Neil is a drummer who purchases his drumsticks online. When practicing with the newest pair, he notices they feel heavier than u

sual. When he weighs one of the sticks, he finds that it is 2.33 oz. The manufacturer's website states that the average weight of each stick is 1.75 oz with a standard deviation of 0.22 oz. Assume that the weight of the drumsticks is normally distributed. What is the probability of the stick's weight being 2.33 oz or greater

Answer:

The probability of the stick's weight being 2.33 oz or greater is 0.0041 or 0.41%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Weight of a given sample (x) = 2.33 oz

Mean weight (μ) = 1.75 oz

Standard deviation (σ) = 0.22 oz

The distribution is normal distribution.

So, first, we will find the z-score of the distribution using the formula:

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

Plug in the values and solve for 'z'. This gives,

z=\frac{2.33-1.75}{0.22}=2.64

So, the z-score of the distribution is 2.64.

Now, we need the probability P(x\geq 2.33 )=P(z\geq  2.64).

From the normal distribution table for z-score equal to 2.64, the value of the probability is 0.9959. This is the area to the left of the curve or less than z-score value.

But, we need area more than the z-score value. So, the area is:

P(z\geq  2.64)=1-0.9959=0.0041=0.41\%

Therefore, the probability of the stick's weight being 2.33 oz or greater is 0.0041 or 0.41%.

Find the slope C(-8,-7) and D (13,-1
DaniilM [7]

So you will use slope formula which is m = (y2 -- y1) / (x2 -- x1)

-1 minus -7=6

13 minus -8=21

Remember it changes to a positive Keep,Change,Change

So its 6/21

Or 1/4

You buy a storage case that holds 170 collectible die-cast cars. You have 137 die-cast cars. Write an inequality that describes
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

137 + x <= 170

Step-by-step explanation:

The following inequality will describe this scenario.

137 + x <= 170

the variable x in this scenario represents the total number of cars that you will purchase. This number is added to the number of toy cars that you already own which is 137. As long as this sum is less than or equal to 170 then your storage case will hold them.

How can 8 students share a pizza cut into 12 slices without cutting any of the slices?
Triss [41]
Hmmm...
We have to divide 12 by 8, since we need to see how 8 students will share 12 slices.

12/8=1 and 1/2

So, each student can have a slice and a half, but since we aren't allowed to cut the slices...

We can let each student have one slice, with 4 left over, so...

Every student can have one slice, and then half can have a second slice :)!

I'm not sure if that is what was meant by the question, but that was all I could think of.

I hope I helped! :)
