The normal distribution curve for the problem is shown below

We need to standardise the value X=405.5 by using the formula

$z-score= \frac{X-Mean}{Standard Deviation}$
$z-score= \frac{405.5-402.7}{8.8} =0.32$

We now need to find the probability of z=0.32 by reading the z-table

Note that z-table would give the reading to the left of z-score, so if your aim is to work out the area to the right of a z-score, then you'd need to do:

$P(Z\ \textgreater \ z)=1 - P(Z\ \textless \ z)$

from the z-table, the reading $P(Z\ \textless \ 0.32)$ gives 0.6255

hence,
$P(Z\ \textgreater \ 0.32)=1-0.6255=0.3475$

The probability that the mean weight for a sample of 40 trout exceeds 405.5 gram is 0.3475 = 34.75%

Finding the inverse function for f(x)=1/x^2

Anna [14]

to get the inverse of any expression, we start off by doing a quick switcheroo on the variables and then solve for "y".

$\stackrel{f(x)}{y}=\cfrac{1}{x^2}\implies \stackrel{\textit{quick switcheroo}}{x=\cfrac{1}{y^2}}\implies y^2=\cfrac{1}{x}\implies y=\sqrt{\cfrac{1}{x}}\implies \stackrel{f^{-1}(x)}{y}=\cfrac{1}{\sqrt{x}}$
