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

Which measure of central tendency is MOST EASILY affected by outliers
Serjik [45]
The average can be easily affected by outliers because an outlier can bring the average much higher or lower depending on the value. For example, if this was the data set

0,50,51,52
 the average would be 38.25

But without the 0, the average would be 51.<span />

Determine whether the function f (x) = x + 9x” is even, odd or neither.
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is even because if we put x=1 then we get 10 if we put x=2 then we get 20 and so on. So all these are even numbers.

A tank full of water is leaking at a constant rate for 30 minutes. The equation
ankoles [38]

Answer:  A. There were 500 liters in the tank when the leak started, and it is  decreasing by 9 liters per minute.

Step-by-step explanation:

This equation is in the form; y =mx + c.

<em>c</em> in this equation is the value of y when x is at 0.

<em>c</em> in the above formula is 500 which means that the number of litres (y) at zero minutes(x) is 500 litres.

<em>m</em> is the rate of change as a result of a change in x.

<em>m</em> in this equation is -9 which means that the water is reducing by 9 litres every minute (x).
