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.

What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line<br> v= -1/3x - 6
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

the slope of a perpendicular line is the negative reciprocal of the original slope

a reciprocal is the inverse of a number, to find the reciprocal, just flip the numerator and denominator

in this cause, the slope is -1/3

the negative of it is 1/3 and the reciprocal is 3

therefore the slope of the perpendicular line is 3

There are 276 students.
Lynna [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of males is

  • 276 - 158 = 118

Number of males not enrolled

  • 118 - 82 = 36

Number of females not enrolled

  • 158 - 102 = 56

(a)

The table based on data is

<u>                 Enrolled        Not enrolled      Total  </u>

<u>Male            82                  36                     118    </u>

<u>Female        102                56                     158   </u>

Total            184                 92                     276

(b)

Percentage of students were males that went to magic college

  • enrolled male / total students =           (use table above)
  • 82/276*100% = 29.71% (rounded)

(c)

Percentage of females went to magic college

  • enrolled female / total female =           (use table above)
  • 102/158*100% = 64.56% (rounded)
