Olive weights are classified according to a unique set of adjectives implying great size. For example, the mean weight of olives classified as "Colossal" is 7.7 grams. Suppose a particular company’s crop of "Colossal" olives is approximately Normally distributed with a mean of 7.7 grams and a standard deviation of 0.2 grams. Which of the following represents the probability that the mean weight of a random sample of 3 olives from this population is greater than 8 grams?

a. 0.0970
b. 0.9953
c. 0.0668
d. 0.0047
e. 0.1932

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

d. 0.0047

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore 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 pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

Population:

We have that [tex]\mu = 7.7, \sigma = 0.2[/tex]

Sample of 3:

[tex]n = 3, s = \frac{0.2}{\sqrt{3}} = 0.1155[/tex]

Which of the following represents the probability that the mean weight of a random sample of 3 olives from this population is greater than 8 grams?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 8. So

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

[tex]Z = \frac{8 - 7.7}{0.1155}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2.6[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2.6[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.9953

1 - 0.9953 = 0.0047

The probability is given by option d.

Answer 2

You can calculate the z score for the specified sample and then use the z tables to find the p value(probability) needed.

The probability that the mean weight of a random sample of 3 olives from this population is greater than 8 grams is given by

Option d : 0.0047

How to find the z score for a sample taken from a normal distribution holding random variate?

Suppose that the sample is of size 'n', then we have the z score(we are converting random variable X to standard random variable Z) as:

[tex]Z = \dfrac{X - \overline{x}}{s} = \dfrac{X - \mu}{\sigma/\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

where [tex]\overline{x}[/tex] is mean of the sample

s is the standard deviation of the sample,

and we used the central limit theorem which says that a sample from a normally distributed population with [tex]mean = \mu[/tex] and standard deviation = [tex]\sigma[/tex] can have its mean approximated by population mean and its standard deviation approximated by [tex]s = \dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

Using the data given to find the intended probability

Let the weight of the the olives for the given crop of olives of a particular company for taken random sample is given by X (a random variable)

Then, we have:

[tex]X \sim N(7.7, 0.2)[/tex]

where

[tex]\mu = 7.7, \sigma = 0.2[/tex]

Thus, we have:

[tex]\overline{x} = \mu, s = \sigma/\sqrt{n} = 0.2/\sqrt{3}[/tex]

Using the given facts, we get the needed probability as:

[tex]P( X> 8)[/tex] sample size n  = 3)

Then, using the z score, we get):

[tex]P(X > 8) = 1 - P(X \leq 8) = 1 - P(Z \leq \dfrac{8 - 7.7}{0.2/\sqrt{3}})\\\\P(X > 8)=1- P(Z \leq \dfrac{0.3\sqrt{3}}{0.2}) = 1- P(Z \leq 1.5 \times \sqrt{3} )\\\\P(X > 8) = 1 - P(Z \leq 2.59) = 1- 0.9952 \approx 0.0047[/tex]

Thus,

The probability that the mean weight of a random sample of 3 olives from this population is greater than 8 grams is given by

Option d : 0.0047

Answer:

Cheryl writes 7 fewer posts than Kevin on a social media site.

Answer the questions to write an algebraic expression. Then evaluate the expression for the given value.

1. Choose a variable to represent the number of posts Kevin writes. Explain why you chose this variable. (2 points)

The expression will be P for "of posts Kevin writes." 

2. Which operation (addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division) applies to this situation? Justify your choice. (2 points)

 The operation I will use is subtraction so P-7.

3. Use your variable and the operation you identified to write an expression for the number of posts Cheryl wrote. (3 points)

Subtraction would be the operation and my expression would be ( P-7 ) which would also be ( 21 - 7 )

4. If Kevin wrote 21 posts, how many did Cheryl write? (3 points)

Cheryl wrote 14 posts, because 21 - 7 = 14

Hope this helps <3

1. We have chosen a variable 'x' to represent the number of posts by Kevin.

2. Subtraction applies to this situation.

3. The number of posts written by Cheryl is (x - 7).

4.  If Kevin wrote 21 posts, Cheryl wrote 14 posts.

What is an equation?

An equation is written in the form of variables and constants separated by the operation of multiplication and division,

An equation states that terms in different forms on both sides of the equality sign are equal.

Multiplication and division do not separate the terms of an equation.

Let, Kevin writes 'x' number of posts,

Therefore, Cheryl writes (x - 7) posts.

We could have chosen any letters for the number of posts Kevin writes,

And as Cheryl writes fewer posts than Keving we subtracted the number.

If Kevin writes 21 posts, 'x' is 21, And hence Cheryl has written,

(21 -7).

= 14 posts.

Armando has 3 blue shirts, 3 green shirts,

and 2 red shirts. He has 3 pairs of jeans

and 4 pairs of cargo pants. He is equally

likely to wear any of the shirts with any

pair of pants. What is the probability that

Armando will wear a green shirt with cargo pants?

Answers

Answer:

0.2143 = 21.43% probability that Armando will wear a green shirt with cargo pants.

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

Probability of independent events:

The probability of two independent events is the multiplication of their separate probabilities.

Green shirt:

3 green shirts, out of 3 + 3 + 2 = 8 shirts.

So 3/8 probability of green shirts.

Cargo pants:

4 cargo pants, our of 4 + 3 = 7.

So 4/7 probability of cargo shirts.

Green shirt and cargo pants:

[tex]p = \frac{3}{8} \times {4}{7} = \frac{12}{56} = \frac{3}{14} = 0.2143[/tex]

0.2143 = 21.43% probability that Armando will wear a green shirt with cargo pants.

y = -8x4
y = - 4x +8
y = -8x4
y = 8x+4

Answers

The other person is wrong, and none of them are correct since the first and third one are the same, it should be -8x+4

The equation y = -8x + 4 represents the given problem.

What is slope and y-intercept?

'The slope of the line is the ratio of the rise to the run, or rise divided by the run. It describes the steepness of line in the coordinate plane.

An intercept is a point on the y-axis, through which the slope of the line passes. It is the y-coordinate of a point where a straight line or a curve intersects the y-axis.'

According to the given problem,

We know,

Equation of a line can be represented as,

y = mx + c, where, m = slope  

                              c = y-intercept                                            

Slope of the line = -8

Y-intercept of the line = 4

Therefore,

The equation of the line:

⇒ y = -8 + 4

Since he has 6 hours remaining and 3 parks to go, he can't spend more than 7 1/2 hours at the park. This means that the answer will have to be less than or equal to.

Answers

Answer:

0.25 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for a linear function is given by:

y = mx + b,

where y and x are variables, m is the rate of change of y with respect to x and b is the initial value of y (value of y when x = 0).

Let x represent the number of hours after 1:00 P.M and let y represent the temperature in degree Fahrenheit.

Let us assume that initial the temperature is 0°F. The temperature changes -4 degrees Fahrenheit per hour. From the equation of a linear function y = mx + b:

m = -4 degrees Fahrenheit per hour, b = 0. Hence:

y = -4x

The time taken to reach -1°F is gotten by substituting y = -1 and finding x:

y = -4x

substituting:

-1 = -4x

x = -1 / -4

x = 0.25 hours

0.25 hours = 0.25 hours * 60 minute / 1 hour = 15 minute

Therefore at 1:15 P.M, the temperature is -1°F
