An automobile manufacturer is preparing a shipment of cars and trucks on a cargo ship that can carry 21600 tons.

LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

5,040 cars

Step-by-step explanation:

Each truck weighs 7.2 tons, and there are already 480 trucks loaded. This means that the cargo ship is currently carrying 3,456 tons.:

480 x 7.2 = 3,456

The limit is 21,600 tons, so 21,600 - 3,456 = 18,144.

Divide the remaining capacity by how much a car weighs:

18,144 / 3.6 = 5,040

Suppose the weights of farmer carl's potatoes are normally distributed with a mean of 8.0 ounces and a standard deviation of 1.1

denis23 [38]

Given that <span>the weights of farmer carl's potatoes are normally distributed with a mean of 8.0 ounces and a standard deviation of 1.1 ounces.

The probability of a normally distributed data between two values (a, b) is given by:

$P(a\ \textless \ X\ \textless \ b)=P\left(z\ \textless \ \frac{b-\mu}{\sigma/\sqrt{n}} \right)-P\left(z\ \textless \ \frac{a-\mu}{\sigma/\sqrt{n}} \right) \\ \\ =P(7.5\ \textless \ X\ \textless \ 8.5)=P\left(z\ \textless \ \frac{8.5-8.0}{1.1/\sqrt{6}} \right)-P\left(z\ \textless \ \frac{7.5-8.0}{1.1/\sqrt{6}} \right) \\ \\ =P(z\ \textless \ 1.113)-P(-1.113)=0.8672-0.1328=0.7344$ </span>
