Answer:

She will have 2 inches of thread left.

Step-by-step explanation:

Linda uses thread to sew the booklets together, she cuts 6 inches of thread for each booklet.

When she has 50 inches of thread, she will sew $\frac{50}{6}= 8.33$ rounding to 8 booklets.

That means she will use $8\times6=48$ inches of thread.

And she will have left $50-48=2$ inches of thread left.

Yes, she will have 2 inches of thread left.

The sum of two terms of gp is 6 and that of first four terms is 15/2.Find the sum of first six terms.

Gnoma [55]

Given:

The sum of two terms of GP is 6 and that of first four terms is $\dfrac{15}{2}.$

To find:

The sum of first six terms.

Solution:

We have,

$S_2=6$

$S_4=\dfrac{15}{2}$

Sum of first n terms of a GP is

$S_n=\dfrac{a(1-r^n)}{1-r}$ ...(i)

Putting n=2, we get

$S_2=\dfrac{a(1-r^2)}{1-r}$

$6=\dfrac{a(1-r)(1+r)}{1-r}$

$6=a(1+r)$ ...(ii)

Putting n=4, we get

$S_4=\dfrac{a(1-r^4)}{1-r}$

$\dfrac{15}{2}=\dfrac{a(1-r^2)(1+r^2)}{1-r}$

$\dfrac{15}{2}=\dfrac{a(1+r)(1-r)(1+r^2)}{1-r}$

$\dfrac{15}{2}=6(1+r^2)$ (Using (ii))

Divide both sides by 6.

$\dfrac{15}{12}=(1+r^2)$

$\dfrac{5}{4}-1=r^2$

$\dfrac{5-4}{4}=r^2$

$\dfrac{1}{4}=r^2$

Taking square root on both sides, we get

$\pm \sqrt{\dfrac{1}{4}}=r$

$\pm \dfrac{1}{2}=r$

$\pm 0.5=r$

Case 1: If r is positive, then using (ii) we get

$6=a(1+0.5)$

$6=a(1.5)$

$\dfrac{6}{1.5}=a$

$4=a$

The sum of first 6 terms is

$S_6=\dfrac{4(1-(0.5)^6)}{(1-0.5)}$

$S_6=\dfrac{4(1-0.015625)}{0.5}$

$S_6=8(0.984375)$

$S_6=7.875$

Case 2: If r is negative, then using (ii) we get

$6=a(1-0.5)$

$6=a(0.5)$

$\dfrac{6}{0.5}=a$

$12=a$

The sum of first 6 terms is

$S_6=\dfrac{12(1-(-0.5)^6)}{(1+0.5)}$

$S_6=\dfrac{12(1-0.015625)}{1.5}$

$S_6=8(0.984375)$

$S_6=7.875$

Therefore, the sum of the first six terms is 7.875.

Intravenous fluid bags are filled by an automated filling machine. Assume that the fill volumes of the bags are independent, nor

kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

a) 0.0167

b) 0

c) 5.948

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 6.16 ounces

Standard Deviation, σ = 0.08 ounces

We are given that the distribution of fill volumes of bags is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

$z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

a) Standard deviation of 23 bags

$\displaystyle\frac{S.D}{\sqrt{23}} = \frac{0.08}{\sqrt{23}} = 0.0167$

b) P( fill volume of 23 bags is below 5.95 ounces)

P(x < 5.95)

$P( x < 5.96) = P( z < \displaystyle\frac{5.95 - 6.16}{0.0167}) = P(z < -12.57)$

$= 1 - P(z < 12.57)$

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,

$P(x < 5.95) = 1 - 1 = 0$

c) P( fill volume of 23 bags is below 6 ounces) = 0.001

P(x < 6) = 0.001

$P( x < 6) = P( z < \displaystyle\frac{6 - \mu}{0.0167})$

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,

$P( z \leq -3.09) = 0.001$

$\displaystyle\frac{6 - \mu}{0.0167} = -3.09\\\\\mu = 6 + (0.0167\times -3.09) = 5.948$

If the mean will be 5.948 then the probability that the average of 23 bags is below 6.1 ounces is 0.001.
