Answer:

<em>2.5%</em><em> of the snakes are longer than 16.6 in</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The Z score is,

Z=\dfrac{X-\mu}{\sigma}

here,

X = raw score = 16.6

μ = mean = 15

σ = standard deviation = 0.8

So,

Z=\dfrac{16.6-15}{0.8}=2

Z-score is the measurement of how many standard deviation away the data is from the mean. Hence, the value 16.6 is 2 standard deviations right to the mean.

Approximately 95% of the data falls within two standard deviations of the mean. (between the mean-2 times the standard deviation, and the mean+2 times the standard deviation)

So the 5% of data are left in the remaining space. As we have to find the amount of snakes which are longer than 16.6 in i.e we have to find the area to the right of 16.6.

The remaining 5% of amount is divided in two equal parts.

Therefore, \dfrac{5}{2}=2.5\% of the snakes are longer than 16.6 in

The correct answer for the question that is being presented above is this one: "3.5%" The lengths of a particular snake are approximately normally distributed with a given mean mc025-1.jpg = 15 in. and standard deviation mc025-2.jpg = 0.8 in. The percentage of the snakes that are nlonger than 16.6 in is 3.5%

$13,168is invested, part at 13%and the rest at
Kryger [21]

Answer: the amount invested at 13% is $9748

the amount invested at 5% is $3420

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the amount invested at 13%.

Let y represent the amount invested at 5%.

$13,168 is invested, part at 13 % and the rest at 5%. This means that

x + y = 13168

The formula for determining simple interest is expressed as

I = PRT/100

Where

I represents interest paid on the loan.

P represents the principal or amount taken as loan

R represents interest rate

T represents the duration of the loan in years.

Considering the amount invested at 13%,

P = x

R = 13%

T =1 year

I = (x × 13 × 1)/100 = 0.13x

Considering the amount invested at 5%,

P = y

R = 5%

T = 1 year

I = (x × 5 × 1)/100 = 0.05y

If the interest earned from the amount invested at

13% exceeds the interest earned from the amount invested at

5% by $1438.24, it means that

0.13x - 0.05y = 1438.24 - - -- - - - - -1

Substituting x = 13168 - y into equation 1, it becomes

0.13(13168 - y) - 0.05y = 1438.24

1711.84 - 0.13y - 0.05y = 1438.24

- 0.13y - 0.05y = 1438.24 - 1711.84

- 0.08y = - 273.6

y = - 273.6/- 0.08

y = 3420

x = 13168 - y = 13168 - 3420

x = 9748

The number of texts per day by students in a class is normally distributed with a 
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

1, 2, 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The z score shows by how many standard deviations the raw score is above or below the mean. The z score is given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma} \\\\where\ x=raw\ score,\mu=mean, \ \sigma=standard\ deviation

Given that mean (μ) = 130 texts, standard deviation (σ) = 20 texts

1) For x < 90:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma} \\\\z=\frac{90-130}{20} =-2

From the normal distribution table, P(x < 90) = P(z < -2) = 0.0228 = 2.28%

Option 1 is correct

2) For x > 130:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma} \\\\z=\frac{130-130}{20} =0

From the normal distribution table, P(x > 130) = P(z > 0) = 1 - P(z < 0) = 1 - 0.5 = 50%

Option 2 is correct

3) For x > 190:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma} \\\\z=\frac{190-130}{20} =3

From the normal distribution table, P(x > 3) = P(z > 3) = 1 - P(z < 3) = 1 - 0.9987 = 0.0013 = 0.13%

Option 3 is incorrect

4)  For x < 130:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma} \\\\z=\frac{130-130}{20} =0

For x > 100:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma} \\\\z=\frac{100-130}{20} =-1.5

From the normal table, P(100 < x < 130) = P(-1.5 < z < 0) = P(z < 0) - P(z < 1.5) = 0.5 - 0.0668 = 0.9332 = 93.32%

Option 4 is incorrect

5)  For x = 130:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma} \\\\z=\frac{130-130}{20} =0

Option 5 is incorrect

6)  For x = 130:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma} \\\\z=\frac{160-130}{20} =1.5

Since 1.5 is between 1 and 2, option 6 is correct

A rectangle has a height of 4x ^ 3 width of x ^ 3 + 3x ^ 2 + 2x . Express the area of the entire rectangle .
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

4x^6+12x^5+8x^4

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of a triangle, you need to multiply the width by the height. In this case:

(4x^3)(x^3+3x^2+2x)=\\4x^6+12x^5+8x^4

Hope this helps!
