A box of oatmeal must contain 16 oz. The machine that fills the oatmeal boxes is set so that, on the average, a box contains 16.
5 oz. The boxes filled by the machine have weights that can be closely approximated by a normal curve. What fraction of the boxes filled by the machine are underweight if the standard deviation is as follows? 29. 0.5 oz 30. 0.3 oz 31. 0.2 oz 32. 0
1 answer:
Answer:
29. 15.87%
30. 4.75%
31. 0.62%
32. probability cannot be calculated (0%)
Step-by-step explanation:
We have that the formula of the normal distribution is:
z = (x - m) / sd
where x is the value we are going to evaluate, m is the mean and sd is the standard deviation
x = 16 and m = 16.5
when sd = 0.5
z = (16 - 16.5) /0.5
z = -1
Now when looking in the z table, we have that the corresponding value is 0.1587, that is, the probability is 15.87%
when sd = 0.3
z = (16 - 16.5) /0.3
z = -1.67
Now when looking in the z table, we have that the corresponding value is 0.0475, that is, the probability is 4.75%
when sd = 0.2
z = (16 - 16.5) /0.2
z = -2.5
Now when looking in the z table, we have that the corresponding value is 0.0062, that is, the probability is 0.62%
when sd = 0
z = (16 - 16.5) / 0
z = infinity
probability cannot be calculated

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
To plot the line through the point, plot the point. Then find another point that has the given "rise" and "run". Draw the line through the two points.
__
The given point is (-7, -4). Locate that on the graph.
The slope is given as -2/3. This is the ratio of "rise" to "run", so it means the "rise" will be -2 for each "run" of 3. (rise/run = -2/3)
The rise is the vertical change. So, you want your second point to be 2 units below the given point. Its y-coordinate will be -4-2 = -6.
The run is the horizontal change. Your second point will be 3 units to the right of the given point, so its x-coordinate will be -7+3 = -4. Now, you can plot the point (-4, -6) and draw your graph through these two points.
