Answer:
Tanks of 15.3081 gallons and larger are considered too large.
Step-by-step explanation:
Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean and standard deviation
, the zscore of a measure X is given by:
The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
In this problem, we have that:
How large does a tank have to be to be considered too large
largest 2%, so at least the 98th percentile.
The 98th percentile is X when Z = 0.98. So it is X when Z = 2.054.
Tanks of 15.3081 gallons and larger are considered too large.
Answer: Plane C (blue horizontal plane)
The points in question are marked in the diagram below. All you need are three points to define a plane.
The green vertical plane T contains point K, but not point X or point H.
