is 8 over 25)
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

\ln( \frac{8}{25} )  = 3v  -  2u

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that

u=  \ln(5)

and

v =  \ln2

This implies that;

5 =  {e}^{u}

and

2 =  {e}^{v}

Now find and expresion for

\ln( \frac{8}{25} )

Which is

\ln( \frac{8}{25} )  =  ln(8)  -  ln(25)

\ln( \frac{8}{25} )  =  ln( {2}^{3} )  -  ln(  {5}^{2} )

\ln( \frac{8}{25} )  = 3 ln( {2} )  -  2ln(5)

\ln( \frac{8}{25} )  = 3v  -  2u
