NikAS [45]

Answer:

A college student took 4 courses last semester. His final grades, along with the credits each class is worth, are as follow: A (3), B (4), C (2), and D (3). The grading system assigns quality points as follows: A: 4; B: 3; C: 2; D: 1; and F: 0. Find the student’s GPA for this semester. Round your answer to the nearest thousandth.

another way is

This is a weighted average question. You are going to "weight" each course by the number of credits it is worth and then divide by the total number of credits. In other words, you are going to multiply each grade (A=4, B=3) by the number of credits attached to that grade. This will ensure that the courses that have more credits count more in the overall average. Then you are going to divide by the total number of credits to get the overall GPA.

So,

(3*4 + 4*3 + 2 *2 + 3*1)/(3+4+2+3) = GPA

Help me on this question! Jake can carry 6 1/4 pounds of wood in from the barn.His father can carry 1 5/7 times as much as jake.

ioda

$\text{ Jake father can carry } 10\frac{5}{7} \text{ or } \frac{75}{7} \text{ pounds }$

Solution:

From given question,

Number of pounds Jake carry = $6\frac{1}{4} \text{ pounds }$

Number of pounds his father carry is $1\frac{5}{7}$ times as much as jake

To find: Number of pounds Jake father can carry

Convert the mixed fractions to improper fractions

Multiply the whole number part by the fraction's denominator.

Add that to the numerator.

Then write the result on top of the denominator

$\rightarrow 6\frac{1}{4} = \frac{4 \times 6+1}{4} = \frac{25}{4}\\\\\rightarrow 1\frac{5}{7} = \frac{7 \times 1+5}{7} = \frac{12}{7}$

Then according to question,

$\text{Pounds father carry } = \frac{12}{7} \text{ times the pounds jake carry }\\\\\text{Pounds father carry } = \frac{12}{7} \times \frac{25}{4}\\\\\text{Pounds father carry } = \frac{75}{7}\\\\\text{In terms of mixed fractions, }\\\\\text{Pounds father carry } = \frac{75}{7} = 10\frac{5}{7}$

$\text{ Thus, Jake father can carry } 10\frac{5}{7} \text{ or } \frac{75}{7} \text{ pounds }$

Wires manufactured for use in a computer system are specified to have resistances between 0.11 and 0.13 ohms. The actual measure

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

a) $P(0.11$

And we can find this probability with this difference and with the normal standard table or excel:

$P(-1.11$

b) $P(0.11 < \bar X < 0.13)$

And we can use the z score defined by:

$z = \frac{\bar X -\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$

And using the limits we got:

$z = \frac{0.11-0.12}{\frac{0.009}{\sqrt{4}}}= -2.22$

$z = \frac{0.13-0.12}{\frac{0.009}{\sqrt{4}}}= 2.22$

And we want to find this probability:

$P(-2.22< Z$

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".

Part a

Let X the random variable that represent the resitances of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

$X \sim N(0.12,0.009)$

Where $\mu=0.12$ and $\sigma=0.009$

We are interested on this probability

$P(0.11$

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

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

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

$P(0.11$

And we can find this probability with this difference and with the normal standard table or excel:

$P(-1.11$

Part b

We select a sample size of n =4. And since the distribution for X is normal then we know that the distribution for the sample mean $\bar X$ is given by:

$\bar X \sim N(\mu, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})$

And we want this probability:

$P(0.11 < \bar X < 0.13)$

And we can use the z score defined by:

$z = \frac{\bar X -\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$

And using the limits we got:

$z = \frac{0.11-0.12}{\frac{0.009}{\sqrt{4}}}= -2.22$

$z = \frac{0.13-0.12}{\frac{0.009}{\sqrt{4}}}= 2.22$

And we want to find this probability:

$P(-2.22< Z$

Person A buys 12 granola bars and 7 cups of yogurt for $15.50. Person B buys 6 granola bars and 11 cups of yogurt for $11.50. Fi

ExtremeBDS [4]

Granola bars cost $1 each and the yogurt is $.50 per cup. If we plug this in to each equation, you'll see that 12 granola bars equals $12, and 7 cups of yogurt equals $3.50, for a total of $15.50. The second statement would yield $6 + $5.50, which equals $11.50.
