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

The sum of 4 consecutive odd numbers is 40. What is the 2nd number in this sequence?
Mkey [24]
Try this option (it is not the only way):
1. if to use for consecutive odd numbers: n; n+2; n+4 and n+6), then it is possible to write their sum in equation: n+n+2+n+4+n+6=40.
2. if to solve this equation: n=7 it means that 7 - the 1st number of the given sequence.
Using n=7 the 2d number of this sequence is n+2=9.

answer: 9.

How would I change this to standard form. <br><img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=y%20%3D%20%20%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%20x%20-%201"
Pie

Answer:

x - 2y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in standard form is

Ax + By = C ( A is a positive integer and A, B are integers )

given y = \frac{1}{2} x - 1

multiply through by 2 to eliminate the fraction

2y = x - 2 ( subtract 2y from both sides )

0 = x - 2y - 2 ( add 2 to both sides )

x - 2y = 2 ← in standard form

Two different floor plans are being offered in a new housing development. Several prospective
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

0.912

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>The complete question is attached.</em>

<em />

"OR" in probability means "ADDITION". So we find the individual probabilities and "ADD" them.

P(Plan A) would be the total people for plan A (add up column of Plan A) divided by total number of people [add up all the numbers].

Looking at the table, we have:

P (Plan A) = 38/68

Now,

P(40-49 Group) can be found by adding up the row of 40-49 age group and dividing by the total. So, we have:

P(40 - 49 Group) = 24/68

Now, adding up both:

38/68 + 24/68 = 62/68 = 0.912
