Answer:

4.08%

Step-by-step explanation:

% error = error/actual length × 100

Error = 20.4-19.6

= 0.8

% error = 0.8/19.6 × 100

= 4.08%

The amount of calories consumed by customers at the Chinese buffet is normally distributed with mean 2885 and standard deviation

aliina [53]

Answer:

a. X~N(2,885, 651)

b. 0.086291

c. 0.00058

d. 3213.10 calories

Step-by-step explanation:

a. -A normal distribution is expressed in the form X~N(mean, standard deviation).

-Let X a random variable denoting the number of calories consumed.

-X is a is a normally distributed random variable with mean 2885 and standard deviation 651.

-This distribution is expressed as X~N(2,885, 651)

b. The probability that less than 2000 calories are consumed is calculated using the formula:

$P(X$

#substitute the given values in the formula to solve for P:

$P(X$

Hence, the probability of consuming less than 2000 calories is 0.08691

c. The proportion of customers consuming more than 5000 calories is calculated as:

$P(X>x)=P(z>\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\sigma})\\\\=P(Z>\frac{5000-2885}{651})\\\\=P(z>3.2488)\\\\=1-0.99942\\\\=0.00058$

Hence, the proportion of customers consuming over 5000 calories is 0.00058

d. The least amount of calories to get the award is calculated as:

1% is equivalent to a z value of 0.50399.

-We equate this to the formula to solve for the mean consumption:

$0.01=P(z>\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\sigma})\\\\=P(z>\frac{\bar X-2885}{651})\\\\\1\%=0.50399 \\\\\frac{\bar X-2885}{651}=0.50399 \\\\\bar X=0.50399\times 651+2885\\\\=3213.09$

Hence, the least amount of calories consumed to qualify for the award is 3213.10 calories.

Elizabeth has $10, $5, and $1 bills worth $101. she has five more five dollar bills than ten dollar bills and 4 times more 1 dol

vesna_86 [32]

Let x be number of $10 dollar bills

Let y be number of $5 dollar bills

Let z be number of $1 dollar bills

From the question, we can come up with three equations (so we can find the values of x, y & z) :

10x + 5y + z = 101
y - x = 5
z = 4x

The first equation comes from finding the total money Elizabeth has, which is $101.

The second equation comes from value of y (number of $5 bills) is more than value of x (number of $10 bills) by 5 dollars.

The third equation comes from the value of z (number of $1 bills) being 4 times more than the value of x (number of $10 bills).

Now, we will begin to find the value of x, y & z.

From the first equation,

10x + 5y + z = 101

Substitute the third equation (z = 4x) into z:

10x + 5y + 4x = 101

Simplify this and you get,

14x + 5y = 101

Now, we use the second equation. The second equation is y - x = 5. If we try to make y as the subject, it becomes y = 5 + x.

Now, substitute this into the value of y of the last working we did:

14x + 5(5+x) = 101

Simplify that and it becomes:

x = 4

Then, substitute this value of x into the second and third equations to find y and z.

y - x = 5

y - 4 = 5

y = 9

z = 4x

z = 4(4)

z = 16

Finally, let's check these answers by substituting them into the first equation to try and see if the total value is really $101.

10x + 5y + z = 10(4) + 5(9) + 16

10x + 5y + z = 40 + 45 + 16

10x + 5y + z = 101

Thus, our answers are correct. Elizabeth has FOUR $10 bills, NINE $5 bills and SIXTEEN $1 bills.
