A large tank of fish from a hatchery is being delivered to a lake. The hatchery claims that the mean length of fish in the tank is 15 inches, and the standard deviation is 3 inches. A random sample of 41 fish is taken from the tank. Let x be the mean sample length of these fish. What is the probability that x is within 0.5 inch of the claimed population mean? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

0.5160

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that the length of fishes in the tank is normally distributed. Thus, x is the random variable representing the length of fishes in the tank. Since the population mean and population standard deviation are known, we would apply the formula,

z = (x - µ)/(σ/√n)

Where

x = sample mean

µ = population mean

σ = standard deviation

number of samples

From the information given,

µ = 15

σ = 4

n = 31

We want to find the probability that x is between (15 - 0.5) inches and (15 + 0.5) inches. The probability is expressed as

P(14.5 ≤ x ≤ 15.5)

For x = 14.5

z = (14.5 - 15)/(4/√31) = - 0.7

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.2420

For x = 15.5

z = (15.5 - 15)/(4/√31) = 0.7

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.7580

Therefore,

P(14.5 ≤ x ≤ 15.5) = 0.7580 - 0.2420 = 0.5160

how many cubes each of 2 cm length can be kept inside of a cube of 6 CM length​

Answers

Answer:

Hence 27 cubes can be obtained.

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume occupied by one cube of side 2cm = 2*2*2 = 8cm^3

Volume of cube of side 6cm = 216cm^3

Number of cubes of side 2cm which would fit in a cube of side 6cm = 216/8 = 27 cubes

Yao bought 3 feet of blue ribbon and
24 inches of red ribbon. The ribbon costs
$2.00 per foot. What is the total cost of
the ribbon?

Answers

Answer:

It would've costed $8 to buy these ribbons.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

3 feet of blue ribbon = 36 inches of blue ribbons2 feet of red ribbon = 24 inches of red ribbons\1 foot of ribbon = $2

(3 + 2) x 2 = Total cost

–2b − 9 = –b

Answers

Answer:

b= -3

b=3/2=1.500

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1 . b • (2b + 3) -  9  = 0

Step-2 : Find two factors of  -18  whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is   3 .

     -18    +    1    =    -17  

     -9    +    2    =    -7  

     -6    +    3    =    -3  

     -3    +    6    =    3

Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above,  -3  and  6  

                    2b2 - 3b + 6b - 9

Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :

                   b • (2b-3)

             Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :

                   3 • (2b-3)

Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :

                   (b+3)  •  (2b-3)

Which pairs of figures are congruent? Which pairs are similar?


Answers

Answer: Look at the explanation

Step-by-step explanation: To understand what figures are congruent and what figures are similar, you need to understand what the terms mean.

Congruent figures have the same shape and size.

Similar figures have the same shape but different size.

The 1st figure is not congruent but it is similar.

2nd figure is congruent and similar which are rectangles. Wheather the figure is rotated or reflected, it is still congruent and similar.

3rd figure is both, congruent and similar which are both triangles.

4th figure is neither. There is a circle and an elipse, which are both round but different shapes.

By knowing the terms congruent and similar, you should have no problem in identifying geometric shapes and sizes.

Write the equation through (2,5) parallel to the line through (8,0) and (0,8)

Answers

Answer:

y = -x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

As we move from (8, 0) to (0, 8), we see x decreasing by 8 ('rise') and y increasing by 8 ('run').  Thus, the slope of this line is m = rise/run = 8/(-8) = -1.

Starting from y = mx + b and substituting 8 for x, 0 for y and -1 for m, we get:

0 = -1(8) + b, or b = 8

Then the equation of the line through the two given points is y = -x + 8.  Any line parallel to this one has the same slope:  m = -1.

Repeat the above work to find the y-intercept of the line parallel to y = -x + 8  that goes through (2, 5):

5 = -2 + b, or b = 7

Then the desired line (final answer) is y = -x + 7
