Consumer products are required by law to contain at least as much as the amount printed on the package. For example, a bag of po

tato chips that is labeled as 10 ounces should contain at least 10 ounces.Assume that the standard deviation of the packaging equipment yields a bag weight standard deviation of 0.2 ounces. Assume the bag weight distribution is bell-shaped. Determine what average bag weight must be used to achieve at least 99 percent of the bags having 10 or more ounces in the bag.

Answer:

The average bag weight must be used to achieve at least 99 percent of the bags having 10 or more ounces in the bag=9.802

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Standard deviation, \sigma=0.2ounces

We have to find the average bag weight must be used to achieve at least 99 percent of the bags having 10 or more ounces in the bag.

P(x\geq 10)=0.99

Assume the bag weight distribution is bell-shaped

Therefore,

P(\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\geq 10)=0.99

We know that

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

Using the value of z

Now,

\frac{10-\mu}{0.2}=0.99

10-\mu=0.99\times 0.2

\mu=10-0.99\times 0.2

\mu=9.802

Hence, the average bag weight must be used to achieve at least 99 percent of the bags having 10 or more ounces in the bag=9.802

Trisha has a game board as shown below, which is a square that has a total area of 400 square inches. The area of the large circ
Mazyrski [523]

Answer: First option is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Total area of square inches = 400

The area of the large circle = 314

Now, we need to find the probability that Trisha will not get any points with one randomly thrown dart that lands somewhere inside the square,

Let E be the event the Trisha will get points .

so,

P(E)=\frac{314}{400}

As we know that

P(E')=1-P(E)\\\\P(E')=1-\frac{314}{400}\\\\P(E')=\frac{400-314}{400}\\\\P(E')=\frac{86}{400}\\\\P(E')=0.215=0.22

So, Probability that Trisha will not get any points with one randomly thrown dart that lands somewhere inside the square = 0.22

So, First option is correct.

Evaluate<br> 5! 4!<br> ____<br> 7! 2!<br> Simple as much as possible
shepuryov [24]

The value of the factorial is 5!4!/7!2! = 2/7

<h3>What is factorial?</h3>

The product of all positive integers less than or equal to a given positive integer and denoted by that integer and an exclamation point.

Given:

5!4!/7!2!

= 5!* 4*3*2!/7*6*5!*2!

=4*3/7*6

=12/42

=4/14

=2/7

Hence, 5!4!/7!2! = 2/7.

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

The fifth degree Taylor polynomial of g(x) is increasing around x=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes, you can do the derivative of the fifth degree Taylor polynomial, but notice that its derivative evaluated at x =-1 will give zero for all its terms except for the one of first order, so the calculation becomes simple:

P_5(x)=g(-1)+g'(-1)\,(x+1)+g"(-1)\, \frac{(x+1)^2}{2!} +g^{(3)}(-1)\, \frac{(x+1)^3}{3!} + g^{(4)}(-1)\, \frac{(x+1)^4}{4!} +g^{(5)}(-1)\, \frac{(x+1)^5}{5!}

and when you do its derivative:

1) the constant term renders zero,

2) the following term (term of order 1, the linear term) renders: g'(-1)\,(1) since the derivative of (x+1) is one,

3) all other terms will keep at least one factor (x+1) in their derivative, and this evaluated at x = -1 will render zero

Therefore, the only term that would give you something different from zero once evaluated at x = -1 is the derivative of that linear term. and that only non-zero term is: g'(-1)= 7 as per the information given. Therefore, the function has derivative larger than zero, then it is increasing in the vicinity of x = -1
