The amount of coffee that a filling machine puts into an 8 dash ounce 8-ounce jar is normally distributed with a mean of 8.2 oun

ces 8.2 ounces and a standard deviation of 0.18 ounce.0.18 ounce. What is the probability that the sampling error made in estimating the mean amount of coffee for all 8 dash ounce 8-ounce jars by the mean of a random sample of 100​ jars, will be at most 0.02​ ounce

Answer:

73.3% probability that the sampling error made in estimating the mean amount of coffee for all 8 dash ounce 8-ounce jars by the mean of a random sample of 100​ jars, will be at most 0.02​ ounce

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theore.

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using 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 = 8.2, \sigma = 0.18, n = 100, s = \frac{0.18}{\sqrt{100}} = 0.018

What is the probability that the sampling error made in estimating the mean amount of coffee for all 8 dash ounce 8-ounce jars by the mean of a random sample of 100​ jars, will be at most 0.02​ ounce

That is, probability of the sample mean between 8.2-0.02 = 8.18 and 8.2 + 0.02 = 8.22, which is the pvalue of Z when X = 8.22 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 8.18.

X = 8.22

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

By the Central Limit Theorem

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

Z = \frac{8.22 - 8.2}{0.018}

Z = 1.11

Z = 1.11 has a pvalue of 0.8665.

X = 8.18

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

Z = \frac{8.18 - 8.2}{0.018}

Z = -1.11

Z = -1.11 has a pvalue of 0.1335.

0.8665 - 0.1335 = 0.7330

73.3% probability that the sampling error made in estimating the mean amount of coffee for all 8 dash ounce 8-ounce jars by the mean of a random sample of 100​ jars, will be at most 0.02​ ounce

Factor Completely: x^2-13x-48
salantis [7]

Answer:

Therefore,the required factors are ( x - 16 ) and ( x + 3 )is

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

x^{2} -13x-48

To Factorize:

Solution:

First remove the factor of -48 such that you multiply the two number, the Product should be -48 and the SUM should be -13.

-48 = -16 × 3

Here, -16 and 3 are the two  required numbers

now the given expression we will split the middle term  and Factorize the given equation.

x^{2} -13x-48 =x^{2} -16x+3x-48\\\\\\\textrm{removing x common and 3 common we get}\\x^{2} -13x-48=x(x-16)+3(x-16)\\\\x^{2} -13x-48=(x-16)(x-3)

Therefore,the required factors are ( x - 16 ) and ( x + 3 )

Find the price of a $75.00 mea with a 18% tip.
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

$88.50

Step-by-step explanation:

you start by turning the decimal to a fraction by moving the decimal dot 2 places to the left so now you have 0.18

then multiply 0.18 * 75 to get 13.5

then add 15.5 + 75 to get the total meal price which is 88.5
