A candy maker produces mints that have a label weight of 20.4 grams. Assume that the distribution of the weights of these mints is
(a) Let X denote the weight of a single mint selected at random from the production line. Find
(b) During a particular shift, 100 mints are selected at random and weighed. Let Y equal the number of these mints that weigh less than 20.857 grams. Approximate

He looked at his watch, and the time read exactly 3:40 p.m. At this time, he started pumping gas into the tank. At exactly 3:44, the tank was full and he noticed that he had pumped 10.7 gallons. What is the average rate of flow of the gasoline into the gas tank?arrow_forward
- Can the average rate of change of a function be constant?arrow_forwardIt is thought that prehistoric Indians did not take their best tools, pottery, and household items when they visited higher elevations for their summer camps. It is hypothesized that archaeological sites tend to lose their cultural identity and specific cultural affiliation as the elevation of the site increases. Let x be the elevation (in thousands of feet) for an archaeological site in the southwestern United States. Let y be the percentage of unidentified artifacts (no specific cultural affiliation) at a given elevation. Suppose that the following data were obtained for a collection of archaeological sites in New Mexico: x 5.25 5.50 5.75 6.00 6.75 y 15 41 29 63 46 Given that r=0.592 and ² = 0.35, should a least squares line be used for predictions if a coefficient of determination of more than 0.5 is required? O Since about 59.2% of the behavior of the y variable can be explained by the corresponding behavior of the x variable if we use the equation of the least-squares line, the…arrow_forwardIt is thought that prehistoric Indians did not take their best tools, pottery, and household items when they visited higher elevations for their summer camps.
