Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's just pretend the 6 numbers are: a,b,c,d,e,f.

Then (a+b+c+d+e+f)/6 =4 (given by first statement.)

Let's pretend the average of 2 numbers is 2 means they are talking about the a and b.

So (a+b)/2=2.

Now we want to find (c+d+e+f)/4 as requested by their question.

So first step multiply both sides of our first equation by 6 giving us:

a+b+c+d+e+f=24

So the second step multiply both sides of our second equation by 2 giving us:

a+b=4.

Now if a+b+c+d+e+f=24 and a+b=4, then c+d+e+f=20 since 20+4=24.

So the average of the four numbers c,d,e, and f is 20/4=5.

No, permutation is for finding out orders like how many ways can you arange the letters x,y,z the answer is 6, because xyz, xzy, yxz, yzx, zyx, zxy

permutations are a branch of probability
probability is (desired outcomes)/(total possible outcomes) or

1 5/6 divided by 2 1/8 by writing it out to solve the problem. STEP BY STEP

Artist 52 [7]

1 5/6 divided by 2 1/8
1) you must change the mixed numbers into improper fractions
2) 1 5/6 is 11/6 and 2 1/8 is 17/8
3) then you must change the operation from division to multiplication
4) then you have to find the recipricol of 17/8 (flip it) and it will be 8/17
5) Finally, you multiply and you will get 88/102: 11/6x8/17=88/102 amd yoy can simplify if asked

Slices of pizza for a certain brand of pizza have a mass that is approximately normally distributed with a mean of 67.7 grams an

Alexxx [7]

Answer:

a. s.e. = 0.338

b. The probability of finding a random slice of pizza with a mass of less than 67.2 grams is 0.5871 or 58.71%

c. The probability of finding a 20 random slices of pizza with a mean mass of less than 67.2 grams is 0.0694 or 6.94%

d. The sample mean of 62.75 would represent the 15th percentile

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information provided to us to answer the question properly:

μ of the mass of slices of pizza for a certain brand = 67.7 grams

σ of the mass of slices of pizza for a certain brand = 2.28 grams

2. For samples of size 20 pizza slices, what is the standard deviation for the sampling distribution of the sample mean?

Let's recall that the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the mean is called the standard error of the mean and its formula is:

μσs.e.= √σ/n, where n is the sample size.

s.e. = √2.28/20

s.e. = 0.338

3. What is the probability of finding a random slice of pizza with a mass of less than 67.2 grams?

Let's find the z-score for X = 67.2, this way:

z-score = (X - μ)/σ

z-score = (67.2 - 67.7)/2.28

z-score = 0.5/2.28

z-score = 0.22 (rounding to the next hundredth)

Now, using the z-table, let's find p, the probability:

p (z = 0.22) = 0.5871

The probability of finding a random slice of pizza with a mass of less than 67.2 grams is 58.71%

4. What is the probability of finding a 20 random slices of pizza with a mean mass of less than 67.2 grams?

Let's use the central limit theorem to find the z-score, this way:

z-score = X - μ/s.e

z-score = 67.2 - 67.7/0.338

z-score = -0.5/0.338

z-score = - 1.48

Now, using the z-table, let's find p, the probability:

p (z = -1.48) = 0.0694

5. What sample mean (for a sample of size 20) would represent the bottom 15% (the 15th percentile)?

For p = 0.150, let's find the z-score:

z-score = - 2.17

z-score = X - μ/s.e

- 2.17 = (X - 67.7)/2.28

- 4.95 = X - 67.7

X = 67.7 - 4.95

X = 62.75 (rounding to the next hundredth)

The sample mean of 62.75 would represent the 15th percentile
