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.

Timothy has a fenced-in garden in the shape of a rhombus. The length of the longer diagonal is 24 feet, and the length of the sh
Rzqust [24]
One property of the diagonals of a rhombus is that they are perpendicular bisectors of each other. So 4 congruent right triangles will be formed when you draw the two diagonals. Considering one right triangle, we can solve for the two sides by dividing them by 2.
24 ft/ 2 = 12 ft
18 ft/ 2 = 9 ft

Using the Pythagorean Theorem, we can now solve for the hypotenuse which is the side of the rhombus.
side = √(12²+9²) = 15 ft

The answer is B.

A recipe for banana oat muffins calls for 3/4 cups of oats. You need to triple the recipe to make enough for your whole family.
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer: 2 and 1/4 cups of oats (9/4 cups of oats)

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that, for the recipe, we need 3/4 cups of oats.

Now, you want to triple the recipe (then you need to use 3 times more ingredients).

This means that, if for the recipe you needed 3/4 cups of oats, when we triple that we have:

3*(3/4 cups) = 9/4 cups

This means that you need to use 9/4 cups of oats.

And we could also write this as:

9/4 cups = 8/4 cups + 1/4 cups = 2 + 1/4 cups of oats.
