A grocery store receives deliveries of corn from two farms, one in Iowa and the other in Ohio. Both farms produce ears of corn w

ith mean weight 1.26 pounds. The standard deviation of the weights of the ears of corn from the farm in Ohio is 0.01 pound greater than that from the farm in Iowa. A randomly selected ear of corn from the farm in Iowa weighed 1.39 pounds, which has a standardized score of 1.645 for the distribution of weights for the Iowa corn. If an ear of corn from the farm in Ohio weighs 1.39 pounds, how many standard deviations from the mean is the weight with respect to the Ohio distribution

Answer:

The number of standard deviations above the mean is z_o   = 1.4607

Step-by-step explanation:

The question indicates that:

   The average weight of the corn ears from each farm is \mu=1.26

   The standard deviation for the corn ears from Iowa is \sigma_1

   The standard deviation for the corn ears from Ohio is

     \sigma_2= 0.01 + \sigma_1

     

  A randomly chosen ear of corn from Iowa weighs  x =  1.39 pounds

  The standardized score is  z = 1.645

  The weight of a randomly chosen ear of corn from Ohio measures  x_1 =  1.39\ pound

In general, the standardized score of corn weight from Iowa can be mathematically defined as:

        z  =  \frac{ 1.39 -  1.26 }{\sigma_1 }

=>     1.645 =  \frac{ 1.39 -  1.26 }{\sigma_1 }  

=>      \sigma_1 =  \frac{ 1.39 -  1.26 }{ 1.64 5}  

=>      \sigma_1  =   0.0790  

Conversely, the standardized score of corn weight from Ohio is expressed as:

         z_o  =  \frac{ 1.39 -  1.26 }{\sigma_2 }

=>     z_o=  \frac{ 1.39 -  1.26 }{0.01 + \sigma_1 }  

=>      z_o =  \frac{ 1.39 -  1.26 }{  0.089}  

=>      z_o   = 1.4607

A positive value indicates this quantity represents the number of standard deviations above the mean.

A manufacturer of skis offered chain discounts of 10/5/4 to many of its customers. Joe Jones ordered skis that had a total list
lawyer [12517]
,To determine the trade discount amount, you can use the following steps:

I: $149,500 *.10 (10%) = 14,950 (this represents the 10% discount)
149,500 - 14,950 = 134,550 (the total cost after applying the 10% discount)

II: 134,550 *.5 (5%) = 6727.50
134,550 - 6727.50 = 127,822.50

III: 127,822.50 *.4 (4%) = 5112.90

Therefore, the total trade discount is: $14,950 + $6727.50 + $5112.90 = 26,790.40 dollars.

Answer:

Answer and Explanation:

We have:

Population mean,

μ

=

3

,

000

hours

Population standard deviation,

σ

=

696

hours

Sample size,

n

=

1) The standard deviation for the sampling distribution:

σ

x

=

σ

√

n

=

696

√

=

116

2) By the central limit theorem, the sampling distribution's expected value matches the population mean.

Thus:

The expected value of the sampling distribution equals the population mean,

The standard deviation of the sampling distribution,

σ

x

=

116

The sampling distribution of

The name of the lesson is "Using Trigonometric Laws" The two non-parallel sides of an isosceles trapezoid are each 7 feet long.
AnnZ [12381]
The diagonal measures 20.68 ft; the shorter base is 17.21 ft. To understand this, we recognize that with base angles summing to 140°, each angle is 70°, given the isosceles trapezoid's properties. We can apply the Law of Cosines to find the diagonal's length, denoted as d. The length of the diagonal determines to be d = 20.68 ft. Determining the shorter base is somewhat more complex. By drawing an altitude from the upper vertices to the base, which measures 22 ft, we create two similar smaller right triangles requiring us to find the height and base measures related to each of the 70-degree angles and the hypotenuse of 7. By working through the calculations for height and base from one triangle, we subsequently find that 22 minus twice the base measure gets us to the shorter base's measure, arriving at x = 17.21 ft.
