A food processor packages orange juice in small jars. The weights of the filled jars are approximately normally distributed with

a mean of 10.5 ounces and a standard deviation of 0.3 ounce. Find the proportion of all jars packaged by this process that have weights that fall above 10.983 ounces.

Answer:

P(X>10.983)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{10.983-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{10.983-10.5}{0.3})=P(z>1.61)

And we can find this probability using the complement rule and with excel or the normal standard table:

P(z>1.61)=1-P(z

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 weights of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(10.5,0.3)  

Where \mu=10.5 and \sigma=0.3

We are interested on this probability

P(X>10.983)

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

P(X>10.983)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{10.983-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{10.983-10.5}{0.3})=P(z>1.61)

And we can find this probability using the complement rule and with excel or the normal standard table:

P(z>1.61)=1-P(z

Find the distance between the two points in simplest radical form.<br> (-1,9) and (4, -3)
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

GIVEN BY POINTS :-

( -1, 9) , ( 4 , -3)

Here ,

\bullet  \: \:  x _{1} = - 1 \\ \bullet \: \:  x _{2} = 4 \\ \bullet \: \:   y _{1} = 9 \\ \bullet \: \:    y _{2} =  - 3 \\

Using Distance formula :

=  >  \sf d = \sqrt{( {x _{2} - x _{1}) }^{2} + {( {y _{2} - y _{1}) }^{2} } } \\ \\  =  > \sf  d = \sqrt{ ({ 4  + 1)}^{2} + { ( - 3 - 9)}^{2} } \\  \\ =  >  \sf d = \sqrt{ {5}^{2} + {( - 12)}^{2} }  \\ \\  =  > \sf d = \sqrt{25 + 144}  \\ \\  =  > \sf d = \sqrt{169}  \\ \\ =  > \boxed{ \sf{  d = 13\:units }}\\

0.9 of Karen's Science score is equal to 0.75 of her Math score and 0.8 of her Chemistry score. Given that Karen scored 96 marks
DochEvi [55]

You have to formulate equations for this problem.

Let S = Science score

      M = Math score

       C = Chemistry score

To illustrate the given:

0.9S = 0.75M

0.9S = 0.8C

You are given that Karen’s Math score is 96 marks. You have to substitute the Math score to the first equation.

0.9S = 0.75(96)

0.9S = 72

S = 80

Therefore, Karen’s Science score is 80. Now, you have to substitute the Science score to the second equation.

0.9(80) = 0.8C

0.8C = 72

C = 90

So, Karen’s Chemistry score is 90.

Therefore, the total score of the 3 subjects is 266 (96 + 80 + 90).
