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.

Agata [3.3K]
5\dfrac{1}{4}\cdot1\dfrac{5}{9}=\dfrac{5\cdot4+1}{4}\cdot\dfrac{1\cdot9+5}{9}=\dfrac{21}{4}\cdot\dfrac{14}{9}=\dfrac{7}{2}\cdot\dfrac{7}{3}\\\\=\dfrac{7\cdot7}{2\cdot3}=\dfrac{49}{6}=\dfrac{48+1}{6}=\boxed{8\dfrac{1}{6}}

$55 per gallon. 1 gallon covers 100sqft. What is the price per sqft?
Ann [662]

The price per square foot is 0.55$

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this problem by applying the rule of three.

In fact, we know that:

- The price per 1 gallon is $55

- The area covered by 1 gallon is 100 ft^2

So this means that the price per 100 ft^2 (1 gallon) is $55.

Here we want to find the price per square foot, so we can write:

\frac{x}{1}=\frac{55}{100}

And solving for x, the price per square foot, we find:

x=\frac{55}{100}=0.55

So, the price per square foot is 0.55$.
