Answer:

The mean is 15.93 ounces and the standard deviation is 0.29 ounces.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are 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.

7% of the bottles containing this soft drink there are less than 15.5 ounces

This means that when X = 15.5, Z has a pvalue of 0.07. So when X = 15.5, Z = -1.475.

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

-1.475 = \frac{15.5 - \mu}{\sigma}

15.5 - \mu = -1.475\sigma

\mu = 15.5 + 1.475\sigma

10% of them there are more than 16.3 ounces.

This means that when X = 16.3, Z has a pvalue of 1-0.1 = 0.9. So when X = 16.3, Z = 1.28.

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

1.28 = \frac{16.3 - \mu}{\sigma}

16.3 - \mu = 1.28\sigma

\mu = 16.3 – 1.28\sigma

From above

\mu = 15.5 + 1.475\sigma

So

15.5 + 1.475\sigma = 16.3 – 1.28\sigma

2.755\sigma = 0.8

\sigma = \frac{0.8}{2.755}

\sigma = 0.29

The mean is

\mu = 15.5 + 1.475\sigma = 15.5 + 1.475*0.29 = 15.93

The mean is 15.93 ounces and the standard deviation is 0.29 ounces.

100 is divisible by which of the following numbers 2,3,4,5,6,9 or 10?
pochemuha
The correct answer is B: 2,4,5, 10

We know that 100 is not divisible by 3 because 100/3 is 33.33 repeating, which is an irrational number.

We also know that 100 is not divisible by 6 because 100/6 is 16.66 repeating which is also an irrational number.

100/2=50 (rational)
100/4=25 (rational)
100/5=20 (rational)
100/10=20 (rational)

Hope this helps!
