Explain why the two triangles below are similar by writing the appropriate similarity theorem. Then find x. Round your answer to the nearest tenth. (example answer ---> SSS,9.2 ---> no spaces)
Answers
Answer:
SSS Theorem
[tex]x = 35.7[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
The attached triangle
Solving (a) The similarity theorem
The given sides of the triangle are similar.
In other words, they are similar by sides.
Hence, the theorem is: SSS
Solving (b): Find x
To find x, we make use of the following equivalent ratios.
[tex]\frac{14}{25} = \frac{14+6}{x}[/tex]
This gives:
[tex]\frac{14}{25} = \frac{20}{x}[/tex]
Cross multiply
[tex]14 * x = 20 * 25[/tex]
[tex]14 * x = 500[/tex]
Solve for x
[tex]x = \frac{500}{14}[/tex]
[tex]x = 35.7[/tex] -- approximated

A certain brand of candies have a mean weight of 0.8616g and a standard deviation of 0.0518 based on the sample of a package containing 447 candies. The package label stated that the net weight is 381.8g If every package has 447 candies the mean weight of the candies must exceed 381.8/447=0.8542 for the net contents to weight at least 381.8g.
a) If 1 candy is reandomly selected, find the probability that it weights more than 0.8542g.
The probability is ________.
(round to four decimal places as needed)
b) If 447 candies are reandomly selected find the probability that their mean weight is at least 0.8542 g.
the probability that a sample of 447 candies will have a mean of 0.8542g or greater is __________.
(round to four decimal places as needed)
c) Given these results does it seem that the candy company is providing consumers with the amount claimed on the label?
Answers
Answer:
a) The probability is 0.5557 = 55.57%.
b) The probability that a sample of 447 candies will have a mean of 0.8542g or greater is 0.9987 = 99.87%.
c) Yes, because there is a very large probability, of 99.87%, that the amount will be at least the one claimed on the label.
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.
Normal Probability Distribution:
Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value 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. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
Central Limit Theorem
The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].
For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.
Mean weight of 0.8616g and a standard deviation of 0.0518
This means that [tex]\mu = 0.8616, \sigma = 0.0518[/tex]
a) If 1 candy is reandomly selected, find the probability that it weights more than 0.8542g.
This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 0.8542. So
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{0.8542 - 0.8616}{0.0518}[/tex]
[tex]Z = -0.14[/tex]
[tex]Z = -0.14[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.4443
1 - 0.4443 = 0.5557
The probability is 0.5557 = 55.57%.
b) If 447 candies are reandomly selected find the probability that their mean weight is at least 0.8542 g.
Sample of 447 means that [tex]n = 447, s = \frac{0.0518}{\sqrt{447}} = 0.00245[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
By the Central Limit Theorem
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{0.8542 - 0.8616}{0.0245}[/tex]
[tex]Z = -3.02[/tex]
[tex]Z = -3.02[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.0013
1 - 0.0013 = 0.9987
The probability that a sample of 447 candies will have a mean of 0.8542g or greater is 0.9987 = 99.87%.
c) Given these results does it seem that the candy company is providing consumers with the amount claimed on the label?
Yes, because there is a very large probability, of 99.87%, that the amount will be at least the one claimed on the label.

A probability calculator is required on this problem; answer to six decimal places. Suppose we will flip a fair coin 100 times. Using a calculator, find the probability of getting between 42 and 58 heads (inclusive) in two ways: By a Normal approximation: 0.910869 Exactly: 0.920609 How far off is the Normal approximation
Answers
Answer:
0.910870.911374 0.000504Step-by-step explanation:
Number of toss ( n ) = 100
probability of a head in 1 toss ( p ) = 0.5
Hence : np = 100 * 0.5 = 50 > 5, also n( 1-p) = 50 > 5
mean value ( μ ) = np = 50
std = √ n(p)(1-p) = √100(0.5)(0.5) = 5
Using Normal approximation
P( 42 ≤ x ≤ 58 ) = P ( 42-0.5 ≤ x ≤ 58 + 0.5 )
= P( (41.5 - 50) / 5 < Z < (58.5 - 50) / 5 )
= P ( -1.7 < Z < 1.7 )
= 0.91087
Using Calculator to get the exact value
P( 42 ≤ x ≤ 58 ) = 0.911374
How far off is the Normal distribution (Absolute value of error )= | 0.911374 - 0.91087 | = 0.000504
