Americans receive an average of 20 Christmas cards each year. Suppose the number of Christmas cards is normally distributed with

a standard deviation of 6. Let X be the number of Christmas cards received by a randomly selected American. Round all answers to 4 decimal places where possible. a. What is the distribution of X? X ~ N( 20 , 6 ) b. If an American is randomly chosen, find the probability that this American will receive no more than 24 Christmas cards this year. 0.7486 c. If an American is randomly chosen, find the probability that this American will receive between 21 and 26 Christmas cards this year. d. 66% of all Americans receive at most how many Christmas cards?

The distribution of X is X ~ N (20 , 6) and the probability that this American will receive no more than 24 Christmas cards this year is 0.7486.

<h3>Probability</h3>

a. Distribution

X ~ N (20 , 6)

b. P(x ≤24)

= P[(x - μ ) / σ  (24 - 20) / 6]

= P(z  ≤0.67)

=  0.74857

=0.7486

Hence:

Probability = 0.7486

c. P(21 < x < 26)

= P[(21 - 26)/ 6) < (x - μ  ) / σ   < (24 - 20) / 6) ]

= P(-0.83 < z < 0.67)

= P(z < 0.67) - P(z < -0.)

=  0.74857- 0.2033

= 0.54527

Hence:

Probability =0.54527

d. Using standard normal table ,

P(Z < z) = 66%

P(Z < 0.50) = 0.66

z = 0.50

Using z-score formula,

x = z×  σ +  μ

x = 0.50 × 6 + 20 = 23

23 Christmas cards

Therefore the distribution of X is X ~ N (20 , 6) and the probability that this American will receive no more than 24 Christmas cards this year is 0.7486.

<u>Trigonometry</u>

[Right Triangles Only] Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c²

  • a is a leg
  • b is another leg
  • c is the hypotenuse

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Identify</u>

<em>a</em> = x + 3

<em>b</em> = x

<em>c</em> = √117

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. Substitute [PT]:                                                                                                (x + 3)² + x² = (√117)²
  2. Expand [FOIL]:                                                                                                 x² + 6x + 9 + x² = (√117)²
  3. Combine like terms:                                                                                       2x² + 6x + 9 = (√117)²
  4. Exponents:                                                                                                      2x² + 6x + 9 = 117
  5. [SPE] Subtract 117 on both sides:                                                                    2x² + 6x - 108 = 0
  6. Factor out GCF:                                                                                               2(x² + 3x - 54) = 0
  7. [DPE] Divide 2 on both sides:                                                                         x² + 3x - 54 = 0
  8. Factor Quadratic:                                                                                            (x - 6)(x + 9) = 0
  9. Solve roots/solve <em>x</em>:                                                                                         x = -9, 6

Since we are dealing with positive values, we can disregard the negative root.

∴ x = 6

Determine the 1-unit growth factor for f f. [We encourage you to write the expression that represents the value of the growth fa
timofeeve [1]

Answer: The complete question is found in the attachment

Step-by-step explanation:

a) To determine the 1-unit growth factor for <em>f</em>

= 2.1/1.75 = 1.2

b) To determine the 1-unit percent change for <em>f</em>

<em>=100 x 1-1.2/1 = 0.2 x 100= 20%</em>

<em>c) to determine the initial value of f</em>

<em>f(x)= abˣ , b =1.2   a=initial value</em>

<em>at (-1,2.1)</em>

<em>2.1= (1.2)⁻¹ x a</em>

<em>a = 2.1/(1.2)⁻¹ </em>

<em>a = 2.1 x 1.2 = 2.52</em>

<em />

<em>d) to determine the function formula for f</em>

<em>f(x)= abˣ = 2.52(1.2)ˣ</em>
