The soup produced by a company has a salt level that is normally distributed with a mean of 5.4 grams and a standard deviation o

f 0.3 grams. The company takes readings of every 10th bar off the production line. The reading points are 5.8, 5.9, 4.9, 5.2, 5.0, 4.9, 6.2, 5.1, 5.7, 6.1. Is the process in control or out of control and why?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean of the reading points is

Mean = (5.8 + 5.9 + 4.9 + 5.2 + 5.0 + 4.9 + 6.2 + 5.1 + 5.7 + 6.1)/10 = 5.48

The process is out of control if the mean salt level of the readings is greater than 5.4

For the null hypothesis,

µ = 5.4

For the alternative hypothesis,

µ > 5.4

This is a right tailed test.

Since the population standard deviation is given, z score would be determined from the normal distribution table. The formula is

z = (x - µ)/(σ/√n)

Where

x = sample mean

µ = population mean

σ = population standard deviation

n = number of samples

From the information given,

µ = 5.4

x = 5.48

σ = 0.3

n = 10

z = (5.48 - 5.4)/(0.3/√10) = 0.84

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.7996

The probability value to the right of the z score is 1 - 0.7996 = 0.2

Assuming a significance level of 0.05

Since alpha, 0.05 < than the p value, 0.2, then we would fail to reject the null hypothesis. Therefore, At a 5% level of significance, we can conclude that the process is not out of control. If we had rejected the null hypothesis, then our conclusion would be that the process is out of control.

Solve the following quadratic equation by factoring:<br> <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=y%5E%7B2%7D" id="TexFormula1" title="
Furkat [3]

Answer:

y = 8 or y = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for y over the real numbers:

y^2 - 8 y = 0

Factor y from the left hand side:

y (y - 8) = 0

Split into two equations:

y - 8 = 0 or y = 0

Add 8 to both sides:

Answer: y = 8 or y = 0

This is a triangle 
To find the area, count the side (which is 5)
You can see that the peak opposite of the side is 7 units in length, that is the height
The formula for the area of the triangle is 
A = (b * h)/2
b = 5
h = 7
A = (5 * 7)/2
A = 35/2
A = 17.5

Hope this helps

luda_lava [24]

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

h(x)=4x-2                         h(x)=3

h(3)=4(3)-2                     substitute

h(3)=12-2                        multiply

=10                                subtract

So So sorry, I answered so late xd

The mean can be found by adding all the numbers then dividing it by the amount of numbers

The mean for team A is about 7.7 
and the mean for team B is about 7.6
So they're A.) About the same

To find the range find the biggest number then subtract it by the smallest
Team A: 12,0 ; 12 - 0 = 12
12 is the range
Team B: 12,3 ; 12 - 3 = 9
The answer is B.) <span>much greater for conference a than for b</span>

Your boss tells you that she knows the length of the widgets your company makes is normally distributed with a mean of 25 inches
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

Mean of sampling distribution = 25 inches

Standard deviation of sampling distribution = 4 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 25 inches

Standard Deviation, σ = 12 inches

Sample size, n = 9

We are given that the distribution of length of the widgets is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

a) Mean of the sampling distribution

The best approximator for the mean of the sampling distribution is the population mean itself.

Thus, we can write:

\bar{x} = \mu = 25\text{ inches}

b) Standard deviation of the sampling distribution

s = \dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} = \dfrac{12}{\sqrt{9}} = 4\text{ inches}
