Olive weights are classified according to a unique set of adjectives implying great size. For example, the mean weight of olives

classified as "Colossal" is 7.7 grams. Suppose a particular company’s crop of "Colossal" olives is approximately Normally distributed with a mean of 7.7 grams and a standard deviation of 0.2 grams. Which of the following represents the probability that the mean weight of a random sample of 3 olives from this population is greater than 8 grams?
a. 0.0970
b. 0.9953
c. 0.0668
d. 0.0047
e. 0.1932

Answer:

d. 0.0047

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution

When the distribution is normal, we use 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.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

Population:

We have that \mu = 7.7, \sigma = 0.2

Sample of 3:

n = 3, s = \frac{0.2}{\sqrt{3}} = 0.1155

Which of the following represents the probability that the mean weight of a random sample of 3 olives from this population is greater than 8 grams?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 8. So

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

Z = \frac{8 - 7.7}{0.1155}

Z = 2.6

Z = 2.6 has a pvalue of 0.9953

1 - 0.9953 = 0.0047

The probability is given by option d.

A triangle forms the front of the Pantheon in Rome, Italy. Classify the triangle based on its sides. Then classify it based on i
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

(See explanation for further details)

Step-by-step explanation:

Classification based on sides:

Equilateral - Three sides with same length.

Isosceles - Two sides with same length.

Scalene - No sides with same length.

Classification based on sides:

Acute-Angled - All angles are acute. (0^{\circ} < \theta < 90^{\circ}, 0^{\circ} < \alpha < 90^{\circ}, 0^{\circ} < \beta < 90^{\circ}, \theta + \alpha + \beta = 180^{\circ})

Right-Angled - One angle is right. (0^{\circ} < \theta < 90^{\circ};\alpha = 90^{\circ}, 0^{\circ} < \beta < 90^{\circ}, \theta + \alpha + \beta = 180^{\circ})

Obtuse-Angled - One angle is obtuse. (0^{\circ} < \theta < 90^{\circ},90^{\circ}

Help me please [giving brainliest to best answer with step by step]

Hi there!

\large\boxed{3\text{ }  \frac{3}{4} cm^3}

Knowing that one cube has side-lengths of 1/2, we can calculate the dimensions for the prism:

Length: 1/2 × 5 = 2.5 cm

Height: 1/2 × 3 = 1.5 cm

Width: 1/2 × 2 = 1 cm

Use this formula to solve for the volume:

V = l × w × h

Thus:

V = 2.5 × 1.5 × 1 = 3.75 cm³

Convert to fraction:

75/100 = 3/4

Thus, the volume in mixed-numbers is 3 3/4 cm³.

What’s the answer to this question? Me and one of my classmates are having trouble on it! ( middle school btw I put high school
elena55 [62]

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

It would be 6 because on a square, all the sides have to be the same length. The length of the square is equal to the base of the parallelogram.
