A machine fills boxes weighing Y lb with X lb of salt, where X and Y are normal with mean 100 lb and 5 lb and standard deviation 1 lb and 0.5 lb, respectively. What percent of filled boxes weighing between 104 lb and 106 lb are to be expected? a. 67%
b. None
c. 37%
d. 57%

Option b. None is the correct option.

The Answer is 63%

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for this question, we would be using the z score formula

The formula for calculating a z-score is given as:

z = (x-μ)/σ,

where

x is the raw score

μ is the population mean

σ is the population standard deviation.

We have boxes X and Y. So we will be combining both boxes

Mean of X = 100 lb

Mean of Y = 5 lb

Total mean = 100 + 5 = 105lb

Standard deviation for X = 1 lb

Standard deviation for Y = 0.5 lb

Remember Variance = Standard deviation ²

Variance for X = 1lb² = 1

Variance for Y = 0.5² = 0.25

Total variance = 1 + 0.25 = 1.25

Total standard deviation = √Total variance

= √1.25

Solving our question, we were asked to find the percent of filled boxes weighing between 104 lb and 106 lb are to be expected. Hence,

For 104lb

z = (x-μ)/σ,

z = 104 - 105 / √25

z = -0.89443

Using z score table ,

P( x = z)

P ( x = 104) = P( z = -0.89443) = 0.18555

For 1061b

z = (x-μ)/σ,

z = 106 - 105 / √25

z = 0.89443

Using z score table ,

P( x = z)

P ( x = 106) = P( z = 0.89443) = 0.81445

P(104 ≤ Z ≤ 106) = 0.81445 - 0.18555

= 0.6289

Converting to percentage, we have :

0.6289 × 100 = 62.89%

Approximately = 63 %

Therefore, the percent of filled boxes weighing between 104 lb and 106 lb that are to be expected is 63%

Since there is no 63% in the option, the correct answer is Option b. None.

step-by-step explanation: g=6

according to the triangle sum theorem, all the angles in a triangle must add up to 180 degrees. if we know one angle is already 90, we do 180-90=90. the other 2 angles must add up to 90, exactly.
