The weights of adobe bricks used for construction are normally distributed with a mean of 3 pounds and a standard deviation of 0

.25 pound. Assume that the weights of the bricks are independent and that a random sample of 28 bricks is selected. Round your answers to four decimal places (e.g. 98.7654). (a) What is the probability that all the bricks in the sample exceed 2.75 pounds? (b) What is the probability that the heaviest brick in the sample exceeds 3.75 pounds?

Answer:  a) 0.8413, b) 0.9987.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Mean = 3 pounds

Standard deviation = 0.25 pounds

n = 28 bricks

So, (a) What is the probability that all the bricks in the sample exceed 2.75 pounds?

P(X>2.75)\\\\=P(z>\dfrac{2.75-3}{0.25}\\\\=P(z>\dfrac{-0.25}{0.25})\\\\=P(z>-1)\\\\=0.8413

b) What is the probability that the heaviest brick in the sample exceeds 3.75 pounds?

P(X>3.75)\\\\=P(z>\dfrac{3.75-3}{0.25})\\\\=P(z>\dfrac{0.75}{0.25})\\\\=P(z>3)\\\\=0.9987

Hence, a) 0.8413, b) 0.9987.

Find sinx given cos2x=5/9
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

sinx = √2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

cos2x = 1-2sin²x

5/9 = 1-2sin²x

2sin²x =1-5/9

2sin²x = 4/9

sin²x = (4/9)/2

sin²x = (4/9)*(1/2)

sin²x = 2/9

sinx = √2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{4}{50} = \frac{x}{1400}  write the proportion where x is the number of people with a             missplaced time

50x = 5600  cross multipy

x = 112 divide both sides by 50

4x^2-21x-18=0<br> Find the discriminate
SpyIntel [72]

a = 4, b = -21, c = -18

to keep from getting "mixed up", evaluate the discriminant first ...

b<sup>2</sup> - 4ac = (-21)<sup>2</sup> - 4(4)(-18) = 729

sqrt(729) = 27

x = (21 +/- 27)/8

x = -3/4, x = 6

since the discriminant is a perfect square, the original quadratic will factor ...

4x<sup>2</sup> - 21x - 18 = 0

(4x + 3)(x - 6) = 0

x = -3/4, x = 6
