The weight, X, of cherry tomatoes selected at random from a very large bin at the local supermarket follows a Normal distributio

n with mean 3 oz. and standard deviation 2 oz. Suppose we pick 8 cherry tomatoes from the bin at random (independently) and put them in our bag. What is the probability that exactly 5 of the 8 cherry tomatoes weigh less than 4 oz (rounded to the nearest 0.01)?

Answer: the probability that exactly 5 of the 8 cherry tomatoes weigh less than 4 oz is 0.05

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

X has normal distribution has mean µ = 3

standard deviation σ = 2  

now

P( x< 4) = P( (x-µ)/σ /(3-4)/5)

= P( z < -0.5 )

= 0.3085  {from the z-table}

X has binomial distribution with n = 8 and p = 0.3085

so P(x=5)

P(x=5) = 8C₅(0.3085)⁵ (1 - 0.3085)⁸⁻⁵

= 0.0517  ≈ 0.05

Therefore the probability that exactly 5 of the 8 cherry tomatoes weigh less than 4 oz is 0.05

Please explain how you would prove that all circles are similar?
NISA [10]

Answer:

Shapes are similar when one can be scaled to be like another one. Circles are always the same shape and they only vary in size. A very small circle can be expanded to be the same size as any other without changing it's shape, only size. However this is not true for ovals since they come in different shapes.

Given: PQ= TQ, UQ: QS
joja [24]

Answer:

The required prove is shown below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided statement.

The required figure is shown below:

 Statement                                             Reasons

PQ ≅ TQ; UQ ≅ QS                               Given

PQ = TQ, UQ = QS                     Definition of Congruence

PQ + QS = PS; TQ+QU = TU    Segment Addition Postulate

TQ + QS = PS                            Substitution  (PQ = TQ)

TQ + QS = TU                            Substitution  (QU = QS)

PS = TU                                    Transitive Property

Prove: PS ≅TU                          Definition of Congruence

Hence, the required prove is shown above.
