Weights of the vegetables in a field are normally distributed. From a sample Carl Cornfield determines the mean weight of a box

pantera1 [17]

To find the z-score for a weight of 196 oz., use

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{196-180}{8}=\frac{16}{8}=2$

A table for the cumulative distribution function for the normal distribution (see picture) gives the area 0.9772 BELOW the z-score z = 2. Carl is wondering about the percentage of boxes with weights ABOVE z = 2. The total area under the normal curve is 1, so subtract .9772 from 1.0000.

1.0000 - .9772 = 0.0228, so about 2.3% of the boxes will weigh more than 196 oz.

Josh buys cucumbers that cost $0.62 per pound.He pays $2.79 for the cucumbers.

Sphinxa [80]

Please refer to the other post you saw.

Josh's estimate IS reasonable because when you have a number 5 or above after the decimal, you round up. Although it's reasonable to round up to 5 pounds, the actual amount is 4.5 pounds, or four and a half.

How many 7 digit phone numbers are there assuming the first digit can't be a 0 or a 1?

Anettt [7]

The first digit can be any one of the numbers 2-9 That a total of 8 numbers.

The next 6 digits can be any permutation of 6 from the numbers 0 to 9.
(10 numbers)

nPr = n! / r!

so here we have 10P6 = 10! / 6! = 10*9*8*7 = 5040

So final answer is 8 * 5040 = 40,320

Solve for c of the right triangle

Ede4ka [16]

In order to solve this triangle we must use cosine law:
$c^{2} = a^{2} + b^{2} - 2ab*cosC$

Now let's plug in the values we are given:
$c^{2} = 5^{2} + 8^{2} - 2(5)(8) * cos 67$
$c^{2} = 25 + 64 - 80*cos67$
$c = \sqrt{80-cos67}$
