Answer:

Width = 132 feet, Length = 291 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

perimeter (P) = 846

let width(W) = x

length(L) = 159 feet more than width = 159 + W= 159 + x

P of a rectangle = 2*(L + W)

846 = 2*((159 + x) + x)

divide both side by 2

423 = (159 + x) + x

423 = 159 + 2x

rearranging

2x + 159 = 423

2x = 423 -159

2x = 264

divide both sides by 2

x = 132 feet

recall W = x and L = 159 + x

W = 132 feet

L = 159 + 132 = 291 feet

<h3>How to find an explicit solution of an algebraic equation</h3>

In this problem we have an equation formed by three variables (r, x, y) and a constant and we are asked to clear x as a function of r and y. Now we present the entire procedure:

(r · x + 6 · x) / y = 4 Given

(r · x + 6 · x) = 4 · y Defintion of division / Associative property / Compatibility with multiplication / Existence of multiplicative inverse / Modulative property

x · (r + 6) = 4 · y Distributive property

x = (4 · y) / (r + 6) Compatibility with multiplication / Associative property / Existence of multiplicative inverse / Modulative property / Definition of division / Result

The solution for x is equal to x = (4 · y) / (r + 6).

Canine Crunchies Inc. (CCI) sells bags of dog food to warehouse clubs. CCI uses an automatic filling process to fill the bags. W

KatRina [158]

Answer:

a) 0.9999 = 99.99% probability that a filled bag will weigh less than 49.5 kilograms

b) 0.0018 = 0.18% probability that a randomly sampled filled bag will weight between 48.5 and 51 kilograms.

c) 46.24 kilograms

d) The standard deviation would have to be of 3.41 kilograms.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score 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 p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Mean of 45 kilograms and a standard deviation of 1.2 kilograms.

This means that $\mu = 45, \sigma = 1.2$

a. What is the probability that a filled bag will weigh less than 49.5 kilograms?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 49.5. So

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

$Z = \frac{49.5 - 45}{1.2}$

$Z = 3.75$

$Z = 3.75$ has a pvalue of 0.9999

0.9999 = 99.99% probability that a filled bag will weigh less than 49.5 kilograms

b. What is the probability that a randomly sampled filled bag will weight between 48.5 and 51 kilograms?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 51 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 48.5.

X = 51

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

$Z = \frac{51 - 45}{1.2}$

$Z = 5$

$Z = 5$ has a pvalue of 1

X = 48.5

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

$Z = \frac{48.5 - 45}{1.2}$

$Z = 2.92$

$Z = 2.92$ has a pvalue of 0.9982

1 - 0.9982 = 0.0018

0.0018 = 0.18% probability that a randomly sampled filled bag will weight between 48.5 and 51 kilograms.

c. What is the minimum weight a bag of dog food could be and remain in the top 15% of all bags filled?

This is the 100 - 15 = 85th percentile, which is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.85. So X when Z = 1.037

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

$1.037 = \frac{X - 45}{1.2}$

$X - 45 = 1.037*1.2$

$X = 46.24$

46.24 kilograms.

d. CCI is unable to adjust the mean of the filling process. However, it is able to adjust the standard deviation of the filling process. What would the standard deviation need to be so that no more than 2% of all filled bags weigh more than 52 kilograms?

X = 52 would have to be the 100 - 2 = 98th percentile, which is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.98, so X when Z = 2.054. We would need to find the value of $\sigma$ for this.

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

$2.054 = \frac{52 - 45}{\sigma}$
