An engineer is building a bridge that should be able to hold a maximum weight of 1 ton. He builds a model of the bridge that is

exactly 4 times smaller than the actual bridge. 16 ounces = 1 pound. 2,000 pounds = 1 ton. If a test of the model shows that it holds 8,000 ounces, will the bridge hold 1 ton?
fill in thw blanks please extra points:)​

Answer:

First blank- 32000 ounces

Second blank- 2000 pounds

Yes the bridge can hold 1 ton.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the scale of the model to the real bridge = 1:4

The test model shows the model can take 8000 ounces

The real bridge will therefore take 8000 x 4 = 32000 ounces

16 ounces = 1 pound

32000 ounces =  x pounds

==>  = 32000/16 = 2000 pounds

2000 pounds = 1 ton

therefore the bridge holds 1 ton

Why might the mean of a probability distribution for a discrete random variable be less than (or greater than) the average of po
user100 [1]

The Normal probability distribution function is left-skewed, right-skewed, or symmetric depending on the values of the variance and the standard deviation might the mean of a probability distribution for a discrete random variable be less than (or greater than) the average of possible values.

A probability distribution is a mathematical function that describes the probabilities of different possible values ​​of a variable. Probability distributions are often represented using graphs or probability tables.

Probability distributions are called discrete probability distributions, and the set of outcomes is inherently discrete. For example, if you roll a die, all possible outcomes are discrete and you get a large number of outcomes. Also called probability mass function.
