The weight of a package of mints is believed to be normally distributed with mean 21.37 grams and standard deviation 0.4, i.e. X

\sim N(21.37,0.4). What is the chance that a sample of 4 packages of mints has an average weight, \overline X, between 21 and 22 grams

Answer:

P(21

And using a calculator, excel or the normal standard table we have that:

P(-1.85

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the weigths of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(21.37,0.4)  

Where \mu=21.37 and \sigma=0.4

Since the distribution for X is normal then we know that the distribution for the sample mean \bar X is given by:

\bar X \sim N(\mu, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})

We can find the probability required with the following z score formula:

z = \frac{\bar X -\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}


And replacing we got:

P(21

And using a calculator, excel or the normal standard table we have that:

P(-1.85

Find x and round to nearest tenth
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

x=13.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the formula:

Sin theta=opposite/hypotenuse

Where theta=57 degrees

opposite =10.8

hypotenuse =x

Sin57=10.8/x

Xsin57=10.8

x=10.8/sin57

x=10.8/0.8

x=13.5

Given: 3x+7+2(4x+1) = 3(x-1) -4 prove: x=-2
denis23 [38]

Answer:

x = -2, proven below.

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 7 + 2(4x+1) = 3(x-1) - 4

3x + 7 + 8x + 2 = 3x - 3 - 4

9 + 11x = 3x - 7

16 + 11x = 3x

16 = - 8x

-2 = x
