Answer:

27.43% probability that the mean volume of a random sample of 144 bottles is less than 12 oz.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, it is important to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples are 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.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, a large sample size can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 12.01, \sigma = 0.2, n = 144, s = \frac{0.2}{\sqrt{144}} = 0.0167

What is the probability that the mean volume of a random sample of 144 bottles is less than 12 oz

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 12

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

Z = \frac{12 - 12.01}{0.0167}

Z = -0.6

Z = -0.6 has a pvalue of 0.2743.

So there is a 27.43% probability that the mean volume of a random sample of 144 bottles is less than 12 oz.

If the perimeter is 28 units, then you know you will have to add the same four numbers to get the perimeter. What times 4 can get you to 28? 7. 7 x 4=28. So what plus 3 gets us to 7? 4. The answer is 4, or x=4.

A wedge of cheese is shaped like a triangular prism. The wedge of cheese is 7 inches tall. The base of the cheese is shaped like
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

193 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a triangular prism:

The volume of a triangular prism is the base area multiplied by the wedge, that is:

V = A_bw

The base area is one half times the triangle base times it's height, so:

V = 0.5*b*h*w

The wedge of cheese is 7 inches tall.

This means that w = 7

The base of the cheese is shaped like a triangle with a base of 11 and a height of 5 inches.

This means that b = 11, h = 5

Volume:

V = 0.5*b*h*w = 0.5*11*5*7 = 192.5

Rounding, approximately 193 in.

Use a common denominator to write an equivelent fractions for each fraction.

Sorry for not giving you the calculation here -

5/12 and 2/9 have denominators divisible by only 3 right? Well The common denominator that can then change is 3 because that's the only number they have in common (except 1)
