The variable is

X: blood platelet count of a woman

This variable has a bell shaped distribution (Normal)

With mean μ=261.1 and standard deviation σ=64.3

a.

The platelet count within 3 standard deviations of the mean can be calculated as

μ±3σ

You can symbolize it as

μ-3σ ≤ X ≤ μ+3σ

According to the empirical rule of the normal distribution you know that under any bell shaped distribution:

Between μ ± σ you'll find the 68% of the distribution

Between μ ± 2σ you'll find the 95% of the distribution

Between μ ± 3σ you'll find the 99% of the distribution

So following this rule you'll find 99% of the women with platelet count within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

b.

3% of the population is found between a vertain interval, the rest 97% is separated in equal tails around this interval.

Divide 0.97 by 2

0.97/2= 0.485

Each tail contains 0.485 of the distribtuion.

a and b represent the values within you'll find 3% of the population.

Until a you'll find 0.485 of the population and until b you'll find 0.485+0.03=0.515

To calculate both unknown values you have to use the standard normal distribution. This distribution is centered in zero, the left tail is negative and the right tail is positive.

a and b are at a equal distance from the mean but with different sign, so you only have to calculate on and then you invert the sign to get the other one.

I'll calculate the positive value:

Z= (X- μ )/σ~N(0,1)

P(Z≤ b)=0.515

Look in the body of the Z-table, rigth or positive entry and reach the margins for the value:

b= 0.038

Then using the values of the mean and the standard deviation you can calculate the corresponding valueof platelet count:

b= (X- μ )/σ

0.038= (X- 261.1 )/64.3

0.038*64.3=X-261.1

2.4434+261.1=X

X=263.5434=263.5

a=-b=-0.038

a= (X- μ )/σ

-0.038= (X- 261.1 )/64.3

-0.038*64.3=X-261.1

-2.4434+261.1=X

X=258.6566= 258.7

3% of the populations platelet count is between 258.7 and 263.5.

If fence poists are to be placed in a row 7 feet apart, how many posts are needed for 210 feet of fence?
ollegr [7]

Answer:

31

Step-by-step explanation:

210 ft ÷ 7 ft = 30

There are 30 7-ft lengths of fence.

Think of putting a post at the end of each 7-ft length. That means you need 30 posts. Now you must add 1 post for the beginning.

Answer: 31

Sophie and Simon are peeling a pile of potatoes for lunch in the cafeteria. Sophie can peel all the potatoes by herself in 45 mi
natima [27]

Answer:

18 Minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Simon and sophie each do a fraction of the job per minute like this:

-Simon does \frac{1}{30} per minute (if we multiply this by 30 we have the completed job)

-Sophie does \frac{1}{45} of the job per minute (again if we multiply this by 45 we have the completed job)

We will add this two to know how much of the job they do together in a minute:

\frac{1}{30}+\frac{1}{45}=\frac{1}{18}

They will do \frac{1}{18} of the job per minute.

So the total time will be when they do \frac{18}{18}=1, we can put this in one equation like this:

\frac{1}{18}x=1

where x is the total times we need to do\frac{1}{18} of the job to complete it. We solve for x:

x=18minutes

1,000 POINTS!!!!!!!!! I NEED HELP ASAP
babunello [35]

Answer:

x   ≥ -4

Step-by-step explanation:

-3x + 2 ≤ 14

Subtract 2 from each side

-3x+2-2  ≤ 14-2

-3x  ≤ 12

Divide each side by -3 .  Remember that dividing by a negative flips the inequality.

-3x/-3 ≥12/-3

x   ≥ -4
