Answer:

Choice C: approximately 121 green beans will be 13 centimeters or shorter.

Step-by-step explanation:

What's the probability that a green bean from this sale is shorter than 13 centimeters?

Let the length of a green bean be X centimeters.

X follows a normal distribution with

  • mean \mu = 11.2 and
  • standard deviation \sigma = 2.1.

In other words,

X\sim \text{N}(11.2, 2.1^{2}),

and the probability in question is X \le 13.

Z-score table approach:

Find the z-score of this measurement:

\displaystyle z= \frac{x-\mu}{\sigma} = \frac{13-11.2}{2.1} = 0.857143. Closest to 0.86.

Look up the z-score in a table. Keep in mind that entries on a typical z-score table gives the probability of the left tail, which is the chance that Z will be less than or equal to the z-score in question. (In case the question is asking for the probability that Z is greater than the z-score, subtract the value from table from 1.)

P(X\le 13) = P(Z \le 0.857143) \approx 0.8051.

"Technology" Approach

Depending on the manufacturer, the steps generally include:

  • Locate the cumulative probability function (cdf) for normal distributions.
  • Enter the lower and upper bound. The lower bound shall be a very negative number such as -10^{9}. For the upper bound, enter 13
  • Enter the mean and standard deviation (or variance if required).
  • Evaluate.

For example, on a Texas Instruments TI-84, evaluating \text{normalcdf})(-1\text{E}99,\;13,\;11.2,\;2.1 ) gives 0.804317.

As a result,

P(X\le 13) = 0.804317.

Number of green beans that are shorter than 13 centimeters:

Assume that the length of green beans for sale are independent of each other. The probability that each green bean is shorter than 13 centimeters is constant. As a result, the number of green beans out of 150 that are shorter than 13 centimeters follow a binomial distribution.

  • Number of trials n: 150.
  • Probability of success p: 0.804317.

Let Y be the number of green beans out of this 150 that are shorter than 13 centimeters. Y\sim\text{B}(150,0.804317).

The expected value of a binomial random variable is the product of the number of trials and the probability of success on each trial. In other words,

E(Y) = n\cdot p = 150 \times 0.804317 = 120.648\approx 121

The expected number of green beans out of this 150 that are shorter than 13 centimeters will thus be approximately 121.

Helen [10]
I'll try to explain in the simplest way possible:

Total cost for a single widget: $32 + $44 = $76 for one widget.

So, since we know the cost of one widget is $76, then the price of 350 widgets would be = $76 x 350 = $26,600.

A local store buys used video games. For each game bought, they would pay $18 less than the original price paid for the game. Wh
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

total amount =  n (d-18)

total amount = dn - 18n

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

pay  = $18 less than the original price

originally cost =  d dollars

sell  = n games

solution

we take original price paid for the game = d

and they will pay $18 less than the original price

so that can we say

d -18

and

when sold n games than the cost of n used games will be here

cost = n (d-18)

so it can express as

total amount =  n (d-18)

total amount = dn - 18n

A rope is 250 centimeters long. You need the rope to be 1 1/2 meters long. How many centimeters should you cut off?
Drupady [299]
If you would like to know how many centimeters should you cut off, you can calculate this using the following steps:

1 1/2 meters = 3/2 meters = 1.5 meters = 150 centimeters

250 centimeters - 1 1/2 meters = 250 centimeters - 150 centimeters = 100 centimeters = 1 meter

The correct result would be 100 centimeters.
