Answer: $18.45\ kg$ or $18\frac{9}{20}\ kg$

Step-by-step explanation:

We can convert from mixed numbers to decimal numbers:

$11\frac{1}{2}\ kg=(11+0.5)\ kg=11.5\ kg\\\\1\frac{1}{4}\ kg=(1+0.25)\ kg=1.25\ kg$

Since they cleaned up 8.2 kilograms of trash in one neighborhood and 11.5 kilograms in another neighborhood, the total trash they cleaned up was:

$Total=8.2\ kg+11.5\ kg\\\\Total=19.7\ kg$

We know that they sent 1.25 kilograms to be recycled. Then, in order to calculate how many kilograms of trash they threw away, we must subtract the total kilograms of trash they cleaned up and the kilograms they sent to be recycled.

Then:

$19.7\ kg-1.25\ kg=18.45\ kg$ or $18\frac{9}{20}\ kg$

One measure of an athlete’s ability is the height of his or her vertical leap. Many professional basketball players are known fo

Answer:

(1) P( $\bar X$ < 26 inches) = 0.0436

(2) P(27.5 inches < $\bar X$ < 28.5 inches) = 0.2812

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the mean vertical leap of all NBA players is 28 inches. Suppose the standard deviation is 7 inches and 36 NBA players are selected at random.

Firstly, Let $\bar X$ = mean vertical leap for the 36 players

Assuming the data follows normal distribution; so the z score probability distribution for sample mean is given by;

Z = $\frac{\bar X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\mu$ = population mean vertical leap = 28 inches

$\sigma$ = standard deviation = 7 inches

n = sample of NBA player = 36

(1) Probability that the mean vertical leap for the 36 players will be less than 26 inches is given by = P( $\bar X$ < 26 inches)

P( $\bar X$ < 26) = P( $\frac{\bar X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ < $\frac{26-28}{\frac{7}{\sqrt{36} } }$ ) = P(Z < -1.71) = 1 - P(Z $\leq$ 1.71)

= 1 - 0.95637 = 0.0436

(2) <em>Now, here sample of NBA players is 26 so n = 26.</em>

Probability that the mean vertical leap for the 26 players will be between 27.5 and 28.5 inches is given by = P(27.5 inches < $\bar X$ < 28.5 inches) = P( $\bar X$ < 28.5 inches) - P( $\bar X$ $\leq$ 27.5 inches)

P( $\bar X$ < 28.5) = P( $\frac{\bar X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ < $\frac{28.5-28}{\frac{7}{\sqrt{26} } }$ ) = P(Z < 0.36) = 0.64058 {using z table}

P( $\bar X$ $\leq$ 27.5) = P( $\frac{\bar X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ $\leq$ $\frac{27.5-28}{\frac{7}{\sqrt{26} } }$ ) = P(Z $\leq$ -0.36) = 1 - P(Z < 0.36)

= 1 - 0.64058 = 0.35942

Therefore, P(27.5 inches < $\bar X$ < 28.5 inches) = 0.64058 - 0.35942 = 0.2812

olga55 [171]

Answer:

Check the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

US has a comparative advantage in producing rice.

This means US's opportunity cost of producing rice is less than that of Korea.

Korea's opportunity cost of producing rice will be given as:

For producing 9 units of Rice, Korea gives up 5 cars.

For producing 1 unit of rice's, Korea will give up 5/9 units of car.
