Answer:

The percentage of the bag that should have popped 96 kernels or more is 2.1%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The random variable <em>X</em> can be defined as the number of popcorn kernels that popped out of a mini bag.

The mean is, <em>μ</em> = 72 and the standard deviation is, <em>σ</em> = 12.

Assume that the population of the number of popcorn kernels that popped out of a mini bag follows a Normal distribution.

Compute the probability that a bag popped 96 kernels or more as follows:

Apply continuity correction:

P( X\geq 96)=P( X>96+0.50)

                 =P( X>96.50)\\=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{96.50-72}{12})\\=P(Z>2.04)\\=1-P(Z

*Use a <em>z</em>-table.

The probability that a bag popped 96 kernels or more is 0.021.

The percentage is, 0.021 × 100 = 2.1%.

Thus, the percentage of the bag that should have popped 96 kernels or more is 2.1%.

C=r(5-d)/y We need to solve for d.
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

5-Cy/r  = d

Step-by-step explanation:

C=r(5-d)/y

Multiply each side by y

Cy=r(5-d)/y *y

Cy=r(5-d)

Divide each side by r

Cy/r=r(5-d)/r

Cy/r=(5-d)

Subtract 5 from each side

Cy/r - 5 = 5-d-5

Cy/r - 5 = -d

Multiply by -1

-Cy/r + 5 = d

5-Cy/r  = d
