Step-by-step explanation:
A shipping company charges $6 to ship a package that weighs up to 1 pound and $2 for each additional pound or portion of a pound.
lets make an assumption that the total weight of the shipment is x pound and cost for shipping is y.
the shipping company charges $6 for the first pound.
Up to now the charge is y=6
After 1 pound, i.e for the remaining (x-1) pounds, they charge $2 per pound.
So, the total charge will be, y=6+2(x-1)
weight is always starting from zero as there is no negative weight.so X>0
so the equation is 6(2x-1), where X is more than 0
Using the normal distribution, it is found that 10.56% of the apples weigh less than Jermaine's apple.
--------------------
In a <em>normal distribution</em> with mean
and standard deviation
, the z-score of a measure X is given by:
- It measures how many standard deviations the measure X 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, which is the percentile of X, that is, the proportion of measures that are less than X.
In this problem:
- Mean of 0.33 pounds, thus
. - Standard deviation of 0.06 pounds, thus
. - The proportion that is less than 0.25 pounds is the p-value of Z when X = 0.25, thus:



has a p-value of 0.1056.
0.1056 x 100% = 10.56%.
10.56% of the apples weigh less than Jermaine's apple.
