We are told that the price of basket of fries is drawn from a normal distribution with mean 6 and standard deviation of 2. You want to get 5 baskets of fries but you only have $28 in your pocket. What is the probability that you would have enough money to pay for all five baskets of fries?

32.64% probability that you would have enough money to pay for all five baskets of fries

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we have to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

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 pvalue, 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 $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 6, \sigma = 2, n = 5, s = \frac{2}{\sqrt{5}} = 0.8944$

You want to get 5 baskets of fries but you only have $28 in your pocket. What is the probability that you would have enough money to pay for all five baskets of fries?

28/5 = 5.6

So this is the pvalue of Z when X = 5.6.

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

By the Central Limit Theorem

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}$

$Z = \frac{5.6 - 6}{0.8944}$

Z = -0.45

Z = -0.45 has a pvalue of 0.3264

32.64% probability that you would have enough money to pay for all five baskets of fries

Answer from: Quest

the total estimated nappy use.=10,500,000

step-by-step explanation:

given that on an average the average baby uses 3528 napkins.

in a particular year 2014, the number of births were 299697 in new south wales.

rounding off the number of births to the nearest hundred thousand we have

no of birtsh = 300000

also rounding off the average usage to nearst thousand we get

average use of a baby = 3500

hence total number of nappy estimated to be used = 3500x300000

= 10,500,000

answer is 10,500,000 nappies
