Answer:
- 17,750
- 1737
Step-by-step explanation:
A suitable table or calculator is needed.
One standard deviation from the mean includes 68.27% of the total, so the number of bottles in the range 20 ± 0.16 ounces will be ...
0.6827·26,000 = 17,750 . . . . . within 20 ± 0.16
__
The number below 1.5 standard deviations below the mean is about 6.68%, so for the given sample size is expected to be ...
0.66799·26,000 = 1737 . . . . . below 19.76
_____
<em>Comment on the first number</em>
The "empirical rule" tells you that 68% of the population is within 1 standard deviation (0.16 ounces) of the mean. When the number involved is expected to be expressed to 5 significant digits, your probability value needs better accuracy than that. To 6 digits, the value is 0.682689, which gives the same "rounded to the nearest integer" value as the one shown above.
ANSWER
The correct answer is option B
EXPLANATION
The equations are
and
When we multiply the second equation by , we obtain;
When we combine this new equation with equation (1).
We can see that has been eliminated from the equation.
We can then, solve for and then substitute the result in to any of the equations to find
.
Hence the correct answer is option B
