Let the number of half dollars be x,

number of quarters = x + 2
amount of half dollars = 0.5x
amount of quarters = 0.25(x + 2)
= 0.25x + 0.5
total amount = 0.5x + 0.25x + 0.5
= 0.75x + 0.5
0.75x + 0.5 = 11.75
0.75x = 11.25
x = 15
number of quarters = x + 2
= 15 + 2
= 17

There are 17 quarters and 15 half dollars.

The amount of potato chips an 18-ounce bag contains follows a normal distribution with a mean of 18.5 ounces and a standard devi
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

100% probability that the sample mean weight of these 100 bags is less than 18.6 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution

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.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

In this question, we have that:

\mu = 18.5, \sigma = 0.2, n = 100, s = \frac{0.2}{\sqrt{100}} = 0.02

What is the probability that the sample mean weight of these 100 bags is less than 18.6 ounces

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 18.6. So

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

Z = \frac{18.6 - 18.5}{0.02}

Z = 5 has a pvalue of 1

100% probability that the sample mean weight of these 100 bags is less than 18.6 ounces
