Answer:

Company B is more likely to produce a box of 260 roofing nails.

Step-by-step explanation:

Company A :

Mean = 272 nails

Standard deviation = 5.4 nails

Roofing nails expected to be produced = 260

⇒ 260 = 272 + z × 5.4

⇒ z = -2.222

Hence, Company A has a chance of 1.32% of producing exactly or fewer than 260 boxes of roofing nails.

Company B :

Mean = 249 nails

Standard deviation = 3.8 nails

Roofing nails expected to be produced = 260

⇒ 260 = 249 + z × 4.8

⇒ z = 2.895

Hence, Company B has a chance of 0.19% of producing exactly or more than 260 boxes of roofing nails.

Therefore, Company B is more likely to produce a box of 260 roofing nails.

A box contains five slips of paper, marked $1, $1, $10, $25, and $25. The winner of a contest selects two slips of paper at rand
Arisa [49]

Answer:

w = $1 or $10 or $25

Probability distribution of w = ($1,$1  $1,$1  $1,$10  $1,$25  $1,$25  $1,$1  $1,$1  $1,$10  $1,$25  $1,$25  $10,$1  $10,$1  $10,$10  $10,$25  $10,$25  $25,$1  $25,$1  $25,$10  $25,$25  $25,$25  $25,$1  $25,$1  $25,$10  $25,$25  $25,$25)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the winner gets the larger amount of the two slips picked, random variable 'w' which is the amount awarded could be $1 or $10 or $25.

The probability distribution of 'w' is the values that the statistic takes on. Which could be: $1,$1  $1,$1  $1,$10  $1,$25  $1,$25  $1,$1  $1,$1  $1,$10  $1,$25  $1,$25  $10,$1  $10,$1  $10,$10  $10,$25  $10,$25  $25,$1  $25,$1  $25,$10  $25,$25  $25,$25  $25,$1  $25,$1  $25,$10  $25,$25  $25,$25

A quadratic function f(x)=ax2 passes through (0,0) and (5,5). write an equation for this function
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

y = (1/5)x² or  y = x²/5

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the function f(x) = ax² and are given that the point (5,5) is on the parabola.  We need to find 'a'.   f(x) can be replaced with 'y', so we can rewrite the equation as...

y = ax²    

We know that when x = 5, y = 5, so we have

5 = a(5²)      now simplify...

5 = 25a

5/25 = a

1/5 = a, so our equation becomes

(1/5)x² or  x²/5  (the expressions are equal)
