A company sells cookies in 250-gram packs. When a particular batch of 1,000 packs was weighed, the mean weight per pack was 255

grams and the standard deviation was 2.5 grams. Assuming the data is normally distributed, we can conclude that % of the packs weighed less than 250 grams.

Let X be a random variable representing the weight of a pack of cookies.
P(X < 250) = P(z < (250 - 255)/2.5) = P(z < -5/2.5) = P(z < -2) = 1 - P(z < 2) = 1 - 0.97725 = 0.02275 = 2.3%

Therefore, we conclude that about 2.3% of the packs weighed less than 250 grams.

The minimum value of f(x) = x3 – 3x2 – 9x + 2 on the interval [–4, 0] is
garri49 [273]

Answer:

-74

Step-by-step explanation:

Graph the function. See attached picture. Between the interval where -4 > x < 0, the graph rises up to a peak and descends back down when x = 0. This means the minimum value will be where x = -4.

Substitute x = -4 into the equation.

f(-4) = (-4)^3 -3(-4)^2 - 9(-4) + 2

f(-4) = -64 -3(16) +36 + 2

f(-4) = -64 - 48 + 36 + 2

f(-4) = -74

Find the variance of this probability distribution. Round to two decimal places.​
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

Variance = 4.68

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the variance is:

\sigma^{2} =\frac{\Sigma(X- \mu)^{2}}{N} \\or \\ \sigma^{2} =\frac{\Sigma(X)^{2}}{N} -\mu^{2} \\

Where:

X: Values \\\mu: Mean \\N: Number\ of\ values

The mean can be calculated as each value multiplied by its probability

\mu = 0*0.4 + 1*0.3 + 2*0.1+3*0.15+ 4*0.05=1.15

\frac{\Sigma (X)^{2}}{N} =\frac{(0^{2}+1^{2}+2^{2}+3^{2}+4^{2})}{5} =6

Replacing the mean and the summatory of X:

\sigma^{2} = \frac{\Sigma(X)^{2}}{N} -\mu^{2} \\= 6 - 1.15^{2}\\= 4.6775

The length of a rectangle is 8feet less than the width. The perimeter is 64 feet. Find the length and the width
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

Length = 4 feet

Width = 4 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a rectangle formula = 2L + 2W

Where L = Length

W = Width

The length of a rectangle is 8feet less than the width.

Hence,

L = 8 - W

The perimeter is 64 feet.

Hence,

64 = 2(8 - W) × 2W

64 =( 16 - 2W )2W

64 = -4W² + 32W

4W² - 32W + 64 = 0

Factorise

4W² - 16W - 16W + 64 = 0

4W (W - 4) - 16(W - 4) = 0

W - 4 = 0

W = 4

Width = 4

Solving for L

L = 8 - W

L = 8 - 4

L = 4

Therefore,

Length = 4 feet

Width = 4 feet

10 – 7x = 2 - 8x help :)
Rudik [331]
10-7x=2-8x

We move all terms to the left:

10-7x-(2-8x)=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-7x-(-8x+2)+10=0

We get rid of parentheses

-7x+8x-2+10=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

x+8=0

We move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right

x=-8
