Vilka [71]3 years ago
7 0

Answer: 2/5

Step-by-step explanation:  To convert a Percent to a Fraction follow these steps:

Step 1: Write down the percent divided by 100 like this: percent 100.

Step 2: If the percent is not a whole number, then multiply both top and bottom by 10 for every number after the decimal point. ...

Step 3: Simplify (or reduce) the fraction.

One box of cake mix makes a maximum of 24 cupcakes. A caterer needs 300 cupcakes for an event.
krek1111 [17]
We are given the data that in each box of cupcakes the capacity is a maximum of 24. There are 300 cupcakes required. Hence the number of boxes needed is 300 cupacakes/ 24 cupcakes/ box. The answer is equals to 12. 5. Since there is no such thing as 0.5 box, the answer is rounded up to C. 13

Probability The average time between incoming calls at a switchboard is 3 minutes.if a call has just come in,the probability tha
Stels [109]

Answer:

a) 0.1535

b) 0.4866

c) 0.8111

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that the next call come within the next t minutes is:

  • p(t) = 1 -e ^{- t/3}

According to this model,

a) the probability that a call in comes within 1/2 minutes is p(t) = 1 -e ^{- (1/2)/3} =0.1535

b) the probability that a call in comes within 2 minutes is  p(t) = 1 -e ^{-2/3} =0.4866

c) the probability that a call in comes within 5 minutes is  p(t) = 1 -e ^{-5/3} =0.8111

Rockwell hardness of pins of a certain type is known to have a mean value of 50 and a standard deviation of 1.8. (Round your ans
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

a) 0.011 = 1.1% probability that the sample mean hardness for a random sample of 17 pins is at least 51

b) 0.0001 = 0.1% probability that the sample mean hardness for a random sample of 45 pins is at least 51

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 50, \sigma = 1.8

(a) If the distribution is normal, what is the probability that the sample mean hardness for a random sample of 17 pins is at least 51?

Here n = 17, s = \frac{1.8}{\sqrt{17}} = 0.4366

This probability is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 51. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

By the Central Limit Theorem

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

Z = \frac{51 - 50}{0.4366}

Z = 2.29

Z = 2.29 has a pvalue of 0.9890

1 - 0.989 = 0.011

0.011 = 1.1% probability that the sample mean hardness for a random sample of 17 pins is at least 51

(b) What is the (approximate) probability that the sample mean hardness for a random sample of 45 pins is at least 51?

Here n = 17, s = \frac{1.8}{\sqrt{45}} = 0.2683

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

Z = \frac{51 - 50}{0.0.2683}

Z = 3.73

Z = 3.73 has a pvalue of 0.9999

1 - 0.9999 = 0.0001

0.0001 = 0.1% probability that the sample mean hardness for a random sample of 45 pins is at least 51

I REALLY need help with this! Could someone please help me?
denis23 [38]

Answer:

It's the first option

Step-by-step explanation:

The Midsegment Theorem states that the segment connecting the midpoints of two sides of a triangle (in this case AB and  AC) is parallel to the third side (BC) and half as long.
