5.5-4. Let X equal the weight of the soap in a "6-pound" box. Assume that the distribution of X is N(6.05. 0.0004). (a) Find P(X < 6.0171). (b) If nine boxes of soap are selected at random from the production line, find the probability that at most two boxes weigh less than 6.0171 pounds each. HINT: Let Y equal the number of boxes that weigh less than 6.0171 pounds. (c) Let X be the sample mean of the nine boxes. Find P(X ≤ 6.035).

Please solve this question i will rate you Probability and statistics are related areas of mathematics which concern themselves with analyzing the relative frequency of events. Both subjects are important, relevant, and useful. But they are different, and understanding the distinction is crucial in properly interpreting the relevance of mathematical evidence. In this discussion please discussion how probability and statistics are related and the differences between the two fields of mathematics.
MATH PROBABILITY AND STATISTICS, PLEASE ANSWER JUST IN 10 MINUTES, NOT ANYMORE A team of two engineers, A and B, was assigned to check a set of computations. The two work simultaneously but separately and independently. The probability of engineer A spotting a given error is 0.4, whereas that for B is 0.5. Suppose there is an error in the computation. What is the probability that the error will be discovered?

Keep your eyes and ears open as you read or listen to the news this week. Find/discover an example of statistics & probability in the news. Was it explained well, or poorly? What is the context? Do you think anything about the article is misleading? Can you make any inferences based on it? Initial post due Monday: Do you think that the statistics in the article would convince the reader of anything? Explain why or why not by referencing examples from the article.
