Answer:

0.0179 = 1.79% probability that the mean of this sample is less than 15.99 ounces of water.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution

When the distribution is normal, we use 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 normally distributed random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

In this question, we have that:

\mu = 16.15, \sigma = 0.45, n = 35, s = \frac{0.45}{\sqrt{35}} = 0.0761

What is the probability that the mean of this sample is less than 15.99 ounces of water?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 15.99. So

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

Z = \frac{15.99 - 16.15}{0.0761}

Z = -2.1

Z = -2.1 has a pvalue of 0.0179

0.0179 = 1.79% probability that the mean of this sample is less than 15.99 ounces of water.

Rama09 [41]

Answer:

The answer is False,

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is False because in some expressions if there are parentheses and there is a subtraction problem in the parentheses but there is an addition problem in front of the parentheses that does not exactly mean that you do the addition first, this is because the subtraction is inside the parentheses and so since the subtraction is in parentheses it is done fist.

You plan to construct a brick wall measuring 14.5 ft. in length, 5.5 ft. high, and 0.5 ft. in width. If a brick measures 6 in. x
Licemer1 [7]

Answer: There are 1436 bricks that he will need to make a brick wall.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Dimensions of a brick wall is given by

Length = 14.5 feet

Width = 0.5 feet

Height = 5.5 feet

Dimensions of a brick is given by

Length = 6 inch

Width = 4 inch

Height = 2 inch

We need to find the number of bricks :

So, Number of bricks is given by

\text{ Number of bricks }=\frac{\text{ Volume of brick wall }}{\text{ Volume of brick}}\\\\=\frac{14.5\times 5.5\times 0.5\times 12\times 12\times 12}{6\times 4\times 2}\\\\=1435.5\\\\=1436

Hence, there are 1436 bricks that he will need to make a brick wall.
