Jumbo eggs in Australia, on average, are supposed to weigh 68g. Margot is in charge of a quality control test that involves weig

hing a sample of eggs to see if if the sample mean weight is significantly different than 68g. She takes a random sample of 100 eggs and finds a mean weight of 67g and a sample standard deviation of 1g.

Answer:

0.9987 = 99.87% probability that the mean weight of 4 eggs in a package is less than 68.5g

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we use the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be 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.

Mean weight of 67g and a sample standard deviation of 1g.

This means that \mu = 67, \sigma = 1

Sample of 4

This means that n = 4, s = \frac{1}{\sqrt{4}} = 0.5

What is the probability that the mean weight of 4 eggs in a package is less than 68.5g?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 68.5. So

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

Z = \frac{68.5 - 67}{0.5}

Z = 3

Z = 3 has a pvalue of 0.9987

0.9987 = 99.87% probability that the mean weight of 4 eggs in a package is less than 68.5g

First we must understand how to write a logarithmic function:

log_{b}a=x

In the equation above, b is the base, x is the exponent, and a is the answer. These same variables can be rearranged to be expressed as an exponential equation as followed:

b^x=a

Next, we need to understand basic logarithm rules.

1. When a value is raised to a power, we can move the exponent to the front of the logarithm. Example:

log(a^2) = 2log(a)

2. When two variables are multiplied together, we can add the logarithms of the individual variables together. Example:

log(ab) = log(a) + log(b)

3. When a variable is divided by another variable, we can subtract the logarithms of the individual variables. Example:

log(a/b) = log(a) - log(b)

Now we can use these rules to solve the problem.

log(r)=log( \sqrt[3]{ \frac{A^2B}{C} } )

We can rewrite the cube root as:

log(r) = log( (\frac{A^2B}{C})^ \frac{1}{3} )

Now we can move  the one-third to the front:

log(r) =  \frac{1}{3} log( \frac{A^2B}{C} )

Now we can split up the logarithm:

log(r) =  \frac{1}{3} (log(A^2)+log(B)-log(C))

Finally, we can move the exponent to the front of the log of A:

log(r) = \frac{1}{3} (2log(A)+log(B)-log(C))

Distribute the one-third to get the answer:

log(r) = \frac{2}{3} log(A) +  \frac{1}{3} log(B) -  \frac{1}{3} log(C)

The answer is (4).

¿ cuál será el volumen de una pirámide hexagonal si las aristas de la base miden 8cm, la apotema vale9.93cm y su altura es de 28
dem82 [27]

Answer:

2224.32 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

La fórmula para el volumen de una pirámide hexagonal = 1/3 (1/2 × P × a) × h

Donde a = Apotema = 9,93 cm

P = Perímetro =

Pirámide hexagonal = 6 × Bordes de la base = 6 × 8 cm = 48 cm

h = Altura = 28 cm

Por eso,

Volumen de la pirámide hexagonal = 1/3 (1/2 (48 × 9.93) × 28 cm

= 1/3 × 238.32 × 28 cm

= 2224.32 cm³

Volumen de la pirámide hexagonal = 2224.32 cm³
