Answer:

a. -1.60377

b. 0.25451

c. 0.344

d. Option b) 78th

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of pieces in a regular bag of Skittles is approximately normally distributed with a mean of 38.4 and a standard deviation of 2.12.

a)What is the z-score value of a randomly selected bag of Skittles that has 35 Skittles? a) 1.62 b) -1.62 c) 3.40 d) -3.40 e)1.303.

The formula for calculating a z-score is is z = (x-μ)/σ,

where x is the raw score

μ is the population mean

σ is the population standard deviation.

z = 35 - 38.4/2.12

= -1.60377

Option b) -1.62 is correct

b) What is the probability that a randomly selected bag of Skittles has at least 37 Skittles? a) .152 b) .247 c) .253 d).747e).7534. .

z = (x-μ)/σ

Mean of 38.4 and a standard deviation of 2.12.

z = (37 - 38.4)/2.12

= -0.66038

P-value from Z-Table:

P(x<37) = 0.25451

The probability that a randomly selected bag of Skittles has at least 37 Skittles is 0.25451

Option c) .253 is.correct

c) What is the probability that a randomly selected bag of Skittles has between 39 and 42 Skittles? a) .112 b) .232 c) .344 d).457 e).6125.

z = (x-μ)/σ

Mean of 38.4 and a standard deviation of 2.12.

For 39 Skittles

z = (39 - 38.4)/2.12

= 0.28302

Probability value from Z-Table:

P(x = 39) = 0.61142

For 42 Skittles

z = (42 - 38.4)/2.12

= 1.69811

Probability value from Z-Table:

P(x = 42) = 0.95526

The probability that a randomly selected bag of Skittles has between 39 and 42 Skittles is:

P(x = 42) - P(x = 39

0.95526 - 0.61142

0.34384

= 0.344

Option c is.correct

d) What is the percentile rank of a randomly selected bag of Skittles that has 40 Skittles in it? a)82nd b) 78th c) 75th d)25th e)22nd

z = (x-μ)/σ

Mean of 38.4 and a standard deviation of 2.12.

z = (40 - 38.4)/2.12

= 0.75472

P-value from Z-Table:

P(x = 40) = 0.77479

Converting to percentage = 0.77479× 100

= 77. 479%

≈ 77.5

Percentile rank = 78th

Find an equation of variation in which y varies inversely as x and y=5 and x=21. Then find the value of y when x=10.
finlep [7]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that y varies inversely as x then the equation relating them is

y = \frac{k}{x} ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition y = 5 , x = 21

k = yx = 5 × 21 = 105

y = \frac{105}{x} ← equation of variation

When x = 10, then

y = \frac{105}{10} = 10.5

DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

$432.18

Step-by-step explanation:

Time and a half = 50% more pay rate / 1.5*6.86 = $10.29 per hour

Double time = 2*6.86 = $13.72 per hour

Rest of the time => At regular rate

Total Amount = 10(10.29) + 4(13.72) + (54 - 10 - 4)(6.86)

                       = 10(10.29) + 4(13.72) + (40)(6.86)

                       = $ 432.18
