Weights of the vegetables in a field are normally distributed. From a sample Carl Cornfield determines the mean weight of a box

of vegetables to be 180 oz. with a standard deviation of 8 oz. He wonders what percent of the vegetable boxes he has grouped for sale will have a weight more than 196 oz. Carl decides to answer the following questions about the population of vegetables from these sample statistics: Carl calculates the z-score corresponding to the weight 196 oz. Using the table (column .00), Carl sees the area associated with this z-score is 0. Carl rounds this value to the nearest thousandth or 0. Now, Carl subtracts 0.50 - 0. = %.

To find the z-score for a weight of 196 oz., use

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{196-180}{8}=\frac{16}{8}=2

A table for the cumulative distribution function for the normal distribution (see picture) gives the area 0.9772 BELOW the z-score z = 2.  Carl is wondering about the percentage of boxes with weights ABOVE z = 2.  The total area under the normal curve is 1, so subtract .9772 from 1.0000.

1.0000 - .9772 = 0.0228, so about 2.3% of the boxes will weigh more than 196 oz.

According to a human modeling​ project, the distribution of foot lengths of women is approximately Normal with a mean of 23.4 ce
stiv31 [10]

Answer: 22.0.6%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : According to a human modeling​ project, the distribution of foot lengths of women is approximately Normal with \mu=23.3\ cm and \sigma=1.3\ cm.

In the United​ States, a​ woman's shoe size of 6 fits feet that are 22.4 centimeters long.

Then, the probability that women in the United States will wear a size 6 or​ smaller :-

P(x\leq22.4)=P(z\leq\dfrac{22.4-23.4}{1.3})\ \ [\because z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}]\\\\\approx P(z\leq-0.77)\\\\=1-P(z\leq0.77)\\\\=1-0.77935=0.2206499\approx0.2206=22.06\%

Hence,  the required answer = 22.0.6%

Thx u if u get the answer

So the man's age is divisible by 3, 5, and 7 but not by 2, 4, 6, or 8.

3 * 5 * 7 = 105
105 is not divisible by 2, 4, 6, or 8.
Not sure if any lower ages are there, but since the man is 105 years old, you would receive $105.
