A chip used in the production of particleboard (Question 4) has a 15% chance of containing excessive bark. What is the probability of having more than 860 bark-free chips in a batch of 1,000

Answer:

0.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

P(particleboard with excessive bark) = 0.15

The P(that particleboard do not have excessive bark) = 1 - 0.15

i.e the population proportion number of success p = 0.85

The sample size (n) is given to be = 1000

To find the P(X ≥ 860)

Since the sample size is large, we will apply the normal approximation of binomial distribution to treat this question.

The population mean [tex]\mu = n \times p[/tex]

[tex]\mu = 1000 \times 0.85[/tex]

[tex]\mu =850[/tex]

The population standard deviation [tex]\sigma = \sqrt{n*p(1-p)[/tex]

[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{1000*0.85*(1-0.85)}[/tex]

[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{1000*0.85*(0.15)}[/tex]

[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{127.5}[/tex]

[tex]\sigma = 11.2916[/tex]

Let X be the random variable which obeys a normal distribution;

Then;

[tex]P(X \ge 860) = P(Z\ge \dfrac{x- \mu}{\sigma})[/tex]

[tex]P(X \ge 860) = P(Z\ge \dfrac{860- 850}{11.2916})[/tex]

[tex]P(X \ge 860) = P(Z\ge \dfrac{10}{11.2916})[/tex]

P(X ≥ 860) = P(Z ≥ 0.8856)

P(X ≥ 860) = 1 - P(Z ≤ 0.8856)

From  z table

P(X ≥ 860) = 1 - 0.8122

P(X ≥ 860) = 0.1878

P(X ≥ 860) [tex]\simeq[/tex] 0.2

Thus, the probability of having more than 860 bark-free chips in a batch of 1,000 = 0.2

A researcher claims that the variation in the salaries of elementary school teachers is greater than the variation in the salaries of secondary school teachers (the claim). A random sample of 30 elementary school teachers has a variance of $ 8324, and a random sample of 30 secondary school teachers has a variance of $2862. At α= 0.05, can the researcher conclude that the variation in the elementary school teachers' Salaries is greater than the variation in the secondary teachers' salaries? Use the P-value method.
Assume that all variables are normally distributed.

a. State the hypotheses and identify the claim.
b. Find the critical value.
c. Compute the test value.
d. Make the decision.
e. Summarize the results.

You are canning 40 cups of applesauce. You have 20 glass jars, each of which will hold 134 cups of applesauce. Choose the correct explanation(s) that explain why you do not have enough jars.


You do not have enough jars because 20 jars will only hold 35 cups of applesauce.

You do not have enough jars because you have enough applesauce left to completely fill 2 more jars, and almost fill a third jar.

You do not have enough jars because you need a total of 40×134=70 jars.

You do not have enough jars because the 20 jars would need to hold 2 cups each, but each holds 14-cup less than that.
