Answer:

2.28% probability that it will weigh less than 900 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

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.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 910, \sigma = 5

What is the probability that it will weigh less than 900 grams?

This probability is the pvalue of Z when X = 900. So

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

Z = \frac{900 - 910}{5}

Z = -2

Z = -2 has a pvalue of 0.0228.

2.28% probability that it will weigh less than 900 grams

Tcecarenko [31]
If quarterly shrinkage (every 3 months) is 2.5%, then multiplying by $875,495 gives a value of 21887.38, or an average monthly shrinkage of 21887.38 / 3 = $7,295.79.For an employee to monitor the CCTV, it would cost ($7.5/h)(11 h/d)(30 d/m) = $2,475/month. Therefore, it is much cheaper (around 2/3 cheaper) to have an employee monitor CCTV rather than to allow the high shrinkage rate.

Nostrana [21]

Answer:

I don't know if you want the beginning to so-

Variable - A unknown value represented by a set letter.

4x+6 = 26

(Incase: Subtract 6 from 6, and 6 from 26. 6 cancels out, and 26-6 is 20. Divide both sides by 4. And x=5)

And the answer to the question is: -27 is the smallest, and then the 3 consecutive numbers are -27, -28, and -29.
