Answer:

40.13% probability that 9 randomly selected packages will have an average weight in excess of 16.025 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we have to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central limit theorem:

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a random normally distributed variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 16, \sigma = 0.3, n = 9, s = \frac{0.3}{\sqrt{9}} = 0.1

What is the probability that 9 randomly selected packages will have an average weight in excess of 16.025 ounces

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 16.025. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

By the Central Limit Theorem

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

Z = \frac{16.025 - 16}{0.1}

Z = 0.25

Z = 0.25 has a pvalue of 0.5987

1 - 0.5987 = 0.4013

40.13% probability that 9 randomly selected packages will have an average weight in excess of 16.025 ounces

The hundreds digit and the ones digit of a three digit number are the same. The sum of its tree digits are 16. If the tens digit
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]
<h2>727</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

       Let us denote the three digit number by abc, where a is the hundreds digit, b is the tens digit and c is the ones digit.

       Hundreds digit = a = Ones digit = c

       Sum of digits = a+b+c=16

       So, 2c+b=16

       On exchanging tens and ones digit, value increases by 45. So acb is 45 greater than abc.

       acb-abc=45

       100a+10c+b-100a-10b-c=45\\9c-9b=45\\c-b=5

       2c+b=16,c-b=5\\3c=21\\c=7=a\\b=2

∴ Required number is 727
