A company ships gift baskets that contain apples and pears the distributions of weight for the apples the pears and baskets are each approximately normal with mean and standard deviation for each distribution as shown in the table below the way to the items are assumed independent let the random variable W represent the total weight for apple six pairs in one basket which of the following is closest standard deviation of W

Respuesta :

Answer:

1.97

Step-by-step explanation:

Following are the solution to the given points:

Assume A, P, and B is the masses of apples, pears, and basket, respectively.

[tex]\to W = 4A + 6P + B[/tex]

Calculating the mean of W:

[tex]\to \bold{W = E(W) }[/tex]

         [tex]\bold{= E(4A + 6P + B)} \\\\ \bold{= 4E(A) + 6E(P) + E(B)}\\\\\bold{= 4 \times 4.72 + 6 \times 5.41 + 13.52} \\\\ \bold{= 18.88 + 32.46 + 13.52} \\\\ \bold{= 64.86 }[/tex]

Calculating the variance of W:

[tex]\to \bold{W=Var(W)}\\\\[/tex]

         [tex]\bold{= Var(4A + 6P + B)}\\\\ \bold{= 42 Var(A) + 62 Var(P) + Var(B)}\\\\\bold{= 16 \times 0.22 + 36 \times 0.182 + 1.882}\\\\ \bold{= 3.52 + 6.552 + 1.882}\\\\ \bold{= 5.3408}[/tex]

Calculating the standard deviation of W:

[tex]\to \bold{W= \sqrt{5.3408}= 2.311017}[/tex]

The linear combination of Normal random variables is known to follow the normal distribution.

[tex]\to \bold{W \sim N(64.86 , 2.311017)}[/tex]

Calculating the Probability of the Total Weight is more difficult.[tex]\to \bold{67 = P(W > 67)}[/tex]  

         [tex]\bold{= P[ Z > \frac{(67 - 64.86)}{ 2.311017}]}\\\\\bold{= P[Z > 0.93]}\\\\\bold{= 0.1762}[/tex] (Using Standard Normal distribution)

Therefore, the final answer is "64.86, 2.311017, and 0.1762".
