Borox is loading a freight elevator with 12 boxes: 4 small, 5 medium, and 3 large. A small box and medium box together weigh 20

pounds; a medium box and a large box together weigh 28 pounds, and a large box with a small box weighs 24 pounds. What is the total weight of the 12 boxes?

Answer:

140 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

let s == small box

m = medium box

= large box

the following 3 equations can be derived from the question

s + m = 20 equation 1

m + l = 28  equation 2

l + s = 24  equation 3

make m the subject of the formula in equation 1 and 2

m = 20 - s  equation 4

m = 28 - l  equation 5

equate equation 4 and 5

20 - s = 28 - l

l - s = 8  equation 6

solve equation 3 and 6 using simultaneous equation

l + s = 24  equation 3

l - s = 8  equation 6

subtract equation 6 from 3

2s = 16

s = 8

substitute for s in equation 1

8 + m = 20

m = 12

substitute for m in equation 2

12 + l = 28

l = 16

total weight = (4 x 8) + (5 x 12) + (16 x 3) = 140 pounds

The distribution of the average amount of sleep per night gotten by college students is roughly bell-shaped with mean 412 minute
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

P(X

P(z

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the scores of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(412,68)  

Where \mu=412 and \sigma=68

We are interested on this probability

P(X

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

P(X

And we can find this probability using the normal standard table or excel and we got:

P(z

kkurt [141]

Answer:

X probability = 0.02

Cumulative frequency at x ( 6 ) = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

X       P ( X )            Cf ( X )

1        0.58                0.58

2        0.18                0.58 + 0.18 = 0.76

3        0.10                0.76 + 0.10 = 0.86

4        0.07                0.86 + 0.07 = 0.93

5        0.05                0.93 + 0.05 = 0.98

6        0.02                0.98 + 0.02 = 1
