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.

mark ordere wome balloons for a party that she is having.The balloons cost $4.50 each and there is a service fee of $12.The tota
ohaa [14]
A general equation to use for this situation is y = mx + b.

For this question, we can assume that y is total cost, m is cost per balloon, x is the amount of balloons, and b as the service fee; so we can set the equation up:

y = (4.50)x + 12

And we can further plug in the total cost to find the number of balloons purchased for the party:

79.50 = (4.50)x + 12

Now we can solve for x (number of balloons):

67.50 = (4.50)x

x = 15

The total number of balloons purchased for the party is 15.
