In a port, the median weight of a container is 4,700 lbs, with a standard deviation of 500 pounds. 14% of the containers weigh m

ore than 5,900 pounds.
Why can't this data be represented by a normal distribution?

Because the containers are too heavy.
Because the standard deviation is too small.
Because the standard deviation is too big.
Because we don't know the number of containers.

A normal distribution is most effective when dealing with a substantial sample size. Without knowing how many containers there are, it's challenging to determine if it’s suitable for modeling the container weights.

Machines at a factory produce circular washers with a specified diameter. The quality control manager at the factory periodicall
zzz [12365]

Answer:

A Type I error could occur if the test shows that the proportion is above 90%, while in reality, the actual proportion is 90%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Machines in a factory produce circular washers that meet a specific diameter.

The quality control manager routinely assesses samples of washers to ensure that more than 90% conform to the specified diameter.

Let p represent the proportion of washers that meet the specified diameter

Thus, Null hypothesis: p = 90% H_0

Alternative Hypothesis: p > 90%H_A

Here, the null hypothesis posits that the proportion is exactly 90%. In contrast, the alternative hypothesis suggests that the proportion exceeds 90%.

Now, a Type I error indicates the probability of rejecting the null hypothesis while it is actually true or, in simple terms, the likelihood of incorrectly rejecting a valid hypothesis.

Thus, based on our question, a Type I error would declare that the test convincingly indicates the proportion is over 90%, while in truth, it remains 90%.

Jonathan has 3/4 pound of grapes.how many 1/8pound servings can Jonathan make from his grapes
Inessa [12570]

Response:

6 servings.

Detailed explanation:

To determine this, divide 3/4 by 1/8, here are the steps:

3/4 divided by 1/8

3/4 times 8/1

(3 × 8 = 24); (4 × 1 = 4)

24 divided by 4 results in 6.

I hope this assists! If possible, please grant me brainliest, as I need it to level up! Thank you.
