The amount of icing on a Cuppie Cake large cupcake follows a Normal distribution, with a mean of 2 ounces and a standard deviati

on of 0.3 ounce. A random sample of 16 cupcakes is selected every day and measured. What is the probability the mean weight will exceed 2.1 ounces?

Answer: the probability the mean weight will exceed 2.1 ounces is 0.09

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the random variable representing the amount of icing on a Cuppie Cake large cupcake. Since it is normally distributed and the population mean and population standard deviation are known, we would apply the formula,

z = (x - µ)/(σ/√n)

Where

x = sample mean

µ = population mean

σ = standard deviation

n = number of samples

From the information given,

µ = 2

σ = 0.3

n = 16

x = 2.1

the probability that the mean weight will exceed 2.1 ounces is expressed as

P(x ≥ 2.1)

For x = 2.1

z = (2.1 - 2)/(0.3/√16) = 1.33

We would determine the probability for the area above z = 1.33 from the normal distribution table. It would be

p = 1 - 0.91 = 0.09

P(x ≥ 2.1) = 0.09

The mean of birth weights for individual babies in the population is 3,500 grams. What is the mean birth weight for the sampling
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

The mean birth weight for the sampling distribution is

3,500 grams.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sample mean is the average of the sample values collected divided by the number of the samples, while the population mean is the average or mean of all the values in the population.  If the sample is random and the sample size is large enough, then the sample mean would be a good estimator of the population mean.  This implies that with a randomly distributed and unbiased sample size, the sample mean and population mean will be equal, according to the central limit theorem. Therefore, the mean of the sample means will always approximate the population mean.

Find the equation of the form y=ax²+bx+c whose graph passes through the points (1,6), (3, 20), and (−2,15).
Korolek [52]

Answer:

c = \dfrac{25}{4}

b = \dfrac{-13}{8}

a = \dfrac{11}{8}

Step-by-step explanation:

given ,

equation y=ax²+bx+c

passing through points (1,6), (3, 20), and (−2,15).

then these points will satisfy the equation

at (1,6)

y  = a x²+b x+c

6 = a(1)² + b (1) + c

a + b + c = 6------(1)

at (3 , 20)

y  = a x²+b x+c

20 = a(3)² + b (3) + c

9 a + 3 b + c = 20------(2)

at (−2,15)

y  = a x²+b x+c

15 = a(-2)² + b (-2) + c

4 a -2 b + c = 15------(3)

solving equation (1),(2) and (3)

a = 6 - b - c

9 (6 - b - c)+ 3 b + c = 20

6 b + 7 c = 34-------(4)

4 (6 - b - c) -2 b + c = 15

2 b + c = 3----------(5)

on solving equation (4) and (5)

c = \dfrac{25}{4}

b = \dfrac{-13}{8}

a = \dfrac{11}{8}

Mr. Jones purchased two sodas.
kondaur [170]

Answer:

  the prices were $0.05 and $1.05

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'a' and 'b' represent the costs of the two sodas. The given relations are ...

  a + b = 1.10 . . . . the total cost of the sodas was $1.10

  a - b = 1.00 . . . . one soda costs $1.00 more than the other one

__

Adding these two equations, we get ...

  2a = 2.10

  a = 1.05 . . . . . divide by 2

  1.05 -b = 1.00 . . . . . substitute for a in the second equation

  1.05 -1.00 = b = 0.05 . . . add b-1 to both sides

The prices of the two sodas were $0.05 and $1.05.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

This is a "sum and difference" problem, in which you are given the sum and the difference of two values. As we have seen here, <em>the larger value is half the sum of the sum and difference</em>: a = (1+1.10)/2 = 1.05. If we were to subtract one equation from the other, we would find <em>the smaller value is half the difference of the sum and difference</em>: b = (1.05 -1.00)/2 = 0.05.

This result is the general solution to sum and difference problems.

A couple wants to have three children. Assume that the probabilities of a newborn being male or being female are the same and th
liberstina [14]

Answer:

Let the G represent the Girl child

and, B represents the Boy child.

Then Sample Space = {BGG, GBG, GGB, BBG, BGB, GBB, BBB, GGG}

Thus, There are 8 sample space.

Then, Probability that couple have 1 boy = {BGG, GBG, GGB}

=  3 ÷ 8 = 0.375

Probability that couple have 2 boys = { BBG, BGB, GBB}

= 3 ÷ 8 = 0.375

Probability that couple have 3 boys = {GGG}

= 1 ÷ 8 = 0.125
