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%

. Only 2% of a large population of 100-ohm gold-band resistors have resistances that exceed 105 ohms. a. For samples of size 100
Soloha48 [4]

Using the information given above, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion of 100-ohm gold-band is 2.

  • <em>Sampling distribution of proportion, P = 2% = 0.02 </em>

  • <em>Sample size, n = 100</em>

<u>The sampling distribution of the sample proportion can be calculated thus</u>:

  • <em>Distribution of sample proportion = np</em>

Distribution of sample proportion = (100 × 0.02) = 2

Therefore, there is a probability that only 2 of the samples will have resistances exceeding 105 ohms.
