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

of oranges are also normally distributed with a mean of 131 grams and a standard deviation of 20 grams. Amy has an apple that weighs 90 grams and an orange that weighs 155 grams.
Required:
a. Find the probability a randomly chosen apple exceeds 100 g in weight.
b. What weight do 80% of the apples exceed?

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.

Two consecutive positive integers have a product of 6. what are the integers
sergejj [24]

Hey there!

One way to do this is find all the factors of 6 and then see which pair fit the requirements.

The factors of 6 are 1, 2, 3, and 6. (Note: There can be negative factors, but I am going to leave them out since it is asking for positive integers.)

You can find them by asking if each number can go into 6.

1, 2, 3, and 6 all go into 6, while 4 and 5 do not.

The requirements we have is that they must be consecutive <u>and</u> have a product of 6.

Consecutive means right after one another.

The only numbers that fit this are 2 and 3.

2 x 3 = 6

Hope this helps!

A class voted for either rollerblading, swimming, or biking as their favorite summer activity. If rollerblading got 27% percent
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

All you have to do is find the rest of the percentage. Percentage adds up to 100%. So you will have to add the two percentages they gave you. 27+33=60%. Now you have to take away 60 from 100. 100-60=40%.

40%- That's the answer.

Hope this helps.
