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.

Umnica [9.8K]

Answer: the percent of study group students from outside the state is 13%

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of students in the young woman's study group that are from the town where the young woman's school is located is 7%

The total number of students in the young woman's study group that are from in-state (but not from the school's town) is 80%.

Since the rest are from outside the state, the percent of study group students from outside the state would be

100 - (80 + 7) = 100 - 87 = 13%

you have a part time job. you work 3 hours on friday and 6 hours on saturday. you also receive an allowance of $20 per a week. y
klemol [59]
$92/week is the amount of money you gained from work combined with your $20/week allowance money. 

92 - 20 = 72 (total money made per week subtract allowance money leaves money made from work)
Thus, you make $72/week at your part time job.

You work a total of 9 hours. (3hrs on Fri & 6hrs on Sat added together)
72/9 = 8 (total amount of money made divided by the 9 hrs you worked for - gives amount of money you make per hour)
Thus, you make $8/hr at your part time job.
