A cereal manufacture has a machine that files the boxes. Boxes are labeled as 16 ounces, which is the target fill (x). The lawyers want to fill the boxes more to avoid lawsuits regarding under filling and the company president vetoes that plan, saying the company should be giving away less free cereal, not more. Her goal is to set the machine no higher than 16.2 ounces and have only 4% underweight boxes. The only way to accomplish this is to reduce the standard deviation. What standard deviation must the company achieve

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

σ = 0,11

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume the boxes filling process follows a Normal Distribution, then

z(score) = ( X - μ ) /σ     or   z(score) = ( μ - X ) /σ  

depending of the tail of the curve ( as we are evaluating boxes below mean we need to use the second equation )

where   μ  and σ are the mean and the standard deviation of the population

As the goal is to have boxes with no higher than 16,2 ou and only  4% of underweight boxes

4%   is 0,04   that should be the area under the bell shape curve then from z table we find z(s)

z(s) = - 1,75

z(s)  = ( μ - X )/σ

- 1,75 = ( 16,2 - 16 ) / σ

σ = 0,2 / 1,75

σ = 0,11

Brayden and his friends are driving across the US from New York to Los Angeles at a constant speed without stopping. When they have driven for 10 hours, they are 1700 miles away from Los Angeles. When they have driven for 15 hours, they are 1500 miles away from Los Angeles.a) Find a linear function that models the remaining distance, DD, to Los Angeles as a function of the amount of time, t, that Brayden and his friends have been driving.

Answers

Answer:

d=-40t+2100

Step-by-step explanation:

Let d be the distance between New York to Los Angeles and speed of driving is v miles/hour.

As when they have driven for 10 hours, they are 1700 miles away from Los Angeles, so the distance covered in 10 hours is d-1700 miles.

Similarly, the distance covered in 15 hours is d-1500 miles.

So, the distance covered in 5 hours = (d-1500)-(d-1700) =d-1500-d+1700=200 miles.

As speed = distance/time,

So the speed of driving, v=200/5=40 miles/hour

Let d (in miles) be the remaining distance at any time instant t (in hour) and the linear relation between d and t is

d=at+b ...(i)

where a and b are constants.

When they have driven for 10 hours, they are 1700 miles away from Los Angeles, so putting t=10 and d=1700 in the equation (i), we have

1700=10a+b

b=1700-10a...(ii)

Similarly, when they have driven for 15 hours, they are 1500 miles away from Los Angeles, so

1500=15a+b

1500=15a+1700-10a

1500-1700=5a

-200=5a

a= -200/5

a= -40

From equation (ii), we have

b=1700-10(-40)=1700+400=2100

From equation (i), the required equation is

d=-40t+2100

Hence the required linear function is d=-40t+2100.

Those seventy people had a mean time of 24 minutes and 12 seconds with a standard deviation of 3 mins. Find the test statisic and p-value for your experiment.

Answers

Answer:

-2.23 ; 0.012874

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Population mean (μ) = 25 minutes

Same mean (x) = 24min 12 seconds = 24.2 minutes

Standard deviation σ = 3

Sample size (n) = 70

Test statistic :

Using the relation :

Tstatistic = (x - m) / σ/sqrt(n)

Tstatistic = (24.2 - 25) / (3/sqrt(70)

Tstatistic = - 0.8 / 0.3585685

Tstatistic = - 2.2310939

= - 2.23

The P value can be obtained using a. P value Calculator :

P at α = 95% and test statistic = - 2.23

Hence, p = 0.012874 using calculator

The systolic blood pressure (BP) of adults in the USA is nearly normally distributed with a mean of 117 and standard deviation of 17 . Someone qualifies as having Stage 2 high blood pressure if their systolic blood pressure is 160 or higher. (a) Around what percentage of adults in the USA have stage 2 high blood pressure

Answers

Answer:

the percentage of adults have stage 2 high blood pressure is 0.0057

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the percentage of adults have stage 2 high blood pressure is shown below;

Given that

mean = 117

Standard deviation = 17

and, the sample is 160

Now based on the above information,

The percentage is

= (Sample - mean) ÷ (standard deviation)

= (160 - 117) ÷ (17)

= 2.529

p(z>2.53) = 0.0057

hence, the percentage of adults have stage 2 high blood pressure is 0.0057

Concerns about climate change and CO2 reduction have initiated the commercial production of blends of biodiesel (e.g., from renewable sources) and petrodiesel (from fossil fuel). Random samples of 48 blended fuels are tested in a lab to ascertain the bio/total carbon ratio. (a) If the true mean is .9050 with a standard deviation of 0.0100, within what interval will 90 percent of the sample means fall

Answers

Answer:

(0.9036, 0.9064)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

True mean (m) = 0.9050

Standard deviation (s) = 0.0100

Sample size ( n) = 48

Interval for 90% of the sample mean :

Mean ± Error

Error = Zcritical * (standard deviation /sqrt(n))

Zcritical at 90% confidence interval = 1.64

Hence,

Error = 1.64 * (0.0100/sqrt(48)) = 0.0014433

Lower boundary = m - Error = (0.9050 - 0.0014433) = 0.9035567

Upper boundary = m + Error = (0.9050 + 0.0014433) = 0.9064433

The length of a rectangle is 5.9 cm more than 3 times the width. If the perimeter of the rectangle is 57.4cm, what are it's dimensions.

