A company produces packets of soap powder labeled "Giant Size 32 Ounces." The actual weight of soap powder in such a box has a N

ormal distribution with a mean of 33 oz and a standard deviation of 0.7 oz. To avoid having dissatisfied customers, the company says a box of soap is considered underweight if it weighs less than 32 oz. To avoid losing money, it labels the top 5% (the heaviest 5%) overweight.
Reference: Ref 3-5

How heavy does a box have to be for it to be labeled overweight?
A. 31.60 oz
B. 31.85 oz
C. 34.15 oz
D. 34.40 oz

Answer:

C. 34.15 oz

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore 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 pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu= 33, \sigma = 0.7

How heavy does a box have to be for it to be labeled overweight?

Top 5%, so X when Z has a pvalue of 1-0.05 = 0.95.

So X when Z = 1.645.

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

1.645 = \frac{X - 33}{0.7}

X - 33 = 0.7*1.645

X = 34.15

So the correct answer is:

C. 34.15 oz

You have two coupons, one is for $25 off and the other is for 25% off. When would you use the $25 off coupon? When would you use
Brut [27]

Answer:

If I had two coupons, one for $ 25 off and the other for 25% off, to determine when I would use the $ 25 off coupon and when I would use the 25% off coupon, and when it would not matter which coupon I would use, I must carry out the following reasoning:

The $ 25 off coupon is a flat coupon, that is, it does not adapt to the price of the thing to be paid, but rather maintains its value constantly. Therefore, its utilization will be higher if those $ 25 represent a high value compared to the initial price of the product: if the thing is worth $ 50, a $ 25 off coupon represents half its value, while if the thing is worth $ 500, that same coupon will only represent 5% of it. Therefore, I would use the coupon for things that are worth between $ 25 and $ 99.

Instead, the 25% off coupon is a variable coupon, which is adapted according to the value of the product. In other words, a discount will always be made for 25% of said value: if the product is worth $ 80, the discount will be $ 20 (80 x 0.25), while if the product is worth $ 1,000, the discount will be $ 250 (1000 x 0.25 ). Therefore, I would use the coupon for products with a price greater than $ 100, that is, from $ 101 and up.

Finally, since 25% of $ 100 is $ 25, if you buy something of that value, it would be indistinct to use either of the two coupons.

Solve for x using distributive property <br><br> 2(x+7)=13<br><br> and<br><br> 5(x-7)=17
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

x= −1/2, x=52/5

Step-by-step explanation:

2(x+7)=13

(2)(x)+(2)(7)=13(Distribute)

2x+14−14=13−14

2x=−1

2x/<u><em>2</em></u>=−1/<u>2</u>

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

5(x−7)=17

(5)(x)+(5)(−7)=17(Distribute)

5x+−35=17

5x−35=17

5x−35+35=17+35

5x=52

5x/<u><em>5</em></u>=52/<u>5</u>
