Given:
Let L be the weight, in ounces, of a randomly selected order of loaded fries.
;
where is the mean of the random variable L and is the standard deviation of the random variable L.
Let D be the weight, in ounces, of a randomly selected order of dirty fries.
where is the mean of the random variable D and is the standard deviation of the random variable D.
In the below solution, let Z be a standard normal variate or
a) Expected value of L+D is , since expectations are linear.
Therefore, .
Hence, Expected value of L+D is 10.6 ounces.
b) Variance of L+D is given by , since , since L and D are independent.
Therefore, , since variance is the square of standard deviation.
Standard Deviation of L+D is 0.6403 ounces.
c) (standardizing L into the normal variate)
( by referring to the normal table values).
Therefore, the probability that an order of loaded fries weighs less than 5 ounces is 0.2119.
d)
,(by properties of normal distribution)
Therefore, the probability that an order of loaded fries weighs between 5 and 6 ounces is 0.6730.
e) .Here, p is the 95th percentile of the random variable D.
The 95th percentile of Z is found to be 1.645. ( This can be checked from the normal table).
Therefore, p=(1.645*0.4)+5.2=5.858
The 95th percentile of D is 5.858.
f) Let U = L+D,
We know from the questions (a) and (b) that =E(U)=10.6 and
Therefore, the probability that L+D weighs greater than 11 ounces is 0.266.
g) , since L and D are independent.
P(L>5 and D>5) = 0.7881*0.6915= 0.5449
Hence, the probability that each of the order weighs more than 5 ounces is 0.5449.
h)
,since , since L and D are independent.
Therefore, the probability that D is greater than L is 0.3783.