Answers

Answer:

l = 23 cm and w = 5.7 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter = twice the length plus twice the width

let w = width

let l = length

l = 5.9 + 3w

57.4 = 2(5.9 + 3w) + 2w

57.4 = 11.8 + 6w + 2w

57.4 = 11.8 + 8w

45.6 = 8w

w = 5.7

Substitute 5.7 for 'w' to get 'l':

l = 5.9 + 3(5.7)

t, and determine what page Jose and Aubree will be on on the day they are both on the same page.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let J(t) represent Juan's equation and A(t) represent Aubree's equation. If Juan starts this venture on page 5, even if he didn't read any more days at all, when t = 0, he would still have read those 5 pages. Because he reads 14 pages per day, then he reads 14t and t represents the number of days gone by. His equation then is

J(t) = 14t + 5

Likewise, for Aubree, even if she decides not to read any more past the original 25 pages she started with, she would still have read those 25 pages. Her equation then would be

A(t) = 10t + 25

We need to know how many days will go by before they are both on the same page, so set the equations equal to each other and solve for t:

14t + 5 = 10t + 25 and

4t = 20 so

t = 5

After 5 days they will have both read the same number of pages.

At a zoo in a butterfly enclosure, 5 drops of nectar is sufficient for 2 butterflies. How many butterflies could be fed with 59 drops of nectar?

Answers

Answer:

111 can i get brailyist for replying so fast.

Answer:

23

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex] \frac{2}{5} \times \frac{x}{59} [/tex]

the number of drops of nectar goes on the bottom, and the number of butterflies goes on the top

then you cross multiply to get 5x= 118

solve for × and you get 23.6

for this situation, 0.6 of a butterfly doesn't make sense, so we need to round down.

we round down because it's okay if there's extra nectar, but there can't be less than enough.

you can be 23 butterflies with 59 drops of nectar

Answers

Answer:

It would be $ for 2 other planes of glass because if you take 7 divided by 7 to get 1 pane of glass you have to divide 16.45 by 7 to get how much it costs for 1 pane of glass. So for 1 pane of glass, it is $2.35 then lastly you can either add 2.35 and 2.35 to get $4.70 or take 2.35 times 2 to get your total. So it will cost $4.70 to get 2 panes of glass.

Find x?
In 3x - In(x - 4) = ln(2x - 1) +ln3

Answers

Answer:

[tex]x = \displaystyle \frac{5 + \sqrt{17}}{2}[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

Because [tex]3\, x[/tex] is found in the input to a logarithm function in the original equation, it must be true that [tex]3\, x > 0[/tex]. Therefore, [tex]x > 0[/tex].

Similarly, because [tex](x - 4)[/tex] and [tex](2\, x - 1)[/tex] are two other inputs to the logarithm function in the original equation, they should also be positive. Therefore, [tex]x > 4[/tex].

Let [tex]a[/tex] and [tex]b[/tex] represent two positive numbers (that is: [tex]a > 0[/tex] and [tex]b > 0[/tex].) The following are two properties of logarithm:

[tex]\displaystyle \ln (a) + \ln(b) = \ln\left(a \cdot b\right)[/tex].

[tex]\displaystyle \ln (a) - \ln(b) = \ln\left(\frac{a}{b}\right)[/tex].

Apply these two properties to rewrite the original equation.

Left-hand side of this equation:

[tex]\begin{aligned}&\ln(3\, x) - \ln(x - 4)= \ln\left(\frac{3\, x}{x -4}\right)\end{aligned}[/tex]

Right-hand side of this equation:

[tex]\ln(2\, x- 1) + \ln(3) = \ln\left(3 \left(2\, x - 1\right)\right)[/tex].

Equate these two expressions:

[tex]\begin{aligned}\ln\left(\frac{3\, x}{x -4}\right) = \ln(3(2\, x - 1))\end{aligned}[/tex].

The natural logarithm function [tex]\ln[/tex] is one-to-one for all positive inputs. Therefore, for the equality [tex]\begin{aligned}\ln\left(\frac{3\, x}{x -4}\right) = \ln(3(2\, x - 1))\end{aligned}[/tex] to hold, the two inputs to the logarithm function have to be equal and positive. That is:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{3\ x}{x - 4} = 3\, (2\, x - 1)[/tex].

Simplify and solve this equation for [tex]x[/tex]:

[tex]x^2 - 5\, x + 2 = 0[/tex].

There are two real (but not rational) solutions to this quadratic equation: [tex]\displaystyle \frac{5 + \sqrt{17}}{2}[/tex] and [tex]\displaystyle \frac{5 - \sqrt{17}}{2}[/tex].

However, the second solution, [tex]\displaystyle \frac{5 - \sqrt{17}}{2}[/tex], is not suitable. The reason is that if [tex]x = \displaystyle \frac{5 - \sqrt{17}}{2}[/tex], then [tex](x - 4)[/tex], one of the inputs to the logarithm function in the original equation, would be smaller than zero. That is not acceptable because the inputs to logarithm functions should be greater than zero.

The only solution that satisfies the requirements would be [tex]\displaystyle \frac{5 + \sqrt{17}}{2}[/tex].

Therefore, [tex]x = \displaystyle \frac{5 + \sqrt{17}}{2}[/tex].

what's the rate of change and is it a linear function​

Answers

Answer:

The rate of change is -4.5 and the relation of the table is a linear function

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear function.

A linear function can be identified because the rate of change is constant at every point of its domain.

The graph of a linear function is a straight line with a constant slope.

Suppose we know the line passes through points A(x1,y1) and B(x2,y2). The slope can be calculated with the equation:

[tex]\displaystyle m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

We'll show the relation shown in the table is a linear function. We'll calculate the slope for any random pair of points. For example, using (2,83) and (3,78.5):

[tex]\displaystyle m=\frac{78.5-83}{3-2}=-4.5[/tex]

Now for (7,60.5) and (14,29):

[tex]\displaystyle m=\frac{29-60.5}{14-7}=\frac{-31.5}{7}=-4.5[/tex]

Proceeding in a similar way with any pair of points, the slope will always result in the same value, thus the rate of change is -4.5 and the relation of the table is a linear function.
