Hens usually begin laying eggs when they are about 6 months old. Young hens tend to lay smaller​ eggs, often weighing less than

the desired minimum weight of 51 grams. Complete parts​ a) through​ c) below. ​a) The average weight of the eggs produced by the young hens is 50.1 ​grams, and only 25​% of their eggs exceed the desired minimum weight. If a Normal model is​ appropriate, what would the standard deviation of the egg weights​ be?

Answer:

          \large\boxed{\large\boxed{1.33g}}

Explanation:

Your question has one part only: <em>a) The average weight of the eggs produced by the young hens is 50.1 ​grams, and only 25​% of their eggs exceed the desired minimum weight. If a Normal model is​ appropriate, what would the standard deviation of the egg weights​ be?</em>

<em />

<h2><em>Solution</em></h2><h2><em /></h2>

You are given the <em>mean</em>, the reference value, and the <em>percent of egss that exceeds that minimum</em>.

In terms of the parameters of a normal distribution that is:

  • <em>mean</em> =<em> 50.1g</em> (μ)
  • X<em> = 51 g</em>
  • Area of the graph above X = 51 g = <em>25%</em>

Using a standard<em> normal distribution</em> table, you can find the Z-score for which the area under the curve is greater than 25%, i.e. 0.25

The tables with two decimals for the Z-score show probability 0.2514 for Z-score of 0.67 and probabilidad 0.2483 for Z-score = 0.68.

Thus, you must interpolate. Since, (0.2514 + 0.2483)/2  ≈ 0.25, your Z-score is in the middle.

That is, Z-score = (0.67 + 0.68)/2 = 0.675.

Now use the formula for Z-score and solve for the <em>standard deviation</em> (σ):

          Z-score=(x-\mu)/\sigma

          0.675=(51g-50.1g)/\sigma

          \sigma =0.9g/0.675=1.33g

A teenage boy believes strongly that success in playing football makes him more "manly" and he judges his male peers by their kn
lianna [129]

Answer:

I. Viewing many television programs that associate successful males with football

III. Operant conditioning

IV. Gender schemata

Explanation:

As we can see in the question above, the boy contracted a very wrong custom of associating virility with his ability and taste for playing football. According to the boy, he is only manly and manly enough boys who like and know how to play football.

This thought (which is extremely wrong) occurs with the influence of some things. The first is the frequency with which this boy watches many television programs that show men, soccer players with a successful and well-established career.

The second influence is the result of operant conditioning, which is a psychological concept characterized by a form of learning that allows a person to associate a situation with a punishment. In this case, the boy associates the lack of skill and the lack of interest in football with words that cause embarrassment as punishment. For this reason, he calls his colleagues who don't like football "sissy".

The third influence occurs through gender schemes, which is a term used to describe the separation of things, activities and behavior as feminine and masculine, in addition to determining that only women can do what is considered feminine and only men can do what it's male. The boy associates football with masculinity and those who do not like or have no interest in football are feminine, effeminate and not men.
