Answer:

No, It is not necessary that the machine has to be reset

Step-by-step explanation:

The full question is "A machine used to fill gallon-sized paint cans is regulated so that the amount of paint dispensed has a mean of 126 ounces and a standard deviation of 0.40 ounce. You randomly select 40 cans and carefully measure the contents. The sample mean of the cans is 125.9 ounces. Does the machine need to be reset?"

The amount of paint that has dispensed has a mean of 126 ounces and a standard deviation of 0.40 ounce.

A sample of 40 cans is taken and this has a sample mean of 125.9 ounces

The z score is:

Z  = Х  - ц / (б/\sqrt{n})

Z = 125.9 - 126  / 0.4 /\sqrt{40}

Z = -0.1  / 0.0632

Z = -1.58

The value of z-score is –1.58. It is not necessary that the machine has to be reset as, the z score value of randomly sampled 40 cans with a mean equal to 125.9 ounces is likely and lies within 2 standard deviations of the mean.

There are 24 pens in a desk drawer. The pens are either red or blue. The ratio of red pens to blue pens is 5:1. How many pens ar
Flura [38]

Answer:

The number of red pens is 20.

The number of blue pens is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that, the ratio of number of red pens to the number of blue pens is 5 : 1.

∴ Let us assume that the number of red pens be 5<em>x</em> and number of blue pens be <em>x</em>.

Total number of pens in the desk drawer = 24

Now, according to question :

Number of red pens + Number of blue pens = 24

⇒5<em>x</em> + <em>x</em> = 24

⇒6<em>x</em> = 24

⇒x=\frac{24}{6}=4

So, number of red pens in the drawer = 5<em>x</em> = 5 × 4 = 20

Number of blue pens in the drawer = <em>x</em> = 4
