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.

Three financial institutions, A,B,C, are offering different rates on a loan. Is a offer 3.15 % annual compounded monthly, B offe
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that interest rates are as follows:

Let P be 100 dollars for each.

A) 3.15% compounded monthly.

Hence amount = 100(1+\frac{3.15}{1200} )^{12}

Final amount = 103.20 dollars

B) 2.25% compounded quarterly

Final amt. = 100(1+\frac{2.25}{400} )^4

=102.27

C) 2.05% compounded daily

Amount = 100(1+\frac{2.05}{36500} )^{365}

=102.07

Obviously A is the best deal.
