The blood platelet counts of a group of women have a boll-shaped distribution with a mean of 261.1 and a standard deviation of 6

4.3 (All unia. What is the approximate percentage of women with platelet counts within 3 standard deviations of the mean, or between 68.2 and 45b. What is the approximate percentage of women with platelet counts between 132.5 and 389.7?a. Approximately 3% of women in this group have platelet counts within 3 standard deviations of the mean, or between 68.2 and 454.0.(Type an integer or a decimal. Do not round)b.

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.

A meeting room has 60 chairs. There are 5 chairs at each table. How many tables are in the room?
kherson [118]

Answer:

12 Tables.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are many ways you can solve this with, here is the simplest.

Lets make it as a statement, IF 1 table has 5 chairs THEN how many X tables have 60 chairs.

Make it simplier:

1 Table = 5 Chairs

X Tables = 60 Chairs

using the cross multiplication method you will get

5X = 60

Divide by 5

X = 12

Which means that the room has 12 tables.

For tournament 50 people are put int teams 35 people are picked to play rugby and 15 are picked to play football what percentage
kvasek [131]

Answer: 30%

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of people involved in the tournament= 50

Number of people chosen to play rugby= 35

Number of people chosen to play football= 15

To get the percentage of people that are chosen to play football, we divide the number of people chosen to play football by the total number of people chosen for the tournament and then multiply the answer by 100. This will be:

= 15/50 × 100

= 0.3 × 100

= 30%

The percentage of people chosen to play football is 30%.
