Centerpieces are normally distributed with mean of 30 ounces and standard deviation of 2 ounces. The weights of the shipping box

es are normally distributed with mean of 12 ounces and standard deviation of 1 ounce. Suppose that centerpieces are chosen at random and packed into randomly chosen shipping boxes.If a package exceeds 45 ounces, an additional charge is incurred. What is the proportion of packages will incur such a charge

Answer:

0.0901 = 9.01% of packages will incur such a charge

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be 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.

Sum of normal variables:

When we add normal variables, the mean will be the sum of the means, while the standard deviation is the square root of the sum of the variances.

Centerpieces are normally distributed with mean of 30 ounces and standard deviation of 2 ounces.

This means that \mu_C = 30, \sigma_C = 2

The weights of the shipping boxes are normally distributed with mean of 12 ounces and standard deviation of 1 ounce.

This means that \mu_S = 12, \sigma_S = 1

Suppose that centerpieces are chosen at random and packed into randomly chosen shipping boxes.

The shipment is given by the centerpice plus the shipping box. So the mean and the standard deviation of the weight are given by:

\mu = \mu_C + \mu_S = 30 + 12 = 42

\sigma = \sqrt{\sigma_C^2 + \sigma_S^2} = \sqrt{2^2 + 1^2} = \sqrt{5} = 2.236

If a package exceeds 45 ounces, an additional charge is incurred. What is the proportion of packages will incur such a charge

This proportion is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 45. So

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

Z = \frac{45 - 42}{2.236}

Z = 1.34

Z = 1.34 has a pvalue of 0.9099

1 - 0.9099 = 0.0901

0.0901 = 9.01% of packages will incur such a charge

Answer:

From left column to right

Left                             Right

1. 23a+18                         1. 7a-6

2. 23a-6                           2. 7a-18

3.  23a-18                             3. 7a+6

4. 0a+4                               4. 0a+0

Step-by-step explanation:

The first example you distribute by doing 3 x 5a plus 3 x 2 + 4 x 2a + 4 x 3

Answer is 15a+6+8a+12=

23a+18

Hope this helped :)

May I get some help? Thank you!​
Katen [24]

Answer:

vol. of triangular prism = lbh/2

vol. of rectangular prism = 18 of vol. of triangular prism

18x = 18 + 14x

4x = 18

x=4.5 ft

so vol. of rectangular prism = 6 × 4 . 5 × 3 = 81 ftcube

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

2) There is a cluster, and as x increases, y increases.

As x increases y increases it may be confusing because it steps down and then goes back up the overall shows that the number has gone up. it is a cluster because all the numbers are in a very close group.

Renee was able to plant 15 plant in 5min at this rate how many flowers could she paint plant in 45 min
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

Answer is 135 plant

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given that,

In 5 min Renee can plant 15 plant.

That means in one minute Renee can plant \frac{15}{5} plant.

i.e. Rate of planting = 3 plant per minute

So, In 45 minutes , she can plant  45×3 plant

i.e Plant she can plant in 45 minute = 135 plant
