There are 472 girls and boys combined. Subtract 116 from 472, then split this number in half.

472-116=356

356÷2=178

This means that each group has 178 people, but the girls side has 178+116.

Therefore, there are 178 boys in the class.

If the filling equipment is functioning properly what is the probability that the volume of oil in a randomly selected barrel wi
Sophie [7]

Answer:

P(X>55.4)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{55.4-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{55.4-55}{0.5})=P(Z>0.8)

P(Z>0.8)=1-P(Z\leq 0.8)

P(Z>0.8)=1-0.788=0.212

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming this previous info : "Trucks carry barrels of crude oil from a port in Texas to a distributer in New Mexico on long  trailers. Filling equipment is used to fill the barrels with the oil. When functioning properly,  the actual volume of oil loaded into each barrel by the filling equipment at the port is  approximately normally distributed with a mean of 55 gallons and a standard deviation of 0.5  gallons. If the mean is greater than 55.4 gallons, the filling mechanism is overfilling."

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the amount filling of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(55,0.5)  

Where \mu=55 and \sigma=0.5

We are interested on this probability

P(X>55.4)

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

P(X>55.4)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{55.4-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{55.4-55}{0.5})=P(Z>0.8)

And we can find this probability using the complement rule:

P(Z>0.8)=1-P(Z\leq 0.8)

And in order to find these probabilities we can use tables for the normal standard distribution, excel or a calculator.  

P(Z>0.8)=1-0.788=0.212

Is the question how much was the banker Bob's last paycheck a statistical question?

The question is actually a financial banking question if it is about his check and how much it was worth statistics would be a couple of other things into a group and ranked. Financial is money.

What is the rule? 100 cm 1 m, 250 cm ? M, 1500 cm ? M
kirza4 [7]
There are 100 cm(centimeters) in a m(meter).
So, to solve this, we divide 250 by 100. this gives us 2.5meters.
1500÷100=15meters
The rule is m=cm÷100.
