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

let's label each pump A, B, and C, just for convenience. A fills the tank by 1/50 every minute, B fills the tank by 1/60 every minute, and C drains it by 1/75 every minute. Now we can put them all into one function: t(1/50 + 1/60 - 1/75) = 1, where t = our time in minutes and 1 = the tank being full.

next, we solve for t: t = 300/7 minutes, or approximately 42.86 minutes.

Steven gained 100 points.

To calculate the gain or lose of any 2 numbers, always do

Final - Initial

So,

-50 - -150

Is like saying

I have negative 50, and I take away negative 150.

Taking away negative numbers is just addition.

-50 + 150 = 100

A+(−5)=−12 please need the answer now!!!!!
vovikov84 [41]
A + (-5) = -12
First isolate your variable so move the -5 over (by adding 5 to both sides)
Then you will have a = -12+5
Simplify and you get A= -7
