Using the total weight the number of red, green and yellow colour are 2, 4 and 3 respectively.

<h3>How to find each colour using total weight?</h3>

The total number of reds, yellows, and greens on a scale is 9.

The reds weighed 3 pounds each, the yellows weighed 6 pounds each, and the greens weighed 5 pounds each. The total weight is 44

pounds. There are 2 more greens than reds.

Therefore,

let

x = number of reds

number of greens = x + 2

y = number of yellow

Therefore,

x + x + 2 + y = 9

2x + y = 7

3x + 6y + 5(x + 2) = 44

3x + 6y + 5x + 10 = 44

8x + 6y = 34

Hence,

2x + y = 7

8x + 6y = 34

8x + 4y = 28

8x + 6y = 34

2y = 6

y = 6 / 2

y = 3

2x + 3 = 7

2x = 7 - 3

2x  = 4

x = 4 / 2

x = 2

Therefore,

the number red colour = 2

the number of green colour = 2 + 2 = 4

the number of yellow colour = 3

Semenov [28]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Use a calculator with built-in statistical functions.  The function applying here is normcdf(, the "cumulative density function."  

(a) The percentage of values lying between 138 and 162 is

norm(138,162, 150, 12), which comes out to 0.683, or 68.3%.

(b)  Find norm(126, 174, 150,12):  0.945, or 94.5%

(c)  Find norm(126,162, 150,12);  0.819, or 81.9%

(d) Find norm(162, 174,150,12):  0.136, or 13.6%
