As part of a promotion for a new type of cracker, free trial samples are offered to shoppers in a local supermarket. The probabi

lity that a shopper will buy a packet of crackers after tasting the free sample is 0.200. Different shoppers can be regarded as independent trials. If X is the number among the next 100 shoppers who buy a packet of crackers after tasting a free sample, then X has approximately an
N(20, 4) distribution.

Answer: N(20, 4) distribution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal approximation to Binomial :

The normal approximation is used for binomial distribution having parameters n and p as

\mu=np\\\\ \sigma=\sqrt{np(1-p)}

if x is the random variable then x has N(\mu, \sigma).

Given : As part of a promotion for a new type of cracker, free trial samples are offered to shoppers in a local supermarket.

The probability that a shopper will buy a packet of crackers after tasting the free sample : p=0.20.

Different shoppers can be regarded as independent trials.

if X is the number among the next 100 shoppers who buy a packet of crackers after tasting a free sample.

Then, Mean and standard deviation for x will be :

\mu=(100)(0.20)=20\\\\ \sigma=\sqrt{20(1-0.20)}=\sqrt{16}=4

i.e. X has approximately an  N(20, 4) distribution.

A positive integer is 47 more than 9 times another. Their product is 1860. Find the two integers.
svlad2 [7]
X = 47 + 9y
xy = 1860

y(47 + 9y) = 1860
47y + 9y² = 1860
9y² + 47y - 1860 = 0

> using a quadratic equation solver on a calculator but you can also use the quadratic equation = [-b+/- √(b²-4ac)]/(2a)
> only integer solution is x = 12

12y = 1860
y = 155

integers are 12 and 155

Ella collects 50 bottles to recycle. Of the bottles she collects, 19 are plastic and the rest are glass.
nekit [7.7K]
QUESTION A

The total number of bottles Ella collected is
50


The number of bottles that are plastic is

19

The percentage of bottles that are plastic is

=  \frac{number \: of \: plastic \: bottles}{total \: number \: of \: bottes}  \times 100\%

=  \frac{19}{50}  \times 100\%

= 19 \times 2\%
= 38\%

Therefore 38% of the bottles are plastic.



QUESTION B

The total number of bottles that are glass is
50 - 19 = 31

The total number of bottles Ella collected is
50

The percentage of bottles that is glass is
=  \frac{number \: of \: glass \: bottles}{total \: number \: of \: bottles}  \times 100\%

=  \frac{31}{50}  \times 100\%

= 31 \times 2\%
= 62\%

Therefore 62% of the bottles are glass
