Answer:

\mu = 56.8

\sigma = 12.1

A)what is the probability that the sample mean will be More than 58 pounds

P(x>58)

Formula : Z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

Substitute the values :

Z=\frac{58-56.8}{12.1}

Z=0.09917

refer the z table

P(x<58)=0.5359

P(X>58)=1-P(x<58)=1-0.5359=0.4641

Hence the probability that the sample mean will be More than 58 pounds is 0.4641

B)what is the probability that the sample mean will be More than 57 pounds

P(x>57)

Formula : Z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

Substitute the values :

Z=\frac{57-56.8}{12.1}

Z=0.0165

refer the z table

P(x<57)=0.5040

P(X>57)=1-P(x<57)=1-0.5040=0.496

Hence the probability that the sample mean will be More than 57 pounds is 0.496

C)what is the probability that the sample mean will be Between 55 and 57 pound

Formula : Z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

Substitute the values :

Z=\frac{57-56.8}{12.1}

Z=0.0165

refer the z table

P(x<57)=0.5040

Formula : Z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

Substitute the values :

Z=\frac{55-56.8}{12.1}

Z=-0.1487

refer the z table

P(x<55)=0.4443

P(55<x<57)=P9x<57)-P(x<55) =0.5040-0.4443=0.0597

Hence the probability that the sample mean will be Between 55 and 57 pounds is 0.0597

D)what is the probability that the sample mean will be Less than 53 pounds

Formula : Z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

Substitute the values :

Z=\frac{53-56.8}{12.1}

Z=−0.314

refer the z table

P(x<53)=0.3783

The probability that the sample mean will be Less than 53 pounds is 0.3783

E)what is the probability that the sample mean will be Less than 48 pounds

Formula : Z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

Substitute the values :

Z=\frac{48-56.8}{12.1}

Z=−0.727

refer the z table

P(x<48)=0.2358

The probability that the sample mean will be Less than 48 pounds is 0.2358

The SHS step team is selling shs spirit t-shirts to raise money. The orange/black shirt sells for $15 and the black/white shirt
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

Option A)

15x + 10y \geq 1000

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Cost of orange/black shirt = $15

Cost of black/white shirt = $10

Amount of money to be raised is atleast $1000.

Let x be the amount of orange/black shirt and y be the amount of  black/white shirt.

Thus, we can write the inequality:

15x + 10y \geq 1000

That is the total cost of orange/black shirt and black/white shirt should be greater than or equal to $1000.

Thus, the correct answer is

Option A)

15x + 10y \geq 1000
