The weights of a certain brand of candies are normally distributed with a mean weight of 0.8552 g and a standard deviation of 0.

0519 g. A sample of these candies came from a package containing 442 ​candies, and the package label stated that the net weight is 377.3 g.​ (If every package has 442 ​candies, the mean weight of the candies must exceed StartFraction 377.3 Over 442 EndFraction equals0.8537 g for the net contents to weigh at least 377.3 ​g.) a. If 1 candy is randomly​ selected, find the probability that it weighs more than 0.8537 g. The probability is nothing. ​(Round to four decimal places as​ needed.)

Answer:

The probability that the weight of a candy randomly selected is more than 0.8537 is 0.7486

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The mean candle weight = 0.8552 g

The standard deviation = 0.0519 g

The number in the sample, n = 442 candles

By central limit theorem, the sample standard deviation, \sigma _{\bar x} is given by the relationship;

\sigma _{\bar x} = \dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } = \dfrac{0.0519}{\sqrt{442} } = 0.002469

The probability is given by the relation;

P\left (\bar{X}>0.8537  \right )= P\left (\dfrac{\bar{X}-\mu }{\dfrac{\sigma }{\sqrt{n}}} >\dfrac{0.8537-\mu }{\dfrac{\sigma }{\sqrt{n}}}  \right )

P\left (\bar{X}>0.8537  \right )= P\left (\dfrac{\bar{X}-0.8552 }{\dfrac{\sigma }{\sqrt{n}}} >\dfrac{0.8537-0.8552 }{\dfrac{0.0519 }{\sqrt{442}}}  \right )

P\left (\bar{X}>0.8537  \right )= P\left (z>-0.6076\right )

The from the z-score table we have = 0.2514

The probability of P (z > -6076) = 1 - 0.2514 =  0.7486

The probability that the weight of a candy randomly selected is more than 0.8537 = 0.7486.

The diagram above, not drawn to scale,shows a triangle, ABC, with area 28units². Show workings.
Valentin [98]

A. (0,-6)
plug in the area to the area formula for a triangle (A=1/2bh). so 28=1/2b(4) [since the height is 4]. divide by 4 (7=1/2b). multiply by 2/divide by 1/2 (14=b). the base equals 14 units long.
B. y=2/3x+4
find the slope of the line (2/3)
the y-intercept is 4

olya-2409 [2.1K]
Prob(spinning a number < 3on 1 spin)  = Prob( spinning 1 or 2) = 2/5

Prob( spinning <3 3 times) =  2/5 * 2/5 * 2/5  = 8/125

These events are independent so we multiply the probabilities.
