A filling machine puts an average of four ounces of coffee in jars, with a standard deviation of 0.25 ounces. forty jars filled

by this machine are selected at random. what is the probability that the mean amount per jar filled in the sampled jars is less than 3.9 ounces

Let's attack this problem using the z-score concept.  The sample std. dev. here is (0.25 oz)/sqrt(40), or 0.040.  Thus, the z score representing 3.9 oz. is
        3.9 - 4.0
z = -------------- = -2.5
          0.040 

In one way or another we must find the area under the std. normal curve that lies to the left of z = -2.5.  Use a table of z-scores or a calculator with built-in statistics functions.  According to my TI-83 Plus calculator, that area is

0.006.  One way of interpreting this that with so small a standard deviation, most volumes of coffee put into the jars are very close to the mean, 4 oz.

If line A contains Q(5,1) and is parallel to line MN with M(-2,4) and N(2,1), which ordered pair would be on the perpendicular t
vivado [14]
Your question does not say what were your options, therefore I will answer generically: in order to understand if a point (ordered pair) is contained in a line, you need to substitute the x-component of the pair in the equation of the line and see if the calculations give you the y-component of the pair.

Example:
Your line is <span> y = 4/3x + 1/3
Let's see if <span>(0, 0) and (2, 3) </span>belong to this line

y</span> = <span>4/3·0 + 1/3 = 1/3 </span>≠ 0
Therefore, the line does not contain (0, 0)

y = 4/3·2 + 1/3 = 9/3 = 3
Therefore, the line contains (2, 3)

It is known that the distance in metres through which a body falls freely varies directly as the square of the time taken. If a
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

125 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let distance = d and time is t

Using the variation;

d = k t^2

So let’s us get k

80 = k * 4*2

16k = 80

k = 80/16 = 5

So for 5 seconds, the distance would be;

d = 5 * 5^2

d = 125 meters

When y = 35,x = 2.5. If the value of y varies directly with x what is the value of y when the value of xis 3.25
leonid [27]

Answer:

The value of y would be 45.5

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, start with the base form of direct variation.

y = kx

Now we can use our original values to model the equation and find k.

35 = k(2.5)

14 = k

Now we can model the equation as:

y = 14x

Now to find y, when x = 3.25, simply put 3.25 into the equation.

y = 14(3.25)

y = 45.5
