Answer:

Hence safely 9 watermelons can be placed in a single container.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the  weight (in pounds) of ``medium-size'' watermelons is normally distributed with mean 15 and variance 4.

X = weight in pounds of medium size watermelons is N(15, 2)

Let the water melons stored be n

Then the sample of n has a mean of (15) and std error = \frac{2}{\sqrt{n} }

Capacity = 140

Hence we can say either 8 or 9

If n=9, we have weight = 15*9+1.96*2/3 = 136.40

Hence safely 9 watermelons can be placed in a single container.

If the value of a real number x satisfies -2x + 5= -1, then what is the value of 5x
Nitella [24]

-2x + 5 = -1

subtract 5 from both sides: -2x = -6

divide each side by -2: x = 3

plug in 3: 5(3)

multiply: 15

the value of 5x is 15.
