The weights of beagles (dogs) have approximately a normal distribution with u = 17.1 pounds and a standard deviation of o = 1.8 pounds. Suppose that we randomly select n = 64 beagles and measure their weights in pounds. Let X be the random variable representing the mean weight of the selected beagles. Let Xtot be the random variable representing the total weight of the selected beagles. a) About what proportion of beagles have weights between 17 and 18 pounds?
Permutations and Combinations
If there are 5 dishes, they can be relished in any order at a time. In permutation, it should be in a particular order. In combination, the order does not matter. Take 3 letters a, b, and c. The possible ways of pairing any two letters are ab, bc, ac, ba, cb and ca. It is in a particular order. So, this can be called the permutation of a, b, and c. But if the order does not matter then ab is the same as ba. Similarly, bc is the same as cb and ac is the same as ca. Here the list has ab, bc, and ac alone. This can be called the combination of a, b, and c.
Counting Theory
The fundamental counting principle is a rule that is used to count the total number of possible outcomes in a given situation.
Answer for part g and h
![The weights of beagles (dogs) have approximately a normal distribution with u = 17.1 pounds and a standard deviation of o = 1.8 pounds. Suppose that we randomly select n = 64 beagles and
measure their weights in pounds. Let X be the random variable representing the mean weight of the selected beagles. Let Xtot be the random variable representing the total weight of the
selected beagles.
a) About what proportion of beagles have weights between 17 and 18 pounds?
b) About what proportion of beagles have weights greater 20 pounds?
c) About how many of the 64 sampled beagles have weights less than 16.5 pounds? (nearest integer)
d) About how many of the sampled beagles have weights between 17 and 18 pounds? (nearest integer)
e) What is the standard deviation of the distribution of X?
f) What is the standard deviation of the distribution of Xtot?
g) What is the probability that 17 < X < 18?
h) What is the probability that Xtot > 1100?
