A cereal manufacturer has a machine that fills the boxes. Boxes are labeled "16 ounces," so the company wants to have that much cereal in each box. But no packaging process is perfect, so there will be minor variation. If the weight was set to 16 ounces, then half of the boxes would be underweight, which would not make consumers happy. So, manufacturer sets the weight to 16.3 ounces for filling the boxes. Based on their experience the company knows that the standard deviation will be 0.2 ounces. If the boxes are labled 16 ounces(and expected to weight 16 ounces), then what precentage of the boxes will be underweight? Include a sketch in your answer. Rounding rule for probability: 3 decimal places
Unitary Method
The word “unitary” comes from the word “unit”, which means a single and complete entity. In this method, we find the value of a unit product from the given number of products, and then we solve for the other number of products.
Speed, Time, and Distance
Imagine you and 3 of your friends are planning to go to the playground at 6 in the evening. Your house is one mile away from the playground and one of your friends named Jim must start at 5 pm to reach the playground by walk. The other two friends are 3 miles away.
Profit and Loss
The amount earned or lost on the sale of one or more items is referred to as the profit or loss on that item.
Units and Measurements
Measurements and comparisons are the foundation of science and engineering. We, therefore, need rules that tell us how things are measured and compared. For these measurements and comparisons, we perform certain experiments, and we will need the experiments to set up the devices.
