The average diameter of sand dollars on a certain island is 4.00 centimeters with a standard deviation of 0.60 centimeters. If 1

6 sand dollars are chosen at random for a collection, find the probability that the average diameter of those sand dollars is more than 3.85 centimeters. Assume that the variable is normally distributed.

Answer:

0.8413 is the required probability.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 4.00 centimeters

Standard Deviation, σ = 0.60 centimeters

Sample size, n = 16

We are given that the distribution of average diameter is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

Standard error due to sampling =

=\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} = \dfrac{0.60}{\sqrt{16}} = 0.15

P(diameter of sample is more than 3.85 centimeter)

P(x > 3.85)

P( x > 3.85) = P( z > \displaystyle\frac{3.85 - 4}{0.15}) = P(z > -1)

= 1 - P(z \leq -1)

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,  

P(x > 3.85) = 1 -0.1587 = 0.8413

0.8413 is the probability that the  the average diameter of sample of 16 sand dollars is more than 3.85 centimeters.

A chemistry teacher needs to mix a 20% salt solution with an 80% salt solution to make 20 qt of a 40% salt solution. How many qu
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

  • 6 2/3 qt 80%
  • 13 1/3 qt 20%

Step-by-step explanation:

It is often convenient to solve a mixture problem by letting a variable represent the quantity of the higher-concentration contributor to the mix.

__

We can let x represent the number of quarts of 80% solution needed. Then (20-x) is the number of quarts of 20% solution needed. The amount of salt in the final mix is ...

  0.80x +0.20(20-x) = 0.40(20)

  0.60x = 0.20(20) . . . . . . . . subtract 0.20(20) and simplify

  x = 20/3 = 6 2/3 . . . . . . . . . divide by 0.60; quarts of 80% solution

  (20 -x) = 13 1/3 . . . . . . . . . . amount of 20% solution needed

The teacher should mix 6 2/3 quarts of 80% solution with 13 1/3 quarts of 20% solution.

The leopard population in an African wildlife area is currently 17. Due to a new conservation effort, conservationists hope the
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

a{_n} = 17 + (n - 1)4 for n = 1, 2, . . . , 20.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an arithmetic sequence, because the population is said to increase by 4 animals yearly. The formula for the nth term in an arithmetic sequence is given by:

a{_n} = a{_1} + (n - 1)d where a_n is the nth term, [/tex]a_1[/tex] is the first term, n = 1, 2, . . . and d is the common difference.

Since they are currently 17, this implies that the first number in the population sequence will be 17. In order words, the first term is 17.

Since they increase by 4 yearly, then the common difference is 4.

Since it's for 20years, the n = 1, 2, . . ., 20. The explicit formula is therefore:

a{_n} = 17 + (n - 1)4 for n = 1, 2, . . . , 20.
