Burger Queen a popular fast food restaurant among college students has undertaken a study to determine the weights of the hamburgers served in its new location in San Marcos, TX. Half pounders should weigh at least 8 ounces. The weight is assumed to be normally distributed. A sample of 500 hamburgers reveals the average precooked weight to be 8.02 ounces, with a standard deviation of .4 ounce.
1. What is the probability that a hamburger selected at random will weigh between 7.76 and 8.02 ounces?
2. What is the probability that a hamburger selected at random with less than 7.52 ounces?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1. 0.2422 = 24.22% probability that a hamburger selected at random will weigh between 7.76 and 8.02 ounces

2. 0.1056 = 10.56% probability that a hamburger selected at random with less than 7.52 ounces.

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 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.

A sample of 500 hamburgers reveals the average precooked weight to be 8.02 ounces, with a standard deviation of .4 ounce.

This means that [tex]\mu = 8.02, \sigma = 0.4[/tex]

1. What is the probability that a hamburger selected at random will weigh between 7.76 and 8.02 ounces?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 8.02 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 7.76. So

X = 8.02

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

[tex]Z = \frac{8.02 - 8.02}{0.4}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.5

X = 7.76

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

[tex]Z = \frac{7.76 - 8.02}{0.4}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.65[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.65[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.2578

0.5 - 0.2578 = 0.2422

0.2422 = 24.22% probability that a hamburger selected at random will weigh between 7.76 and 8.02 ounces.

2. What is the probability that a hamburger selected at random with less than 7.52 ounces?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 7.52. So

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

[tex]Z = \frac{7.52 - 8.02}{0.4}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.25[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.25[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.1056

0.1056 = 10.56% probability that a hamburger selected at random with less than 7.52 ounces.

The price of an item has been reduced by 40%. The original price was $35. What is the price of the item now? ​

Answers

Answer:

$21 is the correct answer

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First we have to find 1 percent of 35, and then we will multiply it by 40. So: 35/100 = 0.35

0.35 (40) = 14

35 - 14 = 21

So, the discounted price is now $21.

Naval intelligence reports that 5 enemy vessels in a fleet of 18 are carrying nuclear weapons. If 9 vessels are randomly targeted and destroyed, what is the probability that no more than 1 vessel transporting nuclear weapons was destroyed

Answers

Answer:

0.1471 = 14.71% probability that no more than 1 vessel transporting nuclear weapons was destroyed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Vessels are chosen without replacement, which means that we use the hypergeometric distribution to solve this question.

Hypergeometric distribution:

The probability of x sucesses is given by the following formula:

[tex]P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}[/tex]

In which:

x is the number of sucesses.

N is the size of the population.

n is the size of the sample.

k is the total number of desired outcomes.

Combinations formula:

[tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

Naval intelligence reports that 5 enemy vessels in a fleet of 18 are carrying nuclear weapons.

This means, respectively, that [tex]k = 5, N = 18[/tex].

9 vessels are randomly targeted and destroyed

This means that [tex]n = 9[/tex]

What is the probability that no more than 1 vessel transporting nuclear weapons was destroyed?

This is:

[tex]P(X \leq 1) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)[/tex]

In which

[tex]P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = h(0,18,9,5) = \frac{C_{5,0}*C_{13,9}}{C_{18,9}} = 0.0147[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 1) = h(1,18,9,5) = \frac{C_{5,1}*C_{13,8}}{C_{18,9}} = 0.1324[/tex]

[tex]P(X \leq 1) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.0147 + 0.1324 = 0.1471[/tex]

0.1471 = 14.71% probability that no more than 1 vessel transporting nuclear weapons was destroyed.

What is the center and radius of the circle with the given equation x^2 + y^2 + 14x - 12y +69 = 0

Answers

Answer:

Center is (7,-6)

Our radius is 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract 69 to both sides

Complete the square of the x terms and y terms.

[tex] {x}^{2} + 14x[/tex]

[tex] {y}^{2} - 12y[/tex]

(To complete the square divide the coefficient by 2 and square it).

[tex] (\frac{14}{2} ) {}^{2} = 49[/tex]

[tex]( \frac{ - 12}{2} ) {}^{2} = 36[/tex]

Add those terms to the full equation. Add 36 and 49 to the right side as well

[tex] {x}^{2} + 14x + 49 + {y}^{2} - 12y + 36 = 16[/tex]

Simplify the x and y terms into a binomial.

[tex](x + 7) {}^{2} + (y - 6) {}^{2} = 16[/tex]

Set the left side equal to zero separately to find the center and take the square root of the right side to find the radius.

[tex]x + 7 = 0[/tex]

[tex]x = - 7[/tex]

[tex]y - 6 = 0[/tex]

[tex]y = 6[/tex]

[tex]16 = {x}^{2} [/tex]

[tex]4 = x[/tex]

So our center is (-7,6)

Our radius is 4.

What is a proportion?

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

The relations between variables, either direct or inversely proportional, can be built to find the desired measures in the problem.

Given that a grocery store receives a shipment of 700 oranges the manager randomly selects 25 oranges to weigh in that sample 2 oranges weigh 5 ounces.

Now set up a proportion;

2/25 = (x)700

Cross multiplication;

700(2)= 25(x)

1400/25=x

x=56

Therefore, the number of oranges in the shipment can the manager predicts weighing 5 ounces would be; 56.

Answers

Answer:

26°

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that your figure is a triangle, we should keep in mind that all the interior angles of a triangle add up to 180°, always.

So, we have the values of angles x and y as 90° and 64°.

90 + 64 = 154°  ⇒ Add them up.

Now, subtract 154 from 180 to get ∠z.
