The weight of potato chip bags filled by a machine at a packaging plant is normally distributed with a mean of 15.0 ounces and a standard deviation of 0.1 ounces. What percentage of bags weigh more than 14.8 ounces

97.73% of bags weigh more than 14.8 ounces.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the weight of potato chip bags filled by a machine at a packaging plant is normally distributed with a mean of 15.0 ounces and a standard deviation of 0.1 ounces.

Let X = weight of potato chip bags filled by a machine

So, X ~ N()

The z-score probability distribution for normal distribution is given by;

               Z =  ~ N(0,1)

where, = mean weight = 15.0 ounces

             = standard deviation = 0.1 ounces

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is away from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value (area) 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.

So, percentage of bags that weigh more than 14.8 ounces is given by = P(X > 14.8 ounces)

  P(X > 14.8 ounces) = P( > ) = P(Z > -2) = P(Z < 2)

                                                                   = 0.9773 or 97.73%

Now, in the z table the P(Z x) or P(Z < x) is given. So, the above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 2 in the z table which has an area of 0.9773.

Hence, 97.73% of bags weigh more than 14.8 ounces.

answer: the sun

explanation:

water cycle describes the evaporation of water from earth's surface, formation of clouds and precipitation water back onto the surface of earth. seventy percent of the earth is covered with water in the form of seas and oceans. the heat of the sun causes the evaporation of water from the surface of the ocean. the water vapors rise and condense to form water droplets. the collection of these water droplets form clouds which rain down again.

the evaporation of the oceans surface water as part of the water cycle is caused by the sun

answer: 75°

step-by-step explanation:

∠esk is the supplement of ∠edk, so is 100°. ∠esd = 1/2·arc ed, so is 25°.

since ∠esk = ∠esd + ∠dsk

you have 100° = 25° + ∠dsk . .

fill in known values 75° = ∠dsk . . . . .

subtract 25°
