The distribution of weights of potato chip bags filled off a production line is unknown. However, the mean is m=13.35 OZs and th

e standard deviation is s=.1200 OZs. To check the quality of the potato chip bags, a random sample of n=36 bags is selected.

Answer:

a) \mu_{\bar X} =13.35

e.none of the above

b) \sigma_{\bar X}= \frac{0.12}{\sqrt{36}}= 0.02

a.0.0200

c) z = \frac{13.32-13.35}{\frac{0.12}{\sqrt{36}}}= -1.5

P(\bar X< 13.32)= P(z

a.0.0668

d) z = \frac{13.30-13.35}{\frac{0.12}{\sqrt{36}}}= -2.5

z = \frac{13.36-13.35}{\frac{0.12}{\sqrt{36}}}= 0.5

P(13.30

c.0.6853

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

The central limit theorem states that "if we have a population with mean μ and standard deviation σ and take sufficiently large random samples from the population with replacement, then the distribution of the sample means will be approximately normally distributed. This will hold true regardless of whether the source population is normal or skewed, provided the sample size is sufficiently large".

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the weights of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(13.35,0.12)  

Where \mu=13.35 and \sigma=0.12

From the central limit theorem we know that the distribution for the sample mean \bar X is given by:

\bar X \sim N(\mu, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})

Part a

\mu_{\bar X} =13.35

Part b

\sigma_{\bar X}= \frac{0.12}{\sqrt{36}}= 0.02

Part c

We want this probability:

P(\bar X< 13.32)

For this case we can use the z score formula given by:

z = \frac{\bar X -\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

And using this formula we got:

z = \frac{13.32-13.35}{\frac{0.12}{\sqrt{36}}}= -1.5

P(\bar X< 13.32)= P(z

Part d

We want this probability:

P(13.30

For this case we can use the z score formula given by:

z = \frac{\bar X -\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

And using this formula we got:

z = \frac{13.30-13.35}{\frac{0.12}{\sqrt{36}}}= -2.5

z = \frac{13.36-13.35}{\frac{0.12}{\sqrt{36}}}= 0.5

P(13.30

In art class,Kerion is coloring a pattern where half of the squares on her paper are being colored blue. Of the blue squares,1/3
stiv31 [10]
To get the fraction of blue squares with stripes we shall proceed as follows;
fraction of blue squares=1/2
1/3 of the blue squares have stripes, therefore we shall have:
fraction of blue square with stripes
=1/3 of 1/2
=1/3×1/2
=1/6
Hence we conclude that the fraction of blue squares with stripes was 1/6 of the total colored squares.

What is the rule for a reflection across the y axis?
Ilya [14]

Answer:

When you reflect a point across the y-axis, the y-coordinate remains the same, but the x-coordinate is transformed into its opposite (its sign is changed). ... the line y = x is the point (y, x). The reflection of the point (x,y) across. the line y = -x is the point (-y, -x).

Look at this linear inequality. y≤−4x−1 Which graph shows the solution to the linear inequality?
Wittaler [7]
Just look at the pic. U need to have the y-intercept at -1. From there you go down 4 and to the right one and plot the point.
