Answer:
y = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
y varies inversely with x setup is:
y = k/x
7 = (find 'k')
k = 7/1 · 2/3
k = 14/3
use what you know about 'k' and 'x' to solve for 'y'
y = 14/3 ÷ 7/3 (remember to multiply by the reciprocal when dividing fractions)
y = 14/3 · 3/7
y = 2
Answer:
0.1894 = 18.94% probability that there will be fewer than 69 broken pretzels in a run.
Step-by-step explanation:
Normal Probability Distribution:
Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean and standard deviation
, the z-score of a measure X is given by:
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 p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
A pretzel company calculated that there is a mean of 73.5 broken pretzels in each production run with a standard deviation of 5.1.
This means that
Find the probability that there will be fewer than 69 broken pretzels in a run.
This is the p-value of Z when X = 69.
has a p-value of 0.1894
0.1894 = 18.94% probability that there will be fewer than 69 broken pretzels in a run.
