Answer:

The weight of a box of candies is 18 oz

Option 2 is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The weights of boxes of candies produced in a factory are normally distributed with a mean weight of 16 oz and a standard deviation of 1 oz.

Formula: z=\dfrac{x-m}{\sigma}

Mean: m = 16 oz

z-score: z = 2

Standard Deviation: \sigma = 1 oz

Substitute the value into formula.

2=\dfrac{x-16}{1}

2=x-16

x=18

Hence, The weight of a box of candies is 18 oz

Let the required weight be X, then
z = (X - mean)/standard deviation
2 = (X - 16)/1
X - 16 = 2
X = 2 + 16
X = 18 oz.

Answer:

a < - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The speed of the international space station is 27,576 kilometres per hour.
Dmitriy789 [7]
(27576km/hr)(24hr/day)(orbits/42600km)=orbits/day=15.53

So the station makes 15 FULL orbits per day

(27576km/h)(1000m/km)(h/3600s)=7660m/s
