The weights of red delicious apples are approximately normally distributed with a mean of 9 Ounces and a standard deviation of 0

.75 ounce. An online gift store sells gift boxes containing delicious apples. At the time of packaging. 5 red delicious apples are randomly selected and packaged in a box. red a. Describe the distribution of the total weight of the 5 randomly selected apples. b. What is the probability that the total weight of the 5 randomly selected apples will be less than 42 ounces? c. The combined weight of the packing material and box in which the apples will be shipped is always 10 ounces. Let W represent the weight of a complete packaged gift box, which consists of the packing material, box, and 5 randomly selected apples. What are the mean and the standard deviation of W?

Answer:

The mean of W is 55 ounces.

The standard deviation of W is 4.33 ounces.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X: weight of a red delicious apple, and B: the weight of the box and packing material.

The distribution that will represent W: the total weight of the packaged 5 randomly selected apples will be also normally distributed.

Applying the property of the mean: E(aX)=aE(X), the mean of W will be:

\mu_W=E(W)=E(5X+B)=5E(X)+E(B)=5*9+10=45+10=55

Applying the property of the variance: V(aX+b)=a^2V(X), the variance of W will be:

\sigma^2_W=V(W)=V(5X+B)=5^2V(X)+V(B)=25*0.75+0=18.75

The mean standard deviation of W will be the squared root of V(W):

\sigma_W=\sqrt{V(W)}=\sqrt{18.75}=4.33

The mean of W is 55 ounces.

The standard deviation of W is 4.33 ounces.

<span>1. If it is intersection then it SHOULD be included in both the sets right? Now we know that odd numbers from 1-100 but the second set are multiples of 5 from 50-150! So we mainly need to look for common numbers which are ODD and are a MULTIPLE OF 5 BETWEEN 50 - 100!! So A={51,53,57,59,61......99} B={55,60,65,70.......95} [We stop till 100 because set A has no such element] So what is A ∩ B here? A ∩ B = {All odd numbers and multiples of 5 between 50 - 100}

Answer:

30240

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 10 possibilities for the first time slot.

After that, there are 9 possibilities for the second time slot.

So on and so forth.

The number of ways five time slots can be assigned is:

10×9×8×7×6 = 30240

Or, using permutation notation, ₁₀P₅.

A matrix a is given. determine if the system ax = b (where x and b have the appropriate number of components) has a solution for
Alborosie
We can write the system in the following form:
\left[\begin{array}{cccc}5&-4&4&2\end{array}\right]  \left[\begin{array}{c}x_1\\x_2\\x_3\\x_4\end{array}\right]  =b
The above system is equivalent to the following equation:
5x_1-4x_2+4x_3+2x_4=b,\forall b\in\mathbb{R}
Of course, the above system has solution for any values of b since there is one equation and four variable, there is infinite number of solution each time.

Step2247 [10]

Answer:

[0, infinity)

Step-by-step explanation:

A square root can only use positive numbers, otherwise it becomes imaginary. A function needs to be real to output real values. Therefore, the domain is everything from 0 onwards.
