When a truckload of apples arrives at a packing plant, a random sample of 150 is selected and examined for bruises, discoloratio

n, and other defects.
The whole truckload will be rejected if more than 5% of the sample is unsatisfactory.
Suppose that in fact 8% of the apples on the truck do not meet the desired standard.

What's the probability that the shipment will be accepted anyway?
a. 0.0222
b. 0.9778
c. 0.088
d. 0.912

Answer:

c. 0.088

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p(s) be the proportion of apples defected in the sample. The probability that p(s)<0.05 can be calculated by calculating z statistic of 0.05:

\frac{p(s)-p}{\sqrt{\frac{p*(1-p)}{N} } } where

  • p(s) = 0.05
  • p is the proportion of the apples in fact defected (0.08)
  • N is the sample size (150)   Then,

z(0.05)=\frac{0.05-0.08}{\sqrt{\frac{0.08*0.92)}{150} } }=-1.354

And P(z<-1.354)≈0.0879

Therefore the probability that  a random sample of 150 among 8% defected apples can be accepted is 0.088.

A fish swims at a speed of 12 miles per hour. A boy swims at a speed of 4.4 feet per second. 3 ft = 1 yd 5280 ft = 1 mi How much
just olya [345]
You'll need to convert both speeds into yards per minute.

12 mph = 12 mph     1760 yd    60 min
                ---------- * ------------ * ----------
                  1 mile       1 hr

Note that "miles" cancels.  So does "hours."  Finish this work.

Then convert   4.4 ft/sec into yards per minute.

Then, finally, compare your two rates via subtraction of the smaller from the larger.

What is (6x+4) - (4x+2)
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Simplifying

6x + 4 = 4x + 2

2. Reorder the terms

4 + 6x = 4x + 2 to 4 + 6x = 2 + 4x

3. Solving

4 + 6x = 2 + 4x

4. Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Then add '-4x' to each side of the equation.

4 + 6x + -4x = 2 + 4x + -4x

5. Combine like terms: 6x + -4x = 2x

4 + 2x = 2 + 4x + -4x

6. Combine like terms: 4x + -4x = 0

4 + 2x = 2 + 0

4 + 2x = 2

7. Add '-4' to each side of the equation.

4 + -4 + 2x = 2 + -4

8. Combine like terms: 4 + -4 = 0

0 + 2x = 2 + -4

2x = 2 + -4

9. Combine like terms: 2 + -4 = -2

2x = -2

10. Divide each side by '2'.

x = -1

11. Simplifying

x = -1

How many unit multipliers are<br> required to change cubic yards<br> to cubic feet?
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

1 Cubic yard is equal to 27 cubic feet. To convert cubic yards to cubic feet, multiply the cubic yard value by 27. For example, to convert 2 cubic yards to cubic feet, multiply 2 by 27, that makes 54 cu ft is 2 cu yd.
