.) Suppose college students produce 650 pounds of solid waste each year, on average. Assume that the distribution of waste per college student is normal with a mean of 650 pounds and a standard deviation of 20 pounds. What is the probability that a randomly selected student produces either less than 620 or more than 700 pounds of solid waste

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

0.073 = 7.3% probability that a randomly selected student produces either less than 620 or more than 700 pounds of solid waste

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

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.

Mean of 650 pounds and a standard deviation of 20 pounds.

This means that [tex]\mu = 650, \sigma = 20[/tex]

What is the probability that a randomly selected student produces either less than 620 or more than 700 pounds of solid waste?

Less than 620:

pvalue of Z when X = 620. So

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{620 - 650}{20}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.5[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.5[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.0668

More than 700:

1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 700. So

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{700 - 650}{20}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2.5[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2.5[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.9938

1 - 0.9938 = 0.0062

Total:

0.0668 + 0.0062 = 0.073

0.073 = 7.3% probability that a randomly selected student produces either less than 620 or more than 700 pounds of solid waste

3/4 divided by 1/4 help can you teach me how to do it to

Answers

Answer:

3/4 divided by 1/4 = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

When we divide two fractions, such as 3/4 ÷ 1/4, we flip the second fraction and then we simply multiply the numerators with each other and the denominator with each other.

We also simplify the answers to fraction problems whenever possible.

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

=(3/4)(4/1)

kcf (keep, change, flip)

so we're keeping 3/4 the same then we're changing it from division to multiplication and fliping 1/4 to 4/1 (as shown above)

3*4=12 and 4*1=4

so our new fraction is 12/4

12/4 is an improper fraction and 12 divided by 4 is 3

good luck :)

6.67 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

since 1 cm is 15 miles we will divide 100 miles by 15 miles

100/15=6.67

now we will take out number and multiply it by the number of cm

6.67 x 1 = 6.67

so on the map they are 6.67 cm apart.

Alfred wants to become a member of an online discussion forum. The website requires him to create a password. The password must consist of 5 characters, of which 3 must be letters and 2 must be digits. The first character of the password must be a letter. Also, repetition of the same letter in the password is not permitted but repetition of digits is permitted. How many possible ways can Alfred create the password?
So I know the answer is 9,360,000 but I got 18,720,000. This is because I thought the partition is 4! / (2! * 1! * 1!) but apparently the partition is 4! / (2! * 2!) and this confuses me. I thought that since the letters can't be repeated, we'd put one unique letter in one group, the other unique letter in the other group, and the two repeated digits in the last group. Can somebody explain this to me?

Answers

Answer:

Alfred can create the password in 9,360,000 possible ways

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the questions;

Password of five characters must contain; three letters and 2 digits

[][][][][]

Now, using the five boxes above which as to be filled with three letters and two digits, such that; The first character of the password must be a letter and  repetition of the same letter in the password is not allowed while repetition of digits is allowed.

Now,

we know that there are 26 alphabets in English language, so the first box can be filled in 26 ways { must be a letter }

next four will be filed with two letters and two digits

so two boxes from the four can be chosen in the following ways;

⇒ ⁴C₂ = 4! / ( 2!(4-2)! = 24 / 4 = 6  { ways }

now for each choice, we can fill the chosen two boxes with letters in;

⇒ 25 × 24 = 600 { ways}

and the next two by digits; ( 0, 1, 2, ..... 9)

⇒ 10 × 10 = 100 { ways }

So in total, the possible number of ways he can create a password is;

⇒ 26 × 6 × 600 × 100

= 9,360,000 possible ways

Therefore, Alfred can create the password in 9,360,000 possible ways

Justine signed up for a gym membership. The gym charges a one-time fee of $59 plus a monthly fee. Justine determines that she will pay a total of $557 for her gym membership after one year. How much does the gym charge per month?

Answers

The answer is 9.44067797

The gym charges $41.5 per month.

What is an expression?

An expression is a number, or a variable, or a combination of numbers and variables and operation symbols.

Now it is given that,

One time fee of gym = $59

Justine will pay after one year = $557

So, gym fees per year = $557 - $59

⇒ gym fees per year = $498

∴ gym fees per month = gym fees per year / 12

⇒ gym fees per month = $498/12

⇒ gym fees per month = $41.50

Thus,the gym charges $41.50 per month.

a fair coin is flipped four times . use a tree diagram to find the probability of observing. exactly two heads . enter youe answer as a percentage to the nearesr percent

Answers

The probability of observing exactly two heads when a fair coin is flipped four times is found to the nearest percent to be 38%.

What is probability?

It is the ratio that shows the likelihood of an event occurring out of all the other possible events.

The tree diagram is drawn. The tree diagram is labeled such that the red lines represent the number of times exactly two heads are observed. The total number of events where exactly two heads are observed = 6The total number of events = 16

∴ P( Getting exactly two heads when a coin is flipped four times) = 6/16 = 0.375

Convert the into percent as follows:

0.375*100 = 37.5%

≈ 38%

Therefore, we have found the probability of observing exactly two heads when the coins are flipped four times to the nearest percent as 38%.
