The value of the MN is 2 according to the assumption on the number line.

According to the statement

We have to find that the value of the MN with the help of the value of the x.

So, For this purpose, we know that the

A number line is a horizontal line that has equally spread number increments.

Now,

Assuming that L, M, and N are points on a number line with L < M < N,

According to the assumption, the equation become

4x + x+1 = 6

5x +1 =6

5x =5

x = 1.

Now, the value of the MN become:

MN = x + 1

MN = 1 + 1

MN = 2.

So, The value of the MN is 2 according to the assumption on the number line.

The amount of time Ricardo spends brushing his teeth follows a Normal distribution with unknown mean and standard deviation. Ric

Papessa [141]

Let $X$ denote the number of minutes spent brushing his teeth, and let $\mu$ be the mean and $\sigma$ the standard deviation for this distribution.

$\mathbb P(X$

The z-score corresponding to this probability is approximately $z=-0.2533$ , which means

$\dfrac{1-\mu}\sigma=-0.2533\iff\mu-0.2533\sigma=1$

Next, (note the sign change)

$\mathbb P(X>2)=0.02\implies\mathbb P(X\le2)=\mathbb P\left(\dfrac{X-\mu}\sigma\le\dfrac{2-\mu}\sigma\right)=0.98$

The corresponding z-score is approximately $z=2.0538$ , so you have

$\dfrac{2-\mu}\sigma=2.0538\iff\mu+2.0538\sigma=2$

Solving the two equations for $\mu$ and $\sigma$ , you'll find that the mean is approximately $\mu=1.1098$ and the standard deviation is approximately $\sigma=0.4334$ .
