Fuji apples grown at a certain orchard have a mean weight of 5.2 ounces with a standard deviation of 0.8 ounces. Suppose the scale the orchard owner uses systematically underweighs apples by 0.2 ounces and also weighs the apples in grams, rather than ounces. What would the mean and standard deviation of these apples' weights be as determined by this scale? (Note: 1 ounce ≈ 28 grams).

Mean 140 grams

Standard deviation 22.4 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

What would the mean and standard deviation of these apples' weights be as determined by this scale? (Note: 1 ounce ≈ 28 grams).

Mean = 5.2 ounces.

First step would be to convert from ounces to grams

1 ounce = 28 grams

5.2 ounces =

5.2 ounces × 28 grams

= 145.6 grams

He underweighs by 0.2 ounces

We convert this too

1 ounce = 28 grams

0.2 ounce =

0.2 ounce × 28 grams

= 5.6 grams.

The new mean weight of the Fuji apples is grams = 145.6 grams - 5.6 grams = 140 grams.

Standard Deviation = 0.8 ounces.

Even though he underweighed that apples by 0.2 ounces, there has minimal effect on the standard deviation of the apples.

Hence, the standard deviation if the apples in grams =

1 ounce = 28 grams

0.8 ounce =

0.8 ounce × 28 grams

= 22.4 grams

percentage - 25%

probability - 0.25

we know,

total amount of students in class = 20

total boys = 10

total girls = 10

no of girls who wear glasses = 10/2 = 5

probability of choosing a girl with glasses is =

number of girls wearing glasses/total number of students in the class = 5/20

thus, percentage of selecting a girl wearing glasses will be

= 5/20 × 100

= 5 × 5

25%

therefore,

probability will be 0.25
