Besides 18 and 1, what is one factor of 18?

Parts being manufactured at a plant are supposed to weigh 65 grams. Suppose the distribution of weights has a Normal distributio

andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

0.64%.

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 normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score 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 p-value, 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.

Mean of 75 grams and a standard deviation of 22 grams.

This means that $\mu = 75, \sigma = 22$

Sample of 144:

This means that $n = 144, s = \frac{22}{\sqrt{144}} = 1.8333$

More than 80 or less than 70:

Both are the same distance from the mean, so we find one probability and multiply by 2.

The probability that it is less than 70 is the pvalue of Z when X = 70. So

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

$Z = \frac{70 - 75}{1.8333}$

$Z = -2.73$

$Z = -2.73$ has a pvalue of 0.0032

2*0.0032 = 0.0064.

0.0064*100% = 0.64%

The probability is 0.64%.

A circle’s circumference is approximately 76 cm.

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer: Area= 459.73cm^2

Step-by-step explanation: Circumference of a circle is 2πr

76=2×3.14×r

r= 76÷(6×3.14)

r=12.10

Area of a circle= πr^2

Area= 3.14×(12.10)^2

Area= 456.73cm^2

When Ryan is serving at a restaurant, there is a 0.75 probability that each party will order drinks with their meal. During one

Triss [41]

Answer:

0.82 = 82% probability that at least one party will not order drinks

Step-by-step explanation:

For each party, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they will order drinks with their meal, or they will not. The probability of a party ordering drinks with their meal is independent of other parties. So the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

When Ryan is serving at a restaurant, there is a 0.75 probability that each party will order drinks with their meal.

This means that $p = 0.75$

During one hour, Ryan served 6 parties. Assuming that each party is equally likely to order drinks, what is the probability that at least one party will not order drinks?

6 parties, so n = 6.

Either all parties will order drinks, or at least one will not. The sum of the probabilities of these events is decimal 1. So

$P(X = 6) + P(X < 6) = 1$
