To get the answer, we first convert each fraction into decimal numbers. We do this by dividing the numerator by the denominator for each fraction as illustrated below:

8/9 = 0.889

1/9 = 0.111

Then, we compare the two decimal numbers to get the answer.

0.889 is not less than 0.111.

Therefore, 8/9 is not less than 1/9 and the answer to the question "Is 8/9 less than 1/9?" is no.

How to solve question 19<br> thanks

miskamm [114]

Let $X$ be the random variable for the weight of any given can, and let $\mu$ and $\sigma$ be the mean and standard deviation, respectively, for the distribution of $X$ .

You have

$\begin{cases}\mathbb P(X377)=0.025\end{cases}$

Recall that for any normal distribution, approximately 99.7% of it lies within three standard deviations of the mean, i.e. $\mathbb P(\mu-3\sigma$ . This means 0.3% must lie outside this range, $\mathbb P(X\mu+3\sigma)=0.003$ . Because the distribution is symmetric, it follows that $\mathbb P(X$ .

Also recall that for any normal distribution, about 95% of it falls within two standard deviations of the mean, so $\mathbb P(\mu-2\sigma$ , which means 5% falls outside, and by symmetry, $\mathbb P(X>\mu+2\sigma)=0.025$ .

Together this means

$\begin{cases}\mu-3\sigma=347\\\mu+2\sigma=377\end{cases}$

Solving for the mean and standard deviation gives $\mu=365$ and $\sigma=6$ .
