Ahhh.. The wordings of these problems are so confusing... But i guess they're meant to throw me off... So i guess i got the answer correct then if I used 22 for the mean?

Homework Statement A machine fills cereal boxes at a factory. Due to an accumulation of small errors (different flakes sizes, etc.) it is thought that the amount of cereal in a box is normally distributed with mean 22 oz. for a supposedly 20 oz. box. Suppose the standard deviation of the amount...

Homework Statement Find the Z value that corresponds to the given area. http://img163.imageshack.us/img163/3785/problem1v.jpg The Attempt at a Solution What I did was go to Table E and find the closest number to 0.0166 which was 0.0160, and the Z numbers were 0.04 and 0.0. I then added them up...

Thanks, got the right answer!

Hi guys, I'm having a hard time figuring out these two expectation problems below. Can someone please help me? For this problem, here's what I got: x...300...? p(x)...0.998...0.002 I can't seem to figure out what to put in the ? (loss). Maybe i just don't understand the wording of the...

Hi everyone, I have trouble depicting the difference between these two problems. The first problem uses the multiplication rule to solve while the second problem uses the counting rules (combination) to solve. To me, it seems like both problems could be solved using the multiplication rule so I...

Got it, thanks!

Thank you so much Mark! When I encounter a problem like this, how do i know that it will be a weighted average problem?

I am having a difficult time grasping the multiplication rules - The rules are easy to remember but actually applying it to a problem is so confusing and frustrating as I don't know whether to use Rule #1 (independent events) or Rule #2 (Dependent events). Here's a problem from my book that I...

If I use the 24 ga to 18 ga approach, can I still use 3.5 amp fuse (i only have 3.5a and no 3a fuse) for the 2nd slot of the "add-a-circuit"? Also, if I splice 2 wires (24 awg) to the add-a-circuit, would I need a 7 amp fuse since a single 24 awg wire's maximum amps is 3.5a and I'm connecting 2...

Yep, but I want to know for future reference how to determine which set of data should be the mean, and which set of data should be the weight.

Hello, I have a 24 gauge wire that needs to be crimped onto a bullet connector and selecting the right crimp tool is actually a lot harder than I thought. I thought it was just simply selecting a crimp tool that fits the gauge requirement and voila, but there's actually crimp tools for...

Thanks. And about the add-a-circuit, the blue crimp-on connector only supports 18-16 AWG but my wire is 24 AWG. Someone suggested twisting my 2 wires together and double crimping the connector. What do you think? Or is there a better solution?Edit: What do you think if I bought 18 awg wires...

I see some words on it but it's way too small for my eyes to see. I will contact the seller and ask what material it is.

Hey! The brand of the gauges is called "Prosport Gauges." Here's their website: http://prosportgauges.com/ I bought the "Performance Series" 52mm electrical water and oil temperature gauges.
