The graph shows the relationship between the number of granola bars and amount of calories per bar.

Suppose the weights of apples are normally distributed with a mean of 85 grams and a standard deviation of 8 grams. The weights

Answer:

a) 0.0304 = 3.04% probability a randomly chosen apple exceeds 100 g in weight.

b) The weight that 80% of the apples exceed is of 78.28g.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Weights of apples are normally distributed with a mean of 85 grams and a standard deviation of 8 grams.

This means that $\mu = 85, \sigma = 8$

a. Find the probability a randomly chosen apple exceeds 100 g in weight.

This is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 100. So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{100 - 85}{8}$

$Z = 1.875$

$Z = 1.875$ has a p-value of 0.9697

1 - 0.9696 = 0.0304

0.0304 = 3.04% probability a randomly chosen apple exceeds 100 g in weight.

b. What weight do 80% of the apples exceed?

This is the 100 - 80 = 20th percentile, which is X when Z has a p-value of 0.2, so X when Z = -0.84.

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$-0.84 = \frac{X- 85}{8}$

$X - 85 = -0.84*8$

$X = 78.28$

The weight that 80% of the apples exceed is of 78.28g.

A cylinder has a 12-inch diameter and is 15 inches tall. It is filled to the top with water. A 6-inch-diameter ball is placed wi

Tems11 [23]

The volume of the cylinder is the space occupied by the cylinder. The volume of the water in the cylinder is 1583.36266 in³.

<h3>What is the volume of a cylinder?</h3>

The volume of the cylinder is the space occupied by the cylinder. It is calculated with the help of the formula,

$\text{Volume of the cyllinder}= \pi r^2h$

As it is given that the diameter of the cylinder is 12 inches while the height of the cylinder is 15 inches, also, it has a ball of the diameter of 6 inches placed inside the cylinder, therefore, the volume of the water that is inside the cylinder is the difference in the volume of the cylinder and the volume of the spherical ball.

$\text{Volume of the cyllinder}= \pi r^2h = \dfrac{\pi}{4}d^2 h$
