The number of chocolate chips in a popular brand of cookie is normally distributed with a mean of 22 chocolate chips per cookie

and a standard deviation of 3.5 chips. When the cookies come out of the oven, only the middle 90% in terms of the number of chocolate chips are acceptable (the rest are considered defective). What are the cutoff numbers for the number of chocolate chips in acceptable cookies? (Give your answers to three decimal places)

Answer:

16,242 and 27,758

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing to keep in mind is that

middle 90% means 5% bottom and 5% top are excluded.

we have that the mean (m) is 22 and the standard deviation (sd) 3,5.

using percentile table, we will note down the z score corresponding to 5th and 95th percentile

z (5th) = -1.645

z (95th) = 1,645

lower cut off value =

m + z (5th) * sd

22 + (-1,645) * 3,5

= 16,242

upper cut value

m + z (95th) * sd

22 + (1,645) * 3.5

= 27,758

Therefore the values are 16,242 and 27,758

Answer:

The cutoff numbers for the number of chocolate chips in acceptable cookies are 16.242 and 27.758

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 22, \sigma = 3.5

Middle 90%

Between the 50 - (90/2) = 5th percentile to the 50 + (90/2) = 95th percentile.

5th percentile:

X when Z has a pvalue of 0.05. So X when Z = -1.645.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

-1.645 = \frac{X - 22}{3.5}

X - 22 = -1.645*3.5

X = 16.242

95th percentile:

X when Z has a pvalue of 0.95. So X when Z = 1.645.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

1.645 = \frac{X - 22}{3.5}

X - 22 = 1.645*3.5

X = 27.758

The cutoff numbers for the number of chocolate chips in acceptable cookies are 16.242 and 27.758

garik1379 [7]

Answer:

A. Positive linear.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that both variables increases, then we have a positive relation. A curvilinear option can not be possible because with this option in some regions could happen that when one variable increases the other one decreases. The negative linear relation can no be because with this option when one variable increases the other decreases. A non linear option is the same as a curvilinear option then can not be possible. Then the best option is a positive linear relationship.

David is buying a cheese wheel priced at $650 before tax. The store charges 8% sales tax. what is the total,including tax,david
Troyanec [42]

If the wheel is $650=8% tax, the tax would be $52 we get that by multiplying 650*8% then add 650+52 and we get 702. so together the cheese wheel is $702

If sin square theta = 0.75, then cos =
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

\cos\theta=\pm0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

\sin^2\theta=0.75

To find \cos\theta

Using trigonometric relations for sums and differences of squares of the ratios.

We know:

\sin^2\theta+\cos^2\theta =1

Plugging in  \sin^2\theta=0.75 in the above relation.

0.75+\cos^2\theta =1

Subtracting both sides by 0.75.

0.75+\cos^2\theta-0.75 =1-0.75

\cos^2\theta =0.25

Taking square root both sides.

\sqrt{\cos^2\theta} =\sqrt{0.25}

∴ \cos\theta=\pm0.5  (Answer)

  • Solving systems of equations using substitution/elimination

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define Systems</u>

-5x + 6y = 55

4x + 3y = 34

<u>Step 2: Rewrite Systems</u>

4x + 3y = 34

  1. Multiply everything by -2:                    -8x - 6y = -68

<u>Step 3: Redefine Systems</u>

-5x + 6y = 55

-8x - 6y = -68

<u>Step 4: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

<em>Elimination</em>

  1. Combine equations:                    -13x = -13
  2. Divide -13 on both sides:             x = 1

<u>Step 5: Solve for </u><em><u>y</u></em>

  1. Define equation:                    4x + 3y = 34
  2. Substitute in <em>x</em>:                       4(1) + 3y = 34
  3. Multiply:                                  4 + 3y = 34
  4. Isolate <em>y</em> term:                        3y = 30
  5. Isolate <em>y</em>:                                 y = 10

The length of a rectangle is given by L=3y + 4x while the width is
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

21y² +34 yx + 8x²

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a rectangle is given by L×W where L is length, and W is width

Given L=3y+4x

          W=7y+2x

Area= (3y+4x) × (7y+2x)

          3y(7y+2x) + 4x(7y+2x)

           21y² + 6yx +28yx+8x²

            21y² +34 yx + 8x²
