Answer from: csnider

Part 1:

The z-score of a value, a, given the mean, μ, and the standard deviation, σ, is given by

$z= \frac{a-\mu}{\sigma}$

Thus, given that the average cost per ounce for glass cleaner is 7.7 cents with a standard deviation of 2.5 cents.

The z-score of glass cleaner with a cost of 10.1 cents per ounce is given by

$z= \frac{10.1-7.7}{2.5} = \frac{2.4}{2.5} =\bold{0.96}$

Part 2:

Assuming the data is normally distribution, the probability that a normally distributed data is between two values a and b is given by

$P(a\ \textless \ X\ \textless \ b)=P(X\ \textless \ b)-P(X\ \textless \ a) \\ \\ =P\left(z\ \textless \ \frac{b-\mu}{\sigma} \right)-P\left(z\ \textless \ \frac{a-\mu}{\sigma} \right)$

Thus, given that a candy bar takes an average of 3.4 hours to move through an assembly line and that the standard deviation is 0.5 hours.

The probability that the candy bar will take between 3 and 4 hours to move through the line is given by

$P(3\ \textless \ X\ \textless \ 4)=P(X\ \textless \ 4)-P(X\ \textless \ 3) \\ \\ =P\left(z\ \textless \ \frac{4-3.4}{0.5} \right)-P\left(z\ \textless \ \frac{3-3.4}{0.5} \right)=P(z\ \textless \ 1.2)-P(z\ \textless \ -0.8) \\ \\ =0.88493-0.21186=\bold{0.6731}$

Part 3

Given that the average noise level in a diner is 30 decibels with a standard deviation of 4 decibels.

The value for which the noice level is below 99% of the time is the value for which the probability that the noice level is below that value is 0.99.

Assuming the data is normally distribution, the probability that a normally distributed data is less than a value, a, is given by

$P(X\ \textless \ a)=P\left(z\ \textless \ \frac{a-\mu}{\sigma} \right)$

Thus, given that the average noise level in a diner is 30 decibels with a standard deviation of 4 decibels.

The value for which 99% of the time, the noise level is below is obtained as follows:

$P(X\ \textless \ a)=0.99 \\ \\ \Rightarrow P\left(z\ \textless \ \frac{a-30}{4} \right)=P(z\ \textless \ 2.33) \\ \\ \Rightarrow\frac{a-30}{4}=2.33 \\ \\ \Rightarrow a=4(2.33)+30=\bold{39.32}$

Note: there is standard deviation value was omitted in the question post but I used 4 as my standard deviation. So you can substitute the appropriate standard deviation for you question.

Part 4:

From the empirical rule, it is known that for a normally distributed data that 95% of the data are within 2 standard deviations.

Thus, given that the mean income per household in a certain state is $29,500 with a standard deviation of $5,750.

The values between which 95% of the incomes lies is obtained as follows:

$95\% \ of \ the \ data \ lies \ between \ \mu\pm2\sigma=\$29,500\pm2(\$5,750) \\ \\ =\$29,500-\$11,500 \ and \ \$29,500+\$11,500=\bold{\$18,000 \ and \ \$41,000}$

Answer from: Quest

location: point 0

step-by-step explanation:

well, -8 to 10 on a number line is 18 spaces.

1/9 of 18 is 2.

so, 4/9 of 18 must be 8.

8 spaces from -8 (a) is 0.

so, 4/9 of the way from -8 to 10 is 0!
