A food company sells salmon to various customers. The mean weight of the salmon is 37 lb with a standard deviation of 2 lbs. The

company ships them to restaurants in boxes of 9 ​salmon, to grocery stores in cartons of 49 ​salmon, and to discount outlet stores in pallets of 64 salmon. To forecast​ costs, the shipping department needs to estimate the standard deviation of the mean weight of the salmon in each type of shipment.

Answer:

The standard deviation for the mean weigth of Salmon is 2/3 lbs for restaurants, 2/7 lbs for grocery stores and 1/4 lbs for discount order stores.

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean sample of the sum of n random variables is

\overline{X} = \frac{X_1+X_2+...+X_n}{n}

If X_1, ..., X_n are indentically distributed and independent, like in the situation of the problem, then the variance of X_1 + .... + X_n will be the sum of the variances, in other words, it will be n times the variance of X_1 .

However if we multiply this mean by 1/n (in other words, divide by n), then we have to divide the variance by 1/n², thus \overkine{X} = \frac{V(X_1)}{n} and as a result, the standard deviation of \overline{X} is the standard deviation of X_1 divided by \sqrt{n} .

Since the standard deviation of the weigth of a Salmon is 2 lbs, then the standard deviations for the mean weigth will be:

  • Restaurants: We have boxes with 9 salmon each, so it will be \frac{2}{\sqrt{9}} = \frac{2}{3}
  • Grocery stores: Each carton has 49 salmon, thus the standard deviation is \frac{2}{\sqrt{49}} = \frac{2}{7}
  • Discount outlet stores: Each pallet has 64 salmon, as a result, the standard deviation is \frac{2}{\sqrt{64}} = \frac{1}{4}

We conclude that de standard deivation of the mean weigth of salmon of the types of shipment given is: 2/3 lbs for restaurants, 2/7 lbs for grocery stores and 1/4 lbs for discount outlet stores.

raketka [301]

We are given that:

The skateboard park is located at the point (-3,5),

the ice cream shop is located at the point (-3,6),

and the comic book store is located at (4,6).

We are also given that the four coordinates forms a rectangle.

Here we already have two matching x- coordinates as -3 and y coordinates as 6.

Now we must have two matching x and y coordinates too.

As shown in figure , if we have the last coordinate as (4,5), it will complete the rectangle.

So answer is option B) (4,5) is the last coordinate at which his best friend lives.

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

y = 1/2x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Slope, m = 1/2

(x1, y1) = (6, 8)

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 8 = 1/2(x - 6)

y - 8 = 1/2x - 3

y - 8 + 8 = 1/2x - 3 + 8

y = 1/2x + 5

Stamdard form of equation :

y = mx + c

Hence, equation is :

y = 1/2x + 5

There is no association between the chicken preferences and rice preferences. Option C

<h3>What is association?</h3>

There is an association between two variables when they both decrease or increase simultaneously. In many cases, the association between the variables can be shown using the correlation coefficient when the relationship is plotted on Cartesian coordinates.

If we look at the table, we can see that there is no association between the chicken preferences and rice preferences because because the proportion of chicken and rice eaters to all chicken eaters is lower than all rice eaters to all eaters; and because the proportion of chicken and rice eaters to all rice eaters is lower than all chicken eaters to all eaters.
