Answer:

Probability that the average weight of a bar in a Simple Random Sample (SRS) with five of these chocolate bars is between 7.64 and 7.9 ounces is 0.9235.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the distribution of actual weights of 8-oz chocolate bars produced by a certain machine is normal with mean 7.8 ounces and standard deviation 0.15 ounces.

A simple random sample of five of these chocolate bars is taken.

<em>Let </em>\bar X<em> = sample average weight of a bar</em>

The z-score probability distribution for sample mean is given by;

                 Z = \frac{ \bar X -\mu}{{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }} }  ~ N(0,1)

where, \mu = average weight = 7.8 ounces

            \sigma = standard deviation = 0.15 ounces

             n = sample of chocolate bars = 5

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is away from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value (area) 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.

So, probability that the the average weight of a bar in a Simple Random Sample (SRS) with five of these chocolate bars is between 7.64 and 7.9 ounces is given by = P(7.64 ounces < \bar X < 7.90 ounces)

P(7.64 ounces < \bar X < 7.90 ounces) = P(\bar X < 7.90) - P(\bar X \leq 7.64)

  P(\bar X < 7.90) = P( \frac{ \bar X -\mu}{{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }} } <  \frac{ 7.90-7.80}{{\frac{0.15}{\sqrt{5} } }} } ) = P(Z < 1.49) = 0.93189  {using z table}

  P(\bar X \leq 7.64) = P( \frac{ \bar X -\mu}{{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }} } \leq  \frac{ 7.64-7.80}{{\frac{0.15}{\sqrt{5} } }} } ) = P(Z \leq -2.39) = 1 - P(Z < 2.39)

                                                         = 1 - 0.99158 = 0.00842

<em>The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 2.39 and x = 1.49 in the z table which has an area of 0.99158 and 0.93189 respectively.</em>

Therefore, P(7.64 ounces < \bar X < 7.90 ounces) = 0.93189 - 0.00842 = 0.9235.

F(x)= 20 + 12(x - 2)​
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

f(x) = 12x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)= 20 + 12(x - 2)​

Distribute

f(x) =20 +12x - 24

Combine like terms

f(x) = 12x+20-24

f(x) = 12x - 4
