Answer:

0.9984 = 99.84% probability that their mean weight will be between 334 grams and 354 grams.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

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.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

Mean of 344 grams and a standard deviation of 10 grams.

This means that \mu = 344, \sigma = 10

Sample of 10:

This means that n = 10, s = \frac{10}{\sqrt{10}}

What is the probability that their mean weight will be between 334 grams and 354 grams?

This is the p-value of Z when X = 354 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 334.

X = 354

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

Z = \frac{354 - 344}{\frac{10}{\sqrt{10}}}

Z = 3.16

Z = 3.16 has a p-value of 0.9992.

X = 334

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

Z = \frac{334 - 344}{\frac{10}{\sqrt{10}}}

Z = -3.16

Z = -3.16 has a p-value of 0.0008.

0.9992 - 0.0008 = 0.9984

0.9984 = 99.84% probability that their mean weight will be between 334 grams and 354 grams.

which equation, written in standard form correctly represents this scenario and indicates what the variables represent?
pishuonlain [190]

The answer is the third option.

The explanation is shown below:

1. You must keep on mind the information given in the exercise:

- She bough 3 pounds of coffee.

- She bought 2 pounds of chocolate.

- She spent a total of $24.

2. Therefore, you can call the price per pound of coffee x and the price per pound of chocolate y.

3. When you multiply 3 pounds by the price per pound of coffee, you obtain the amount of money she spent for 3 pounds. When you multiply 2 pounds by the price per pound of chocolate, you obtain the amount of money she spent for 2 pounds. If you add both amounts, you obtain the total spent, which was $24.

4. Therefore, you can express this as following:

3x+2y=24

Answer:

10800

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve any equation we use PEDMAS rule(this is the sequence of priorities) where:

P: Parentheses

E: Exponent

D: Division

M: Multiplication

A: Addition

S: Subtraction

In the expression 120\times 90 ,there is only one operation is used that is multiplication.

120\times 90=10800
