A snack company makes packages of grapes and honeydew slices. The weight of an individual package of
grapes, G, is approximately Normally distributed with a mean of 3.25 ounces and a standard deviation of 0.91
ounces. The weight of an individual package of honeydew slices, H, is approximately Normally distributed with a
mean of 4.51 ounces and a standard deviation of 2.02 ounces. Assume G and H are independent random
variables. Let D=G-H. What is the probability that a randomly selected package of grapes weighs more than a
randomly selected package of honeydew slices?
O 0.127
O 0.230
0.284
0.334

Answers

Answer 1

Using the normal distribution, it is found that there is a 0.284 = 28.4% probability that a randomly selected package of grapes weighs more than a  randomly selected package of honeydew slices.

In a normal distribution 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]

It 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, which is the percentile of X. When two normal variables are subtracted, the mean is the subtraction of the means, while the standard deviation is the square root of the sum of the variances.

In this problem, for each variable, [tex]\mu_G = 3.25, \sigma_G = 0.91, \mu_H = 4.51, \sigma_H = 2.02[/tex]

For the subtraction, we have that:

[tex]\mu_D = \mu_G - \mu_H = 3.25 - 4.51 = -1.26[/tex]

[tex]\sigma_D = \sqrt{\sigma_G^2 + \sigma_H^2} = \sqrt{0.91^2 + 2.02^2} = 2.2155[/tex]

The probability that a randomly selected package of grapes weighs more than a  randomly selected package of honeydew slices is P(D > 0), which is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 0.

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

[tex]Z = \frac{0 - (-1.26)}{2.2155}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.57[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.57[/tex] has a p-value of 0.7157.

1 - 0.715 = 0.284

0.284 = 28.4% probability that a randomly selected package of grapes weighs more than a  randomly selected package of honeydew slices.

If z varies directly as x and inversely as y and is equal to 4 when x and y have the values 12 and 8 respectively, what is the value of z when x is equal to 6/7 and y is equal to 5/28?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]z = \frac{2}{7} [/tex] when x= [tex] \frac{6}{7} [/tex],

z= 179.2 when y= [tex] \frac{5}{28} [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start by writing out the two general equations for z.

Since z varies directly with x,

z= kx, where k is a constant.

Since z varies inversely with y,

[tex]z = \frac{k}{y} [/tex], where k is a constant.

When x= 12, z= 4,

4= k(12)

12k= 4

k= 4 ÷12

k= ⅓

∴ z= ⅓x

When x=[tex] \frac{6}{7} [/tex],

[tex]z = \frac{1}{3} ( \frac{6}{7} )[/tex]

[tex]z = \frac{2}{7} [/tex]

When y= 8, z= 4,

[tex]4 = \frac{k}{8} [/tex]

k= 4(8)

k= 32

[tex]∴z = \frac{32}{y} [/tex]

When y= [tex] \frac{5}{28} [/tex],

[tex]z = 32 \div \frac{5}{28} [/tex]

[tex]z = 32 \times \frac{28}{5} [/tex]

z= 179.2

A desk is on sale for 15% off. The sale price is $612.

Answers

Answer:

$720

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Set up the expression.

[tex]\frac{612}{1-0.15}[/tex]

Step 2: Simplify.

[tex]\frac{612}{0.85}[/tex]

Step 3: Convert 0.85 into a fraction.

[tex]612/ \frac{85}{100}[/tex] [tex]612/ \frac{17}{20}[/tex]

Step 4: Multiply 612 by reciprocal of 17/20.

[tex]612 * \frac{20}{17}[/tex] [tex]36 * 20[/tex] [tex]720[/tex]

Therefore, the regular price was $720.
