Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming this complete question:
"Suppose a certain species of fawns between 1 and 5 months old have a body weight that is approximately normally distributed with mean kilograms and standard deviation
kilograms. Let x be the weight of a fawn in kilograms. Convert the following z interval to a x interval.
"
Previous concepts
Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".
The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".
Solution to the problem
Let X the random variable that represent the weights of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:
Where and
And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:
We know that the Z scale and the normal distribution are equivalent since the Z scales is a linear transformation of the normal distribution.
We can convert the corresponding z score for x=42.6 like this:
So then the corresponding z scale would be:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's set up a proportion using the following setup.
We know 30 buses can carry 1,500 people.
We don't know how many people 5 buses can carry, so we say 5 buses carry x people.
Cross multiply. Multiply the numerator of the first fraction by the second fraction's denominator. Then, multiply the first denominator by the second numerator.
Solve for x. It is being multiplied by 30. The inverse of multiplication is division. Divide both sides by 30.
5 buses can carry 250 people.
