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>

meriva

An equation that correctly represent this relationship if x represents the number of pounds of fertilizer and y the number of ounces of weed killer is  0.5x + 3.5y = 70

<u>Solution:</u>

Given that, Bill spent 70 on fertilizer and weed killer for his lawn

Each pound of fertilizer cost 50 cents and each once of weed killer cost 3.50

We have to write an equation, if x represents the number of pounds of fertilizer and y the number of ounces of weed killer.

Now,<em> total amount = amount for fertilizers + amount for weed killers.</em>

Total amount = number of pounds of fertilizers x cost per pound + number of ounces of weed killer x cost per ounce.

\begin{array}{l}{\rightarrow 70=x \times 0.50+y \times 3.50} \\\\ {\rightarrow 0.5 x+3.5 y=70}\end{array}

Hence, the equation is 0.5x + 3.5y = 70
