Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 15 numbers on a list, and the smallest number is changed from 12.9 to 1.29.

a. Is it possible to determine by how much the mean changes? If so, by how much does it change?

Yes. The total would decrease by 11.61. so mean would decrease by 11.61/15 =0.774

b. Is it possible to determine the value of the mean after the change? If so, what is the value?

No. new men would be old mean - 0.774

c. Is it possible to determine by how much the median changes? If so, by how much does it changes?

Though the smallest number is changed the position does not change.

Hence median will not change.

d. Is it possible to determine by how much the standard deviation changes? If so, by how much does it change?

The original variance would be average of square of deviations of the old mean.

The weight, X, of cherry tomatoes selected at random from a very large bin at the local supermarket follows a Normal distributio

Vesna [10]

Answer: the probability that exactly 5 of the 8 cherry tomatoes weigh less than 4 oz is 0.05

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

X has normal distribution has mean µ = 3

standard deviation σ = 2

now

P( x< 4) = P( (x-µ)/σ /(3-4)/5)

= P( z < -0.5 )

= 0.3085 {from the z-table}

X has binomial distribution with n = 8 and p = 0.3085

so P(x=5)

P(x=5) = 8C₅(0.3085)⁵ (1 - 0.3085)⁸⁻⁵

= 0.0517 ≈ 0.05

Therefore the probability that exactly 5 of the 8 cherry tomatoes weigh less than 4 oz is 0.05

When karen serves jury duty, she will receive $15 each day for the first three days she serve. After three days, she will receiv

liubo4ka [24]

Karen received $ 213 for 10 days of serving

Solution:

Given that When karen serves jury duty, she will receive $15 each day for the first three days she serve

To find: money received by karen if she served for 10 days

First three days = $ 15 each day

Therefore,

first day = $ 15

second day = $ 15

third day = $ 15

After three days, she will receive $24 each day she serves

4th , 5th, 6th, 7th , 8th , 9th, 10th day = $ 24 each day

If she serves for 10 days,

money received = 15 + 15 + 15 + 24 + 24 + 24 + 24 + 24 + 24 + 24

money received = 3(15) + 7(24)

money received = 45 + 168 = 213

Thus karen received $ 213 for 10 days of serving

A new road was added near Riana's neighborhood. The road is 5 miles long, and the city plans 1/10 to place a streetlight every m

elena55 [62]

Answer:

= 49

Answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:-

Length of the road = 5 miles

Distance between every two streetlights = 1/10 miles

Total number of streetlights placed on the new road = 5 ÷ 1/10

= 5*10

= 50 streetlights

As there is already a streetlight at the beginning of the new road, so the number streetlights will be = 50 - 1
