b. 0.6772 = 67.72% probability that the sample mean is more than 56 pounds.

d. 0.0146 = 1.46% probability that the sample mean is less than 53 pounds.
e. 0% probability that the sample mean is less than 49 pounds.
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.
Normal Probability Distribution:
Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
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 p-value, 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 [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].
For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.
The Aluminum Association reports that the average American uses 56.8 pounds of aluminum in a year. The population standard deviation of annual usage is 12.3 pounds.
This means that [tex]\mu = 56.8, \sigma = 12.3[/tex]
Sample of 50:
This means that [tex]n = 50, s = \frac{12.3}{\sqrt{50}} = 1.74[/tex]
a. More than 59 pounds
This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 59.
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
By the Central Limit Theorem
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{59 - 56.8}{1.74}[/tex]
[tex]Z = 1.26[/tex]
[tex]Z = 1.26[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.8962
1 - 0.8962 = 0.1038
0.1038 = 10.38% probability that the sample mean is more than 59 pounds.
b. More than 56 pounds
This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 56. So
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{56 - 56.8}{1.74}[/tex]
[tex]Z = -0.46[/tex]
[tex]Z = -0.46[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.3228
1 - 0.3228 = 0.6772
0.6772 = 67.72% probability that the sample mean is more than 56 pounds.
c. Between 56 and 57 pounds
This is the pvalue of Z when X = 57 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 56.
X = 57
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{57 - 56.8}{1.74}[/tex]
[tex]Z = 0.11[/tex]
[tex]Z = 0.11[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.5438
X = 56
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{56 - 56.8}{1.74}[/tex]
[tex]Z = -0.46[/tex]
[tex]Z = -0.46[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.3228
0.5438 - 0.3228 = 0.2210
0.2210 = 22.10% probability that the sample mean is between 56 and 57 pounds.
d. Less than 53 pounds
This is the pvalue of Z when X = 53.
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{53 - 56.8}{1.74}[/tex]
[tex]Z = -2.18[/tex]
[tex]Z = -2.18[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.0146
0.0146 = 1.46% probability that the sample mean is less than 53 pounds.
e. Less than 49 pounds
This is the pvalue of Z when X = 49.
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{49 - 56.8}{1.74}[/tex]
[tex]Z = -4.48[/tex]
[tex]Z = -4.48[/tex] has a pvalue of 0
0% probability that the sample mean is less than 49 pounds.

68
(4x - 2)
30
Answers
Answer: 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
68 = 4x + -2 + 30
Reorder the terms:
68 = -2 + 30 + 4x
Combine like terms: -2 + 30 = 28
68 = 28 + 4x
Solving
68 = 28 + 4x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-4x' to each side of the equation.
68 + -4x = 28 + 4x + -4x
Combine like terms: 4x + -4x = 0
68 + -4x = 28 + 0
68 + -4x = 28
Add '-68' to each side of the equation.
68 + -68 + -4x = 28 + -68
Combine like terms: 68 + -68 = 0
0 + -4x = 28 + -68
-4x = 28 + -68
Combine like terms: 28 + -68 = -40
-4x = -40
Divide each side by '-4'.
x = 10
Simplifying
x = 10
Answer:
x = 10, y = 112
Step-by-step explanation:
4x - 2 + 30 and 68 are vertical angles and are congruent , then
4x - 2 + 30 = 68
4x + 28 = 68 ( subtract 28 from both sides )
4x = 40 ( divide both sides by 4 )
x = 10
------------------------
y and 68 lie on a straight line and sum to 180° , then
y + 68 = 180 ( subtract 68 from both sides )
y = 112
Use the Graphical Method to solve the following linear programming problems.Mr. Trenga plans to start a new business called Rivers Explorers, which will rent canoes & kayaks to people to travel 10 miles down the Clarion River in Cook Forest State Park. He has $45,000 to purchase new boats (canoes & kayaks). He can buy canoes for $600 each & kayaks for $750 each. His facility can hold up to 65 boats. The canoes will rent for $25 per day & the kayaks will rent for $30 per day. How many canoes & how many kayaks should he buy to earn the most revenue (rental income)?
Answers
Answer:
To maximize his earnings, Mr. Trenga must purchase 40 kayaks and 25 canoes.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since Mr. Trenga plans to start a new business called Rivers Explorers, which will rent canoes & kayaks to people to travel 10 miles down the Clarion River in Cook Forest State Park, and he has $ 45,000 to purchase new boats (canoes & kayaks) , and he can buy canoes for $ 600 each & kayaks for $ 750 each, and his facility can hold up to 65 boats, if the canoes will rent for $ 25 per day & the kayaks will rent for $ 30 per day, to determine how many canoes & how many kayaks should he buy to earn the most revenue, the following calculation should be performed:
65 x 750 = 48,750
48,750 - 45,000 = 3,750
750 - 600 = 150
3,750 / 150 = 25
25 x 600 + 40 x 750 = 45,000
25 x 25 + 30 x 40 = 1,825
600 x 5 = 3,000
750 x 4 = 3,000
40 x 30 + 25 x 25 = 1,825
60 x 30 + 0 x 25 = 1,800
56 x 30 + 5 x 25 = 1,805
52 x 30 + 10 x 25 = 1,810
48 x 30 + 15 x 25 = 1,815
44 x 30 + 20 x 25 = 1,820
Thus, to maximize his earnings, Mr. Trenga must purchase 40 kayaks and 25 canoes.

Remark
This is a sine law question. They can be rather nasty because no answer or 2 answers are possible. This one is well behaved because B, you are told, is acute. The two answer kind needs the supplement of an acute angle.
Sorry this blabs on and shouldn't. You are looking for <B
Formula
Sin(<B)/the side opposite = Sin(<A) / side opposite it
Simplified
Sin(<B) / 9 = Sin(A)/11
Sin(<B) / 9 = Sin(80) / 11 Multiply both sides by 9
9*Sin(B) / 9 = 9 * Sin(80) /11 The 9s Cancel
Now all you need to do is put it in your calculator. Do you need the steps?
Sin(B) = 9*sin(80) / 11
Sin(B) = 9 * 0.9848 /11
Sin(B)= 0.8058
B = Sin-1(0.8058)
B = 53.68
B = 54

$3.97 x 4
