Answer:

0.75 lbs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, this one is more simple. To find the weight of each book, You have to solve this division problem:

15/20

If you divided it the other way around, you would be saying each book weighed 1.33 pounds. That wouldn't be correct because then you would have over 20 lbs. of books, when you only have 15.

So, the answer is 0.75 pounds.

Information on a packet of seeds, which may not be a random sample of seeds, claims that the germination rate is 94%. What's

Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

0.1052

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that proportion of germination in the population is 94% =0.94

p = 0.96

Sample size = 220

Std dev of p = $\sqrt{\frac{pq}{n} } \\=0.016$

The probability that more than 96% of the 220 seeds in the packet will germinate

= $P(p\geq 0.96)\\=P(Z\geq \frac{0.96-0.94}{0.016})\\=P(Z\geq 1.25)\\==1-0.8948\\=0.1052$

Assumptions are np and nq >5 and also sample size >220 hence normal
