The blood platelet counts of a group of women have a​ bell-shaped distribution with a mean of 247.9 and a standard deviation of

64.7. ​(All units are 1000 ​cells/μ​L.) Using the empirical​ rule, find each approximate percentage below. a. What is the approximate percentage of women with platelet counts within 2 standard deviations of the​ mean, or between 118.5 and 377.3​? b. What is the approximate percentage of women with platelet counts between 53.8 and 442.0​?

Answer:

A) Approximate percentage of women with platelet counts within 2 standard deviations of the​ mean, or between 118.5 and 377.3 = 95%

B) approximate percentage of women with platelet counts between 53.8 and 442.0 = 99.7%

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

mean;μ = 247.9

standard deviation;σ = 64.7

A) We want to find the approximate percentage of women with platelet counts within 2 standard deviations of the​ mean, or between 118.5 and 377.3.

Now, from the image attached, we can see that from the empirical curve, the probability of 1 standard deviation from the mean is (34% + 34%) = 68 %.

While probability of 2 standard deviations from the mean is (13.5% + 34% + 34% + 13.5%) = 95%

Thus, approximate percentage of women with platelet counts within 2 standard deviations of the​ mean, or between 118.5 and 377.3 = 95%

B) Now, we want to find the approximate percentage of women with platelet counts between 53.8 and 442.0.

53.8 and 442.0 represents 3 standard deviations from the mean.

Let's confirm that.

Since mean;μ = 247.9

standard deviation;σ = 64.7 ;

μ = 247.9

σ = 64.7

μ + 3σ = 247.9 + 3(64.7) = 442

Also;

μ - 3σ = 247.9 - 3(64.7) = 53.8

Again from the empirical curve attached, we cans that at 3 standard deviations from the mean, we have a percentage probability of;

(2.35% + 13.5% + 34% + 34% + 13.5% + 2.35%) = 99.7%

Answer:

Perimeter: 16x + 16

Area: 40x + 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember, the perimeter is the sum of all the sides of a figure, it can be found by adding up all the sides. The area is the space within the figure, in the case of a quadrilateral can be found by multiplying the length by the width. Finally, in a rectangle, the opposite sides are congruent, parallel, and intersect in 90degree (right) angles.

Using this,

1. Find the perimeter

Since opposite sides are congruent, there will be two sides with a measure of ( 8x + 3 ), and two sides with the measure of 5. Hence the sum of all the sides would be

8x + 3 + 8x + 3 + 5 + 5

Add them together,

16x + 16.

The perimeter of the figure is 16x + 16

2. Find the area,

To find the area of a rectangle, multiply the length by the width.;

( 8x + 3 ) * 5

Distribute:

40x + 15

The area of the figure is 40x + 15

telo118 [61]

Answer:

$4,523.40

Step-by-step explanation:

The cell phone cost is $124.65 per month. With 12 months in a year, we multiply $124.65 x 12 to get the answer $1,507.80. Since one year equals $1,507.80, we multiply this answer by 3 for 3 years to get $4,523.40. Thus three years of service with $124.65 a month would equal $4,523.40.

Answer:

a. 0.6899

b. 0.1642

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Given the probability of success is 0.94 for an expert and that the number of pairs, n=6:

-Each attempt is independent and therefore the probability of  the events is calculated as:

P(A \ and \B )=P(A)\times P(B)\\\\P(6)=0.94\times0.94\times0.94\times0.94\times0.94\times0.94\\\\=0.6899

Hence, the probability of correctly identifying the 6 matches is 0.6899

b.Given the probability of success is 0.74 for a novice and that the number of pairs, n=6:

-Each attempt is independent and therefore the probability of  the events is calculated as:

P(A \ and \B )=P(A)\times P(B)\\\\P(6)=0.74\times0.74\times0.74\times0.74\times0.74\times0.74\\\\=0.1642

#Hence, the probability of correctly identifying the 6 matches is 0.1642

*I have used the sample size of 6(due to conflicting info/question size).
