Answer:

21.77% probability that a randomly selected frog of this type has thumb length longer than 9.08 mm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 8.59, \sigma = 0.63

Calculate the probability that a randomly selected frog of this type has thumb length longer than 9.08 mm.

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 9.08. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{9.08 - 8.59}{0.63}

Z = 0.78

Z = 0.78 has a pvalue of 0.7823

1 - 0.7823 = 0.2177

21.77% probability that a randomly selected frog of this type has thumb length longer than 9.08 mm.

erik [133]

Answer:

explanation below

Step-by-step explanation:

Large companies in most cases, buy other smaller firms to benefit from their products or to snap up the talents they have in their system. There are also cases in which such acquisitions are made to destroy competition the smaller companies present.  

This form of acquisition can be termed “killer acquisition as the larger group tends to terminate the projects of the smaller companies and shelve whatever competing innovative projects they have before they can hit the markets with them.  

This type of scenario is known to be quite pervasive and could in some ways be very detrimental to the society. When competition is eliminated, people buy whatever they see with no alternatives around and in most cases, they pay exorbitant amount of money for telco products and services.
