A manufacturing company measures the weight of boxes before shipping them to the customers. If the box weights have a population

mean and standard deviation of 90 lb and 24 lb, respectively, then based on a sample size of 36 boxes, what is the probability that the average weight of the boxes will exceed 94 lb?

Answer:

<u>The probability that the average weight of the boxes will exceed 94 pounds  is 43.25%</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information provided to answer the question correctly:

Mean of the population of box weights = 90 pounds

Standard deviation of the population of box weights = 24 pounds

Sample size = 36 boxes

2. What is the probability that the average weight of the boxes will exceed 94 lb?

For answering this question, we will use the z-scores table.

For using the correct z-score, we should use the correct standard deviation. In this case, we have that:

94 - 90 = 4 pounds above the mean.

4 pounds are 4/24 of the standard deviation,

therefore, simplifying:

4/24 = 1/6 = 0.1666......and we'll round to 0.17

z-score is 0.17 because 4 pounds is 1/6 of the standard deviation (24).

The probability of a z-score is 0.5675, but in this case we're asked by a weight over 94 pounds, not under 94 pounds, thus:

1 - 0.5675 = 0.4325

<u>The probability that the average weight of the boxes will exceed 94 pounds  is 43.25%</u>

Solve 5x(x-6)(4x+9)=0
xxTIMURxx [149]
Greetings and Happy Holidays!

Solve 
for x.
5x(x-6)(4x+9)=0<span>

Distribute the parenthesis:
</span>5x(x-6)(4x+9)=0

(5x^2-30x)(4x+9)=0

(20x^3-120x^2)+(45x^2-270x)=0

Combine like terms:
20x^3-75x^2-270x=0

Factor out GCF (5x):
5x(4x^2-15x-54)=0

Factor the Complex Trinomial:
5x(4x^2+9x-24x-54)=0

5x(x(4x+9)-6(4x-9))=0

5x((4x+9)(x-6))=0

Set Factors to Equal 0:
5x=0

x=0

or

4x+9=0

4x=-9

x=\frac{-9}{4}

or

x-6=0

x=6

The Answers Are:
\boxed{x=0} \\ \boxed{x= \frac{-9}{4}} \\ \boxed{x=6}

I hope this helped!

Brooke has to set up 70chairs in equal rows for the class talent show.But,there is not room for more than 20 rows. What are the
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

R = rows

C = columns

The chairs will be arranged in a way such that R * C \geq 70

We know that R \leq 20

70 / 20 = 3.5; however, you can't have half of a chair.

So find all the factors of 70 which don't exceed 20.

1, 70

2, 35

<h2>5, 14</h2><h2>7, 10</h2><h2></h2><h2>There are four ways that Brooke can set up the chairs:</h2><h2>5 rows of 14</h2><h2>7 rows of 10</h2><h2>10 rows of 7</h2><h2>14 rows of 5</h2>
