Answer:

Q.1. 0.4938

Q.2. 0.0062

Q.3. 0.1587

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

  • mean, μ = 12
  • standard deviation, σ = 2

In the figure attached, the standard normal distribution table is shown.

Z = (x - μ)/σ

Q.1.

if x = 7, then Z = (7 - 12)/2 = -2.5

if x = 12, then Z = (12 - 12)/2 = 0

We want to find:

P(-2.5 < Z < 0) = P(Z < 0) - P(Z < -2.5) = 0.5 - 0.0062 = 0.4938

Q.2.

We want to find:

P(Z < -2.5) = 0.0062

Q.3.

if x = 5, then Z = (5 - 12)/2 = -3.5

if x = 10, then Z = (10 - 12)/2 = -1

We want to find:

P(-3.5 < Z < -1) = P(Z < -1) - P(Z < -3.5) = 0.1587 - 0 = 0.1587

Answer:

solved

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean = 12

SD = 2

Answer to part 2)  Less than 7 months

P(x < 7)

P(x < 7) = P(z < (7-12)/2) = P(z < -2.5)

This probability can be obtained by referring to the Z table

Thus P(x < 7) = 0.0062

1) Between 7 and 12 months

P(7 < x < 12) = P( x< 12) - P(x < 7)

We have P(x < 12) = 0 ......[because mean = 12]

and P(x < 7) = 0.0062 ...[this we got is part a]

Thus on plugging these values we get

P( 7 < x < 12) = 0.5 - 0.0062 = 0.4938

Thus P(7 < x < 12) = 0.4938

You weigh a gallon of liquid in science class and learn that it is approximately 7.7 pounds. You pass the liquid to the next gro
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

7.7 pounds = 3.5 kilograms

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Weight of a gallon of liquid = 7.7 pounds

We need to find weight in kilograms.

We must know the relation between pounds and kilograms and it is as follows :

1 kilogram = 2.20 pounds

or

1 pounds = (1/2.2) kilograms

7.7 pounds = (7.7/2.2) kilograms

= 3.5 kilograms

Hence, 7.7 pounds is equal to 3.5 kilograms.

On a trip, a motorist drove 150 miles in the morning and 50 miles in the afternoon. His average rate in the morning was twice hi
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

Morning's average rate = 50 mph, and Afternoon's average rate = 25 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose he drove 150 miles for X hours, then his average rate in the morning was (150/X) mph.

Given that he spent 5 hours in driving.

And he drove 50 miles for (5-X) hours, then his average rate in the afternoon was 50/(5-X) mph.

Given that his average rate in the morning was twice his average rate in the afternoon.

(150/x) = 2 * 50/(5-x)

150/x = 100/(5-x)

Cross multiplying terms, we get:-

150*(5-x) = 100*x

750 - 150x = 100x

750 = 100x + 150x

750 = 250x

x = 750/250 = 3.

It means he spent 3 hours in the morning and 2 hours in the afternoon.

So morning's average rate = 150/3 = 50 mph.

and afternoon's average rate = 50/(5-3) = 25 mph.
