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>

Answer:

40,790 steps

Step-by-step explanation:

3674 rounds to 3700

3700*11 = 3700*10+3700*1 = 37000+3700 = 40,790

iren2701 [21]
Null: the mean amount of peanut butter in a jar is equal to 32 oz.
alternative: the mean amount of peanut butter in a Jar is less than 32oz.

type 1 error is is rejecting the null when it is actually true. this means that we would say that the mean amount of peanut butter is not equal to 32 when it actually is.

type 2 error is failing to reject the null when it is actually false. this means that we would say the mean amount of peanut butter is equal to 32 when in reality it is less.

Dr,Goode prescribes 0.2 grams of cold medicine for Donald. This medicine comes in tablets that are 0.5 grams or 0.05 grams. Shou

Using proportions, it is found that Donald should order 4 of the 0.05 gram tablets.

  • This question is solved by proportions, using a <em>rule of three</em>.
  • 4 tablets are needed, and they should combine for 0.2 grams. How many grams is there going to be on one tablet?

The <em>rule of three</em> is:

1 tablet - x grams

4 tablets - 0.2 grams

Applying cross multiplication:

4x = 0.2

x = \frac{0.2}{4}

x = 0.05

Donald should order 4 of the 0.05 gram tablets.
